but anyway you can see you can tell i didn't get much fucking sleep last night
it was kind of uh
you know then i came back and i was watching all the all the old fucking music
videos but like
um in the best way ever like that music took me all the way back not in a sad
way at all
just thinking like man i went to these fucking shows and uh i remember like
it was just never ending that was the thing because albums were coming out all
the time
in the worcester centrum and the providence civic center in the boston garden
with the three big venues
near where i where i lived in massachusetts and i got i don't know how many
fucking times it went
down to those things um and i still felt like i didn't see enough bands and the
first time you go
you're all sitting like going like oh fuck am i gonna get fucked up here
somebody gonna stab me
you know you hear all these crazy uh stories about going to concerts and then
uh you know you get a
couple under your belt you're comfortable and uh yeah it's the 80s you just got
completely fucked up
you went to the show and then you drove home somebody else did it was that
aspect of it was stupid but
that's basically what happened and as you got closer and closer to the venue
there was just more long-haired
people uh more metal kids just open containers weed smoke coming out of cars it
was fucking nuts
like people standing on the side of the road pissing as you got closer and
closer to the venue it was
fucking it was fucking all the fucking all the heavy metal chicks just fucking
dressed like hookers and
shit i mean it was just fucking wild it was really wild like i'm sure like you
know
whatever the hell kids do nowadays i'm gonna sound over they go to fucking raves
or some dj thing and
everybody does molly you're fucking rubbing up against each other like a bunch
of stray dogs
i don't know every generation does it a little bit different but it's kind of
the same
thing though right bunch of kids heading to a venue everybody getting fucked up
and then whatever that
music is it's just permanently stamped in your fucking soul for the rest of
your life like as much as i try
you know and stay up on music which i obviously
am not like um
you know i just found out about that bad bunny like i saw uh some venue i was
doing bad bunny was
either advertised there or was gonna be
going somewhere in the city or whatever i was like bad bunny what the fuck is
bad bunny so i was sitting there
looking at that and just watching like you know like
dude plays like huge venues and watching just like 40 000 people going nuts and
it's just like
i had never even heard of the person just like jesus christ there's no after a
while there's just no way to keep up
but um even the amount that i did try to keep up
like i hung in there i think probably until the early 2000s
and then there's this whole like
i don't know what there's like a 10 year period there
where i just stopped trying and then i by the time i came back it was just kind
of a wrap
but um
during that whole time of like
like
somewhere between
like panic at the disco remember those bands
like the strokes
um
there was another one i can't remember their names
and i was just thinking when i was at that show going like jesus christ those
some of those fucking people
they're 20 years in
like what the fuck
what hell
billy nostalgic here
um anyway so that show
that uh
joan jett poison motley crew and uh
uh def leppard show
uh i think their last u.s. stop
is not
not tonight it's tomorrow in las vegas and i was talking to some of the um
guys uh
who were on that tour and they were saying how
they take like
the rest of the year off and then like in january to february it starts back up
again
going all through south america and everything so
and everything that's fucking amazing and i'm
psyched for all those bands that they're all going to go out and make some
fucking
great money and all of that shit and that they can still do it this far into
their careers is uh
pretty goddamn cool so anyways if you get a chance if you're somehow anywhere
near vegas i know this is a short notice um
i hope you can catch the show because it's just a fucking great great show
great show everybody just a different vibe but everyone was having like fun
like when we went up on stage i feel like such an asshole i was so busy like i
wanted to see all the drum kits you know i guess i walked right by joan jett
who's literally standing there with the guitar
and she looked at bartnick and she goes hey man she goes have fun today or
something like that and i was just thinking like that's kind of like what it
was all about
before um
it got like all fucking sad morose when like the the grunge guys came in
i mean granted it was probably an emotion that was completely ignored in the 80s
sadness
i would blame the cocaine um yeah everybody was up it was the up 80s and you
know it's funny i remember a long time ago i saw in like vh1
um one of the members of salt and pepper was talking about
doing you know doing their shows in the 80s and the lineups they were on
and she was just like yeah you know back then it was there wasn't all of this
you know
uh beefing between you know mcs and everything she was like it was just fun we
were just out there having fun
and um
i'm trying to think i wonder why that was
it was like why the 80s was just like
this like
awesome and ridiculous level of fun
and then the 90s came in like the fucking hangover
like hey just to remind you
you know
i think that's why it took me so long
or i was so late to like
like i always liked alice in chains and i always liked soundgarden
but like um
you know it took me a minute with nirvana
because nirvana knocked all my favorite bands
i've talked about this a million times
off of the top
ten on uh mtv back when that was a thing
and uh
just going from all these fun songs to their shit i was just like
like god god what what who brought the fucking wet blanket in here like what's
going on
it's like jesus christ man have a fucking beer
you know put on some fingerless gloves and go drive a camaro like what is the
fucking problem
little did i realize that i was in a walking depression that was going to last
for another 15 fucking years that's what's so funny to me
like now i go back and i listen to nirvana i'm like this fucking band is
amazing
and i love i love never mind in uh in utero and uh i don't know bleach i never
really got into that okay i didn't get into that one but like now i get it it's
like oh yeah all right
uh i guess they were making some valid points about the human experience
i just probably wasn't ready to hear it yeah it was a way yeah i think that's
what it was because a band it came out and i was like i i was like 23 when it
came out which is a weird fucking age
you know you turn 21 oh fuck i'm legal i can drink now right and then you turn
22 and you're like whoa
well there's nothing you know i've got my driver's license i could drink
i should have graduated college i'm still a freshman
and with 23 hit i remember i was just like
oh this isn't gonna stop like this is just like i'm gonna be all these fucking
ages i'm gonna hopefully
you know god will i didn't look at it like god willing back then but you were
just like
i just remember like uh like 24 was a fucking when i was like in my teens 24
was just like wow man
that guy should be like married with kids 25 26 27 was just like what the fuck
um
and now what's funny is now i'm 54 and when i i talked to uh you know people in
their 30s like
i mean i know they're adults but they're like kids to me because it's just such
a big
still like a huge gap um
you know what i mean like if you're talking about day-to-day it's
like when you're talking to somebody younger than you
like the gap of that you can talk about just gets smaller and smaller the
bigger the the age gap
gets you know unless it's like your kids because then you're just like
you know fully invested wanting to know what's going on in their lives and all
