More solo than song!

S01 E30

Some songs appear only to exist to allow the band’s guitarist to properly show off. But is this a good thing or a bad thing?

What happens when the bit of the song with singing and whatnot is pitifully short, but the solo is far too long? Join Dr Sam and Andrew as we dig into our favourite tracks that are ‘more solo than song’.

For this episode, we are excluding Prog Rock from our choices, mainly because there are sub-genres of Prog full of bands who write tracks that are 99.9999992% guitar solo.

Have a listen and get in touch to let us know if you agree or disagree with our choices. Let us know if there are some amazing examples of songs that are ‘more solo than song’.

Andrew Culture
Hey cool kids can you hear that rustling noise we’ve got storm warnings here in the Uk so we might get thunderstorm during this episode. Oh what is the episode who am I my name’s Andrew culture and this is the beat motel podcast and I’m here with Dr Dr Sam and

00:14.61
Dr Sam
But that rustling noise may be the that you hear maybe the dishwasher on beside me who so professional. This is a high budgetd operation.

00:23.11
Andrew Culture
Ah, do you know what? I I I put our dishwasher on which is just behind me just it just finished light effect.

00:29.50
Dr Sam
What was that what was that band that made a album out of re they Sampled a dishwasher’s cycle and they remixed the entire thing to make one album I think I told you about that I think you really liked it. What was that.

00:41.82
Andrew Culture
Um, oh um I don’t know but I’ve done it I’ve recorded the dishwasher because if you get the plates in the right sort of part. You get quite a decent rhythmic rhythmic noise I thought you were going to suggest it was Harah Torpedo Do you ever seen them.

00:50.14
Dr Sam
Um.

00:58.82
Andrew Culture
They play with like white goods on stage and they do a brilliant version of um total clips of the heart which I will put in the show notes because why not but it inspired my band to do use white goodds on stage and we found out a chest freezer actually makes a really decent kick and.

00:58.98
Dr Sam
Um, know.

01:17.67
Andrew Culture
I was just wearing a bin bag and nothing else I don’t even know if I had pants on and I was playing a gas cooker and the the very start of the song I hit the back of the gas cooker not realizing it was glass I hit it with a hammer and glass just shattered absolutely everywhere right? I’m just going to make a note.

01:23.98
Dr Sam
Um, sweaty.

01:35.54
Dr Sam
Um, so nice noise that.

01:37.70
Andrew Culture
Right? So if you’re not listened to beat motel before welcome aboard um I apologize in advance for everything not just on this podcast but anything that’s gone wrong in your life I’ll just take personal responsibility for that I feel like I’m in a cleansing and healing mode. Ah, Dr Sam is a lovely man who lives in Helsinki I’m a human who lives in Ipswich and we talk about music and we have themes and today’s theme oh thought you’re gonna say you look like you.

02:07.35
Dr Sam
Is ah no I was actually trying to find out what I was why select for for this week this themes this theme with today was your your choice I have to say because I thought I had a good list of stuff but it took me ages to come up with stuff anyway.

02:09.35
Andrew Culture
Ordering up there.

02:24.87
Dr Sam
Today’s stuff is song of solo.

02:27.78
Andrew Culture
Yeah, now I came up with this. Um, after hearing one of my picks so we get 4 picks each um, one of my picks on the radio and every time I hear it I think this song really is just a solo with a little bit of singing tact on the front in the end and.

02:34.51
Dr Sam
You.

02:44.91
Andrew Culture
I Wonder how that sometimes comes about whether the guitarist is the band leader or they just think well nuts to writing more words and or I mean let let’s rule out progue for a start because progue. It’s kind of give kind of isn’t it like it. It is ah a vehicle for a solo but in pop the ah.

02:56.72
Dr Sam
Um, yeah, are.

03:03.92
Andrew Culture
Um, unnecessarily a long solo can but I can hear your dishwashing like.

03:07.68
Dr Sam
Yeah, let’s just change the cycle. This is this is really professional. Um I can stop it should I stop it.

