6:23 Speaker 5: very cool, very cool. Now you do you do a

6:26 Speaker 5: lot of tribute shows, right.

6:27 Speaker 9: We do. We probably put on at least fifty shows

6:30 Speaker 9: a year. Wow.

6:31 Speaker 5: Okay, so you got something pretty much every week then, yeah.

6:35 Speaker 9: Pretty much. Sometimes next week we got three nights in

6:37 Speaker 9: a row. Oh no kidding.

6:39 Speaker 5: Wow, So that's kind of I feel like that's kind

6:42 Speaker 5: of your specialty, right, but it's not the only thing.

6:44 Speaker 5: Because you know you're involved in Swarmy Fest. We should

6:47 Speaker 5: mention that too. Yep, you're the promoter for a Swarmy

6:49 Speaker 5: Fest coming up November fifteenth. That wore my I wore

6:51 Speaker 5: my Stepsis shirt of course, the new one that they

6:54 Speaker 5: got me last week. Yeah, this will be uh, you know,

6:56 Speaker 5: this show, not the station, but this show specifically. We're

6:59 Speaker 5: one of the spots answers involved in that, and Jenny

7:03 Speaker 5: and I always we always look forward to Swarmy Fest

7:05 Speaker 5: every year. So this is going to be great and

7:09 Speaker 5: how but this is your this is your first year

7:11 Speaker 5: Loud Entertainments, first year involved in that, correct.

7:14 Speaker 9: In Swimmy Fish. Yeah great, So how did that come about?

7:18 Speaker 9: I'm really curious.

7:20 Speaker 5: It's it's a wonderful thing to be a part of,

7:22 Speaker 5: but to be you know, that's but you've got a

7:23 Speaker 5: little extra responsibility, right because like Jenny and I just

7:27 Speaker 5: have to show up and kind of represent what we

7:28 Speaker 5: do and whatnot. But as the promoter, you know, you've

7:31 Speaker 5: got a lot on your shoulders rights as the promoters

7:34 Speaker 5: of the show.

7:35 Speaker 9: Yes, absolutely, there's a lot of organization organizing things that

7:38 Speaker 9: particular show has. It's not just a show, I should say,

7:41 Speaker 9: it's not just a concert. It is actually a show. Yeah,

7:44 Speaker 9: we're going to bring a lot of different accent and

7:46 Speaker 9: do some different things and you know, we try to

7:48 Speaker 9: bring you know, bring different people in and have a

7:51 Speaker 9: good time. And the more the merrier on that one. Yeah.

7:54 Speaker 5: Yeah, So how long has loud entertainment existed?

7:58 Speaker 9: And and and have have.

8:00 Speaker 5: Both of you been because baboo, you're your part I mean,

8:05 Speaker 5: are you partners in this or are you.

8:07 Speaker 7: There are three of us involved in it. Were other

8:10 Speaker 7: gentleman named Joe Gun.

8:12 Speaker 5: Okay, okay, So so you've been you've both been there

8:16 Speaker 5: from the beginning. Obviously you guys started you started it.

8:20 Speaker 9: We were actually doing a show at Default and uh

8:23 Speaker 9: I at that point I didn't know mister bab Yeah,

8:26 Speaker 9: and he walked in the room and I was sitting

8:29 Speaker 9: there with my girlfriend and she said.

8:30 Speaker 5: I assume I assume you noticed him right away.

8:32 Speaker 9: Well she did. Yeah. She said to me, see that

8:35 Speaker 9: guy over there. I said yeah. She said, that's the

8:37 Speaker 9: way a promoter should be dressed.

8:39 Speaker 5: Nice.

8:39 Speaker 9: So later on after the show, there was a local

8:42 Speaker 9: band playing at a bar and not five down the road,

8:45 Speaker 9: and uh, we went over there to see that after

8:48 Speaker 9: we were done, and mister Babu walked in again. Yeah,

8:51 Speaker 9: so I call her sent him an email the next day.

8:54 Speaker 9: He sent me one back and I mean, we've been

8:56 Speaker 9: pretty good friends since well I shouldn't even say good friends.

8:59 Speaker 9: We talked daily, so every day excellent?

9:02 Speaker 5: Excellent. So then how did uh, I mean, did one

9:05 Speaker 5: of you pitch the idea to the other for loud

9:08 Speaker 5: entertainment or how did that happen?

9:09 Speaker 7: Well?

9:10 Speaker 9: Was doing our once you tell him what's up with that?

9:14 Speaker 9: Which one on the question?

9:16 Speaker 5: He just asked about loud entertainment, Like, how did the

9:19 Speaker 5: two of you? I mean, it sounds like you became

9:21 Speaker 5: fast friends, But then how did loud entertainment come into existence?

9:24 Speaker 7: Well, loud was doing shows and then as as Larry mentioned,

9:28 Speaker 7: we kind of met up at this little bar after

9:30 Speaker 7: a gig at at the Vault, okay, and he proposed

9:34 Speaker 7: that I do all of their events and m see

9:36 Speaker 7: everything that they do, Oh, okay, which is Gemini, Christmas

9:40 Speaker 7: a lot. Yeah. And I was, you know, slipping around

9:44 Speaker 7: getting here dribs and drabs, you know ones he tuesdays.

9:48 Speaker 7: Now I'm getting like three nights in a given week. Yeah.

9:53 Speaker 7: I know some bands that you know, they'll do over

9:56 Speaker 7: one hundred gigs a year.

9:58 Speaker 9: Yeah.

9:58 Speaker 7: I see us in twenty twenty six being there, Yeah,

10:02 Speaker 7: twenty twenty seven at the latest.

10:05 Speaker 9: Yeah.

10:06 Speaker 7: But there's a lot of venues that are closing. There's

10:10 Speaker 7: a couple of them that are that we're losing, and

10:13 Speaker 7: that will mean that the bands will have better, better attendance,

10:17 Speaker 7: I believe, because there's a lot of people out there

10:21 Speaker 7: for these tribute bands to get a foothold.

