"It's my favorite part of the song, just that. You're not pro doors, usually. I'm not put doors. Till this guy comes in and starts ruining it. Yeah. This guy. This guy starts doing poetry over this jam. We're enjoying a nice organ jam. And then Jim Morrison wants to take off his pants. He was the lizard king. That was their first album, right? Jim Morrison wants to take care of those things. And then I forgot that he took off his pants in New Haven, Connecticut. Yeah, a lot of bars and restaurants in New Haven, Connecticut. You could find the mugshot of Jim Jim Morrison. Yeah. Could you imagine being in a band where you're just not quite sure if that guy's going to show up? And if he does, what's going to happen every single night? There's things like Alice Cooper. Alice Cooper, you know, drank a lot of beer. But he got on stage and he was a great performer.

"Alice Cooper band comes out what, 69, they do a couple of albums, and then they hit it with love it to death, right? In 71, that had 18 on it. And had another song on it. I caught in a dream, I think, was another one. So that had two good songs on it. You know what I love about the Alice Cooper story is such an organic classic tale of the 60s, you know, those boys were all out in Arizona and obviously inspired by The Beatles playing on The Ed Sullivan Show. And they did a talent show with their local school and they, instead of calling themselves The Beatles, they call themselves the earwigs. It only one of the guys Glenn buckson who ended up being the lead guitar player for Alice Cooper. Could actually play an instrument. The rest of them were miming, but they won the contest, and they got such a reaction from the crowd. That they were inspired to, okay, let's see what we can do with this. And they went to a local pawn shop and they got instruments, even though none of them knew how to play. And they figured it out. And little by little, you know, most of those original, you know, folks that were in the band. They got weeded out because, you know, they weren't professional musicians. They were making it up as they were going along. That was kind of the origins. Don't be putting down the don't put down the Ramones. I put them down. I just did. Don't put down the Ramones, man. What? What? What are you going to? What? They're the forefathers of most of the shit we listen to. Don't give them that much credit. They deserve a lot of credit dipshit. Three chord geniuses. Oh my God. They're moron. So then they come out with a killer in 71, school's out one of the greatest album covers ever that one of the, if anyone in the world has the insert that came with it, the plastic panties that when you open the desk draw because you lift up part of the fold and it's like books and stuff in there. And they had slipped in some plastic like really cheap like panties in there. I don't know if anybody I've never seen anyone that had those or had they album that added still in it. I saw it in a record store a couple of years ago and the guy was, it wasn't crazy money. It was under a hundred bucks. Yeah, yeah. And I was tempted to buy it just because, you know, for the million yard sales that I used to go to looking for records. A couple of hundred times that I've saw schools out. Not once did I see the panties in there? No. You'll find big bamboo. I have like two copies with the rolling paper in it, which is kind of just like my high school he has the panties eluded me. I couldn't get my ads on those things. Just never got to see them. My tiny dance had never got to dance with a girl. So that music relish guys, you can have them. They appreciate my humor. Thank you very much. I appreciate it too. So then they come out, I had the 8 Jack $1 billion babies, great fucking album, right? That's now they're getting a little heavy. And then muscle love came out in 73. Again, he put out two hours. I think we talked about this when we had an episode on multiple bands putting out year after year after year. Are we always seem to talk about it right back then? So they had two albums, 73 muscle love was a song and teenage lament 74, which made it onto the greatest hits album. Right? To me, to me, and I'll get to that in a minute, probably in my book, top three top 5 top 5, there's somebody else maybe top ten. Greatest, greatest hits albums. That is a lot of good stuff on there. Fucking badass greatest hits album. And so then he goes solo. I'm Alice Cooper now. I am Alice, right? Changed his name, everything, right? And he comes out and welcome to my nightmare. Great fucking album. Concept album. Had a whole stage show. He came on like he'd be like doing some variety show that Tom Joe, whatever, and have the big spider in the background. He put on the whole, but he did like a cool stage though, not like a sticks, like fucking lame ass beta boy fucking shell. And I don't care if people ask me. You know, Alice Cooper had fucking heads getting cut off and shit like that. Real fucking alpha male shit, right? Testosterone driven, right? And with that, he comes out with only women bleed, which is a fucking good song. That was his ballad. He killed it with that. He killed it. You know, I don't think you hear that enough on the radio to tell you the truth. It's definitely, it's an underplayed song. And it shouldn't be because it's a very, very good song. Are you being flagged down? No, no. You're looking for somebody. No, I'm just thinking, man. So now I agree with you. I think that that song is fantastic. Yeah, it is, it is. And he was like, damn, this is a whole different side that I was Cooper, right? And then Alice Cooper goes to hell comes out in 76, a year later, like they were used to doing. And he has a song in there called. I never cry. I don't know if you've ever heard that song, but you gotta hear it once to just go, what the fuck? Now what he was doing was pretty obvious. Got a lot of attention got it a lot of made a lot of money off only women bleed, sold a lot of albums because of that. So he's like, I'm gonna do another ballad. And he does this, I never cry, and it's like, oh fuck, it should be, I never should have made this song. Yeah, but you know, you know, with that came from, you know, look, look, I have no doubt that Alice Cooper was complicit in putting that song on. But that is absolutely the puppet masters of the record company listening to that that next record and saying, wait a minute. Only women bleed cut. You need your ballot. I'm a fucking drill behind you. Is that a painting of it? A hedge a drill. A black and Becca? Are they sponsoring the show now? Look at that. Jack painted, look at that. Hey, I like that with the drippy. That's good. I like that touch, yeah. Kind of cool. Yeah, it is. That is. I'm not going to pay $800 for it, but it's fucking I like it. I like it. I'll give it to you for $400 and two Alice Cooper records. But they better be some panties in there or no deal. I want those plastic bags. So then, okay, okay, maybe he's a product of that, right? But, you know, I mean, who knows whether he actually has, but I don't miss that. I can jump off the show right now. I'll just call fucking Lou. Get the notebook ready low. Okay, getting a little golf cart. You coming out of the bullpen brother. Get that note for him.

