that one you usually
fucking stretch it out a little bit longer what do you have a special guest in
the studio or something
why yes yes i do i have uh the great jim florentine in studio here who has a
new stand-up special coming
out that will be available on itunes and amazon called a simple man ladies and
gentlemen new jersey
zone jim florentine and filmed in new jersey of course and filmed in new jersey
so how does the the uh the
royalty of new jersey it's got to go bruce springsteen john bon jovi jim florentine
maybe arty lang no rich
voss rich voss how did i forget rich the duke of trenton whatever the hell he
lives south plainfield
i heard his yeah he put out a cd i heard was great yeah he's the guy's pumping
him out like a maniac
i think that's a great thing and uh i love that you're putting it on amazon i
think the more specials
in more areas so nobody gets too much power if you know what i mean there yeah
wink absolutely that's
if you don't get a good deal somewhere i'm just like you you're not owning it
you know and all that
stuff so yes i like the new model that's coming out and basically to own your
stuff you know that's what
i'm hearing through the music industry like if you own spotify and all those
other streaming sites
are basically gonna have to pay some big royalties coming soon in like two
three years just like
satellite radio before they weren't paying they were playing all the comedy
bits weren't gonna
dime then all of a sudden when they merged the government said well you have to
start paying royalties
they passed along to the consumer and now you get nice checks from sound
exchange through
because of the satellite radio and internet radio now the streaming sites the
spotify's all of those
are gonna have to start paying in about two years so if you own your about time
i know so if you own
your master if you own the master and then you also you know you're a performer
you get double checks
i saw well i saw a thing one time uh there was what was that that documentary
and that heavy metal band
that just they they came to la like the week before nirvana's album came out uh
never mind that just you know as as
as as the the the the legend goes that was the album that destroyed the whole
thing rather than 50 000
bands all singing the same song um so that failed and then they moved back to
like indiana or wherever
the fuck they were from and and hair metal still survived another three years
then they tried to get
into grunge and all this and then they were just old and they never really made
it and they made this
documentary and at one point towards the end the uh the biggest lesson in all
of it one of the the um the
members said he goes what i've learned he goes you're better to have 100
ownership and just sell
20 000 copies than you are to have no ownership and sell like 20 million copies
you'll actually make
more money if you own it that's how bad they they rip you off they just they
they rip you know they've
you know all of that all the way back to the blues guys and all that you know
every
artist they just they uh that's what that's what happened so it's and then also
yeah and also like
those 80s videos with the you know the goofy with the hot chick in it and they
were you know dancing
around on stage doing whatever those videos were like a half million to a
million dollars the budgets
on those so that came right off the top of any money they sold oh yeah you know
the record company
put that money up so just to make a good and it was the same video it was the
guys performing on stage
and it was a hot chick and he was starts out black and white yeah black and so
when the rest of the
band kicks in all of a sudden it was in color yep or if it was the ballad they
looked tired you know
yeah it was bon jovi on the bus he looked tired because he was looking out the
window and driving
now who was the first bon jovi uh because you do also do that metal show so
that was about 86 when
that album came out uh video was maybe 87 somewhere around that i think new
jersey was his big record
came out like 84 85. bond i thought slippery when wet how old well slippery
when wet was probably i
think 84. no that was like 85 86. okay yeah somewhere around there and then new
jersey came out after that
but slippery when wet is you give love a bad name yes on a dead or alive all of
that shit but i'm saying
did they start the i'm tired on the tour no journey did remember journey would
uh steve perry had that
bad mustache and faithfully oh yeah yeah remember he had the mustache yeah that
so that was that started
the original tire i'm tired i'm on tour and i'm exhausted what about when he
was at that san francisco
giant game they started playing the journey song and all he had to do was smile
and wave and then
he acted like somebody he acted like someone who was just a fan of the band
rather than the guy singing it
and he just he just went over the top with it and it was i just felt like it
was a moment that i don't
know if he's not selling tickets or whatever it's like he should have just
played that cool and he
tried to be too regular and then everybody just eviscerated him on the internet
did you ever see
that yeah yeah because i've seen him at giant i'm a big giant fan so i'll go
out there and i've seen
him at games he goes to like every game with his kids he can't hit those notes
anymore so he knows
i'm just laying low let the asian guy take over and do it you know he's just
collecting the royalties
off there you go yeah so he doesn't need to do any of that stuff he doesn't
care yeah he's he could
have been back in journey 10 years ago he's just like i'm not gonna embarrass
myself that's a smart
