00:04:59
Speaker
And we decided, well, the big reason that I don't have guests right now during the summer is because it's concert season. It's festival season. These guys are working, man.

Speaker
I ain't mad at them. Get out there and do your thing. Get your money. Get paid. get Get exposure. you know Just like us here. We got to create content. We got to get out there and be seen. They got to do the same thing.

00:09:42
Speaker
When I talk, when I bring up Derrida, uh, um and If you guys don't know, he talks about deconstruction, nostalgia, and what's known as hauntology. so But that's I'm going to stop right there. It's a music channel, not a philosophy. Is he in any relation to Joe Dyrte?
00:10:01
Speaker
No, no. Virginia is beautiful. Virginia is a decent city. I was born in Virginia, in Roanoke, actually. um What's going on, Untrackable?

Y'all are chomping at the bits to get in there. So I appreciate y'all doing that. We've been having a lot of fun on Saturday nights. And we had an old friend show up this past Saturday night, Blaze. And he asked about you. K-Mag popped in and was talking about kinds crazy shit. um I'll break out the philosophy. You guys break out your pillows.
00:11:01
Speaker
K-Mag stopped by. Yeah, so I woke the next day with ah with a a snap from him. With him like, pointing it at the pan. Hey man, where you at?
00:11:12
Speaker
I was out this weekend.
Music Festival Experiences and Cultural Reflections
00:11:15
Speaker
I went out. I didn't get to go camping because of the weather, but I did go out. I did pop in for a slight moment because I was sitting there waiting on the table.
00:11:23
Speaker
and um but I noticed you guys were messing with the trolls, so I kind of i kind of put them in timeout for 24 hours. We were wondering what happened to him. We were having fun.
00:11:36
Speaker
That was me. appeared on That was me. Well, it seemed like, a well from what I could tell, some people were having some issues with him. So i I went ahead and put him me so I don't ban or block. i want people to know, those those y'all in with wrenches, yo you guys got mod power, and that's awesome. don't unless it's like Unless it's like a threat or like a dick pic or like nudity, but you block them for that. That's fine. Whoever gets to it first, definitely do it.
00:12:06
Speaker
yeah Yeah, but like talking shit, like if they're getting like, if they're getting bad, just talking shit where it's like really fucking fucking around. Just just time out. Just put them in time out.
00:12:19
Speaker
Teach him a lesson. That's what I do with that New York. j I just put him in fucking time out for 24 hours. He needs. Yeah, he needs. he needs to be. It doesn't go for everybody.
00:12:31
Speaker
You guys are having fun with him. Yeah. I would block New York J, but unfortunately he's got 47 accounts and I just don't have the time or energy to block all of them. So, but yeah yeah, we were having fun with the troll.
00:12:45
Speaker
He was a bit special, but now shout out to, shout out to our, our open doors that jump in on the panel and hang out with Cause, I told you, I said, I'm not doing six hours. I got to get up the in the morning and I got to, this is music related. My my daughter's at band camp this weekend, or this week, my middle daughter. So I had to get up Sunday morning and and take her to band camp. And it was a good two hour drive there and a two hour drive back. And I'm sorry, dude. I know this is in context of your daughter. I don't mean to be bad, Bob.
00:13:14
Speaker
Every time I come to band camp, I think American Pie, man. Yeah, was already doing it. I was like, this one time at band camp? And she's like, I don't care. I was like, good. Good. Good.
00:13:29
Speaker
But, uh, yeah, it like I'm not, I'm not doing a full six hour show. I told blaze, I said, I'm not doing a full six hour show. I'm not drinking as much as I normally do. Guess what I did. ah so yeah you know and you you unique You ignored both of those.
00:13:42
Speaker
Yeah. However, I woke up Sunday. I felt great, man. I, uh, before the show, I pre-gamed with a lot of water. I was hydrated. Um, Before I started drinking, I made sure I got something nice and good to eat in my belly.
00:13:56
Speaker
So then I woke up Sunday morning. I felt good. Stopped. Got gas. Got me an electrolyte beverage. Not that I needed it. I just wanted to make sure I was hydrated. But, yeah, man, I felt good. So was a win-win. And she's off doing the band camp thing this week. please so Sweet.
00:14:12
Speaker
Nice. Nice. It is a really cool-looking camp, though. I hope she has fun. ah hope she I hope she has a good time. because Lord knows even me at 43, if I went camping there, I would have a blast because they had all kinds of fun stuff.
00:14:26
Speaker
So, but any whoies, you know how we roll around here on the Nonsense School Network. It's always banter. We just let the conversation go go where it goes. But,
00:14:38
Speaker
Like I said, we're going to talk a little music festivals, concerts. It's summertime, and that's what people do. And I know, like, just recently we had, as I call it, hippie fetch at Legend Valley. I don't know what it was called. Dreams and Waves.
00:14:50
Speaker
Something. It's some weird hippie fest, man. That was going on. It was a four-day event. um and king car although I can never say this. Ink Incarnation.
00:15:02
Speaker
which is a four-day rock festival up in Mansfield at the old Mansfield Reformatory. Rock rap music and tattoos, man. They got tattoo artists from from all over the country and some really big-name tattoo artists, some really famous ones.
00:15:18
Speaker
They come in, and you can get tatted up while you listen to some kick-ass music. Some of them do you know some of them do those, what are they called, flash tattoos or whatever, where they have like, You can get 20 bucks and they've got this big sheet of little tattoos you can get. It takes them like five, 10 minutes to do a tattoo. yeah they do They do 5,000 sunflowers at a music festival in a day. The assembly line of tattoos.
00:15:44
Speaker
Yeah, exactly. That should be a tattoo. I mean, outside of the great music, because there's a fuck ton of amazing bands and you're right there. It's not like you're not going hear the music. all day long but you're just sitting there at a chair just one sweaty drunk concert going after another which that is that is one of the that is one of the best things about festival i've only okay i've been been to a lot you know i've been to plenty of concerts i've only been to one camp slash music festival this was in 2005 yes it was
00:16:18
Speaker
It was up in the Ohio area. I think it was it was the Gathering of the Juggalos in 2005. So we will be touching on that a little bit. But I love the fact didn't matter where I was.
00:16:30
Speaker
and sometimes I couldn't be right there next to the stage because socializing or pissing whatever happened, you know. But it didn't matter where you were. The music was always loud.
00:16:42
Speaker
You could always do it. I love that. I think that's a great thing about outdoor concerts in general.
Nomadic Music and Internet's Cultural Impact
00:16:50
Speaker
you know like If you go to... so like was it last Not last year, the year before, went to Jason Aldean at Nationwide Arena.
00:16:59
Speaker
It's in the arena. If you go outside into like the pavilion area to go take a piss or go get a beer, you can barely hear the music. yeah yeah When you're in an outdoor venue, like you're saying, it doesn't matter where you're at or what you're doing.
00:17:12
Speaker
you you're going to hear the music you can still be hanging out with your friends and or making new friends whatever the case may be and still be able to enjoy the music and have a good time i think it's one of my favorite things about music festivals i've been to a few uh used to be rock on the range here in ohio now it's sonic temple that's a you have your big rock concerts uh rock music festival sonic temple inc um Louder Than Life out in your neck of the woods.
00:17:42
Speaker
Yeah. There's bourbon festival for me. Yeah, then there's some other then there's some other, there's a couple other big ones in some other cities and whatnot around this around the country.
00:17:54
Speaker
Palooza, think, is another one. Yeah. Yeah, Burning Man, shit like that. And then, you know, course, everybody knows about Woodstock. Burning Man isn't so much a concert as it's also like a living experience, like a life. as just said was it a like a like a like Like there's concerts, but I don't think it's like, I haven't been out there, but I've seen pictures and I've known people who go out there and I've brought up the concept or the concert angle. and They're like, it's more than that.
00:18:27
Speaker
And no show me videos and stuff. It's like they go in there and they build a mini village for a while. Oh yeah. It's nuts. It's like, It's like a nomadic thing to do. and i I'm drawn to it. I want to go. i plan on going.
00:18:43
Speaker
But over the years, from what I understand, it's mean i has been taken over by the trendy bunch. The best way I can put it. So it's gotten more commercialized, I guess. It used to be something where you didn't have to have a whole lot of money to really accomplish. But it's gotten that way. And it's weird because it's supposed to be a nomadic experience, in my opinion.
00:19:06
Speaker
So anyway. I digress. I blame TikTok. i i won't I won't blame TikTok because this shit was before, i but I will blame the internet. There's a lot of things I'm blaming the internet for lately.
00:19:23
Speaker
Fucking AI. yeah yeah You're having some issues with some things as news bla i'm having my I'm having my Gen X fucking experience right now where I'm yelling at the internet like my dad yelled at the TV, you what I mean?
00:19:37
Speaker
ah God damn it, turn down that fucking internet speed, you little kids. No, I'm joking.
Nostalgia and Economic Impact of Festivals
00:19:47
Speaker
No, yeah, like I said, I've been fortunate enough. I don't know that I have, you know, like,
00:19:52
Speaker
and then there's some country fests that i've gone to i don't even know if they're still around remember back in the day one of the things that i know my parents went to every year was jamboree in the hills and i think that was in like southern ohio but it was like a big four-day country music just party yeah and unfortunately i don't think they they they i don't remember how long it they since they've been doing it or haven't done it but i've i always wanted to go never got to the opportunity but i've been to like what's it called country jam or something. It's another one that they do out here in Ohio, which is, which is just a lot of fun because it's just a drunk. It was just a bunch of drunk rednecks and hillbillies and country bumpkins. So, and most people don't really think concerts, but this Sturgis motorcycle rally takes place in August and I was stationed right down the road from there. So I got to, I got to go on the cheap.