10:23 Speaker 9: I try. I try to say all the time that

10:26 Speaker 9: you know, at our age doing these tribute bands, you know,

10:29 Speaker 9: half of us have passed away. The other half never

10:32 Speaker 9: came back to music. So there's a small piece of

10:34 Speaker 9: pie to split up. When there's nineteen shows going on

10:37 Speaker 9: within one hundred miles of each other, right, Yeah, everybody

10:40 Speaker 9: gets everybody gets a few. Yeah, so when you do

10:43 Speaker 9: get that show with one hundred and fifty two hundred

10:45 Speaker 9: people in a small club, you actually had a good night,

10:47 Speaker 9: because that's that's accomplishing something. Yeah. Absolutely.

10:51 Speaker 5: I hate to see venues closing though, that's that's terrible.

10:54 Speaker 9: One of the one of the big ones out on

10:56 Speaker 9: the what is that the boat? The boat? Okay, the

11:00 Speaker 9: boat is closing.

11:01 Speaker 5: It's cool though that like you guys take the attitude

11:04 Speaker 5: of well, you know, it's it's terrible when venues closed,

11:07 Speaker 5: but you know you got to find the silver linings, right.

11:10 Speaker 9: So show must go on. Yep, yep.

11:13 Speaker 5: Absolutely.

11:14 Speaker 7: There's never been more tribute pans now never ever.

11:17 Speaker 9: Ever.

11:18 Speaker 7: The first tribute band that I knew was way back

11:20 Speaker 7: in the early eighties was called Surgical Steel and they

11:23 Speaker 7: were copying Judish Priest. Yeah, and that was the only

11:26 Speaker 7: tribute pan then. But now Gimiani Christmas. There's a Linda

11:30 Speaker 7: ronstant One that's up at the two below.

11:32 Speaker 9: Yeah.

11:33 Speaker 7: Ah, these tribute bands come out. We just got through

11:36 Speaker 7: having a couple of really great country Western trips down

11:40 Speaker 7: at the Plymouth Memorial Hall, which we're going to be

11:42 Speaker 7: doing shows later on this year again excellent and some

11:45 Speaker 7: country events. We found out that there's a lot of

11:47 Speaker 7: people out there that you know, I know, you're a

11:50 Speaker 7: rock station, but there are a lot of country fans

11:52 Speaker 7: out there.

11:53 Speaker 9: Oh yeah.

11:53 Speaker 5: We have actually our guests in our number two, Matt Axton.

11:57 Speaker 5: He's white accent son. Oh my, so we got it.

12:00 Speaker 5: You got a country act in the second hour today

12:01 Speaker 5: as a matter of yeah, yeah, yeah.

12:04 Speaker 9: We're having a little bit long. We love all types

12:07 Speaker 9: of music, all genres, you know. Yeah, do what we

12:11 Speaker 9: can to help out no matter what it is.

12:12 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, absolutely, So why why is it? Why do

12:16 Speaker 5: you guys think there are more tribute bands than ever?

12:19 Speaker 9: Right now?

12:20 Speaker 10: What?

12:20 Speaker 9: What?

12:20 Speaker 5: What's the reason for that?

12:21 Speaker 9: Do you think?

12:22 Speaker 5: I mean, is is there something that's driving that?

12:24 Speaker 7: Or Yeah, they want to be musicians and they want

12:26 Speaker 7: to work.

12:27 Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, yeah, because you can. You can really make

12:31 Speaker 5: a living doing that, right, sure you can.

12:33 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, but you also got to realize that the

12:36 Speaker 7: competition is very rough.

12:38 Speaker 9: Yeah.

12:39 Speaker 7: There's a couple of bands out there that do well.

12:41 Speaker 7: A guy named Miguel and Kalvis runs a band called

12:44 Speaker 7: Back in Black. They really do well. They're ac DC

12:47 Speaker 7: all over New England all the way to Western PA.

12:51 Speaker 7: Then there's a band called Crazy Train Ozzie Experience. These

12:55 Speaker 7: cats go on Hawaii now granted Ozzie just passed, and

12:59 Speaker 7: the riding the crash to the way they just got

13:02 Speaker 7: through performing for like eight thousand people.

13:05 Speaker 9: Oh wow.

13:06 Speaker 7: Uh they're they're all over the place now and they're

13:09 Speaker 7: coming down to.

13:11 Speaker 9: The Jewel and the Jewel I mean to excuse me,

13:14 Speaker 9: They're coming down to the Vault next Saturday night, Crazy

13:17 Speaker 9: Train and uh, who we got with them?

13:20 Speaker 7: Uh?

13:21 Speaker 9: Sugar? Maybe there's so many shows on the schedule. Yeah,

13:26 Speaker 9: say it because it's oh Crazy Training White Steak, which

13:29 Speaker 9: is the White Snake tribute. Those guys are hot too.

13:32 Speaker 9: They are really good right now. Yeah. Absolutely, they're starting

13:35 Speaker 9: to get more and more, playing bigger theaters and stuff. Okay,

13:37 Speaker 9: so yeah, now how does it work? I suppose.

13:40 Speaker 5: I don't know if as as the promoters, if if

13:43 Speaker 5: you have to worry about this part, or it's more

13:45 Speaker 5: of the band has to worry about this part. These

13:47 Speaker 5: individual bands, but I've always been curious about because that's

13:52 Speaker 5: not a with tribute bands, that's not a particular zone

13:55 Speaker 5: I've ever had any involvement in like, how does that

13:57 Speaker 5: work legally like any other job, because pay a tax? No,

14:01 Speaker 5: but I mean, but I mean in terms of intellectual

14:04 Speaker 5: property and whatnot, Like, do you know any because I'm

14:07 Speaker 5: sure there's stories out there of bands that are maybe

14:09 Speaker 5: doing a tribute a tribute act and they get you know,

14:13 Speaker 5: somebody kind of taps them on the shoulder, sends them

14:15 Speaker 5: a season assist letter or something saying we don't want

14:18 Speaker 5: you doing this and.