move so i'll just do it once at a baseball game yeah like yeah like robert plan
robert plan knows he
ain't knows he hasn't he knows he's not gonna hit those notes you know they
tuned down he sounded great
in 2007 i know he sounded you know what he they got offered 14 million dollars
for two two-hour
shows for that uh thing in the desert what was the thing a few yeah yeah like a
couple months ago
yeah they got 14 million for two two-hour shows and and robert plantered it to
everybody else in
zeppelin's like of course and he said no yeah i think he he bought a bunch of
apartment buildings
is what he did so he's making all this fucking money that's what i heard yeah i
heard he's a really
good businessman but why can't he just come out and go look this isn't going to
be like 1976 i'm not
gonna be able to hit all the notes but i'm gonna go hang on my friends we're
gonna jam have a good
time and don't expect much if you've thrown i have to be honest with you i
think he's protecting the
legacy of the band by not doing it i mean i think they did that last one i don't
think i don't think
they could do it better than they did it in 07 and he's always said if you just
you know if this is
just a money grab been there done that what does he say i'm just an old hippie
blah blah like he just
doesn't see the reason to do it now what i would do if i was the rest of them i'd
get i'd get uh
uh jason bonham on drums john paul jones and jimmy page and i would do what
journey did and who gives a
fuck well they tried to do that after two you know first of all page and plant
don't get along at all
like when they're rehearsing for that 2007 show jason bonham told the show told
the story on that
metal show when he was on they were at each other's throats page and plant they
just don't like each
other it's i think it's more a plant you know so after that they were hoping
they were going to do
a reunion and plan said once again nope i'm not doing it so they actually
auditioned steven tyler
sammy hagar that's right and miles kennedy had the gig miles is from altar
bridge and slasher solos
thing he had the gig and they were ready to do it and then they just said you
know what we can't we
let's just put it to the side we can't do that we're not going to sell this as
led zeppelin oh my god
so it was called but miles kennedy out of nowhere got that gig but did uh steven
tyler am i hearing
something in my headphones yeah it's the alarm over there oh it's the alarm
should we be concerned
about the alarm is it a fire no i'll run out there how do you know what it is
it happens all the time
oh there's a door right here oh oh oh one of these times it's going to be an
actual fire it's like when
you're in a when you're in a club and you're hitting hitting on a hot chick and
you hear the alarm go
you're like i don't give a i ain't leaving if i leave it as nine guys ready
ready to take my spot
so i don't if there's a fire you know one of those nine just pulled it too
absolutely to get me away
from her so i i understand plants thing where he doesn't want to do it he's
like i'm not i don't
want to do it from the guy's probably worth 300 million so he doesn't need to
do at this point you
just wish as a fan maybe just a few shows yeah because you know what i like
when when when jason
played in 2007 i thought he was finally himself where he was like he didn't
feel like he had to
do what his dad did but he he was thrown in he threw in so much a lot of it was
some stuff that
his dad did live but like his personality was on it i thought he really owned
it on that one so i was
kind of psyched to see them go around it's probably better it's probably better
that they don't do it
because uh you know it it didn't work well i remember that live aid when they
had the two
fucking drummers and that was only five years after they had played but i heard
page was so
fucking upset that he didn't play guitar for a while after bonham died like to
the point he had
to try to like remember how to play um that's right because then the story was
um paul rogers
came over one day and was just hanging like three four years later and said hey
dude you can pick up
the guitar let's see if we can write some songs and they started the firm after
that yeah so why doesn't
he just fucking why don't they just come up with a new name and just still do
zeppelin
play some firm stuff the fucking jimmy page project project with john paul jones
and i know what
jason well remember remember when uh page was so pissed off at uh at robert
plant that he got david
coverdale and did the coverdale page they did one of them because covered chris
robinson they went out
with him yeah robert plan hated david coverdale because he thought he was a led
zeppelin you know just a
robert plan clone he looked like him sounded like him and then pages i'm gonna
get your arch enemy and
we're gonna start our own band what do you think of that well yeah that i think
that'll do a lot of
damage yeah it definitely didn't help you get the guy 10 years younger that can
still hit the
fucking notes well van halen pulled it off because remember sammy and dave did
that tour to sammy
hagar david lee roth tour together they hated each other because the van halens
weren't talking to
either and then right after that tour to get back with sammy so i guess van halen's
like what
are they they're selling out arenas we should be doing this and they put sammy
back in the band
sammy's back in the band now no no this was a while ago but sammy and dave
because
van halen brothers were just blowing them off they go okay let's the two old
singers of van halen
let's do a tour together and they did a tour and they hated each other that
whole tour because sammy
sammy and dave hated each othe
