Episode 15 - Do It Live!
b'It\\u2019s the New Style for the New Year\\n\\nYou\\u2019ll notice a change immediately during the theme song; an abrupt belch which is a sign of something new. We\\u2019re giving this whole live recording thing a shot and you\\u2019ll hear everything in this episode warts-n-all including Aaron and Chris stumbling over words, getting tongue tied, and sound effects going off without warning. It\\u2019s as unprofessional as it gets but at least it\\u2019s entertaining. Plus, Chris doesn\\u2019t have to play around with hours of editing so hopefully this will be a welcome change that will provide more content in the future.\\n\\nWe start out talking about what we got for KISSMAS including Aaron\\u2019s review of the Ace Frehley autobiography, \\u2018No Regrets\\u2019 and the cool new Rocksmith game.\\n\\nWe update Vinnie Vincent\\u2019s output for the holidays. Impressive!\\n\\nChris gives a shout out to Cassius Morris from the Creatures of the Net podcast who recently did an impromptu interview with Eric Singer who called in during his live stream. Cassius is only 13 years old but is already on his way to becoming a big name in podcasting.\\xa0 Congrats to Cassius!\\n\\nFlashback Time\\n\\nWe share a cool radio commercial advertising the Sex Pistols tour of America in 1977 which leads to a discussion of the Sex Pistols impact in music as well as their reputation rubbing off on other punk bands like the Ramons. We also touch on a quick discussion of the G.G. Allin documentary Hated which documents all of the fecal-smearing, heroin-induced debauchery leading up to Allin\\u2019s death.\\n\\nRamones in Kindergarten\\n\\nChris shares his thoughts on a recent video that\\u2019s been sweeping youtube of a kindergarten class singing the Ramones\\u2019 classic \\u2018Judy is a Punk.\\u2019 It makes you feel all snuggly inside and gives hope to the world. There\\u2019s nothing that will renew your faith in mankind like a bunch of kids singing \\u201cperhaps they\\u2019ll die\\u201d\\u2026.oh yeah!\\n\\nCorabi Rocks for Tots & a Cinderella Story\\n\\nChris and Aaron reflect on their recent outing to see John Corabi\\u2019s Toys for Tots where they got to talk with Corabi as well as Jeff Labar from Cinderella; fresh off his hip-replacement surgery and filled us in on the possibility (or lack thereof) of new music from Cinderella. We recap the setlist and describe our trek over to a hipster bar invaded by metalheads with the strangest mix of songs from the jukebox you\\u2019ve ever heard.\\n\\nVan Halen & the Little People\\n\\nChris & Aaron discuss the recent announcement of Van Halen\\u2019s new album and new single \\u2018Tattoo\\u2019 due next week. We\\u2019re totally excited to hear a song about the little guy from Fantasy Island (thanks to the guys from From Out of Nowhere for that joke). We also bemoan how much cooler this news would have been with Michael Anthony involved.\\n\\nShameless Self-Promotion 101 & The Days of Axl\\u2019s Life\\n\\nThe guys give their take on the recent induction of Guns N Roses to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with a discussion of Eddie Trunk\\u2019s recent grilling of the CEO of Hall of Fame as well as the big question of who is going to show up for the ceremony. Will it be the old guys or the new guys? Or, will Axl\\u2019s ego be big enough on its own to fill the whole stage. They wind up rambling quite a bit so we hope you dig listening to these guys yack on and on about Axl and co.\\n\\nChris & Aaron make the announcement of their expanding roles in the podcasting world as they will be contributing members of Podkisst, the leading KISS podcast as well as some contributions to the great Mars Attacks podcast for their Class Albums series.\\n\\nThat\\u2019s our first foray into the recording live thingy. We promise we\\u2019ll get better at it. In the meantime, feel free to laugh at all of the mistakes.\\n\\nSmell ya later!\\n\\nLearn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices'