03:16.92
Andrew Culture
Yeah, gone go go stop it if that’s if you can yeah we we don’t do that much editing on this. Um I am actually a professional podcast editor would you believe but I don’t don’t bother with this one. It’s the it’s a bit like a.

03:24.87
Dr Sam
Are.

03:32.86
Andrew Culture
The cobbler’s kids having bad shoes or whatever the phrase is.

03:36.24
Dr Sam
This after my criticism of ah that Band’s putting out any shit they can for as long. It feels hypocritical now.

03:46.55
Andrew Culture
Ah, yes, brilliant, right? So we we start most episodes with the riff of the week and we get 1 each so Dr Sam I’m going to play your riff first and before without revealing what it is I’ve got to say I was really surprised when you suggested this. But then I heard it and I think I might know why you like it. So here we go I’m just going to play it first.

04:39.63
Andrew Culture
So who is that Dr Sam.

04:41.50
Dr Sam
I Was my co my chemical romance with a song na na na na na na na na na na na na.

04:48.51
Andrew Culture
Did you read that the number of Nas off a piece of paper there very much.

04:51.72
Dr Sam
Yes, ah I mean more accurate. It’s none on our bracket open brackets none on ah 9 on na none on our close brackets. Yeah, it.

05:00.25
Andrew Culture
We got to get it right? Ah now I I’m only surprised you you chose that because as anyone who’s been listening to the podcast where I will know but we we tend to kind of kind of go quite metal or quite quite extreme or quite alternative in a lot of ways and my chemical romance. I Never thought of them as as particularly alternative. Um I tell you I saw them at reading Festival Once the organizers put my chemical romance on after slayer on the main stage So Slayer fans.

05:30.20
Dr Sam
Um, oh yeah.

05:40.40
Andrew Culture
Dr Sam and I we’ve both seen the slayer Alexandra Palace and the average slayer fan I’m sure they’re wonderful, but the day I can remember during the day. It was mostly people walking around go fuck it’slayer and like I remember stood in the ur I was having a we and like both blokes either side of me independently rude fucking slayer.

05:41.13
Dr Sam
But.

05:51.12
Dr Sam
Yeah.

05:59.70
Andrew Culture
So Kind of um, a passionate and enthusiastic fan Base. So when my chemical romance came on of the slayer. It was basically all the slayer fans were still there watching watching my chemical romance and they didn’t like my chemical romance and this is before they before they got. Pretty big.

06:17.38
Dr Sam
But slay slayer fans are sort of notorious for being. Ah you know slayer or nothing when slayer is on and um, and yeah I mean um, so. I yeah I I just don’t get slaer I get my chemical romance so much more than a get slaer. Um I like I like I like so some slaer albums I think that the the trilogy they did in the late 80 s up and early 90 s are amazing.

06:37.22
Andrew Culture
I mean hey I’m inclined to agree.

06:49.89
Dr Sam
In in some ways I Certainly think um, what seasonars in the abyss is bet is the best thing they did but it all sounds a bit flat to me and um I think they write in a may like. Second to only probably I owe me in writing evil soundunding Riffs. Um Io me of black sabafas. But anyway this is my chemical romance fuck slayer and.

07:15.12
Andrew Culture
I I was at that gig and I went out for a smoke and I spoke to a lady in the smoking area and she said what do you think I said I don’t really get it and she said do not let anyone hear you say that like you won’t get out alive and just to tap tap off.

07:32.60
Dr Sam
Um.

07:34.17
Andrew Culture
Ah, sort of top up on the reading Festival Story A lot of piss bottles got thrown or a lot of everything got thrown and my chemical romance stuck it out and by the end, the whole crowd was going nuts now I’d like to think they were going nuts because my chemical romance won them over. But I think probably the slayer fans just left created of boy.

07:48.37
Dr Sam
Ah, yeah, well I I got reintroduced I mean I sort of have a dalliance of interest in my kima per Romans because they were sort of put together just as I lost interest in mainstream.

07:51.86
Andrew Culture
So my chemical romance.