00:20:45
Speaker
I loved it. It was a great experience. but they have a lot of fucking big names that come through. Like fucking Tech N9ne played Full Throttle one time. Right? Yeah, so I mean, it's like every night there's concerts going on in the local establishments and it's fucking off the fucking hook. Nuts, dude.
00:21:03
Speaker
It is nuts. Because that town, if you guys ever been to Sturgis, South Dakota, that town for two weeks out of the year is like booming. It's a fucking metropolis of motorcycle heads.
00:21:15
Speaker
Fucking boobs and beer and bikes and... It's just amazing fun. But the rest of the year, fucking ghost town. Ghost town.
00:21:25
Speaker
There's a couple shops that are open for pass-throughers, like a leather store or two for motorcyclists. Other than that, it's a ghost town for the rest of the year. It's crazy. I bet and i bet they make all the money they need to make in those two weeks to survive the rest of the year. And then probably and then some, probably.
00:21:44
Speaker
Dude, music festivals, period, are fucking money makers. It takes takes yeah takes a lot of money to run them, though. It takes a lot of money to run them, but you also have to debt you hat yossips but factor in what it does to the local economy, man, or what it does for the local economy.
00:22:01
Speaker
You got four days of 20,000, 30,000 people just rushing your city. um Hotels are booked. Restaurants are getting slammed. you know Fast food, the gas stations. That is a is a huge moneymaker for the community.
00:22:17
Speaker
Slash me to stay empty. d Sorry, I've been to concerts, but but beard, I've been in that near 711. And there's slushy machines go empty quick on a hot day honest in Bend, Oregon. Oh, man, there was a there's an amp outdoor amphitheater there in Bend, Oregon. That's I think it's Hayden Holmes amphitheater now.
00:22:41
Speaker
And they had a lot of big names that come through.
Concert Humor and Personal Stories
00:22:44
Speaker
And i I want to tell i want to tell a story real quick. I it was a Cypress Hill concert. And At that time, I wasn't riding motorcycles much anymore. I spent my hiatus from that.
00:22:57
Speaker
But I had ridden, and I had ridden in Phoenix, Arizona. I had ridden with some clubs. and And there was you know the You get to know the colors and all that.
00:23:09
Speaker
So I'm at Central Oregon. It's a homogenized fucking city. It's a very trendy fucking place. And I'm sitting there in concert. A buddy of mine had bought...
00:23:21
Speaker
or brought, ah he grew his own Jack career. And if any smokers out there, no Jack career, it's a very heady high. It's, it's like turn the fucking bandana tight. Fucking like, Whoa, make you paranoid and all that.
00:23:37
Speaker
And we had been puffing on for a while. It was a fucking haul. And I'm sitting there, Cyper Hills fucking doing their thing. And I look around and all I see is, um,
00:23:48
Speaker
fucking What's the goddamn club out in fucking Arizona and California, black and white? Crap, the name excites me. Anyway, I saw a bunch of that.
00:24:01
Speaker
And my fucking head went back to South Dakota. And I was paranoid for like 20 minutes. i hadd to leave but I had to leave the whole fucking concert area, go stand in the back, sit down, and just relax.
00:24:13
Speaker
And like ride that high out. It was such a weird experience. This is the first time I've ever experienced anxiety off a joint that bad. It was crazy. Anyway, not it wasn't a funny story, but...
00:24:27
Speaker
If you're weed smoker, it would be. Yeah, like, for a non-weed smoker, it's like, yeah, i don't want to i don't I don't know why you why you do that to yourself. Like, that don't make no sense. why it wasn't it wasn't It wasn't planned because that shit usually doesn't happen. It was just it was all the stimulus it was all the stimuli, but weed the the motorcycle cuts, and for I don't know why that fucking motorcycle phone is escaping me.
00:24:54
Speaker
It'll pop in my head later. What is up, Tarantula? What up, Tarantula? Black and white. Is it like a well-known one? It is a well-known one.
00:25:05
Speaker
Like the Mongols? That's the one. Thank you. The Mongols, California. i should It should have clicked because California. so and I was trying to like rack wreck it. Mongols.
00:25:18
Speaker
like like I don't know anything about MCs or anything like that. But but it was it was so weird because I hadn't seen the Mongols since I was in California and Arizona.
00:25:30
Speaker
And then poof, in the middle of fucking Bend, Oregon. Ask Brandy how Bend, Oregon is. Seeing Mongols just pop up around there is kind of weird. So I'm sure she's probably familiar with Bend, Oregon.
00:25:42
Speaker
Anyway, anyway. Yeah. i i'm doing doing a button. What is up, Tarantula? How are you doing tonight? this blazes Blazes handle the buttons. we We're over here double tapping the buttons. I'm like, you know what? I'm not touching them tonight.
00:25:58
Speaker
I'm just talking. That animal has kicked in, my friend. I could tell. Man.
00:26:08
Speaker
I could tell. No, I think, you know, whether it be a music festival or concert, you know, I have been fortunate enough that I've got to go to some, you know, like we we touched on last week, you know, OzFest.
00:26:20
Speaker
know, I was fortunate enough to get to go to ah to three or four OzFest, you know, seeing Black Sabbath, seeing them riot because Ozzy got sick and he couldn't perform, and then seeing, so three out of the four were absolutely amazing times.
00:26:36
Speaker
Rock on the Range, well, you're now at Sonic Temple. Rock on the Range was always fun, and and it was one of those things where you didn't have to be down close by the stage. Now, like Sonic Temple and Rock on the Range, you have to buy tickets to be down there.
00:26:51
Speaker
Yeah, I went a louder Louder Than Life. This was the same thing. like Even when Polaris Amphitheater was open, in order to get down by the stage, you had they had seating down there, and you had to buy seats and tickets and stuff like that.
00:27:06
Speaker
Louder Than Life was my first festival experience where you could literally just fight your way through the crowd and get right up in front of the stage if you wanted to.
00:27:18
Speaker
Which I got pretty close for Guns N' Roses. um But that was about the only band that I really wanted to go through the effort to get kind of sort of closest to. Outside of that, I was like, yeah, I want to be away from gin pop.
00:27:32
Speaker
away from genpop but but
00:27:37
Speaker
Because going to tell you, we're going to take a break, then we'll come back and talk more about the experiences and stuff. But this is one thing I learned very early on in my, because I used to go to a lot of concerts and and and and music festivals and stuff like that.
00:27:52
Speaker
Early on, I learned real quick, the last place you wanted to be in the middle of the summer, and I don't care what genre of music it is, is with gen pop, because they are sweaty. They are stinky.
00:28:02

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. and all i've been yeah I've been into what age At what age did you were like, nope, I'm done?
00:29:59
Speaker
I'll be 100% honest with you. I'm almost 44, and I feel like i have one more mosh pit in me. You think that until until you see it. Until you see it Until you see yeah But no, I think i think in all honesty, I think the last pit I was in,
00:30:17
Speaker
I might've been, uh, I might've been like 33, something like that. And I was like, yeah, the next day I was like, yeah, i don't want to do that again. i don't know if I ever want to do that if ever. My last one was in my mid thirties, about 35 ish 36. This in Arizona.
00:30:34
Speaker
And
00:30:37
Speaker
and Since then, though, I had an experience where I, like I said, you laugh until you see it. Because I had that same thing. was oh, might have one more in me.
00:30:47
Speaker
Then I go to a concert in Louisville. And it's like punk. Punk rapper is crazy. The energy was high. i was like, yeah, this is good.
00:30:59
Speaker
and And I take a step in my in my ankle and my knees like, you know what, buddy? You go down. you're not getting up. yeah yeah And I look down at my ankle and yes, sir. yes Yeah, that's that's that's my that's that's my problem.
00:31:19
Speaker
My brain and my body don't always see eye to eye My brain's like, yeah, we could do this. And my body's like, no, bro. No, we ain't built like that.
00:31:30
Speaker
we're We're not built for that anymore. No, no. So, and I'm glad because like I was sitting there staring at all the dudes doing it and There was women in there. i don't want to ah yeah I use dude in in in a neutral way. Anyway, so many people in there and they were all in their 20s and early 30s and I'm like,
00:31:50
Speaker
Man, they and they were going hard. And I just, I was like, I was appreciative. was like, fuck yeah. I i was like, i guess I guess I'm the old guy in the back now sipping on my beer. Now who's on their pedestal? It's not so bad to be up on your pedestal going, yeah, I'm going to stay on your chin pop.
00:32:09
Speaker
I'm not talking down at him, though. I appreciate it. I appreciate them. I'm going to appreciate them from a distance. You do your thing. I remember being that guy. No, I think the first mosh, this is surprising.
00:32:21
Speaker
This one kind of caught me off guard. The first mosh pit I was ever in was at a Tech N9ne concert. Okay. i had to We've got a place here on campus or close to campus at OSU campus.
00:32:34
Speaker
It's called the Newport. and it's ah it's ah it's an it's it's It's not a big venue. It's a nice like size venue, but it's it's very when they have concerts, it's it's cramped in there.