If not all of his movies, but, you know, lock stock and two smoking barrels in hilarious. And the gentleman, but in snatch, what about the use of golden brown by the stranglers? Is just perfect in that particular scene. Yeah. I don't remember that, but I'll take you. I'll take your word for it. You know the song though, right? I'm not sure if I do. I'm sorry I do. God. Sure, I do. All right. I have to find it for a second. You know, Lou colicchio came up with a great one last week. We would talk about Donovan. The song, Atlantis. Yeah, we were talking about it. And he says, that's in the scene. I think it was a scene where they beat up Billy Batson in the bar room. And that's playing in the background.

He was rock and roll too many people you know. That's all right mama. Jailhouse rock blues shoes. But then you know he went in the army. He came out there. Sort of vegas elvis and later elvis. But johnny started off as this rockabilly icon the same place that elvis starting sense studios sam phillips but at the end of his career. Sort of rick rubin. A great producer comes along. Says johnny we gotta get. You stripped down in front room with your guitar and just start recording and then rubens bringing songs like from depeche mode nine inch nails. You know bano others it. Tom petty and the heartbreakers. Obviously she had never heard before probably sons never heard before and it can reintroduce them to new generation and in many ways he ended the strong as they started. Yup the other cool thing about him. He'd go to prison. Yeah he would and do an album for all those guys of those guys in prison johnny cash. That's right we can trust him. Yeah isn't that something.

Loveless and me we go up and they check you for guns and you're sitting there talking and talking and then he comes. He comes in the room and he is the room. I mean he's elvis. This is black leather. Good looking handsome elvis. Any walks in and says hi and it goes amo snake ancient. Yeah he's a makeup and all that stuff dig that man. That's cool that's cool. You know and he says you from detroit right. Yeah them so. I go in with him to the kitchen. Opens up a door hands me a loaded smith and wesson thirty eight and i go. I start taking the bullets out.

I fought all three of them. He says broke the guys collarbone right here. He says that swung around eastern Broke the guy's wrist here. I'm sitting there going. This is your most prized possession. Realizing now that that was his only contact with the outside world was that fight. He colonel wouldn't let him go left right up down. He couldn't go to a movie he couldn't go play pool. He couldn't go to a bar because that was his little life was in that he could have anything. You want it in that room or graceland. But he couldn't late so right then. I realized if anybody puts you in a mansion or no matter what and gives you anything you want. You'll find a way to kill yourself because it's not natural to be held up in a place like that. And he did eight himself to death drug himself to death and he died early. And that's happened is so many michael jackson who ended up marrying elvis honor.

Yeah we started About twenty years ago and trying to find a place for kids to go where they could an alternative to. What's on the street. Basically and i watched a couple of sixteen year old kids do a drug deal on the corner. And i went home sick kid. Not knowing might be great guitar or is it. That other kid might be a drummer and it just struck me right then. Why don't we open that. Given that all alternative to go there and it ended up here. That's incredible in your. And i know you're impacted a lot of young people here and and and they come in and they wonder what's the cats but you're just doing something for your communities that but it's all christian you know we're all christian guys.

I mentioned to a young person the other day. I'm gonna talk with alex kuban. These did didn't he by a head up a bad. i said. i think that's ozzy osborne i said. I do know. There's a story with allison chicken though but that's sort of maybe a little mythological right back then. There was no internet so everything was word of mouth. Everything was urban legend and they wanted alice to be that more than anything. I think they were looking for a villain. And i was more than happy to be captain. Hook jr everybody's peter pan and so the villain always gets all the good lines. And so i was built not to be the hero but the villain but the villain also has to have a sense of humor behind or does it work and everything is based on. How good is the music. You cannot put the icing on the cake without the cake. A six hour rehearsal is five hours on the music one hour on the theater so i mean the band. We're up against led zeppelin. We're up against like you said the who the yardbirds those guys and you had to be as good as they were. You know did you. Was it a big moment in your life.