08:05.10
Dr Sam
Rock music in the early two thousand s they sort of became the poster boys of emo just and um for for better or worse for them and um and then ah my my friend Lawrence who’s a few years older than us his kids. Got into my chemical romance and he said have you heard them and he said he went and he took his kids to see them and at least 2 of them see them and he said they’re great and so I sort of had a sort of it opened my mind to them and then I had ah a listen to their track from the sort of the black. Parade. Whatever it’s called um, they’ sort of magnum opus ah, third album and it’s called ah so it just made me laugh a lot. It’s it’s a great It’s just like they they tried to write a great rock and roll song and I think they succeeded in many ways. It’s called teenagers. And the chorus goes teenagers scare the living shit out me which I think is hilarious thing for someone who is sort of the poster boy of sort of teenage emo punks to sort of be shouting out that basically ah the way I took it the way I read it is basically he goes I find my friends a little scary. Um. And then and so I like I like that album I had I was sort of open to them now I’ve been reading reading the book sellout by Dan Ozzie Dan Ausie was ah the co-author of ah Laura Jane Graces um autobiography and.

09:35.20
Andrew Culture
All right.

09:38.49
Dr Sam
Um, this book I think it needs a good editing I think he needs to I don’t know there’s sort of like an editor’s voice missing in the book but he’d make he he did some fantastic interviews with these bands that sold went from independent labels in America and sold out to big. Big ones so it just made me interested in like oh what was the last chemical romance album because that’s one of the last fancy covers and then that song comes on and it’s so over the top. It’s like that everything is that sort of like spinal tap thing if we’re going to do sort of a big pop song. We’re going to do it so over the top that it’s just going to be absolutely ridiculous. And yeah, the guitar solo reminds me of you know they’re making so many references to queen in that guitar solo. But the fact that the guitar solo is also just.

10:23.40
Andrew Culture
Um, Queen yeah.

10:33.61
Dr Sam
The court backing the chorus backing vocals na and na is hilarious as Well. It’ but it’s done So. Well I mean they wrote a fucking tune and they hammered it home again and again and again and you don’t get sick of it. It’s a really annoying I Imagine if you’re like the parent of a kid who likes my chemical romance. Because that’s all you fucking hear. But it’s in in isolation, it’s brilliant.

10:57.45
Andrew Culture
I need to dig into them more because my first exposure to them was I’m not okay. Is it honestly I’m not okay or whatever. It’s and the video for that is just superb. We still watch it now. It’s one of our danger me and my wife it’s one of our danger songs if we’re.

11:06.78
Dr Sam
Ah, yeah, yeah, but yeah.

11:16.19
Andrew Culture
If we stayed up too late. We know that if we watch either system of a down video or I’m not okay by my chemical romance then we’ve gone past the point at which we should have gone to bed like yeah if we’re doing that. So anyway, we’ve spoken for a long time about my chemical romance list I’m going to play um a track that I mean.

11:26.11
Dr Sam
Just went.

11:36.47
Andrew Culture
As a podcaster guy I’m going to say yeah I chose my riff of the week because it’s ah in keeping with the theme of more solo than song. But it’s not because I’m not that really, but this is a danger riff. And a danger riff is a song that when I hear the riff it’s going to take me fucking days if not weeks to get this out my head I will be walking around the house humming this riff like a black sabbath fan a black sabbath gig because they hum the riffs but at least they hum they sing the riffs anyway. I’m warbling here’s a riff.

12:43.90
Andrew Culture
Can you name the band.

12:46.79
Dr Sam
I still bobbing my head. No I know I can I could this it is it something along the lines of I don’t really listen to Caius but kaius.

12:48.87
Andrew Culture
Oh I thought you thought you heard saying yes noting.

13:03.68
Andrew Culture
I got into them after discovering Caius um fu manu so they they were very much much around you know at grunge. Basically they were sort of an outlier of grunge.

13:08.28
Dr Sam
Ah.

13:17.67
Dr Sam
Yeah.

13:17.92
Andrew Culture
And they are about the most californian stoner metal band. They could not be more californian the way they look the way they sound the song what the songs are about but that just what a lovely bass riff to start a song with that’s just Boom Doodoooodoo and it’s called Grendel because.