00:32:45
Speaker
and That was my first experience, and it caught me off guard because I wasn't expecting it. I had a hell of a time, man. I'm like, I can body slam people, throw punches, elbows, kick. be like This is great.
00:32:59
Speaker
Yeah. be' like I came in here like I got stress and frustrations and aggravations. I walk out and I'm like, hell yeah, man. You just start swinging for the fences and body shaking people and everybody's having a good time. Nobody's even mad at each other. Oh, yeah.
00:33:15
Speaker
It's like you jump in, you start bracing for it. You see that you bring up a Tech N9ne concert. and I've seen this at Tech N9ne concerts that he was touring with Cottonmouth Kings. I think it was Dark Lotus at the time. Anyway,
00:33:29
Speaker
You can sit there, and you you're like walking back from the bar, and you can look over the crowd, and you see the mosh pit moving and moving. And it's going, it doesn't say up front, it goes throughout the crowd, and you see it coming your way, and you got your beard, and you're like, ah, yeah here we go raised new dad who had
00:33:53
Speaker
we go. It is, it is, a yeah, it is. it's It's literally a storm that you can just... yeah There is no real safe place. I mean, it it is what it is, especially in some of these indoor venues. It's like, well, this is going to happen.

00:42:53
Speaker
Who doesn't want to get drunk, be dehydrated, and crash out at a KISS concert?
00:43:00
Speaker
I've never been doing Kiss. I don't know why i said Kiss. They just popped into my... You know what? I'll give them credit. I'm not the biggest fan of them. I think Gene Simmons is a giant douche canoe and a money-grabbing whore.
00:43:12
Speaker
But they put on a hell of a show, man. They put on a hell of a show. So does Mini Kiss. That I would love to see. I saw them on accident. Truly. Best $24.00 ever.
00:43:23
Speaker

00:43:34
Speaker
Are they? Is it little people? Mm-hmm. i've never I've never heard of that. That is hilarious. Dude, you've got to look them up like on YouTube or something like that. They they are amazing. i would love I would intentionally buy tickets to go see them. Or Kiss. Or Big Kiss. Or Real Kiss.
00:43:51
Speaker
I would go see Mini Kiss. Minus Peter Chris, aren't they? Or is it The Ace? Yeah, I think so. i think so. One of them. Yeah, one of But no, I will say...
00:44:05
Speaker
Definitely an experience that I'm glad I got to witness because they put on a, and I do like some Kiss songs. yeah but Wow, a holy shit. it's so It's a whole ass theatrical, like they put on a fucking show.
00:44:20
Speaker
So that was ah that was that was at an outdoor concert venue in the summer. Psycho Circus, I believe was their tour that got to go see it. Okay. I think I saw it was called.
00:44:32
Speaker
I could be wrong. It was like but What, 96, 95? Were you old enough to go to shows? I was like 16 or 17. Were you old enough to do it? I got when I was in California, was stationed there, and we got free tickets to concert.
00:44:56
Speaker
It was a ZZ Top Ted Nugent concert. That'd be cool. Because it was free tickets, it was through the and NWR. ah We all just sat in the back in a grissy grassy knoll.
00:45:09
Speaker
And two things. One, ah besides beach balls, they threw around tortillas. It was weird. It was like Frisbees, but edible. don't know. you got the munchies and the tortilla flies. It lands in your lap from the sky. it sounds like and sounds like a good thing.
00:45:29
Speaker
And besides getting to see ZZ Top in concert, ah i've always I've always liked their music. It's smooth. It's just cool rock. I like it. I got to see Ted Nugent drop a ah ah ah dummy of Saddam Hussein on that down on the stage and him bring out his bow and arrow and fucking shoot it with a flaming fucking arrow and shit.
00:45:51
Speaker
That was interesting to watch. So, free tickets? Yay. MWR, that's morale, welfare, and recreation. oh yeah Hell yeah. ah Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, the only two original surviving members of Kiss. Okay.
00:46:13
Speaker
Gene Simmons, is any on someone's list? No, no i don't think yeah I don't think Gene Simmons serves any signs of stopping him. Did you hear, speaking of Kiss, and this is music related,
00:46:26
Speaker
Apparently, Gene Simmons being the money bag whore that he is, ah they have done something where Kiss is not going away. They're actually going to have a new lineup with four new members touring under the name Kiss. And Gene still gets his pockets filled.
00:46:44
Speaker
So Kiss is not done touring. He's franchising. you look yeah Basically, yeah. The official Kiss-approved cover band.
00:46:54
Speaker
like they they are they like fuck like They are the new this generation's kiss, or whatever you want to call it. Something about the licensing and the imagery and and the name. It's...
00:47:11
Speaker
No, I'm not jealous of Jesus. Trust me. Trust me. I ain't jealous of the man at all. and And if I could put my face on toilet paper and you assholes would buy it and make me a rich man, I'd put my face on toilet paper and we could make blazing coffins.

We could make coffins. We could make blazing coffins. Whatever. We'll put all of our faces on whatever you want us to if you dumbasses are going to buy
Humorous Concert Escapades and Nostalgic TV

The name sounds familiar, but I would have to listen to the song. And I might i might recognize it, but I don't know who the guy is. I'll be 100% honest with you.
00:48:35
Speaker
Well, he's not a real person. He's Canadian. Oh, well, that makes a whole lot of sense right there. Why didn't you lead with that? and our text I didn't don't know what it left you on. I'm like you not a toino died yeah you're kidding, I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

00:49:10
Speaker
but Geez. Fair enough. Bad audience on my part. like on Which one do I go to? Man, there are so many good ones.
00:49:25
Speaker
So if you've ever been there, it's in Washington State. It's by far the most fabulous concert venue I've ever been to. It's called The Gorge in George, Washington.
00:49:37
Speaker
George, comma Washington. The town is called George in the state of Washington, George, Washington. The gorge in George, Washington. It's carved out of the side of a canyon wall. ah The sun rises at your back, so as the sun's coming down, it's right behind the stage where you're watching the music.
00:49:54
Speaker
It's really cool. Well, I'm sitting with some strangers because I lost my friends going inside. We were there to see fish. We were kicking off. It was the second show of Fall Tour, 1998. 1998, for sure.
00:50:08
Speaker
ninety ninety eight for sure And sat down with some strangers. I was tired of wandering around. i was twisting up a joint. And two staff people came up from behind us. I got to nowhere.
00:50:20
Speaker
Hey, we're going to have to confiscate that. said, what are you talking about? going to confiscate that. I said, you're not cops, dude. Well, don't make us call the cops. So I just grabbed my sack, chucked it in my pocket, and started hauling ass. Now, mind you, here's how canyons look.
00:50:36
Speaker
Here's one wall of the canyon, here's the other. So there's little stepped out terraces with grass. And then step step, step, step, step down the next terrace. So each terrace has like a, not a fence exactly, but like a, what would you call that? A safety bar or whatever? Yeah. Safety rail, a safety rail.
00:50:56
Speaker
So young me hops right off the top of these rails, leap on the rail, dive down to the next area. People were like cheering me on as I'm running. I made it all the way from the second tier at the at the Gorge and George all the way down onto the floor, like in the pavilion section, like the floor, floor seats.
00:51:18
Speaker
Hopping over and over, scrambling down, like crawling in between people, just losing these suckers somehow. Did not get busted. I never did find my friends. I found them not in the next city or anything, but I had to get, I had to hitchhike my way. Like I made new friends and found my way to where we camped. It was, it was a hell of a night.
00:51:38
Speaker
In all jumps and leaps and bounds and hiding and shit. I lost that big ass sack of weed. ah Here's the thing. It was me and like three other dudes weeds. Oh, no.
00:51:50
Speaker
i was muleing it in, so I don't give a shit. And, yeah, it ah it popped out of my pocket in my mad dash to freedom. Oh, no. Yeah, that sucked. Fucking bummer. Well, that sounds like a proper Phish concert, though.
00:52:03
Speaker
Yeah, I have a story. I'll never forget that story.
00:52:09
Speaker
ah People were yelling, run, rabbit, run, rabbit, run. Wrong band, Assistant Floyd.

Speaker
ninety three i think maybe ninety four Grateful Dead, Pittsburgh.
00:52:53
Speaker
We're at ah at the parking area, it's after the show. The entire city of Pittsburgh is just melting before me. And there's the cop 50 yards away or less direct in traffic.
00:53:05
Speaker
And I keep hearing.
00:53:14
Speaker
I said, man, somebody's got balloons. Let's go find these balloons. a punch ball balloon of medical grade nitrous oxide. o And I'm just slow sipping on that, watching that cop directing traffic, looking at all of us wandering around 50 yards away from him with a hundred balloons.
00:53:34
Speaker
I mean, there's balloons everywhere. And I never heard, stuck. It was constant until we drove away. They were still feeling blues when we left like an hour and a half later. We were just hanging out that forever.
00:53:46
Speaker
That was Pittsburgh. I believe it was 92 or 93. I said 94, but that was Aaron. That was 92 or 93. Damn. You know, that is... I have never i have never tried Nitrous and I want to.

I had somebody that I used to consider a very good friend of mine and we were roommates.
00:57:49
Speaker
And I went out of town one weekend ah to go camping, whatever, doesn't doesn't really matter. So this this musician signed these boots that he bought me, or he signed the boots that he puked on, go out of town for a weekend, come back to our apartment.
00:58:05
Speaker
The apartment's empty. This son of a bitch stole all my stuff and dipped. I was so mad because there was a so some other stuff that I had that I was really pissed off about.