"It's just he's like the hell in the past. Probably it'd be a big fight with me and him but we were kind of liberating moment where he was like. You know go ahead just do it. I don't know what the hell you're talking about. But just to go for it and everything. I saw picture of stuff the dancers in her. And i knew it was gonna be good and always loved tests so it was like let's go well. Yeah i mean you you you know everybody is the the whole band is in on it in a big way. Obviously marie is levitating. And whatever arctic going on there with the smoke and the dancers and all that but the you know the whole band i mean you you you really is. Everybody really embraced it. Chris as far as yourself. Now at this point i imagine there's festivals when it's one hundred and twenty degrees and you're like i gotta put to put this makeup on. I don't wanna do this but but do you for the most part. Is everybody on board with it dude. Everyone's so on board with it. I mean like a bunch of girls no offense but we just the the backup time or guitar player. Randy hiring andy. He'll spin all ready for the show. You know like to make sure his hands like he doesn't like skeletons. She'll make sure they look perfect. Because we grew up loving kiss and motley crue and wasp but all these cool theatrical bands so it's super exciting to have the time to get ready and put on the makeup. Even if it's hot you go find a shower or somebody to watch it off. But it's it's super fun and we all really embraced it once once it started blowing and we started seeing that people really like it you know and it carries the band to a different place. It's been great. Yeah we love it you gotta admit though. There must be times at these fast. Wasn't it's one hundred and twenty and you look at a ban going on stage in jeans and a ripped t shirt and being like damn. I wish i could do. Maybe i won't pay me. You like folded up there twenty three. I'm sweating like oh my god could fall off the thing. The art you mention things that come to mind like i know you know as really and i are very close speaking a kiss. And he's not in the band anymore when he plays he just goes up and however dressed and he's always talks to me about what a what a relief that is and you know a guy a guy that you actually get had guests on one on one of your songs a few years ago rob halford judas priest for for my twenty fifth year in radio which was thirteen years ago. Believe it or not Judas priest played a free private show for me and that's insane to say but it happened york in time so they came out and they they ice guys. I'm just honored you doing this. Don't you don't worry about the show or anything so like eight. So so rob came out in in like just you know jeans and a t-shirt and And then a couple of days later they played the local shed in new jersey and it was in august. And i'm standing on the side of the stage watching and he's in the leather jacket down to his knees in the leather pants. And it's one hundred degrees and he walks over to the middle of the set and he goes to me heady. Give anything to be able to wear what we weren't your party the other night and i was like. Yeah i feel for you pals with like the sweat is dripping off so it is a commitment when you make that move like you guys have done. It is and your shortchanging. But i love ron rabbit. He's such a such an amazing man and we were such an honor to work with him to you and but it is magic when you see him. Come out on that like. I'm sure even the motorcycle. What a pain in the butt and all that stuff doesn't always want but when people see the lesson the motorcycle they go crazy you know so. That's awesome part of it. All but in the band's it didn't do it and that's not part of their gig at all. sometimes. I envy them though. Because i'm like you know. I love that where theatrical and what we've done. But sometimes i just see they could just go out there and be like i'm like ooh look so nice so nice and you know who knows. Maybe we'll shift and not be as theatrical one day to no rules right. Well you chameleons in terms of that. I think it's school to keep people on their toes. So so you never know and maria one other thing for you you know. I'm curious how you feel about where women are in the world of heavy music because from my vantage point being out there so many shows in normal times festivals events. Whatever i think. It's been great to see and i've talked to tell her. Mom sent and lizzy hal about this and lead afford ford and many others that to me. There seems to be great strides. Not only with women being in bands whether they're get tar player drummer front woman. Whatever but also when i see the cruise it used to be like you go to a show if there was a woman on the crew. She was in the wardrobe or makeup department. And that was it now there. You see him as tour managers in every capacity. I think it's wonderful do you. Do you see a lot of walls. Even in the time you've been in the business being broken down. oh absolutely. I think you're one hundred percent right. And from when i started like doing are like office with the crowds. Were like aggressive and chanting. Show us you say. There wasn't a women around all the time. it was very very masculine. I think i've seen a complete shift. There was women then for sure but just not as much. And i've seen a complete shift and all of those departments that you just said and touring people love when they toured with us too because half of more than half our crews are half of our whole as women and it's like so rare hearing like the rock world you come in and like there's still many Women everywhere so it's and we like smells better than normal does But i think but i think that It's happening when worth seeing tour managers all over. That women were seeing in all in all the wage photographers every place. Yeah yeah it's really. It's really cool to see so chris before we have to go. What what can you tell. Fans listening about touring. Because it's you know it seems like now there's places where we're seeing people do. Some shows were starting to see some people route like twenty eight tours through certain states. I know certain states are still a question mark. What what is your game plan. What is the band's game plan to be able to go to shows will be sporadic or do you actually have a tour routed right now you were supposed to go out with black veil brides. I think opening right. Is that still the plan. Yeah like maria had said earlier. We the tour that we had in twenty twenty. Still we've managed to keep it together with those guys. She moved it four times throughout this pandemic and it's now set in the fall. It's everyone's probably game. Ramar side of it is saying one hundred percent it's gonna happen. We've already had offers and stuff for summer shows. And i know a lot of bands were going out in the summer and doing some socially distance type shows and some other stuff but what we're hearing is one hundred percent capacity You know for these shows. And i've also seen a lot of other bands putting up you know announcing the tours which we are also going to be doing in the next couple of weeks It's all together and ready to go and we're super stoked about it and everything i'm hearing is saying it's going to happen so you'll be seeing announcement for tour from us coming up the next couple of weeks. It's a big juicy ones like nine and a half weeks long. Oh wow so you're talking the and when will you start. You're talking the faw. Maria we're talking. Yeah the or chris yeah. It's like late summer early fall. Yeah that seems to be the timetable. Where people feel like shows are going to be able to happen at least to a certain capacity. I think everybody is looking at next year for the really big stuff but certain things that that seems to be the timetable. Even for a couple of festivals like speaking rachael home. I do that every year. They moved out to labor day weekend. And they're saying that's good chance that's going to happen outside and oklahoma so so i think that's been the target timeframe for all for everybody really trying to go out at at that level day but for the same same target and it's it's looking very po more positive than it's a long time so we're crossing our fingers. It's going to be real crowded out there when the flood gates open. Don't you think it is Book into twenty two. We're booking all next year right now because it's going to be like yeah..