14:19 Speaker 9: You have to have original photos. Okay, use the word

14:23 Speaker 9: tribute a lot when you're explaining your shows. Okay, we

14:26 Speaker 9: just had a recent issue with our show that's going

14:29 Speaker 9: on tonight. Oh, about two months ago, when we started

14:33 Speaker 9: advertising the show, someone took our venue, our time, our date,

14:37 Speaker 9: and posted real pictures of the real Godsmack on stump hub.

14:42 Speaker 9: Oh Wowally, I started getting calls from people and saying, hey,

14:47 Speaker 9: we just paid three hundred and eighty dollars before tickets.

14:50 Speaker 9: Oh my god, I'm like you crazy. So I'm actually

14:53 Speaker 9: letting them come tonight. Yeah, the people that don't have tickets,

14:58 Speaker 9: I'm just going to give them a break at the door.

15:00 Speaker 9: And they still got to you know, obviously still got

15:02 Speaker 9: to pay to come in. But I'm going to tell

15:03 Speaker 9: them that I've already spoke to stump Hup and Stumphub

15:06 Speaker 9: said to let the people that don't have valid tickets

15:09 Speaker 9: to tell them to call them in the morning and

15:11 Speaker 9: they will they'll fix the situation. They can't do anything

15:14 Speaker 9: about it until after the show.

15:15 Speaker 5: Okay, So somebody, somebody was pulling a scam. In other words, so, yeah,

15:19 Speaker 5: the ups they took your show made it look like

15:21 Speaker 5: it was the actual band.

15:22 Speaker 9: Yeah, and we actually got Wow, we actually got a

15:24 Speaker 9: phone call from like God Smacks people and they're like,

15:27 Speaker 9: what are you guys doing? We're like, whoa, that ain't us.

15:30 Speaker 9: I got a call from John over at the Jewel

15:32 Speaker 9: and he said, what's going on? Why are you doing this? Yeah,

15:35 Speaker 9: he said, John, that's not us. So we all looked

15:38 Speaker 9: into it and we ended up figuring out that it

15:39 Speaker 9: was a scam.

15:40 Speaker 5: Oh, that's crazy. I can see how that would happen though. Wow.

15:44 Speaker 5: So have you ever had a situation where a band

15:47 Speaker 5: is supposed to play and they come to you and

15:48 Speaker 5: they say, we've got a problem. We got a letter

15:51 Speaker 5: we heard from somebody's lawyer. That hasn't happened that's good. No,

15:55 Speaker 5: that's good, you.

15:55 Speaker 7: Know, And if you really think about it, these tribute

15:57 Speaker 7: bands are doing the bands that they're you know, copying

16:01 Speaker 7: and on or because they're keeping their music alive. Yes,

16:04 Speaker 7: and they're helping sell their.

16:05 Speaker 5: Product exactly, exactly. Yeah. I often, you know, when the

16:10 Speaker 5: subject of tribute bands come up. You know, my favorite

16:12 Speaker 5: band of all time is Kiss, and I'm well aware

16:15 Speaker 5: that because i've you know, I've read a lot of

16:17 Speaker 5: books about this. How during the eighties, when Kiss was

16:20 Speaker 5: in their non makeup era, you know, these tribute bands

16:24 Speaker 5: started popping up of kissing full makeup, and Kiss has

16:27 Speaker 5: always I've seen and heard a couple things that make

16:32 Speaker 5: me think in recent years they might have changed their

16:35 Speaker 5: policy slightly. But I know, for a long time, Kiss

16:38 Speaker 5: was really good about you know, they weren't going after anybody.

16:41 Speaker 5: Leave them alone, let them do their thing, because they're

16:44 Speaker 5: actually helped. There was a Kiss tribute band in the

16:46 Speaker 5: early nineties. I can't remember who it was, but there

16:51 Speaker 5: was a guy from Boston who was in the band

16:53 Speaker 5: who they they did like five thousand seats at a

16:58 Speaker 5: tribute show in Canada, you know, doing the full makeup show.

17:02 Speaker 5: So it's it's like, you know, so they were making

17:05 Speaker 5: money and you know it helps, you know, it helps

17:08 Speaker 5: promote the band that they're a tribute of. But I

17:11 Speaker 5: do know too that there's like I remember a few

17:13 Speaker 5: years ago, I think there was a story about Springsteen

17:17 Speaker 5: was harassing somebody who was doing a Springsteen show, saying

17:20 Speaker 5: I don't want you doing But I don't know what

17:22 Speaker 5: the you know, details were about that eater, And maybe

17:25 Speaker 5: there was something that this guy was doing that that

17:27 Speaker 5: Springsteen objected to specifically. I'm not sure, but I know

17:31 Speaker 5: that you can run into trouble. But but it sounds

17:33 Speaker 5: like it's been pretty smooth for you guys overall.

17:35 Speaker 7: Right, Well, you got to remember the master marketer is

17:38 Speaker 7: Geene Simmons. He's got one thing that I think it's,

17:42 Speaker 7: although a little bit harsh, very correct. He says, if

17:46 Speaker 7: if you think that money cannot buy you happiness, you've

17:48 Speaker 7: never had money, right.

17:52 Speaker 9: True.

17:53 Speaker 7: He's the master marketer. He makes money off of everything

17:55 Speaker 7: he touches, and he's happy. He's heck to have these

17:58 Speaker 7: kids tributes out there. Yeah, here's one that Larry and

18:01 Speaker 7: I know, well, kiss story with a guy named Vinnie,

18:05 Speaker 7: and Vinnie is spinning off a little bit into an

18:08 Speaker 7: Aussie trip that they call Sweet Leave. Okay, Vinnie's great.

18:11 Speaker 7: He's been a musician all his life. They're over in

18:14 Speaker 7: the New York area, Western New York area mostly so

18:17 Speaker 7: history hasn't come around. We're hoping we can set something up.

18:20 Speaker 7: Oh yeah, in the future.

18:22 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah yeah. And if you do it in

18:24 Speaker 5: they're coming here. We'd love to get him on the show.