00:58:17
Speaker
But those boots were one of the big things that I i was just mad at. can't replace that. You can't. All I have is the story. And this is before cell phones and shit like that. So it's not like i can go, oh, yeah, here's my gallery. And this is me and so-and-so.
00:58:32
Speaker
You know, can't do it. It's just like all I have is the fucking story and the people that were with me that remember it happened. Yeah.
00:58:39
Speaker
But it was was such a just out of nowhere. Dude was fine. I think we're going to do another. show I'm like, well, that just fucking happened. But then took you out of your boots. i mean, if he was still hanging, man. He booted me rally. Yeah, he was. Yeah, he was super cool. He felt terrible about it. I'm like, dude, it's all right. It happens. It's not the first time I've got. You felt terrible.
00:59:01
Speaker
Yeah. Like, yeah, well, there's that. Like, this is not the first time I've got vomit or shit because they were my work boots. They were my cowboy boots. You know, I. working around the farm, whatever the case may be. Like, you know, like this is this is not anything new. And he's like, nope, nope. Of course, you know how drunk people are when they set their mind to something. i'm like, all right, dude, whatever. i was like, I like these ones. Nope, you don't like these ones. These are really good boots. I'm like, whatever, man.
00:59:27
Speaker
You got more money than I do. so That's what I would been doing. I was like, well, how expensive am I allowed to buy? Yeah, right. Fuck it. He's treating me into a new pair of boots for puking on my old ones.
00:59:43
Speaker
Yeah, he's I'm going to let him make make me feel better. Fuck yeah. For sure. boom go just i would I would have been happy with just the story of of him not being able to hang with with the old alcoholic and Glick over here just drinking his face off. but Well, I just looked up Garth Brooks. and Oh, I'm sorry.
01:00:06
Speaker
I'm sorry. Oh, yeah. Sorry. Yeah. Sorry, Garth. I know you're having some issues. i didn't want to put your name out there. Sorry, Garth. And the thunder rolled. No.
01:00:16
Speaker
That is not the country singer, However, however i have i have got to see I have got to see Garth Brooks a couple times in concert. No story like that. Just a really cool show. Just an absolutely amazing. The guy is a... I'm a huge Garth Brooks fan. I love all his music. see Garth or Chris Gaines? They are different artists. No, Garth.
01:00:35
Speaker
They are different artists. They're different people. fifty
01:00:41
Speaker
In his story.
01:00:44
Speaker
Really actually brilliant on his part. Oh, no, it was, it and it was in and in my opinion, it was actually a pretty good album. Because it was not his norm. But if you are a fan of Garth Brooks and you listen to Garth Brooks music, he did a ah tour and he did an album some some odd years back called Blame It On My Roots.
01:01:05
Speaker
And he was brought up listening to everything. Rock, blues, country, but music that kind of influenced his his style and his career. And he did this box set called Blame It On My Roots. And he took each genre and did a whole bunch of covers of like hit songs from each genre.
01:01:22
Speaker
Really good. It was actually amazing. was i I'm going to have to check that out. But you know I'm a huge fan of Garth, so I got to see him a couple times in concert. An absolutely amazing performer and puts on a spectacle of the show.
01:01:38
Speaker
The guy's got a 360 stage. spins. His drummer's in a ball that comes up. over He's upside down drumming. It's a lot more. yeah Yeah, it's a lot going on. You don't expect that at a country concert, though.
01:01:52
Speaker
You know what I mean? But...
01:01:56
Speaker
um but But yeah, you know, man, I've gone to a lot of concerts in my life.
01:02:06
Speaker
I saw the dead 13 times. Go ahead. I saw the dead 13 times before Jerry passed. Wow. Wasn't a big fan of the dead, but that would have been a cool concert to go to just to have the experience. Not just the concert. It's the whole environment. i mean Yeah, like that experience. that Everything. it's ah It's like you said, it's an experience.
01:02:25
Speaker
It's an experience. I remember a few of them. I was going to say, how many of those do you remember? because Thanks, LSD. There's reasons to write down every set list because I remember always what I saw.
01:02:37
Speaker
Yeah. remember I had a lot of fun seeing it. e Save my program. Yeah. oh yeah Oh, yeah. Yeah, lots of fun experiences. i had some not-so-fun experiences. I know we went to... I was telling to you guys before, i used to do...
01:02:58
Speaker
country jam here every year. It was just an all-day event, but the the local radio station that put it on was 92.3, so tickets were 92 cents, and it was at the amphitheater in Columbus, and we were there one night, or we were there for one of the shows, and I had a buddy of mine that got a little bit too drunk and not a very big guy, but thought he was 10 feet tall on bulletproof and bulletproof picked a fight with a group of guys that somehow I got drug into, and then they took their attention off of him and put their attention onto me and got jumped by six guys at this ah at this concert and had one dude laying on top of me.
01:03:38
Speaker
Like, his arm was on my chest, his other arm was on my forehead, and he was, like, yelling in my face. Meanwhile, the whole time, I'm just from the ground, just, like, rocking him in the face. it when a awesome And when they finally so pulled us apart, like, this dude's face was just hamburger.
01:03:56
Speaker
like <unk> I didn't have a mark on me. I was mad because my necklace got ripped off in the scuffle. big you know I handled my own. then I was mad at my buddies when we went to the bar because I'm like, you assholes just stood around and watched.
01:04:10
Speaker
you know I get jumped by these guys and they're like, you were doing fine.
01:04:15
Speaker
but Thanks, Jonathan. Thanks, guys. They're like, don't worry. We'll buy your beer the rest of the night. I'm like, all right, I'll forgive you. you know They wrote a check and your ass cashed it. Yeah, it's exactly what happened. I didn't get my ass whipped, though. I handled my own. And then we were leaving the kind that same concert. I'm still heated.
01:04:34
Speaker
And a couple cops stopped us outside the gates. And this one little short, stumpy cop started getting mouthy with me for no reason. was like, dude, what is your fucking problem? Like, we're leaving because I just got jumped in there. Meanwhile, the the guys who jumped me, they get to stay in the concert.
01:04:51
Speaker
But I had to leave. i'm like, whatever, dude. ain't got time for your bullshit. And he like stopped me and he grabbed his uniform. and He's like, you see this spot on my my uniform? And I'm like, did you spill your coffee or something?
01:05:02
Speaker
was like a little real little dot. He's like, this is the last guy that got lippy with me. And I was like, you should go check out the guy who got lippy with me in there, buddy. He's currently in the medical tent.
01:05:16
Speaker
I was like, I don't know what that's supposed to be, but all right, dude, whatever. i mean, I'm going to the bar and getting hammered, so you have fun standing here looking like a jackass all night long.
01:05:28
Speaker
Glick hitter. Glick hitter. Nice. Is there any concerts that guys regret that you never went and saw because now the person's angel of death?
01:05:42
Speaker
Yeah, we had to him. last dead show that that they played, I had tickets for it. Had to give them away. I couldn't. I was afraid about losing my stupid job at the time. I wish I would. to talk that job But I loved working at the video store as a manager of the store.
01:05:59
Speaker
And I'd already kind of taken a lot of concerts off in the middle summer of August, I believe August 57th. And I had to get that show. It a soldier field, if I remember correctly. And yeah. I ended up giving those tickets away to somebody else who could make it because I couldn't make it and I didn't want to get fired. so Yep, would have been the last show that Jerry was alive for and I had tickets and gave them yeah this this wasn't this wasn't This isn't an answer to my question. However, it's a similar experience. I had one ticket, two tickets to a concert that happened to be going on during an upcoming deployment and I couldn't get out of a deployment for a concert. you know what I mean?
01:06:38
Speaker
So I went online and I found some people that were fans too. And it was an obscure concert and found some fans and they they had fun. So cool.
01:06:50
Speaker
But yeah, yeah. It sucked, but it happens. Yeah. not and Not that I could like think right off the top of my head. I mean, obviously there's artists that have passed way before I was around that I would like Bob Marley or Hendrix. I wish I would have been alive back then so I could have seen them.
01:07:14
Speaker
and The original Queen lineup with Freddie me and Mercury and and whatnot. um Maybe Prince. I would probably wish I could have taken the opportunity when I had him to see Prince perform.
01:07:29
Speaker
just just to say i seen prince Just to say I've seen Prince live. Apparently the hologram Prince show in Vegas is amazing. and true is is is that Is that the sphere?
01:07:40
Speaker
I want to check out the sphere. I want to go see you I'm not sure where it is. i don't think it's the sphere, though. But it's supposed to be fucking incredible. Well, Glick, my answer... ahead.
01:07:52
Speaker
I said my answer is going to disappoint you, sir.
01:07:57
Speaker
Nirvana. Nirvana.
01:08:01
Speaker
You know what? As much... If I am disappointed in you, sir. No, hold on. See, I am... I mean, I don't care about the jokes because I don't have like a... It doesn't bother me, shit like that. More personality, gallows humor. But I'm a big Kurt Cobain fan.
01:08:22
Speaker
And I'm also not so much a Courtney Love fan. Well, I like some of her stuff way back in the day. Hole had some bangers, I thought.
01:08:34
Speaker
But I never really got into a lot of Hole. ah But um'm a he I was always a turco banger. Anyway, go ahead. That's not a doll parts. Doll parts.