"Wanna go. You want me to go. I should have told you which one but guide. Marie you can take it. I can i just honestly with you know some of our were this. The little engine that could is in this moment. We you know. I think when we first started off we didn't really have our sounds yet. We i mean personally. I think we were kind of figuring out who we were as artists which were still always doing. I'm but i mean like we didn't quite think into something like like it yet. And i think that's so there's just like a lot of self discovery of that so we just kept having a truck on and you know once. An album cycle was done. You know you're kind of sitting home and like that's your job and that's your work so we're kind of i guess we gotta do it again and then slowly it just started coming and slowly you know and some of our peers like zoom by us but then we slowly keep going slowly come back up. Don't like hey what's up. you know. so it's gonna a little bit of time. But i think that that's slow and steady builds a strong foundation. So i think that's good. What do you think. Chris always just say. Stay out of that every time you finish an album cycle or finish it album. Everything kind of dies down people still like you like the music but you want to give him something new and fresh to just get. Those fires lit up again and we've been in a constant cycle of finishing album. Just gonna get home for a month. Okay we gotta start writing and one. Let's go and that's just been doing all right. So here's the logical question and marie. You can take this first. I sitting home for a month. You start thinking about writing a record. You've been basically sitting home for over a year now like every other artists. What's been going on as far as writing. Because i've been talking to artists who've written like to record draft two more records in the can that nobody knows about because they've had for the first time in their life had all this time sitting around at home so has there been a lot of stuff done all you know for a potential another record already. They were there is conversations happening right now. Use it being made yes. We've both we had time to finally like build music in our houses. I think we're on the same page as everybody else And we've had time to empower our business and a lot of ways. Learn a lot of the business side that we didn't always typically understand and know really diving into the whole business of whole so. I think we've been working really hard and politics and law i have some. We have some cool collaborations that we're doing right now and we are starting to write new music. Yes so it's definitely happening And i think just all that time went by and everybody's feeling so much right now. I think we're all have so much emotion and so it's the perfect time i think for. All artists would probably be or painters or whoever it is to be expressing themselves because they're filled with all kinds of stuff that's artist dream. They wanna broken heart or some sort of tragedy tragedy same with like poets to like do good art we all have it definitely definitely fuel for the art. It seems it seems like it. I've told a lot of the audience. I said if you have a favorite band and you want new music and been waiting for new music from that ban and you don't get it now or in the next on next six months or so. They've just probably not up for making new music because it's really unless you're doing streaming. It's really all you could do. I mean that's that's really the storm so many musicians found themselves in this really unique position the last year. Because your your home whether it's reconnecting with your family for better or worse depending on your situation or or just Having the time to write and record everybody's navigated this in a different way. Did you guys go down the streaming route. I don't know if i missed it because there's been so many but did you do a livestreamed chris. No you actually talked about a lot. At the beginning we were going back and forth on some ideas and then we just decided. We're such a visual band. And we we want to percents everything in such a way that we just didn't feel like the cubes screen was going to work for in this moment. So we you know we started. Look at other ways to do it. You know content you know we also did have the album that was out and we had a couple of videos come out throughout the break on that so that kind of like helps satiate our need to to stuff for a little bit. But we're now at that point where we gotta be on tour. Things are kicking up. It's been a full year. It's like there's no more waiting around and we don't we don't still don't wanna do a livestream because we know we're going on tour we feel it amore. Gut you know this this fall and the summer fall. Yeah yeah. I mean i think that the streaming stuff has worked for some but i understand you not feeling like it would. It would work for in this moment because having seen the band and anybody that has knows it's it's so much about a vibe and the visual element of it as well as the music that i i don't know although there's been some really cool groundbreaking things that have been done with streaming in terms of senator cory taylor going into the four code orange. Did there's some really cool stuff but it still nothing i. I think it's all unfortunately to me. Just a band aid until you get to the real thing and marie. It sounds like you agree. Oh i agree. I mean they did it the right way like you know if we could have made all those things happen and some people were super high. Risk covid in our in our circle Before the vaccinations were starting and stuff like that so we were so nervous too. You know for us. We're also spread out to have a risk. Everybody kinda get so. It was just so delicate but the people who did do it like the references made they. They did it right so we just figured if we're not going to be able to do it in that way you know. We're trying to connect with the fans and and do it in different ways but some people have done it really amazing. I agree me aware. We're go ahead. i'm sorry go ahead. Oh no i was gonna say. And i'm shy. I'm not to like not. Not i guess a little shy but like the livestreaming just like my instance in my social. I don't really post a lot of live or just like a lot of things myself. So i try to be a little bit more like you know Behind the hind the launch after high. Yes maria was. The was the the game plan for in this moment from the beginning. From when you guys first came together was it always theatrical stuff. Was that something that you had in your mind right from the start. No i think i mean. I probably would have always loved to do that. But it wasn't in my mind in the beginning When we first started you know. Like i said we really just kind of all figuring ourselves out. We decide like super super long songs but some of them really cool. But there's like eight different parts and like so many different things and we weren't A really evolved as like songwriters and you know as far as like the whole visual co. we were just like jamming and like small little bars in our van. We were at that capability or anything like that to do what we started doing. And then before our blood album our whole band kinda fell apart and a bunch of the guys. Quit and our managers are manager. Dropped us and it was so liberating time for the band. It was like okay either. We break up and we're just in our low or we like we've you know or we just like let go be free and re re do anything we ever wanted to do like do or die moment and we did our blood album and that's when everything for our career shifted and iphone liberated visually and krista surrendered to it all when i told him. Hey i'm gonna performing artists to do in with me on stage and start designing the shore..

"Because i am so programmed and used to artists coming on my show because they've got something to promote and i understand it's a record tour stream or something like that so i was under the assumption that there was this new in this moment product and then i realized like oh no. It's basically still the cycle for mother which is about a year old. And i guess that's kinda happen for a lot of artists because you really couldn't do all that much the last year right chris. Yeah we had it all and we were literally getting ready to go to the airport to get on a plane to go start rehearsing for the tour to support mother. That was to come out during the tour and wants to all hit. We were like what are we going to do to release the album you know. Do we not release the album. Do we wait. And we felt like during this time. And everyone's at home like let's give some music out and like you said it turns out now. We're sitting here a year later and the album cycles kinda drawing to a close for for bother we never even got to play it so definitely strange times. You know maria. How do you feel about the whole thing do you. Do you feel like the record that you maybe have to reintroduce the record at some point i mean in this moment has some pretty passionate fans so your core base certainly knows it's there but do you feel like Be because of the lack of touring the lack of promotion opportunities that that maybe gonna have to give it another push at some point. Yeah i mean we. Fortunately when all of this was happening we had a really strong tour. That was like almost sold out. Get ready to happen. And fortunately we were able to keep That tour and the whole package which were moving. We're about to announce It's going to be happening. So fortunately we have this whole tour booked already and we are so excited to be you know getting back out there and and having this all finally happening and i think everything happens for a reason we wanted to release it so people had people needed like we all needed some sort of like something to focus on movies music something to keep our heads out of the tv. We thought like was the zambia pacalypse happening like nobody knew anything so we just wanted to give people something like that and then we were nominated for grammy With our single. So i think it all like trip to be referring right and like it's we're happy did it. And now on this tour. We're getting ready to do whereabouts. Bring out all those songs. It's been a year no one's been able to hear live so i'm excited for people to get that russian. I think it's gonna be shows are going to be like the most insane shows we've ever went to. I think people are gonna be ravenous. You know what's interesting. Last time i saw you play which would have been whenever you played rachael home. Alas because i host that every year. And i remember watching you and you opened with the steve miller cover of fly like an eagle and that's of course the opening track on mother. So you're actually performing that for a while before you recorded it right right. Well that song and we were doing a few other songs so we got. We got to do a few critiques. When i do that when i play the song before we received the al things worked out. You guys get get a little bit out there already and And and i'm you know when we come back we get. We're gonna bring more now now that the whole thing was released and stuff like that though yeah. I thought that was incredibly cool when you did that. And obviously all the theatrics and the way you presented it. I was just like wow i know the old i was like i know this song. I don't know if people in the audience knew the original. This is a really cool version of this song is really different. Take on it but chris. You'd prefer to keep everything under wraps until it's like outright kinda you know i've always been that way. Marie has always been the one to like sony so awesome. We have to play it for people right now. So we're always like kind of like trying to find a balance between now but yeah. I like to hold it back until they heard the album version. Then they get to go be surprised to hear the the library and versus just a you know their first taste of a new song being alive virgin but you know it is what it is now you know. You're he's usually right about it like we've done it before and people just don't understand and or sometimes they love it but you know sometimes they hit or miss but i think i just get excited for a new material after you play the same material you know over and over and over. It's exciting to create like a whole new scene and look and the movement not for new song. I get all excited about it. Well in the case of fly like an eagle. I mean it's a classic song. So i wasn't sure if it was just like something you were doing to set the tone and open the show or if you had actually recorded it and then of course when the record came out on my you guys actually recorded in an open the record with it as well so it made a lot of sense to me at that point You know it's amazing to me when i think about the career in this moment because in roughly thirteen years you guys have released a correct me if i'm wrong. Mother is the seventh record. I believe and that's that's really prolific. I mean that's that's a little more than an album every eighteen months to two years with my bad math that that's pretty amazing. Talk about the the The commitment to continue to be prolific like that and write music and release music. That consistently.