18:25 Speaker 7: Oh if we'd love to get him in the studio.

18:27 Speaker 7: All makeup and everything. They are bloody right on. I

18:34 Speaker 7: mean every aspect, boots everything, Kate, Yeah, perfect makeup.

18:40 Speaker 9: They are the most The blood running from his mouth.

18:43 Speaker 7: I don't know if he does that breathing fire. I

18:46 Speaker 7: don't believe he does that one. The pyrotechnic thing, and

18:49 Speaker 7: that's kind of a game thing. I mean, you hold

18:53 Speaker 7: all the liquid in your mouth, you stew it out,

18:55 Speaker 7: and then you purse your lips because if you draw

18:58 Speaker 7: back you can get a face full of fire.

19:00 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah. Who's the I mean, is there anyone

19:05 Speaker 5: you guys have booked who has particularly surprised you in

19:12 Speaker 5: terms of just how.

19:13 Speaker 9: Good where you go? Wow?

19:15 Speaker 7: Like, an absolutely young band named Under the Horizon has

19:19 Speaker 7: been very very good.

19:21 Speaker 5: We love we love them, and we should clarify to

19:23 Speaker 5: for listeners who don't know that they're not a tribute

19:26 Speaker 5: but there. We've had them on the show and Jenny

19:29 Speaker 5: and I just saw them last. It was a week

19:32 Speaker 5: ago today actually at Bad Burger Okay with Vices Inc.

19:35 Speaker 9: And Ye played Dad. They've been making some noise. I mean,

19:38 Speaker 9: those kids and that guitarist is crazy. The drum is great,

19:42 Speaker 9: and the girl she loosens up a little more. Every

19:44 Speaker 9: single show. You find her doing something better and better

19:47 Speaker 9: and better, and she's just growing along with the band.

19:50 Speaker 9: And it's I mean, honestly, did one of the better

19:54 Speaker 9: younger because they are real young. Ain't one in the

19:57 Speaker 9: band that's over eighteen? Yeah, yeah, but we tried to

20:00 Speaker 9: put them in all our metal shows. We think they're great. Yeah.

20:03 Speaker 9: I mean the dad, Mike Palmer, he's taking good care

20:07 Speaker 9: of them kids. He bought the bus.

20:09 Speaker 7: He's pushing them, a yellow school bus. They got a

20:12 Speaker 7: yellow school bush. Yeah, the horizon on the side. It's

20:14 Speaker 7: really great.

20:14 Speaker 9: Oh yeah, yeah, take you back in time when they

20:17 Speaker 9: used to just travel around and a bus together. You know,

20:19 Speaker 9: every time they pull up to a show, I'm waiting

20:21 Speaker 9: for the Pocas family to come back right right.

20:26 Speaker 5: They've gotten heavier too than when they started. The first

20:28 Speaker 5: time Jenny and I saw them live, it was right

20:30 Speaker 5: after they were on this show and we went I

20:32 Speaker 5: think it was that same weekend we went and saw

20:33 Speaker 5: them at the Tupelo. They were opening for Was it

20:36 Speaker 5: Great White? They're doing that again?

20:38 Speaker 7: I'm not sure.

20:39 Speaker 9: I can't remember it was Great White. It was they're

20:41 Speaker 9: actually opening up a Great White again in a couple

20:43 Speaker 9: of weeks.

20:44 Speaker 5: The reason I couldn't remember is because Jenny and I

20:46 Speaker 5: went to that show, but we just stayed for Under

20:47 Speaker 5: the Horizon and they work where, you know. We just

20:49 Speaker 5: wanted to see them, and they.

20:50 Speaker 7: Were kind of like another great band that we're working

20:52 Speaker 7: with and see a lot of potential with. There's a

20:55 Speaker 7: new band, kind of new Stone Crusher.

20:58 Speaker 9: I don't know.

20:58 Speaker 5: I don't know them.

20:59 Speaker 7: They got new album out. Their stuff is really really hot.

21:03 Speaker 9: Okay.

21:03 Speaker 7: Their vocalist was named best vocalist in the local area

21:06 Speaker 7: by a Worcester magazine. I can't remember exactly which magazine.

21:11 Speaker 7: Oh really, he's got some pipes, no doubt. Oh my gosh,

21:14 Speaker 7: he's got one of the best. When he hits the

21:16 Speaker 7: high notes.

21:16 Speaker 5: My toes girl, really yeah nice? So a little bit

21:23 Speaker 5: of a changing gear is baboo. I have to ask

21:25 Speaker 5: you because Larry said was talking about I should ask

21:29 Speaker 5: you this about the time you met Ozzie.

21:31 Speaker 7: Oh yeah, excuse me. So there was a casino in

21:38 Speaker 7: King of Prussia, PA that he came to. Of all places,

21:41 Speaker 7: he was five hours drive away from me, my idol,

21:44 Speaker 7: my lifelong idol. You know all the places in New World,

21:47 Speaker 7: he's five hours.

21:48 Speaker 9: Yeah.

21:49 Speaker 7: So I went for all four days and I met

21:52 Speaker 7: him several times, and the last day I met him.

21:55 Speaker 7: But when I first come up to him, I was

21:57 Speaker 7: kind of expecting him to go, oh, gosh, look there

22:00 Speaker 7: I am, and he kind of went, oh geez, no, no,

22:05 Speaker 7: but I have this coat on and he dug it

22:08 Speaker 7: and he goes Sharon. Sharon goes, oh see you look

22:11 Speaker 7: at this blouch cout. So I've got Beacher's with Sharon too.

22:16 Speaker 7: She doesn't even weigh eighty ninety pounds. I don't think

22:18 Speaker 7: she's so tiny. Yeah, yeah, gosh. But when I met Aussie,

22:23 Speaker 7: he could barely walk and he was sitting in a chair.

22:27 Speaker 7: There was two hundred people to meet him.

22:29 Speaker 5: What year was this roughly twenty twenty twenty three, twenty

22:33 Speaker 5: twenty three, yeah, oh okay, so being a pressure pa.