01:08:46
Speaker
ah Yeah. No, I tell you what. Again, some concerts I've gone to ah may or may not have been the biggest fan. Just went for the experience. And just to say, I mean, I would have absolutely, whether I like the music or not,
01:08:59
Speaker
Kurt Cobain was very talented. ah Definitely a great songwriter. Very talented guy. i one ah I want to thank him for doing what he did or whatever you believe happened to the guy because I don't think the world would have really got to fully embrace and see the greatness of Dave Grohl had Nirvana still been doing their thing.
01:09:20
Speaker
And I love Dave Grohl. Uh-oh. think I think he's a fair point. Fair point. yeah I don't know if Because Nirvana was huge, man. They were massive. And I would have loved to have gone just so I could have said that.
01:09:36
Speaker
And there was a couple of songs I did like by them. Just so I could say, hey, I got the opportunity to see ah like you know a legend perform live. I won't tell you what. that that The newest Batman movie with sparkly vampire pace as Batman was ah they did that slowed down rendition of one of the Nirvana songs.
01:09:58
Speaker
Yeah. yeah but she's here with I think it was. Holy shit. So I want to give me goosebumps. Did that give me goosebumps, man? yeah It was yeah great.
01:10:11
Speaker
The thing with Kurt Cobain, when he this was prior to the internet. So and this was prior to cell phone and all that shit. When he died, my dad and and the rest of the family...
01:10:22
Speaker
we were on the road going to a different military installation. He had at pc PCS orders. So I didn't hear anything about it. And, of course, traveling with my dad, there's no way there's a radio station on this and you listen to my music.
01:10:39
Speaker
Fuck that. Yeah, exactly. I don't read the newspaper, on it so I might listen to the radio, which, by the way, explains my habit of never listening. I don't listen to the radio. my entire life. Maybe every great once in a while, but I've never listened to Anyway, I dig digress. Anyway, so i we get we get back to we get to Fort Knox.
01:11:02
Speaker
I get enrolled in fucking school. you know A few days go by. I'm starting to get to know people, so i'm not really talking to talking anybody. I'm just keeping it in myself. and there was a There was a girl, Patty, that I went to elementary school with the first time we lived in Fort Anyway, so later on, we were talking on the phone. She goes, we brought up Nirvana. And that's when she told me, she goes, it's sad he died.
01:11:30
Speaker
um like, what? Wait, huh? He died like a few weeks ago. like, holy shit. Right. Well, that's the crazy thing. Like, it didn't, you know, it didn't spread as fast as it does these days. You know. On MTV News and CNN.
01:11:51
Speaker
That was the whole game back then. Two channels. my my My dad would not let me watch like when in his presence. so and he He's one of those ones that he controlled the remote control.
01:12:02
Speaker
I didn't watch MTV unless I went ah went to the the youth club on base. And we were allowed to watch it. Really. Or when I was a teenager and I finally got my own TV in my room or some stupid shit. but like Growing up, growing up, my dad fucking despised Nickelodeon. I digress and I'm not going to go down the road.
01:12:21
Speaker
That was strict, bro. Dude, you could not stand. You cannot do that on television. My favorite fucking show. Yeah. hey da your dad but Your dad was strict, bro. Damn.
01:12:34
Speaker
He softened up. What's that? it joy This is banned. then I think your dad was in my house. We might be half-brothers. MTV.
01:12:47
Speaker
Cash is like, what's MTV, dad? yeah Oh, MTV is a is a ghost of its former self. be back to hand Blaise's dad said he wasn't allowed to watch MTV back in the day when he was a kid. oh you appreciate man I appreciated the fact that because my dad controlled the remote control and was a Star Trek fan, which is ironic, to tell you the truth, ah i i was I was introduced to Star Trek and I fucking thank him that shit.
01:13:22
Speaker
Gene Rohnberry, his philosophy was was a a moment in my life to help me question things. Oh, yeah.
01:13:33
Speaker
No, Cash, back in my day, MTV was music television. They had music videos on there. They didn't have all the stupid shows. You said MTV's for the devil. MTV's for the devil. MTV's for the devil.
01:13:46
Speaker
It's on TV, mama. It's the devil. Yeah, i will I will say that the the Nirvana Unplugged episode was great. They made Meat Puppets cool again.
01:13:59
Speaker
Yes. I love that song. That's my favorite song that they do, and it's a whole cover. Nice. They're Unplugged. I'm sorry, Lake of Fire. Just amazing. Ooh, VH1. Fuck yeah. What was that one you called in? From MTV. What?
01:14:15
Speaker
What was that one you can call in and pay 99 cents over the phone and and you get to request a music video? It was popular when I was... No, no, it was a different channel. It was, no, it wasn't on MTV and it wasn't, it was something box.
01:14:31
Speaker
yeah It was a whole different channel. I ran into it when I was stationed in Utah. And I was able to sit there and call in and and request ICP fucking music videos. It was pissing people off.
01:14:46
Speaker
Take that, Hell yeah. Somebody doesn he looked at it. I got to look that I have to look that up later. yeah I remember one of the cool shows on VH1 was pop-up video.
01:15:00
Speaker
Mm-hmm. You got like the little little behind the scenes info about like the music video or the artist or the album or the what the the song. be like Did you know that Michael Jackson wrote this song while he was showering upside down with his pet monkey?
01:15:16
Speaker
yeah like Like random actually not since yeah little nonsensical facts. um It was called The Box. You had it right. It was called Just The Box.
01:15:29
Speaker
American TV channel, originally known as the Video Jukebox Network, was a music video channel that allowed viewers to request videos via telephone for a fee. It operated from 1985 to 2001, with the format changing in the early that incorporated viewer requests through the phone calls, unlike other music channels like MTV and VH1. Yeah.
01:15:54
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Fuck. I miss days. i will say I will say two artists that I'm very grateful that I got to see, kind of piggyback off of your question there, Blaze, but run it another direction.
01:16:09
Speaker
Pop a video where they... Where are they now? what yeah where are they now? One-hit wonders. Yeah, VH1 had some great, great musicians. VH1, behind the blow.
Meeting Musicians and Festival Reflections
01:16:23
Speaker
But two musicians that I'm very grateful that I got to see on multiple occasions. was Charlie Daniels, Charlie Daniels Band, and David Allen Coe.
01:16:36
Speaker
Cool. They used to come to a club where I worked at here in Columbus quite frequently. Got to party with both of them. Both of them, super nice guys. I didn't necessarily partake in some of their activities, but we would drink together.
01:16:53
Speaker
Actually, I got to go to TJ's one night after the bar closed with David Allen Coe. That was awesome. Because there's a TJ's. Those of you who are not from Ohio probably have no idea what TJ's is.
01:17:06
Speaker
I'm so glad I have no idea what TJ's is. Maybe if you're not from Central Ohio, you'll have no idea what TJ's is. TJ's is a... It's a tit job.
01:17:18
Speaker
It used to be a twenty four seven restaurant. Thanks, COVID. Thanks for fucking that up, COVID. And that was our spot at 2, 3 o'clock in the morning when we would leave the bars, leave the club. We have one here in town. And they've they've got country style food and everything's made from scratch. It's like Granny's Kitchen.
01:17:36
Speaker
And you can get breakfast 24-7. And the best drunk hangover meal on the planet, and I'll stand by this, is a barnyard buster. It is what it is. But, yeah, one night we all, after the bar closed out, we were all drunk and shit-faced. And Dave Alicot is all fuckered up. We were all hungry and walked across the parking lot and went to TJ's.
01:17:56
Speaker
Hung out with David Allen Coe Got to hear stories i Like I said, every time they came They were just amazing guys you know they both but Especially David Allen Coe i mean If you guys know his music Know anything about the guy He was a mess He was a mess With drugs and ah he The guy had a rap sheet Three miles long I'm not was he in?
01:18:22
Speaker
i'm trying to who is he what group was he in yeah but all co David Allen Coz is on me by my name. He must be country. Yeah, he's like a country outlaw. He's never called me by my name. That's the song you know him for.
01:18:40
Speaker
He's got couple other songs you might. But he's also got some really dirty songs. I like dirty songs. Okay. ah I like some dirty songs.
01:18:50
Speaker
Maybe you'll like finger fucking salads. Yes, um I like Fingerfuckin' Sally. I mean, maybe you'll like Fingerfuckin' Sally too while you listen to the song. He prefersmate prefers his music from The Box.
01:19:04
Speaker
Yeah. yeah ah um Yeah, he does that he does he does have a couple of rated albums that he has put out. But yeah, he's got, you know, and then ah you know who Charlie Daniels' band is, right? Devil Went Down to Georgia.
01:19:21
Speaker
yeah Yes, I'm familiar with that. Charlie Daniels. Like I said, both super nice guys, great guys, fun to to hang out with. But, man, David Allen Coe could tell you some stories, bro, for days. They all can. Some of the shipping line enough yeah some of the shit that he he's seen and done. and But those are cool experiences, especially being at, like, a club and being security there and then getting to go and meet them and hang out with them. And I was a big fan of both of their music growing up.
01:19:50
Speaker
Growing up, I shouldn't listen to some of their music when I was younger, but nonetheless, I still did. Bad parents. Bad parents. Yes, bad parenting.
01:20:00
Speaker
But Charlie Daniels is an absolute legend in the country music world. So yeah to say that I got to see him perform live multiple times and got to hang out with the guy, it's like, that's one I'm glad I didn't miss out on.
01:20:14
Speaker
And that was a guy that kept going until he was done.