"The funny. You're you're an early adopter you you you set the tone right. You got out ahead of it. Alison i'd never had. I didn't have any of the taste or smell problem. I didn't have any of the congestion on the chest. I was exhausted. I was just. I felt like i had been run over by truck for about three weeks. I felt like that. And i lost my appetite. I couldn't eat. I just had no Tried it all at least fifteen pounds. So i was on the kobe diet and i had a hard time sleeping because what happens. Is you either get really tired or you get speeding. Your brain won't let you go to sleep at night. So i had both of those at the same time and finally that wore off and then i just tired but every day i felt maybe two percent better a little bit better and then not two percent to the point where i finally got back to what i consider normal. But it's a form of pneumonia. So i mean. Pneumonia takes a long time to get back on your feet after pneumonia so it took a good three months before i was ready to go back out and you know get back in the public. Start doing things again. I wouldn't even do zooms. I was just looked like this. You know but charlotte. I had at the same time so at least we could commiserate well. I'm glad you're both okay. And no residual effects linger things. Because you do hear some reaction you second shot you know i did i got i just got it saturday. The second shot and everyone said the second shot was going to be way worse. And i actually prepared even for this radio. Show on monday to have a contingency. If i couldn't do it if i wasn't feeling well because just like the virus itself you hear everything from people who had no real issues too. I was not down for a couple of days. So i shot. I had the sore arm which was way worse on the first shot in the second. You this right. Yeah and then the second shot which i just had. I got it saturday night. Sunday night. I started feeling a little feverish. Achey and tired went to bed. Woke up monday. And ever since i've been fine and back to normal so i really didn't do too bad about twenty four thirty six hours not feeling great but otherwise good and i've had the shingles vaccine and the and the rest and the reaction to that actually was worse than than this for me. But i'm sure you agree. A day or two of discomfort is worth it. If you know you can't get cove it or you can't get shingles or whatever you're trying to vaccinate against what it means is that your system is working if you get the reaction that means that you're immune immune system is is doing what it's supposed to do. I i had my second shot and first of all. I hate shots. I hate needles more than anything else. And i never felt either shop. It was the most painless thing i've ever felt my life and the second shot twelve hours later i went. Oh man this is nothing. I got the chills for about two hours. And i mean i was under about blankets that just for two and then it was got that was a you know i gotta tell you. I know you gotta go. I gotta tell you quick funny story though about the whole thing with the shot so when i went and got the first one and i don't i don't have a big issue with shots or needles. Just get it done. I look away whatever but when it went and got the first one the the woman said okay. You're done and i said well you did it. I didn't even feel anything. And she said to me. She told me funny story. She said you know people were so are so amped up getting the shot that the news coverage on tv has shown when the scene started the camera angles and they were all very dramatic. Like here's this needle and they're zooming in and the people doing it since they knew they were being filmed made a bigger deal out of it and they're like nobody. Nobody even give shots like that. That was just immediate thing because people were the camera was on somebody giving a shot so that the person administering it made it into a bigger deal visually different than anything. It was funny thing about it. Was i was watching the people getting the shot and i didn't even see a grimace. I didn't know what even even that and i went. How are these people not reacting lady getting shot and she did. You feel like what i said. Ma'am i had that big of a wimp. Your aversion to needles. I just thought back to something from about fifteen years ago. We shot a segment of that metal. Show on your stage. I mean you played in new jersey and it's aired in the show but there's a moment in it where you take a giant needle and jammed in my stomach you running across the stage. So maybe that's where your issue with needles came from my fears. I decided if we're gonna do alice cooper show. What is alice most afraid of shots. So we built this gigantic hypodermic needle in. It took three nurses to come out to give me this shot. I said let's just face this thing so yeah that was one of my great horrors life. But while i'm not really don't have a problem with it. you know. Listen it's always a pleasure. I know you gotta go. I always enjoy talking to you. Congratulations on detroit's stories. I hope to see you soon. I hope to see the band soon. Hope to see everybody. Soon that we're back out playing and you guys are out doing your thing. And i thank you for the time.