13:28.65
Dr Sam
Spring is.

13:37.33
Andrew Culture
Ah, kind of has it’s called Grendel Commerce snowman which is slightly disproving my ah my statement that everything about Fu Manchu is veryy California I can’t imagine there are many snowmen in California when said Grendel this is like a north nordic mythical beast isn’t it.

13:37.52
Dr Sam
Point. Ah.

13:46.81
Dr Sam
How many grendels are there.

13:54.45
Dr Sam
Who.

13:56.14
Andrew Culture
Yeah, Grendel Grend or Grendel’s ah a saxon myth possibly a big lad with under know.

14:05.10
Dr Sam
Mythological cle creature oh we should know this because it’s ah, a character in the anglosaxction Anglo shaction anglo Saxon Epic poem beowulf

14:16.70
Andrew Culture
But Beow wolf. Oh God of course it is ah that’s paint.

14:21.60
Dr Sam
we’re we’re not we’re not we’re not british enough Andrew we should go back to go back to empire school.

14:27.14
Andrew Culture
Go back to Britain school right? So that’s cool. That’s the riff of the week so we ought to crack on with the air more solo than song I’m going to start with one of yours and this is I’m gonna I’m going to introduce it because I don’t know why this is the melvins with skin horse.

15:16.50
Andrew Culture
I Think the drums were playing a constant drum solo there as well. Ah now I Yes stupidly when when we were talking solos and and we both had to pick our songs I only thought of guitar.

15:20.45
Dr Sam
Well no, that’s the point. That’s the that’s the is that a song or is that a solo.

15:35.75
Andrew Culture
Dr Sam you’re a fucking Genius You should be like a doctor or something.

15:36.95
Dr Sam
I have a weird way I I found trying to pick drummers a lot easier than trying to pick who dominate a song rather than trying to pick guitars who dominates song I don’t because when you rule out as you said, if you rule out prog rock it’s actually found it quite hard. But. I fucking love that song because it is sort of like it starts with this really quiet sort of thing and delrover barely sounds like you can play at the beginning of it and then he just interrupts and he erupts for like ah this the solar goes on for like another 2 minutes or something like that and the chords never change. You know, ah and the vocals die away. But the drum sorrow just goes and goes and goes and delrover just goes nuts and he’s just a monster that man he’s just incredible. Um, and I hope he’s I saw you on the instagrams that he was doing better.

16:32.71
Andrew Culture
Out here.

16:32.99
Dr Sam
He he had surgery recently and I hope he’s doing well. Um and it was just the first song that came to my mind that where an instrument completely dominated over the rest of the song and.

16:48.90
Andrew Culture
You’re completely you’re completely right and 1 of the things I really like doing this thing where we each pick a track is that you you constantly surprised me when I saw the melvins I thought right? so melvins like 1 of the other bands we’re going to listen to later I won’t give away just yet just to try and build some sort of suspense. The melvins are one of those. Bands that are the guitarist is such a big personality in the band if not, you know, most of the band most of the sounds so I thought yeah so saw you’d picked a Melbourne’s track thought yep, there’s loads of Melbourne songs where the guitar just rips along and and that is the song and then I listened to it when I was capturing the audio and I thought. What on earth has he chosen this I didn’t even think about the drums. Oh my god Melbourne is the drums is. It’s a huge thing isn’t it.

17:30.34
Dr Sam
Yeah, Del crove is a monster I don’t you know.

17:35.14
Andrew Culture
Is it gro is so is that is that him by himself or is that a Melvin’s flavor when the with so two drummers.

17:43.27
Dr Sam
No, that’s that is him by himself in the late 90 s yeah.

17:46.74
Andrew Culture
my that that’s a cracking song. Good choice. Good choice as ever listener head over to the beat motel dot code at u uk o see the show notes and that’s where we list all the songs because otherwise I’d forget them right now. My first choice is the whole reason. I came up with the idea for this episode because it is bonkers.

18:41.73
Dr Sam
And now.