01:20:20
Speaker
But I'm trying to think of some other...
01:20:28
Speaker
Louder Than Life was cool because that checked the band off of my bucket list. That checked Guns N' Roses off of my must-see bucket list that i thought I would never get to see.
01:20:39
Speaker
Let alone see Slash and Axel together again. And i think i think I think it was the original lineup outside of Izzy Strattham.
01:20:51
Speaker
sounds like they were yeah i think it was I think it was the original Guns N' Roses lineup. and that was That was great because i was I've always been a huge Guns N' Roses fan. That was whole reason I went to Louder Than Life.
01:21:03
Speaker
but I'll tell you what, if the opportunity ever presents itself to go back to Louder Than Life, I'm going because that is a cool-ass venue, outdoor venue. Where was it? Louisville or Louisville, whatever.
01:21:15
Speaker
lo low Louisville. It's in Louisville, stuck at Kentucky. i have i have no I have no skin in the game. Yeah. Nobody has any skin in the game unless they're from Louisville.
01:21:28
Speaker
No. By the way, you don't call it Louisville. It's down the road. It's down the road. But I don't claim it. and and it ah And it don't claim me either.
01:21:39
Speaker
Fucking pope i mean louisville Louisville is a little fucking urban jungle. There's like nothing but concrete. And during the summer, it raises 10 degrees. It's fucking nuts. Dude, you're not wrong. You're not wrong.
01:21:53
Speaker
that's why That's why it's violent, dude. Heat will fuck people's heads up. There's a lot of issues. Going to go into that louder than life, i would if the opportunity ever presented itself again, depending upon the lineup, I would go back. it was ah They did it right, man.
01:22:09
Speaker
That's the other thing. When you go to some of these music festivals, they're not done right, man. the The vendors are all fucked up. ah Whether it be the restroom situation is a complete fucking shit show.
01:22:23
Speaker
Do you watch those those shows? think it's on Netflix. They're called Trainwreck. I don't think so. Trainwreck, Woodstock 99. Watch that one. Dude, it's effing amazing. Woodstock 99 was a nightmare.
01:22:37
Speaker
I heard go and people I know went And they left early were like, dude, it was a fucking nightmare. It was that's what i heard crazy violent. And there was molestings happening. i mean, it got nutty in that place for that weekend.
01:22:52
Speaker
And they were not prepared for it at all. It was not a place of peace. new is not now it was not It was not a hippie. It was not the experience. People were crowd surfing and getting like entered on the server it was it was it was a it was a yeah what stock 99 was an absolute shit the way it ended in fire I mean that that was litigated for years festival oh my god and it was ah it was ah it was ah it would yeah woodstock ninety nine was an absolute the way it ended in fire i mean that that was litigated for years
01:23:26
Speaker
who But I will shout out Louisville. They did it right. Vendors were great. Restaurant situation was great. Coming in and out of the gates, you know, that was that's another man. That's a process. It's like it's like going to the airport.
01:23:42
Speaker
if If it's not done right, you're going to standing in line forever. forever Man, they had it. They had everything down to a T out there Louisville. It was great. You got in. You got in quick. you The vendors were fast. And then they had all kinds of booths set up for like local.
01:23:58
Speaker
I wouldn't say everybody was local, but they had like local vendors and artists and stuff like that, which was dope. I actually bought a painting from a guy when I was there.
01:24:09
Speaker
And then the other great thing about music festivals, side stages. Ooh. have You have the main stage that have your big acts, but then you'll have your side stage that has a lot of the local acts or the indie artists, the upcoming artists and stuff like that.
01:24:26
Speaker
And the cool thing about them, it doesn't matter what genre it is, the cool thing about them on the side stages, when they're done, they're in the crowd. They're hanging out. They're meeting the people. They're shooting the shit. They're sitting down eating with you. They're drinking with you. they're That's cool as hell, especially because youre happen to catch a band that you like and you're like or you know like me with blacktop mojo i can see them at a festival and and then afterwards they would just be hanging out with the crowd and you could meet these guys and talk to them and stuff like that probably not anymore because they're getting pretty big but you know i don't know that i yeah i don't i don't know that but but nonetheless i think that's another fun experience about music festivals uh even if you go like
01:25:10
Speaker
Vans Warped Tour or what was that Family Values Tour with like corn and stained and Limp Bizkit. Was it Marilyn Manson? Marilyn Manson?
01:25:22
Speaker
No, i I thought it had something to do with corn and Limp Bizkit.
Festival Chaos and Organization
01:25:28
Speaker
They were like always there. i am So imagine imagine you did you want to go to a break real quick? I'm sorry.
01:25:40
Speaker
Uh, we can, we can just keep. then Okay. Okay. I was going to tell, uh, was looking, tell, ICP concert story. So get, uh, this is prior to me being married. So I'm like in my young twenties and, um, young and dumb, stupid.
01:25:59
Speaker
And at that phase, I was a huge ICP fan, face paint and all. And, um, I get back from deployment from Saudi Arabia, and I take leave, and I come home to Kentucky to visit my folks.
01:26:16
Speaker
And and I'm sitting there. i i find i'm sitting there scrolling. scroll What was I scrolling? We had internet then, but not cell phones.
01:26:29
Speaker
Did we have cell phones? This was in early two thousand Anyway, somehow I found out there was an ICP concert down the road in Shepherdsville.
01:26:41
Speaker
And I was like, fucking dope. I get to go see an ICP concert. I just happened to come home on leave. You know, coincidentally. So I'm like, oh, so we run out and find fucking face paint. So I fucking ran out somewhere found face paint.
01:26:57
Speaker
yeah And so I'm driving down the road. Shepherdsville, I've never been to. It's a very redneck rural area. Sounds like it just by the name. Yeah.
01:27:08
Speaker
yeah yeah So the first thing I do is when I pull into town is I want to stop and get some cash out the ATM machine. I'll pull into the Chevron station as I get into town.
01:27:20
Speaker
Got kicked the fuck out.
01:27:23
Speaker
Just for the face paint. Nobody liked the fact that all these ICP fans are coming into their town. So we finally get there. Through the local economy.
01:27:35
Speaker
yeah Right? yeah Exactly. That's what I was pissed off about. I was about to spend money and all that. painted weirdos Yeah, exactly. and it yeah Anyway, so i get I get to the concert place and we're all sitting out line and shit waiting, wait, wait, wait.
01:27:54
Speaker
Well, it this this part was found out later, but the local sheriff department actually called it a bomb threat. Shut the police's up. And that's the concert where we all got pissed off and tore the stage and shit down.
01:28:10
Speaker
Allegedly. Allegedly. all Allegedly, yeah. Allegedly. I like how he said we, not they. He allegedly participated.
01:28:22
Speaker
and was in my young 20s. I think the statute of limitations... yeah don't know what the I don't know what to statute. so That's like how some of you guys up at the Oz Fest where i you know but at the end they announced that Ozzy wasn't going to perform because he was sick or something was going on and the fans lost their mind. It was like, yep, time for this guy to skedaddle.
01:28:42
Speaker
I'm out the door. Oh, no. I i participate. I participate. I shouldn't have. I was active duty in the military. If I would have got caught, I would have been lot of shit. But I didn't care.
01:28:54
Speaker
i let the you know i was I was part of the crowd. I was pissed off too because I was already treated like Mob mentality. I did because I was already treated like shit at the Chevron station. You're absolutely right. I fell into mob mentality. yeah absolutely 100% right.
01:29:09
Speaker
You're going to shoot the hell, Chevron. yeah but Oh, sorry. Sorry. What up, What up, Wally? what have ah what while ah um yeah actually brett Back to his regret question.
01:29:24
Speaker
I thought back. I had a chance. This before I knew the music and before I knew who Primus was. I had a chance to see Primus for free. And I skipped it because I didn't recognize who it was. And man, in retrospect, I love fucking Primus. They're awesome.
01:29:41
Speaker
And I could have went and saw for free. a it was writing on it was like right when My Name is Mud was coming out and hitting yeah but I had a chance to go see Gwar, but I didn't know who the fuck they were.
01:29:53
Speaker
And of course it wasn't. Yeah, i I am the type of guy.
Concert Costs and Tattoo Culture
01:29:59
Speaker
i'm It's very rare that I'm going turn down free concert tickets. I just saw Metallica. So real quick, Family Values is Korn's Since 1998, I was going to give you that, but forgot about it. um yeah, yeah. Yeah, I looked at it But speaking of Metallica, supposedly there's rumors circling. There's some money-hungry sons of bitches, too.
01:30:23
Speaker
Fuck you. But supposedly they're going to be doing a residence in Vegas at the Sphere.
01:30:32
Speaker
What's that? The Sphere? No. Korn at the Sphere? No, no. Metallica. Oh, Metallica. no fuck it's what what A residency is basically where you are contracted for. It's exclusive and they go out nightly. They play pretty much the same show over and over again.
01:30:50
Speaker
yeah you You play there every night. Your stage is already set up so they have zero to no cost to do it, really. That's what a residency is.
01:31:01
Speaker
I mean, I'm not the biggest Metallica fan in the world. I like their older stuff. I'm one of those guys. I like their older stuff. um i think i would go see them at the sphere i think that would be a cool show however knowing that it's metallica it's probably going to cost you 500 to get in just to stand in the parking lot of the sphere where they're performing so that's kind of a and and i and i say that because uh when i went to louder than life i bought my tickets for four days
01:31:34
Speaker
For four days for Louder Than Life. And this has been six years ago, seven years ago, something like that. um I think I got my tickets for like 400 bucks. and and And it was Guns N' Roses, Ice Cube was there, was Rob Zombie, Slipknot. There were some big fucking names.