"To sound like i. There's another guy that guests on this record who's not only not from detroit. He's not even from the us. And i'm curious how larry mullen junior from to ended up playing drums on track. Where larry you know played all the drums on here. Normal brown the last album because bob bob just said he. I've never had a drummer. Ever that asked me to see the lyrics drummers. Just say what is the feel of. The song was pocket here. you know what. What are we going for. Larry would say. Let me see the lyrics. Because that's how he plays. He interprets the lyrics. That's what he does with you too and we went. Yeah okay great. And then bob just said for the song. Larry mullins and i went. Yeah great you know we call them. Honorary detroiters youtube was a was a pub ban. They were a great rock and roll pub band. They get a lot of alice. Cooper songs in the early days in the clubs in ireland. So you know. In fact the some of the shows even now they finished the show with schools out. You know so. It's it's there's a kindred spirit. their larynx great band. Larry just one of those great you can really tell it's him when he's flying he's got a certain style that just totally his and the record closes with a guy when you talk about detroit. There is no way you couldn't include something from him. And that's bob seger and you you you close the record with the seger tune. East side story not not a well-known seeger song. Not one of his head. Certainly. what's the origins of that alice. Well first of all. I was from the east side. I was from east detroit. You know and so. When i saw bob seger on his last tour and he came into play in phoenix. Great i mean. He had everything up there. He had orchestra. Es everything going up and told him. I said you know we have a lot in common. I florida both cross country runners. I didn't know he was across country. Run in school. I said and i'm doing song one of your songs. And he figured i was gonna get out of denver or some real rockford and song and i went doing east side story and he goes what like why and i said well first of all. I love the story. I loved the story line. And i can make that storyline. Come alive a different way than you did. And at the same time you know. I'm from the east side. That's my whole east detroit. This is my omen s with the songs about so it connected with me a whole bunch of ways and then when i listen to the lyrics said okay i've got to make this guy come alive and i've gotta make his girlfriend said no no. Don't go you know what the fact of course the guy gets killed it. It's a great rock and roll story and Button bob had an idea for how to make it different from his version. You know even though stone done. I'm the Doodoo it it was a story line kinda saw you know and i just said yeah. Let's do that. Let's let's do that song. Well i'll tell you it's a. It's a fantastic record. And i congratulate you. On detroit's stories is out now from alice. Cooper i know we have limited time so before i let you go obviously. All these artists are in the same boat. All looking for hoping for the opportunity to be able to play live. I'm sure you'd love to break some of this stuff out live with the band. There is some stuff starting to happen. There are some shows starting to pop up various festivals. And things like that. Where are you at with being able to go out and play live again. We can't wait to get back on stage. i mean between us vampires. Everybody sitting there going. Just give us the goal light. We're ready to go right now. Would they probably would do it without rehearsal. You know they've just let us go play. And i get that. I mean you really do suffer from a withdrawal from that adrenaline rush every night of getting on stage. I did that for fifty five years and all of a the rugs pulled out from under you any this year without being on stage and you kind of have to get used to that because you know the end of the day is the adrenaline rush. It's the high point of the day getting out in front of that audience and two weeks off is kind of a little bit. Gets a little bit edgy. A year off is something you have to really learn how to do. I mean i spend all my time writing spend all my time doing zooms getting in touch with everybody. How how are we going to do this. How are we going to do that. And everybody is just ready to play now. We just can't wait to get back on. Both both fans are designed to get back on the road so as soon as they give us the. I've already had kobe. And i've already had the two shots. So i'm like a walking antibody right now and i think i talked to england the other day i think half of the population of big is already inoculated. I mean by the time summer comes around. I think ninety percent of the planet gonna be inoculated. So why not do concerts show up. Show your inauguration thing. Yeah let's go. I think that's where we're headed for sure. And i actually just got my second shot. So i'm good to go as well. It's nice to feel that way. It's nice to feel like i mean such. It was such a relief to get that second shot and be like all right man now like what. What are we got. let's go. i'm ready to do it and same with me. I mean i don't. I'm not on the road. Nearly as much as a touring rock band. But i'm out there quite a bit and have been over the last ten years and all that stop for me too so itching and looking forward to doing some things and i feel the same way. I didn't realize that you had had cova though. How did you do with it. Where you where you really ill from it. I had it right at christmas right The end of november..

"Mean if you don't have that attitude. I don't know why even in the business so alice. Let's talk with the time that we have a little bit about this record. I know that you you know this is near and dear to you. The story line detroit stories the guests that you brought into it some with detroit roots and histories and some not like a guy that's actually gonna be on with me tomorrow. Joe bottom masa who guests on this record in upstate. New york guy. I know joe quite well. So how did how did you end up. Bringing bottom masa into this and making him an honorary detroit guy. That's exactly what we did. You know there were I met joe if he came to one of the solid rock. Christmas shows any played with the original bat. And it was really kind of touching to me where we're on stage rehearsing. And he goes on a little nervous. And i go about what he says. I'm playing with gender stone away. And neil smith's and mike bruce unplanned with the original l. cooper bed and i kinda what what would you be nervous about that. But then you realize that's his history. I would be nervous if somebody says okay. You're gonna sing with the yardbirds or you're going to sing with the who you know i would go. Wow i'm nervous. You know because those are the guys that taught me but at the same time. He's a real. He's a real student of that era. You know of that era of Guitar rock music and and and we just said that we had to do a blue song on the album. Because we're trying to represent all of detroit. We did a molchan song thousand dollar shoes which i brought in horns and girls and the whole thing to make it at one. Yeah that's a. that's a fun song. And then. I said we gotta do a blue song. Because there's still people living under bridges in detroit like every other city and there's a love affair going on into their this just as valid as romeo and juliet. This guy lives in this box and that girl lives in that box and he's tried to take them over to my box. You know because with you. And it's a blue song. So i said well who better than steve. Hunter and joe bona masa. You know. I mean you can't get much better than that and that and now did give myself a guilty pleasure a to play harmonica Harp on that. So and what about the decision to open the record with the song written by lou reed You open the record with rock and roll and talk a little bit about that. Because lou obviously acquitted quintessential new york guy. But he's you know he's got the opening track on the record. One of the few covers on the record to well. Wasn't you know the thing is is. I knew back in chelsea hotels days in new york. City velvet underground. We knew though those guys there they all they did that. Version that song in a sort of nineteen seventy new. York heroin chic. You know underground thing. So it's like janet would just is do nothing going on it all that worked so well for that band right. Bob and i said what if we took that song to detroit put a v eight engine in it up the horsepower and made it into a just a munster rocker at end. Lou would not have minded me changing new york to detroit. The detroit station sounded just as good as new york station. And it may be might have been more valid to be honest with you. Because you know hard rock's pretty much detroit. And i i know kim newly unbear- pretty well. He would not have minded. That and laurie anderson loved it. She thought it was a really she. Said lewis loved us version. It's a great opening track and it's a great rocker on the record again. The album's out now folks detroit stories from alice cooper. I also want to ask you about a track on it. And i'm sure it sounds to me like you had a lot of fun doing this record with bob because even when i go through it and i've got the cd. Which is my favorite thing to have still. And i'm going through the booklet and reading all the different people that are on the different tracks. It sounds like you got to really just spread out and do some different things here and one of the tracks. When i listened to it that jumped out at me. Vocally for you. That really i thought was different was our love will change the world talk a little bit about that because i didn't think that was you singing on that for a second let. It was one of those songs. It was a punk band from detroit outrageous cherry and i said we got we have to represent that too and we heard that song. I couldn't get it out of my head. I could not get that melody out of my head because what it reminded me of those. It's getting bad or all the time I used to be bad. Must school really happy song really happy. And then the lyrics are totally subversive. The lyrics is is like the children of the damned singing to us and they're singing and they're going if you could just kind of get out of our way you know. Our love will change the world. You'll get used to it. you know. Somehow you'll get very throwaway. You know and i loved the idea. The juxtaposition of these really kind of snotty new kids telling us to get out of the way you know because their love is gonna chase in a to me. It was a comical song. I thought you know But vocal on that. Yeah i could do. I do beatles stuff you know i mean i i attract new album i did. Eleanor rigby and a The movie sergeant pepper. I did because the john lennon kind of sun. But i loved the idea that we were representing. Also that one thousand nine hundred nineties punk pop thing that was going on in detroit also. So you've got hardrock you've got motown you've got blues. You've got punk. You've got specially hard rock. That's that's actually. The the point of the spear there is is Is hard rock guitar. Driven hard rock. But that's all i know it. Everybody talks about that song sometimes. I say there's always one son album that doesn't belong. Played like crazy. England business loved that song. Was there ever again. Because it. And i'm sure you had fun doing this with with the original guys in the different people in the mix of other people's material in your own material and all that but was there ever a time where you said or bob said. I don't know if we should do that or we go down that road because that's not necessarily alice. Where wherever concerned about that. Well you know. We talked about that at the same time. I said you know all we need is alice doing his. Take on it. Alice's take on a blue song. It would be different than paul. Butterfield's you know might take on a on a on any of these songs song. A punk song would even though. I kind of feel comfortable doing that song. gomez you know telling a story I just feel when you. So alison there. He's a bit of a mimic. You know he can. He can do all of that stuff in his own sense of humor and his own sense of irony so i didn't know we didn't really think we going in any direction that wasn't really asked. Maybe our change. The world was one that we thought about this sticks out like a sore thumb. Good leave it on..