22:36 Speaker 5: Oh wow, okay, so this was fairly recent, yees.

22:39 Speaker 7: Very recent. Yeah. So I got to sit by him,

22:43 Speaker 7: and I have two rings that were custom made to copy.

22:46 Speaker 7: Is this cross ring and the starring. So he sees

22:49 Speaker 7: the cross ring and he's fascinated with it, and he

22:51 Speaker 7: says mone gout. I said, of course, there's just cold.

22:55 Speaker 7: You're Aussie. I got born man silver. But anyway, he's

22:59 Speaker 7: looking and he can't see it, keeps pushing my hand down.

23:02 Speaker 7: My hand is on his leg. Yeah, you're not supposed

23:05 Speaker 7: to touch these guys.

23:06 Speaker 9: Yeah.

23:06 Speaker 7: Yeah, so I, you know, jerk back and the guy

23:10 Speaker 7: on the other side starts laughing. The photographer starts screaming, Ozzy,

23:14 Speaker 7: Ozzy won two three to tap the snap the picture,

23:17 Speaker 7: you get one shot, okay. So I got this shot

23:20 Speaker 7: of Ozzy and me grinning like hell and Ozzy looking

23:23 Speaker 7: at the photographer and right after the shot he goes,

23:28 Speaker 7: you wank and called him matter a couple of times.

23:31 Speaker 7: Was not happy at all because he want to talk

23:33 Speaker 7: about this ring.

23:34 Speaker 9: Oh okay.

23:35 Speaker 7: So the guy that was there, I hope, I got

23:37 Speaker 7: say anker on here.

23:39 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's fine.

23:43 Speaker 7: So anyway, the guy guy give us some time, and

23:46 Speaker 7: Ozzy was fascinated where to come from talking about it.

23:50 Speaker 7: Then he goes, look, Oz got two hundred people, we

23:53 Speaker 7: got her, he's along. The last thing he said to

23:56 Speaker 7: me was he goes, there's only two things that well,

23:58 Speaker 7: might all go one on? Hey he got yeah wow,

24:02 Speaker 7: and three feet up the ground I went and floated away.

24:06 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's pretty cool.

24:08 Speaker 7: He was gonna come to Phoenix, Arizona and do another

24:11 Speaker 7: one of those things. Yeah, only an hour flight from

24:14 Speaker 7: LA Yeah, in a lyrics yet you know, yeah, he

24:18 Speaker 7: couldn't even do that. I bought tickets for that and

24:21 Speaker 7: that one they didn't hold.

24:22 Speaker 9: It and got canceled.

24:23 Speaker 3: Hyeah.

24:24 Speaker 9: Yeah.

24:24 Speaker 7: And I couldn't afford to get over to England for

24:26 Speaker 7: the last show. Yeah, I mean that was just gosh.

24:30 Speaker 5: No doubt, no doubt, what a what a way to

24:32 Speaker 5: go out though, like doing that show and raising all

24:35 Speaker 5: that money for cancer research and for kids.

24:39 Speaker 7: And was the same man. Everybody said he was black

24:43 Speaker 7: and dark, but he was very very Christian.

24:46 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, it's funny. It's funny you mentioned

24:50 Speaker 5: that because I remember he was on this was years ago.

24:53 Speaker 5: He was on Alice Cooper's show, and uh, some people

24:57 Speaker 5: might not know this about Alice Cooper, but he's a

24:58 Speaker 5: devout Christian and and I remember I remember at the

25:01 Speaker 5: end of the interview Ozzy he kind of went out

25:02 Speaker 5: of his way to say God bless you to Alice.

25:04 Speaker 5: And I thought, oh, that's interesting because you just don't

25:07 Speaker 5: expect that necessarily. But but the but the character, you know,

25:11 Speaker 5: the character of Ozzy Osbourne, you know obviously under that

25:15 Speaker 5: was you know, you know, a really good guy. But

25:18 Speaker 5: but I've always said, too black Sabbath to me is

25:22 Speaker 5: and this is not an original thought. Others have said

25:24 Speaker 5: this too, but the most misunderstood band in in history,

25:28 Speaker 5: you know what I mean. Like I think actually I

25:30 Speaker 5: think Ozzie said that once. You know, because if you

25:34 Speaker 5: if you perceive Sabbath as being like evil and dark,

25:37 Speaker 5: and well, yeah they're dark, but but their songs are not.

25:41 Speaker 5: They're not promoting anything. I don't think anyone really thinks

25:45 Speaker 5: this now anyway, but back in the day, you know,

25:46 Speaker 5: people who are afraid of it whatever. You know, they're

25:49 Speaker 5: not promoting something satanic or anything. It's a you know,

25:51 Speaker 5: it's a commentary on life and the world. And you know,

25:54 Speaker 5: war Pigs, I think is one of the greatest anti

25:57 Speaker 5: war songs ever. But you know, if you go online

26:01 Speaker 5: and you look at you know, look up a list

26:03 Speaker 5: of great anti war songs, you know you'll hear a

26:05 Speaker 5: lot of stuff from the you know, like more of

26:07 Speaker 5: the from the hippies and whatnot. But you know you

26:10 Speaker 5: won't see war Pigs on that list. But it's like,

26:11 Speaker 5: why not. It's a fantastic anti war song in my opinion.

26:16 Speaker 9: Baboo spent a lot of time out on the road

26:19 Speaker 9: throughout his life and he's met many many big rock stars. Yeah,

26:23 Speaker 9: and he's used to tell him how you got all

26:26 Speaker 9: your miles there, Baboo?

26:28 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I'm curious.

26:31 Speaker 7: I used to work for an Arizona company called Arizona Instruments,

26:35 Speaker 7: and they sent me all over the world starting then

26:38 Speaker 7: I got a job with another company in Massachusetts called

26:41 Speaker 7: liq Wood Solids Control. Okay, they sent me all over

26:44 Speaker 7: and then I got my own company. I went all over.