01:31:55
Speaker
The very next year, Metallica was headlining. ah Saturday and Sunday. like $400, mind you, four-day but four day The next year, there were some other bands that I wanted to see that were going to be there. And I was like, I'll go see Metallica.
01:32:11
Speaker
It would have cost me like $1,500. Whoa. wow Just because Metallica was there. That's, you know, that shit, it ruins, ruins concerts.
01:32:24
Speaker
i And I'm not going to blame this entirely all on the artists. Sometimes it is. Sometimes it's out of their hands. um because I know, get it, they have to put food on the table at least.
01:32:39
Speaker
But some of them are outrageous. i' the bill one Yeah, yeah. yeah there there's There's... this this This isn't... This this is this is ah on a spectrum for sure.
01:32:50
Speaker
But um I remember, like, I don't know, a little over um about a decade and a half ago, like going to a concert wasn't a fucking...
01:33:04
Speaker
It wasn't breaking the bank. It wasn't, it wasn't, it was just like, it was like going to the movies. Yeah. and it was Hey, concerts in town. Oh, that was like maybe 10 to 20 bucks a ticket. It depends on the concert. And my average was roughly 40, 45 bucks. Yeah.
01:33:20
Speaker
yeah Yeah. I mean, yeah, if it was a bigger, bigger one, but now, I mean, 40, 50 bucks is like a local one, you know?
01:33:30
Speaker
It's fucking nuts. The price of concerts. Yeah. anyway I didn't want, I didn't want to go on a tangent. economically speaking I know, and know I'm like first world country fucking crying over here. So yeah. and i At the end of the day there, there, you know, ticket prices do go up. There's inflation. There's, you know, I mean, I think, I think when I was looking at going to, uh, ink this, I was, I wanted to go to ink this year and, uh,
01:33:55
Speaker
For the four days it was going to cost, for just for me, just for one ticket, it was going to cost like $800, which I totally would have spent with ease. you know I have no problem dropping that kind of money for four-day event.
01:34:09
Speaker
Yeah. You know what mean? Because you've got to look at the lineup and look at the and the amount of bands that are performing and and everything else that's going on there. You know, the other extracurricular ah activities they have, like at Inc., like I said, with the tattooing and stuff like that.
01:34:25
Speaker
Yeah. You know, obviously you've got to pay for your tattoos, but nonetheless. But I've heard now, I've never been there now, I've heard that, like, The tattoo artists that are there, they're not charging you a ridiculous amount of money, you know, like, you know, compared to if you go into the shop and get it done.
01:34:42
Speaker
I have heard stories that some of them have, like, they are running discounted rates and cheaper prices for it for tattoos. So, I mean, that's that's but's pretty cool on the artist's part because at the end of the day, you've got 20,000 fucking people or however many people that are there for, as you know, people are getting tattoos.
01:35:00
Speaker
Well, for one, they're probably getting paid to be there. Well, maybe not. Some of these bigger named artists, tattoo artists, these ones that are like published and well-known and stuff like that, I'm sure they're getting paid.
01:35:16
Speaker
But also, you got figure, say you say you do those flash sales and you're doing them at $20 a pop and you tattoo 1,000 people in four days. That's a lot of money in your pocket.
01:35:28
Speaker
Yeah.
01:35:30
Speaker
And I'm sure you're doing more than that. I mean, I can only imagine what the line is for those flash tattoos because they take like 10 minutes. You know, they're you're you're in the chair and you're done before you know.
01:35:43
Speaker
Not the most tentative spot to get a tat. I'm not sure I'm lying. Well, that's what I said at the beginning of the show. That's that's exactly what I'm saying. That poor tattoo artist said, again, I'm on my high horse and I'm on my pedestal. But that poor tattoo artist has got to deal with a bunch of drunk, sweaty, smelly, just...
01:35:58
Speaker
It's just degenerates. Technically, you're not supposed to. By law, you're not supposed to get a tattoo while while having alcohol. But... And hey, it's everything. Everybody everybody turns turns the other cheek. Is that just a tattoo taboo? because It's all this law. I i believe police is right. I believe it's law. yeah You're not supposed to get tatted while you're drunk. i mean However...
01:36:26
Speaker
ah much like buying fireworks in the state of Ohio, if you sign a waiver that says you won't set these fireworks off and within the state lines, then they're fine. They don't care. But my first tattoo, the guy just had me sign a waiver that said I was, and I was drunk.
01:36:40
Speaker
ah I fell asleep in the chair. and he just said, here, sign this waiver that you're sober. And I'm like, all right, clearly, you know, whatever. But I'm sure some artists don't, you know, they're going to be like, yeah, whatever. We don't fucking care.
01:36:56
Speaker
It is 5 to 10. It is 8. It is 5 to 10. I just noticed the time. ah like How late where did you want to go tonight? I can't go much later than 5 to 10. I was going to we're only at the 137 mark.
01:37:12
Speaker
The only law I can find for Ohio, mind you, for Ohio, no individual under 18 can get a tattoo without parental consent, and they have to be there while it's happening. ah So maybe maybe it's just...
01:37:24
Speaker
ah of the place Yeah, because you bleed a lot, basically. Yeah. yeah maybe it's ah Maybe it's a preference on the tattoo because it makes them giving a tattoo harder for them, which I could see that.
01:37:38
Speaker
i know when i I know when I was getting my arms done, my my guy Dustin, was supposed to do it on a Wednesday, and he was like, man, I got to reschedule. It's my mom's birthday. I was like, okay, cool. You know, whatever. Not that big a deal.
01:37:53
Speaker
And he did it on Sunday. And was like, well, we all know what happens on Saturday nights around here. ah So I went and he said, yeah, he started tattooing my arm and he got about a half hour. and He said, were you drinking last night? I said, you already know I was drinking last night. Why do you ask me dumb questions?
01:38:11
Speaker
He's like, yeah, I could tell because I was bleeding like a stuck pig, man. I was bleeding like a motherfucker. I was like, I mean, I was like, if if you if you need to stop and we need to reschedule. He's like, no, man. He's like, i don't fucking care.
01:38:23
Speaker
He's like, you're just you're just bloody. And i was like, oh, well, fucking care if you don't fucking care. I was like, what are we afraid that I'm going to get ink poisoning?
01:38:33
Speaker
You know, like, what are we worried about? um've never I've never been drunk getting getting a tattoo. I've been stoned. Yeah, I've never been drunk. I mean, of course, well, that's a lie. I was drunk when I got my very first one, but that was such a bullshit thing.
01:38:49
Speaker
tattoo, but but when I got my arms done, I i didn't, you know, ah other than being slightly hungover when I went out on Sunday, but I don't want to be drunk when I get tattoos because I want to, I don't know, it's is that experience thing. It's like music for me.
01:39:05
Speaker
I want to, like, I don't, anymore when I go to concerts, I don't get really ah that drunk. Me either. I will say Jason Audina got pretty fucked up.
01:39:17
Speaker
got driveway
Transportation Convenience and Unique Concerts
01:39:19
Speaker
I'm too old to camp, man. i don't camp on the fucking ground anymore. know Somebody got to stay sober. If I got sued, I'm good. san knowa That last show I was at, my concert concert was ah Three Nights of Fish at no noble Noblesville, Indiana.
01:39:36
Speaker
I can't even remember the name the... Shit. Why can I not remember the name of the place? Not important. It's Noblesville, Indiana. Huge place. Deer Creek. Deer Creek. And I had a head full of acid, i five, six hits, and Sue drove us all home.
01:39:50
Speaker
That was great. Yeah. i'm I'm big on, especially now, which is great. I wish we had this back back when I was younger. Uber. When I go to concerts. Even if I'm not.
01:40:05
Speaker
Door Uber out of all those hundreds of people, thousands thousands of people leaving. And an Uber showing up. out that That would be a fucking nightmare. Yeah. you know you know what's They have special lanes and shit for the Uber driver. So you don't really... Yeah, like they they pull... so like At nation and Nationwide, they pull up right outside of Nationwide or wherever you're having them.
01:40:25
Speaker
They pull right up front, outside, away from the parking garages and shit. Jump in your Uber and you... Right down the road, you buzz down the road. You might get caught in a little bit of traffic depending upon where you're going. And I'm also a big one about hotels. I'm not going home after a concert.
01:40:39
Speaker
I'm staying in a hotel. Especially if i have to drive. i There was places in some communities used to have a a stay safe drive program where it was a community ran thing.
01:40:54
Speaker
yeah Military bases had one. It was a volunteer standby rotation. I volunteered sometimes to be on standby. If somebody was drunk at a bar or at a concert and oops, they can't drive, it was a totally free ride.
01:41:11
Speaker
I didn't go pick you up, drop you off. There's a couple places here in town. West Church Social does that because West Church Social does a lot of live music. And like holiday weekends or whatever, they'll either do the community thing where people will volunteer from the community or they they also have a deal with Uber and Lyft and whatnot where if you're too drunk to drive home, your ride is free. yeah sure That's I would think is...
01:41:37
Speaker
drunk to drive Yeah, I mean, I think that's a great idea. like Like I said, but I'm the type of person, like, when I went to Louder Than Life, I planned on drinking there. It was just, dude, it was too fucking hot, man.