"The brace where you're at that can still be heard unfiltered uncensored say whatever you want at the record button then can have you know. I know nobody came to be known tonight. Now that nobody wants to be nisha cast gap with host a books jenny trunk and this is the trunk podcast. Welcome to another week and another episode. Free every thursday wherever you get your podcast. Thank you for subscribing downloading and checking it out bringing you all sorts of great artist interviews each and every week and excited to be back to bring you another and this week another doubleheader as we've got to do for you we'll start out with the legendary alice cooper who checked in on my radio show. This goes back a little bit. I guess about a month or two ago. Alice of course with the brand new album called detroit stories. That did really really well for him. And alyssa guy. That is always out. And always touring and of course as things continue to win especially here in america depending upon where you're listening i can tell you here in the. Us things are pretty much wide open. As far as touring and shows coming back. Which is a great thing to see alice. Cooper already lining up some shows as a matter of fact announced a tour with ace freely to be going out soon. That tour was not announced at the time. We did this interview at the time. We did the interview with alice. He was actually in los angeles and working on a tv show. That is yet to come out. That is kind of like a talent show for rock artist. My understanding of it is that at least so we'll look forward to seeing what's going on there. Alice always a guy that is always active and busy even this far into his career and made a great record that reunited some of the members of the original alice cooper band and a love letter to his hometown of detroit. We talk about all of that with alice. Cooper in interview number one in interview number two maria brink and chris howarth from the band in this moment. Join me and it was great to have maria on an chris. I don't think. I believe this was. Maybe the first time i've ever interviewed them. Although i have certainly seen the band and have said hello to them backstage at festivals and whatnot They've played rocco home in the past and have had a chance to say a quick. Hello what's interesting here is Both of these artists incredibly theatrical. If you're looking at a link between them obviously they come from very very different histories and generations and music but there is a link for sure in that. They are both very theatrical in their presentations. For what they do. In this moment we get a little update with marina and chris and then of course like i said we'll start with alice cooper and remember with the the interviews at the time we did these. There were still question. Marks about touring and what these bands were going to be able to do to play live so keep that in mind as you hear the interviews. We now know things are of course happening but back then there was still a lot of question marks. These aren't that old but it's relatively new in the last couple of weeks. Of course that we're seeing so many shows and festivals come back online alice. Since that interview was done announced the dates with as freely and as far as maria brink in the in this moment crew. Some shows being announced if not already soon so. That's all good good stuff so get to those interviews here in just a second back to back here on the eddie trunk podcast again. All the interviews. You here come to you. Come to us..