26:46 Speaker 7: But while I was working for Arizona Instruments, I was

26:50 Speaker 7: in Canada with a green card, a gold American Express card,

26:55 Speaker 7: cart launch go wherever I want, no supervision, and Rush

27:00 Speaker 7: would be playing on Triumph. These places down in the

27:03 Speaker 7: United States were thousands of people.

27:06 Speaker 9: Yeah.

27:06 Speaker 7: In fact, I saw him in eighty three at the

27:09 Speaker 7: US Festival at California Triumph.

27:11 Speaker 5: Oh wow.

27:12 Speaker 7: And so I was up in Canada and they were

27:15 Speaker 7: playing and I'd go see him. They couldn't even sell

27:17 Speaker 7: out five hundred seats.

27:18 Speaker 9: No kidding.

27:19 Speaker 7: In their own country they were not as popular as

27:21 Speaker 7: the United States. Well, consequently, I get up and get

27:25 Speaker 7: to meet the band, and by time two years was

27:27 Speaker 7: over with, I knew the band Rush and the band

27:31 Speaker 7: Triumph well enough that if there was a show in

27:33 Speaker 7: Cold Lake, Alberta, I found a business reason to be there.

27:37 Speaker 7: And I was in the dressing room and I you know,

27:41 Speaker 7: I knew Neil Parrot very well. Really, he was well written,

27:45 Speaker 7: he was an author, he was he was such an introvert.

27:49 Speaker 7: He didn't want to have a lot to do with people.

27:52 Speaker 7: Right the show was over, he would run to the limo.

27:55 Speaker 5: I've always heard that about him from other people who

27:57 Speaker 5: knew him. Yeah, that he Yeah, he was not comfortable

28:00 Speaker 5: with the fame part of being famous.

28:03 Speaker 7: The only time he comes from behind his kit to

28:06 Speaker 7: stand with the other guys in the band. Was the

28:08 Speaker 7: last show we ever played.

28:09 Speaker 5: Yeah.

28:10 Speaker 9: How many times have you chased Kiss around the country?

28:13 Speaker 7: Oh my goodness, my ex wife April was Kiss on

28:16 Speaker 7: a member like eight Yeah. Yeah, so Team any Christmas

28:20 Speaker 7: if they came within five hundred bloody miles, I had

28:24 Speaker 7: to go there, yep, and take her there and get

28:26 Speaker 7: as good a tickets as we could afford. And back

28:29 Speaker 7: in the eighties we spent five thousand dollars for a

28:31 Speaker 7: meet and greet. Wow, that was a lot of money then, yeah,

28:35 Speaker 7: but a lot more then. Yeah, But they did it right.

28:39 Speaker 7: It was an hour. We got to meet everybody in

28:41 Speaker 7: the band. Yeah, we got they had food, they had drinks.

28:46 Speaker 7: They spent at least fifteen to twenty minutes with everybody

28:49 Speaker 7: in there. Yeah, we got all the pictures we wanted

28:51 Speaker 7: on our cell phones and such.

28:53 Speaker 9: Yep.

28:54 Speaker 7: So I've got to say that Chris Kiss is one

28:57 Speaker 7: of the best marketing bands out there.

29:02 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, the most heavily merchandise band in history. I

29:05 Speaker 5: think I think the Beatles is number two.

29:06 Speaker 7: Oh, Team and Christmas you can buy Kiss caskets, kiss condoms.

29:13 Speaker 9: Oh yeah, with all the with all the time that

29:15 Speaker 9: he spent out doing all this rock and roll stuff.

29:18 Speaker 9: It's really a privilege to have him working for LOUD

29:20 Speaker 9: because he knows you know, he knows a lot of people, people,

29:24 Speaker 9: especially in New England. Yeah, a lot of people are

29:27 Speaker 9: starting to know who the Baboo is. And yeah, we

29:31 Speaker 9: have a great time with him, and I'm glad to

29:32 Speaker 9: have him aboard. Actually kind of took him and he's

29:36 Speaker 9: gonna be he's kind of the face of LOUD because

29:38 Speaker 9: of his character.

29:38 Speaker 5: And yeah that makes sense.

29:40 Speaker 9: Yeah, you got a little trading cards made up to

29:43 Speaker 9: the autographs, and yeah, we're having a good time with it.

29:45 Speaker 7: And that autograph card is gonna be worth so much

29:48 Speaker 7: after I'm dead. Just it's gonna be worth its own

29:50 Speaker 7: weight and papers.

29:53 Speaker 5: If you're just joining us, we've got Larry and a baboo.

29:56 Speaker 5: How do you say her last time again?

29:57 Speaker 7: Think of it?

29:58 Speaker 9: Speakovich, Yep, I got it.

30:00 Speaker 5: Oh you got it all right from a Loud Entertainment

30:04 Speaker 5: here with us in studio. And so what's kind of

30:08 Speaker 5: the long term you got I mean, you guys are

30:12 Speaker 5: running at quite a pace, right.

30:13 Speaker 7: We are, and we're about to hold the theater events.

30:16 Speaker 7: We just finished one at the Plymouth Memorial Hall.

30:19 Speaker 9: Okay.

30:20 Speaker 7: We've got the theater up in jaff in New Hampshire,

30:25 Speaker 7: the Park Theater, and we've got Marshfield Fairground. We're trying

30:28 Speaker 7: to do a three day event there in twenty twenty six.

30:30 Speaker 9: Okay. And we got a couple of locations that we

30:32 Speaker 9: play in Providence with music. We go down the Cape,

30:36 Speaker 9: we have Lauryl Hall, obviously, we're.

30:38 Speaker 7: Here in Manchester Lot and we're down at the Vault

30:41 Speaker 7: quite a bit too.

30:42 Speaker 9: Okay.

30:43 Speaker 7: I do a little MC work at places like Rascals

30:47 Speaker 7: for my good friend Frank Upolo. Okay, and there's a

30:51 Speaker 7: little plug for you, Frank.