01:41:50
Speaker
i i didn't I didn't drink until I got back to my hotel. you Now, you had brought up a church. Have you guys ever went to a concert at a church?
01:42:01
Speaker
Well, this isn't an actual church. or is The name of the bar is West Church Social. No, no, that's fine. No, yeah no let's that's fine. break you said you said church, and we're talking about concerts and stuff. That made me think of a ah a free con rock concert I went to in Guam.
01:42:17
Speaker
um and it And I wanted to get back on the concert I this kind of funny ah from my perspective. So at this time at this time in my life, I was non-believer.
01:42:30
Speaker
ah So I was stationed in Guam. I get home from work one day and see this flyer hanging on my door. And I just grabbed it. i'm like It said free rock concert.
01:42:42
Speaker
I'm like, ah fuck it, I'm bored. I go to a free rock concert. I didn't read anything else but the address. so So at this time also my life, I was a cigarette smoker.
01:42:55
Speaker
So I pull up to this place and I'm walking up and they have These long tables set up with coffee and stuff. Was it coffee? Coffee.
01:43:06
Speaker
It was coffee. And um it was at night. And and i by this time, I realized, oh, shit, this is a fucking church. What the fuck have I got?
01:43:19
Speaker
And, well, that's a funny place to freeze, Josh. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
01:43:27
Speaker
If somebody could screenshot that and send that to our social media, we will for be forever grateful. so So ah I walk up. I'm like, sure, I'll have some coffee.
01:43:42
Speaker
So I'm um um god um there in Guam. I'm bored. and Anyway, so
01:43:51
Speaker
yeah I go up to get some coffee. I'm like, I'm curious. How is this rock concert? Because this time, I'm still like not open-minded to it, because I already think the whole thing is whatever.
01:44:05
Speaker
But I'm still curious to see how people practice their make-believe. And um so I decided stay.
01:44:18
Speaker
and I go up and I ask for a cup of coffee. i was like, oh, by the way, where's the smoking area? Apparently, this Christian sect does not... like cigarette smoking.
01:44:29
Speaker
Because I got... like No, I got... They all gave me this puzzled look like, what are you talking about? That's bad. And I'm like, wait, how do you just randomly put fucking advertisements on on doors and then fucking side-eye somebody when somebody shows up and they smoke a cigarette? Anyway, so... Right? i want I walk off the property and I go have a fucking cigarette, whatever, with my fucking cup of coffee all by myself, fucking ostracizing Anyway, so ah I walked back. For some reason i
01:45:05
Speaker
how dare the swim for some reason, I still had the audacity to be like, I'm sticking with this. So I go in. And I'm sitting there.
01:45:16
Speaker
People start coming in. and They're sitting down. And then some music starts playing. Just like regular like weird gospel music. I don't know what it should do.
01:45:26
Speaker
but a not not weird gospel music is. Yeah, the what is what is not weird? can they And they get up and they start getting up and they start kind of moving around like they were having seizures and speaking in tongues. They were holy ghosted. think it's called Pentecostal. Pentecostal is some shit.
01:45:51
Speaker
Anyway. When did the stinks come out? Did they drink Black Flag? i never heard and never heard one rock song at that moment. I like found the closest exit and got the fuck out of there.
01:46:09
Speaker
ah Rock concert, guys. Invite the devil into our house and then worship him away. oh my. Jesus still almost had me that day. ah had You know, if they didn't if they wouldn't start to speed like go all weird on me, I would have stayed and probably listened to one song.
01:46:34
Speaker
Would have left after that. But, like, you invite people, you don't do that stuff in front of them. Yeah.
01:46:45
Speaker
Like ease him in. him into the weird. Oh, hey, there's a new guy. There's a new guy here. Hold the speaking in tongues and seizures for week two.
01:46:56
Speaker
You don't finger glass the new guy. Let him get a couple weeks in. Get little comfy first. And then, shh, just let it happen.
01:47:07
Speaker
It'll all be over soon. I would have loved to be ah as this is all. my Show is on the doll where Jesus I will say we had a pretty popular Christian concert concert venue here and and here in Columbus years ago. And I did see two pretty cool concerts there.
01:47:36
Speaker
Amy Grant. No, Jars of Clay. Well, yeah, I think I did see Carmen there. Jars of Clay and well, there was that other guy, Curtis Franklin. curt Yeah, like that that black guy that it was huge in the Christian music world.
01:47:54
Speaker
ah But come on, boy, you know what you're talking Because P.O.D. was originally a Christian band. Beyonce? Yes, Beyonce.
01:48:07
Speaker
You couldn't give me a free ticket to that goofy bitches concert. in hollywood Hey, you know what? i'm i think I think what she's did is awesome, by the way. Anyway, but say we're we're not we're not going to go down that argument right now.
01:48:24
Speaker
ah Don't get me started on Beyonce. Don't get me started. Don't get me started. No.
01:48:34
Speaker
now um No, guys, you know, you know we we all, hopefully you guys have been able to get out there and see concerts, maybe go on to your own music festivals.
Future Festival Ideas and Community Interaction
01:48:48
Speaker
If not, man, you're never too old. Go and enjoy some music. You don't have to go and party and drink. You can get on your high horse like I do and sit back and stay out at Gin Pop and just enjoy the music.
01:49:00
Speaker
And look to jump on it. ask yeah I used to be up in the pavilion like as close as possible. wanted to be up there. you know Nowadays, I'm out by the families and shit. yeah and who know i was oh I wanted to say this earlier. I was listening to you guys as I was on the way home.
01:49:17
Speaker
If it's indoors, it's not a festival. Fuck that. Outdoor festivals are festivals. Yes. Yes. I agree. You said something about an indoor thing. They were calling it a festival, but no, it's indoors. i was like ya yeah, yeah, yeah. If it's indoors, it's just several bands in one location.
01:49:32
Speaker
That's not a festival. No, I agree. You sweat there. You stink there. That's a festival. Yes. You throw tortillas there. Again, part of me not hanging out with Jen Pop, I'm not camping with you fuckers. I'm going back to my air-conditioned hotel. Well, that's where I'm at now. I'm too old for that.
01:49:50
Speaker
I'm not going to pretend that I'm homeless anymore. Yeah, I'm going to go hang out with the rest of the people that feel the same way I feel. We're not hanging out with Jen and Papa. We'll hang out with each other back at the hotel because that's what we did at Louder Than Life.
01:50:00
Speaker
We would come back every night and everybody in my hotel was there for Louder Than Life. And then we all get together and yeah, we'd all get together and drink and do whatever they did. We'd just hang out and have a good time.
01:50:12
Speaker
Listen to even more music. and And there was a ring smoke around our hotel, dude. I mean, everybody got back from the show. we were just passing Scooby-Doobs left and right in the center. yeah they The cops were super cool and like the hotel, like people working in the hotel, they were, as long as we weren't tearing shit up or they're like, yeah, do what you guys do, man. You're having a good time. You're not hurting anything. You're not bothering anybody because everybody in the hotel is there for the same fucking reason.
01:50:37
Speaker
So, you know, like go have fun, man. But, um, yeah, no I agree. Uh, you know, music festivals and stuff like that. That's, that's an outdoor venue. That's a summertime thing. You know, not only that, but like blaze and I were talking earlier in the show, um,
01:50:51
Speaker
The great thing about the the music festivals and the outdoor venues is you don't have to stay in your seat the entire time. You can wander around. You can go get something to eat. Go get a drink. Go hang out with your friends. You're still going to enjoy the music.
01:51:05
Speaker
You're still going able to hear the music and enjoy it and have a good time. I think that's part of that that that festival experience, is being able The energy exchange, the crowd energy, the band energy, it's just... There's no denying it.
01:51:17
Speaker
There's nothing like a live music experience, live anything experience. Watching it on TV is one thing. Being there is completely something different.
01:51:27
Speaker
Just like stand-up. Go to a show. Go to a live comedy show. get out ah socialized Get out and get some fresh air, motherfuckers. Smell the grass. Smell the sky and look at the grass. New Year's Eve. but we need to We need to start working on that because New Year's Eve is not too far away. You got to let me know when you're not to be working one weekend. I'll come down.
01:51:51
Speaker
I don't work on weekends. Your kids, I mean. oh yeah Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. yeah yeah I mean, I really need to get down there Friday. I'd come back Saturday or maybe do the show Saturday and come back Sunday. don't know.
01:52:04
Speaker
i don't fucking care. I know you don't. Crash on the couch. good Will do. That's the plan. Yeah, or crash on cash. I'll arm wrestle Blaze for the couch. If you get Blaze enough craft beer and edibles and weed, he'll die on the love seat. He's going to pitch a tent on your patio.
01:52:25
Speaker
So, now, if you guys haven't yet, or if you have, feel free to hit us up on social media and share some of your share some of your concert stories or your festival stories. I would love to do a little thing. I would love to do like like a segment on like on this show or some of the other shows where we read viewer messages or or comments or something like if if they in in this particular situation and share some ah concert stories or festival stories. you know we've all We've all been there.
01:52:55
Speaker
And if you haven't, go see some. I was going to say the same thing. Michael beat me to it. comedy Live comedy, yeah, it's good on television. You know watch the specials, it's good. But to go experience it in person and and be a part of that crowd and and to see that energy and feel that energy, it's so totally different. and support And share us out to your friends so one day we're big enough, you will all three of us will be on stage.