"Cooper fashion forward into the wish. I should've poured into the hook, but yes, Happy birthday, Alice Cooper. Okay, so this may be laughs. All right. So a CNN good for today because Lori usually fills it out. And it's happy birthday. Alice Cooper and I'm like, Wow, we're going David. Julia, That is my first concert. I know in my was just it was Alice Cooper. So you always have. Ah. Fun? Yes. For your first concert sky, sir. Yeah, Cooper. Where was that Duluth Somewhere in Duluth Arena. And my mom. Carina. What They called a decade. Yeah, and my mom was not happy about it. She thought he was some some kind of a devil. Worshippers said I raised you girls on Elvis, even the makeup. Who is this guy? And it was like 1974 or no would have been 75 because we lived in Duluth. And begged my mom. You know, because of course, we were like in 8th and 9th grade so nobody could drive me and my mom toe. Drive us and pick us up and love that it was there like a big, elaborate station. Welcome to my nightmares. It was like that's the one that set him and fame. He was probably the peak of his thing and Had, like, I remember. I mean, I just I thought all concerts was like that lighters and older people and all kind of cool people. Haze of marijuana. My sister and I were kind of scared, but kind of not, you know, I mean, it really set me on a wild concert path. And so I always feel very, very fun. Li about Alice Cooper as well. He's very injured head. Yeah. Did you ever see kiss? I don't know about first concert at the same Pacific Center suite. I s Oh, Woz. We had memorable ones. Yeah. What was yours? Record? I saw this was pretty good One. I saw the police on the ghost in the machine tour. And the opening act was Joan Jett and I love Rock and roll is number one on billboard s. So it's 1982 million here. Yeah. Wow. So don't you always Feel attention when you like, sees things birthday reason the news or Joan Jeter? He was remember when I got in this stinking and interviewed sting last year, Remember, he was coming to the Ordway for the last ship. The last ship. That's right. Did you ask him a question? I did. She came in singing a C shit, but I'm telling you, my friend Liza one, I brought my friendlies, and she's like he got the good picture with him, and I didn't But he was so lovely and delightful and down to earth and excited about this show. And just so, um It felt very he not a snobby bone in his body. He just felt really cool. Felt instant chemistry. Well, okay, that she'll never happened. And then the tent except that except reality show never happened or not happened Cove. It happened, but he couldn't have been a nicer man, right? It was really kind of calling me. He played a little bit of the music from it and stuff and Yeah, that was the highlight. All right? Can I give you the highlights of the second ways We can do it pretty quickly so that I always forget that the screen actor Guild nominations always come like that Dare to after the Golden Globes, but Golden Globe nominations were yesterday. There were snubs galore in that and and shows that got nominated that deserve nothing right in the Golden Globes. So one of the things that we were most shocked about the Golden Globes was HBO's I may destroy you. And the woman who created the show and stars and that Makayla call I mean to say, groundbreakingly different, incredible show how our powerful beyond belief. Anyway, that show sticks with you that was holding globes didn't get it, but the SAG awards did. They also recognized Bridger Tenet got an ensemble cast nomination. They also nominated to five Bloods. The Chadwick Boseman had four nominations, so he's made history as the first Screen Actor Guild Award actor to receive four segue nominations in a single year, and we also got a nod for this is like the only network nod and it was for outstanding performance by male actor in a drama series. For Sterling K. Brown for this is us. Yes, good. He's amazing. And one episode this season. That was all about him going down. He drove down to that state the car right? It was just he and Beth, but The only thing that the screen actor Guild words God Wrong was courting like Golden Globes. A lot of people Jared Leto in the little things is just getting nominated for wearing prosthetic nose. Brown eyes and carrying a small pillow around his middle and then walking with the hitch in this game because you saw this This movie just came out last week. It's that assure watching. No, no, This is not. It's an age feel, Max. It's in theaters tell Washington I'm Rami will say they wish there was another twist that I told you that That was what I said. But I was like, I mean, I like it, But I'm telling you right now, Jared Leto is getting recognition because I don't think some of these numb people who could get a vote there. Just voting for names they recognize It's like Lamar Odom Jr got nominated for one night in Miami, not any of the other actors because I think he's got the most recognizable name hand. He does sing as Sam Cooke and sounds like Sam Cooke. All right, got in that movie, but Jared Leto's It's Ah, It's like that. What other prosthetic of performances People sometimes win for good prosthetics and cold kid hit men for Virginia Woolf? That's right. Whatever. That was your shower after her divorce from Tom Cruise, Yes. Oh, anyway, but they mob rainy machinery is a movie we need to see. And but Jared.

interview With Roger Glover Of Deep Purple
"I had a chance to spend some time with his Band on the road throughout Mexico we had some great journeys. We had a great lunch legendary ban that is on a long goodbye tour that apparently is getting longer because they've just released a great new album called whoosh here is Roger Glover of Deep Purple Raj. How are you my friend? I'm great I'm great. You remember that luxury. Well, we we. I don't remember what city it was in but we stumbled upon some some spot and remember the band playing and we had a couple of drinks. It was a wonderful afternoon. That's right. There were more in the band we're eating in the restaurant. That's really true. We have a great photo of that somewhere. But anyway have you been Roger I mean it's It's crazy times in the world and deep purple is such a global touring band. It must be quite strange for you'd have to be sort of tethered down right now. a very strange Initially the longest time I've ever had. Is Our full. Stop. Jane. Cooking cleaning. Gardening. Well. You've got a young one you gotta young onto don't you? Too Young well, eleven and nine that's pretty young. That's a that's a that's younger than mine. So I know what it's like it's it's a lot of work. On, my older one is came over for a couple of weeks. She shot forty now and married and my two grandkids. FOR THE MOA It's been a hectic hectic time I. Keep Thinking this a rehearsal took permanent retirement. But I you know I don't want that to happen. So we live in hope. we recorded this album nausea year and so. The original release date was June sometime to go put back to August. Having sitting on a new album beside long without getting released. He's like old hat to us now and yet everyone tearing it for the first time. Yeah. I was GonNa ask you used to that I was GonNa ask you about the time line on it because if I'm not mistaken when we were traveling together and we did run through Mexico together, I remember some rumblings at that time from some of the guys in the band about the idea of. Doing a new record. So at that point, it was still in the talking stages I think and then I'm assuming you wrapped up touring everybody said Yeah let's go for it and you once again connect with the Bob with Bob. Ezra talk about the timeline and and given that you guys are short of winding down. was there differences in the band as to whether you should do new record or not? No. No wasn't actually it was. Quite organic. We'll wanted to do it. I think the thing is since probe. we've done three albums with him now and there's I think there's a feeling that our age seventy S. This is the Korea and we we've got three Amazing albums. showed a sort of a late flowering of abandoned Korea if you like. Very happy about that what what is it? What is it about the connection with the Bantu Baba's your and you know I've talked Alice Cooper about this and he's got a long history with them and a few other artists and I've actually talked to Bob and interviewed him a timer to what what is it for you? What is it about the purple guys that he's brought out of you guys that you feel so comfortable and wanting to be creative with him. And Klay in Toronto. Eight nine years ago. We didn't meet him that night, but the next day we had. A breakfast meeting with him. And he said some great things. He said he really loved musicianship in Swanton Ahe of the band. And He said. Should forget trying to you know, right. Songs to get you know. Parades forget sixty s just be yourself some stretch out. Not Keywords because we started writing. whatever immagination took us. and. I think we had a whole news of the writing experience lost three albums of Philip songs we could never written. Back in the seventies. So the the nineties so so You know. S Precious that connection. We get along with them really well, he looks very efficiently in the studio he encourages. Spontaneity. Encourages. freshness of all recording at the same time, we will go in the studio at the same dominant record the. We don't allow things on you know.