30:52 Speaker 9: It was great. It was great to meet him. He

30:54 Speaker 9: took like a half hour of his time. The other

30:56 Speaker 9: night we went to his club to see this country

30:58 Speaker 9: line dance thing that works out all for him. Yeah,

31:00 Speaker 9: so we went to check it out and he's what

31:03 Speaker 9: gave us about a full half hour of his time

31:05 Speaker 9: just to talk about what everybody's doing. Yeah, it was Yeah,

31:09 Speaker 9: what a guy, nice guy man.

31:10 Speaker 7: Frank's whale in our polland yeah, yeah, he's definitely he's

31:15 Speaker 7: got that minus touch almost anything he touches.

31:18 Speaker 5: Now, what do you guys look for in terms of

31:19 Speaker 5: venues to whole events like like, are there are there

31:23 Speaker 5: specific things that you.

31:25 Speaker 9: Depending on the popularity of the band kind of tells

31:28 Speaker 9: you what size staity you're gonna need. Okay, it always

31:32 Speaker 9: doesn't turn out that way. Sometimes, you know, sell out

31:34 Speaker 9: a smaller club is a better thing because it's a

31:37 Speaker 9: you've got a great show and yeah it's packed and

31:39 Speaker 9: people are having fun.

31:40 Speaker 5: Better to have a small room that's full, right, then

31:42 Speaker 5: it's then a big room that's exact half empty.

31:45 Speaker 9: But you got tribute Southdale, Like, well, you can help

31:47 Speaker 9: me out with this, but like, get the let out.

31:50 Speaker 9: They're killing it. They're killing it. The fifteen twenty thirty

31:53 Speaker 9: thousand people coming out to say a tribute really yeah, wow,

31:56 Speaker 9: killing it all over the country. Wow.

31:58 Speaker 7: I held an event at the excuse me, the Lowell

32:02 Speaker 7: Memorial Theater. I was trying to get the lead out,

32:07 Speaker 7: get the lead out, and they were seventy five hundred.

32:09 Speaker 9: Yeah.

32:10 Speaker 7: Within a month they were over.

32:12 Speaker 5: Ten thousand, oh no kidding, Wow.

32:13 Speaker 7: Within three months they were twenty. They sold out the

32:17 Speaker 7: Red Rocks two Knights in a row, really bad. Took

32:19 Speaker 7: them up to forty and I believe they get the

32:22 Speaker 7: lead out is right around fifty thousand this show now,

32:26 Speaker 7: And you know, it's really interesting because there's farmer members

32:29 Speaker 7: than Led Zeppelin. They don't really even look like any

32:32 Speaker 7: of led Zeppelin members, but their music is very, very

32:35 Speaker 7: good and their promotion is top shelf.

32:38 Speaker 9: Yeah.

32:39 Speaker 5: So are they the most successful tribute band?

32:42 Speaker 7: I would believe so, Yeah, I can. I would think

32:44 Speaker 7: so because there's three that one completely unchained and yeah,

32:48 Speaker 7: completely unchanged killing the two and they're very confident about

32:52 Speaker 7: what they can draw.

32:52 Speaker 9: They come. They done a great job in Alison Chain's tribute. Uh,

32:57 Speaker 9: the one we know that when Hale that's Van Hill

33:00 Speaker 9: doing Okay. The Alison Chains band that we use a

33:03 Speaker 9: lot is called Nothing Safe. As a matter of fact,

33:05 Speaker 9: and November fifth, November twentieth, maybe you'll have to look

33:11 Speaker 9: and look up Loud Entertainment, look up Steve O and

33:17 Speaker 9: they're having a great Lane Staley tribute. Every year Steve

33:20 Speaker 9: would fly out to Seattle to do the vocals for

33:24 Speaker 9: a show out there that they have that tributes Lane Staley. Okay,

33:28 Speaker 9: and Steve actually met Lane Staley's mom and he has

33:32 Speaker 9: collaborated with all of them to bring us a great

33:35 Speaker 9: show here in Boston at the Ballroom, and it's gonna

33:39 Speaker 9: be a nothing but a tribute to Lane Staley, And

33:41 Speaker 9: it's gonna be it's gonna be multiple artists on the

33:43 Speaker 9: stage doing things like songs in him and things for him,

33:47 Speaker 9: and one special song for his mom. And yeah, it's

33:50 Speaker 9: gonna be a great show. If you're hearing Allison Chains

33:53 Speaker 9: and you want to see the memorial, you're going to

33:55 Speaker 9: see a really good a really good show. Okay, okay,

33:59 Speaker 9: very cool. Once again, it's not a concert, it's a show.

34:01 Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I gotcha, I gotcha. Do you

34:04 Speaker 5: guys have any advice for so you know, a lot

34:07 Speaker 5: of musicians listen to the show, a lot of industry people.

34:09 Speaker 5: That's that's kind of our our niche audience. I think,

34:12 Speaker 5: do you have advice for if there's a musician listening

34:15 Speaker 5: who wants to start a tribute band or maybe they

34:17 Speaker 5: want to do a solo tribute thing or whatever it is, like, like,

34:20 Speaker 5: do you have advice for how to get into it?

34:22 Speaker 5: Because obviously there's you know, when you're doing that and

34:25 Speaker 5: you're kind of doing that in tribute to someone else's

34:30 Speaker 5: artistic vision and they're what they've created. I mean, there's

34:33 Speaker 5: there's probably there's probably mistakes that people make, right when

34:36 Speaker 5: they try to do that.

34:37 Speaker 9: Yeah, when you put out a tribute to it's like,

34:40 Speaker 9: you know, you gotta be good, You got to have

34:43 Speaker 9: it down, yeah, because if you don't, it doesn't serve

34:46 Speaker 9: the purpose of what you're trying to do. Yeah, So

34:48 Speaker 9: don't don't try to jump out too quick. Get yourself

34:51 Speaker 9: together before you, you know, decide to take the stage

34:55 Speaker 9: with someone else's name, so to speak.

34:56 Speaker 5: It's uh, yeah, yeah, make sure you've really got it.

35:00 Speaker 7: Honor, because you can't do this tribute stuff halfway.

