um by the way so recently i said to a buddy of mine um i was like you know what
i think the best
guitar sound my favorite guitar sound i ever heard on an acdc album was the for
those about
to rock album he was like really i never listened to that fucking thing and
blah blah blah blah
and uh that was the album that came out right after the back in black album
which sold you know
like fucking 90 zillion copies so that there's nowhere to go after that right
there's no fucking
way to go after that so no matter what you come up with people are gonna say it's
a flop
but i fucking love that album and um and it just so happened dean del rey from
um
oh jesus i just spaced on the name of his fucking podcast for those about to
talk
no let there be talk i knew it was one of the acdc albums
um he uh he sent me this great article on the making of the back in black album
and i i was so
crazy to me because i was old enough when that came out like i remember when
back in black came out i was
12 years old and then dirty deeds came out which was actually a bond scott and
he was already dead
obviously and then they they released that for whatever fucking reason now
looking at it
um which is crazy because bond scott dies right after the highway to hell album
and acdc gets brian johnson and it's literally like if this guy doesn't make it
they go right back to
playing pubs who knows what the fuck happens the band's over and they end up
having one of the you know
this basically a back in black album sold um more copies than anything probably
other than like
michael jackson thriller or pink floyd the wall not the wall the dark side of
the moon whatever
jesus bill get to the point here so you think the last thing you would fucking
do is after you've
established a new fucking singer is then put out some old shit by the last guy
who's now dead
so the fucking new guy has to re-establish himself all over again um i never
really even thought about
that because i just loved everything that they did and i remember um being
confused of why back in
black the back the guy on back in black sounded so different on dirty deeds
because there was no
fucking information back then there was no internet shit just came out and you're
like oh another acdc
album then you'd put it on you had no fucking idea especially at 12 i didn't
know what the
fuck was going on and then for those about the rock came out after that so
there's this great
article talking about all of that and how that was atlantic records they
thought acdc was a flash in
the pan and they thought the back in black album i don't know how the fuck you
make an album as great
as that you don't think that they have anything else left in the tank so they
were like going well
let's strike while the iron's hot and they fucking put out dirty deeds and the
band didn't want
them to it had been released i believe in australia and then also in uh in um
england under a different
fucking name i forget i used to know all this shit when i was super fucking acdc
nerd um and also i
hadn't talked on a cell phone for 20 years so i had a memory um but then for
those about the rock came
out i remember this fucking kid in gym class going like you hear new acdc album
those bunch rock i was
like i haven't heard yet he goes yeah fucking sucks i remember thinking like
what do you mean i don't
think it sucks i like that album you know i like the first song and i finally i
never bought the album
because he told me that it sucked until years later i finally was just like
fuck this man i'm gonna buy
this album and um to this day i i still listen to that like when i go
downstairs you know walk right
into my garage with my fucking gym right which is so awesome that's what i play
that's what i've been
playing lately and uh it's fucking hilarious like i literally when i go to to
my gym now which is just
like back in the day when i lived in my parents house and i just would go down
to the basement and
i would play either appetite for destruction the whole fucking album i used to
play that whole album
lift to it and then i would go play drums to it or whatever whatever album i
was into i would lift
weights to the entire album and then i would play drums to it or try to so i'm
in the middle of doing
that yeah uh yesterday it was fucking uh you know benching day your favorite
fucking day the only only
fucking exercise you really keep track of what weight you're putting up and i
had a flashback i fucking
i was half asleep you know writing all day and i'd try to get the workout in
before i go into the
writer's room so i don't become a fucking fat pasty fuck and um so i had the 45s
on either side
right i do a set and then i was going i thought i grabbed 10s right to just do
155 and i wasn't paying
attention and i picked it up off the bars like wow this feels really fucking
heavy and i just brought
it down to my chest and i was like i couldn't lift it back i grabbed 25 so i
went up to 185
which you know i mean when you get that's a lot of weight for me i mean that's
more than what i weigh
so i'm sitting there i got it on my chest and nia's asleep and i'm going nia nia
and i can't get it off
it took me back to the days when i was living at home with my parents and i'd
be going mom mom and
she'd be going i'll be down there in a minute and i'd be down there like with
fucking like you know
185 190 sitting on my fucking pasty chest trying to get it off i have 200
pounds was always like i was
always trying to get up to that but i was just i'm a middleweight man like
seriously if i wasn't such
a fucking booze bag like i probably should weigh like between 160 165 instead
of a buck 80 but that
last 15 pounds i'm telling you is nothing but scotch and pizza right so i got
this shit sitting on my
chest and i'm like holy fuck i don't i i didn't have clips on it but i didn't
want to fucking i didn't
want to dump it off to one side you know when you do that and then you get
fucking whipped around
because i was worried i was gonna fly into the mirror right so i ended up
having to roll the thing
down like back in the day and there's that brutal part where it gets right on
your fucking hip bones
and then you got to do the little up and over your junk before all the weight
rests on your fucking
thighs now it's the worst i i hadn't done it so long and the closer it gets to
your kneecaps
and then finally you got to do that fucking thing where it just it just scrapes
your knee bones and
then boom hits the floor and uh yeah i did that as a a 47 soon to be 48 year
old man