35:03 Speaker 5: Right, right? What about have you guys worked with anybody

35:07 Speaker 5: who who doesn't do it, like who kind of puts

35:11 Speaker 5: their own twist on it. Like I'll give you an

35:13 Speaker 5: example that I don't know if they're still around or not.

35:15 Speaker 5: But there was a tribute band I happen to find

35:17 Speaker 5: them on YouTube one time, a Kiss tribute band called

35:19 Speaker 5: Reason to Kiss. And they what but what they did

35:22 Speaker 5: because the name of the band was a play on

35:25 Speaker 5: the song Reason to Live, which obviously came out during

35:28 Speaker 5: the non makeup era. And what this band did was

35:31 Speaker 5: they called it reason to Kiss, and it was they

35:33 Speaker 5: were doing acoustic versions only of eighties non makeup era

35:39 Speaker 5: Kiss song. So there's really it's funny because some of

35:41 Speaker 5: these Kiss tribute bands they find like this weird niche

35:44 Speaker 5: and it was like, I was kind of fascinated by it.

35:46 Speaker 5: But that's but they're obviously doing something different. They're doing Kiss,

35:49 Speaker 5: but they're putting their own spin, their own twist on it.

35:53 Speaker 9: I mean, have you.

35:53 Speaker 5: Guys worked with anybody who does that, because there's a

35:56 Speaker 5: risk in doing that, right, because that can blow up

35:59 Speaker 5: in your face, Like, like, do any of the bands

36:01 Speaker 5: that you guys have worked with do anything like that?

36:05 Speaker 7: No?

36:05 Speaker 3: No, no, would you.

36:08 Speaker 5: If you came across someone who did do something like that,

36:10 Speaker 5: would you give them a chance or would that be too.

36:12 Speaker 9: We're always wanting to give you a chance. You just

36:14 Speaker 9: gonna show us what you got. Yeah, We'll find a

36:16 Speaker 9: stage for you. It's just you got to have it, right, Yeah.

36:19 Speaker 7: We being promoters, we can't be left with the bag,

36:23 Speaker 7: I mean right, you know. So one of the reasons

36:27 Speaker 7: that we've been able to get so far is because

36:29 Speaker 7: we've been able to work with some bands who nobody

36:32 Speaker 7: else at touch Yeah, and we go in a semi

36:36 Speaker 7: partnership with the moan, we say, look, this is it.

36:40 Speaker 7: We'll split whatever happens to play for the door.

36:43 Speaker 9: Yep.

36:45 Speaker 7: And some of the venues can't fill. We had the

36:48 Speaker 7: Jewel over here, we had two hundred in there one night.

36:52 Speaker 9: Pet White Athlete, White Snake and looks at Kill. Yeah,

36:56 Speaker 9: it looks at Kill, Motley Crue. Yeah. Yeah. We had

36:58 Speaker 9: a good time over there that.

37:01 Speaker 7: We did well.

37:02 Speaker 9: Tonight's shows got a lot of tickets sold to it. Good. Yeah,

37:05 Speaker 9: you're gonna be a great show tonight if you can

37:07 Speaker 9: get out at the Jewel in Manchester, New Hampshire. Yeah,

37:10 Speaker 9: we're going to be having Metallica and a Metallica tribute

37:14 Speaker 9: yea and a guard Smack tribute called head Smack. Okay

37:18 Speaker 9: and on on point like that's great. I can't. Yeah,

37:24 Speaker 9: it's it's nice, it's good, it's loud, it's it's real solid.

37:28 Speaker 5: Is it is it just the two bands or is

37:30 Speaker 5: there is there an opener who's not not really advertised

37:32 Speaker 5: or is it just yeah yo?

37:35 Speaker 9: Yeah. Do you guys do a lot of shows a

37:37 Speaker 9: Jewel or.

37:38 Speaker 7: At one time we're gonna do fifty, but we just

37:41 Speaker 7: have to back away and two other shows other places. Yeah,

37:45 Speaker 7: I mean, we couldn't put all eggs in one basket, right.

37:48 Speaker 9: I would say we're probably at the Jewel like twice

37:50 Speaker 9: a month, okay, maybe even three times. Sometimes. We got

37:53 Speaker 9: a big, big next Thursday night, excuse me, next Friday night.

37:59 Speaker 9: We have a national tribute coming to the Jewel called Satisfaction. Okay.

38:03 Speaker 9: They are a great rolling Stones band that like travels

41:35 Speaker 5: like from what you've observed, has the most tributes because

41:39 Speaker 5: I've always had the impression there's a lot of Motley

41:41 Speaker 5: Crue tribute bands.

41:42 Speaker 9: Am I am?

41:43 Speaker 5: I right about that?

41:43 Speaker 9: It seems it seems like they're a Motley Crew.

41:45 Speaker 5: Tribute bands are everywhere.

41:46 Speaker 9: Alison chains too, have a lot of them. Yeah, that's

41:49 Speaker 9: it's saturated with Alison chains out there. Yeah. Only there's

41:52 Speaker 9: a couple that are really good. But then you know,

41:54 Speaker 9: you got some.

41:56 Speaker 7: Some of the East coast outlets. That's the only that's

41:59 Speaker 7: the only Alice banned out here. There's only one on

42:01 Speaker 7: the West coast something. Mike Carmo is freaking I go

42:06 Speaker 7: out with other people, and when I went with Mike

42:09 Speaker 7: Carmo to see Alice Cooper, people were walking past me

42:14 Speaker 7: like I.

42:15 Speaker 9: Was a ghostly to get a picture with Alice. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Mike.

42:19 Speaker 9: Mike's great. He puts on the whole act. It's so

42:21 Speaker 9: theatrical up on the stage because he's acting out like

42:25 Speaker 9: the the meaning of the song the whole time. He's

42:30 Speaker 9: very just like Alice Cooper does. Yeah, very good with that.

42:38 Speaker 9: Is that? Did you bring that in?

42:40 Speaker 7: No?

42:41 Speaker 5: Oh, that's Jenny's. He can't steal Jenny's.