18:41.83
Andrew Culture
Doesn’t go anywhere really? Ah so that’s the eyes see iceley brothers with who’s that lady and that song is like 90% guitar solo. It really is. There’s very little else in that song and it it. That’s a pop song. You know that that’s.

18:55.42
Dr Sam
Yeah.

18:57.57
Andrew Culture
That’s not wrong that is that is pop pop pop pop and I don’t know why that solo is so long but it is.

19:03.83
Dr Sam
Yeah, but that’s the question about a lot of them The no what send emails to these people. Why the solo software it just it goes on a bit you know.

19:08.71
Andrew Culture
But which we were not going to answer. We’re not that kind of podcast. We just got leave a hanging.

19:18.75
Andrew Culture
I was wondering if because it’s mid 70 s whether it’s just cocaine is the answer.

19:25.68
Dr Sam
Well I mean that’s a fair point. Um, it has some sonic similarities to the well-known cocaine bands of the day. Ah which they probably were one and it was flowing freely. It would seem.

19:36.41
Andrew Culture
Um, but.

19:41.26
Dr Sam
If that sound is anything to go with it I’m thinking of Carla Centana actually there’s a latin vibe to the backing of it and I don’t want to offend anybody who likes natural latin music.

19:41.57
Andrew Culture
Who who you thinking of Doobie Brothers or Fleetwood Mac or really, that’s that’s interesting. You say that.

19:59.90
Dr Sam
But there’s sort of like a maybe a white Latin aspect to it. Let’s be offensive I’m I’m crossing Borders I apologize to everybody sorry I’m I’m I’m I’m saying sorry for everything as well. Sorry guys.

20:03.85
Andrew Culture
Wow right? Let’s um.

20:13.26
Andrew Culture
Just sorry for yeah, everything all war natural disasters right? Let’s let’s move on to your again another another act that I I know you love but I was very surprised you chose because I.

20:17.31
Dr Sam
Yeah, and maybe I’ll I’ll turn the what dishwasher again on again.

20:32.26
Andrew Culture
Absolutely wouldn’t think of them as as being a band that does anything long or anything kind of anyway here we go.

20:37.47
Dr Sam
While they didn’t do anything wrong.

21:11.40
Andrew Culture
Who was that Dr Sam.

21:14.33
Dr Sam
That was a minute men with cut and as you said nothing think that was the maybe that was one of the first songs I ever wrote that lasted over 2 minutes um yeah and basically it is the Dr Same. It’s like guitar riff.

21:21.62
Andrew Culture
Wow.

21:30.69
Dr Sam
Verse or it’s solo and the solo lasts twice as long as any of the sort of other moments. It feels like but it’s also dboon is you know you get all these lines of like amazing Ka Guitarris and the guy just again I’m going to use this word a lot in this program is our monster. Um, and yeah, the minute men were this sort of absolute unique proposition within punk rock completely because they sort of mix this just lack of any attention span with.

21:50.33
Andrew Culture
Um.

22:08.91
Dr Sam
Just the most insane ideas and they came up with this completely unique sort of Sonic sound that just is incredible and then on top of that you had these musicians who could really really really play and sometimes ah they showed off.

22:26.00
Andrew Culture
That ah, well good the bass playing there is is a is a journey. It’s an absolute ethnic thing. It’s it is yeah and I really need to look up more minute I mean I’ve seen Mike what lie and went oh that was really good. So something is still no means no do we see no means no but Atp.

22:30.44
Dr Sam
Yeah, yeah.

22:45.20
Andrew Culture
Like where how about.

22:45.80
Dr Sam
No no, he’s never never played Atp. Ah maybe they’re too I don’t know they never became darlings of the counterculture. Ah like the like Mike what became in a way I love mike what? Um and I think he.

22:58.94
Andrew Culture
It just seems like a decent human being as well literally.

23:03.21
Dr Sam
He is he is and I think in a weird way because he was attached to that Sst thing and he kept plowing on and because he’s always been experimental. He’s sort of been revived ssd was ah, kind of the label run by black flag. Um.

23:11.21
Andrew Culture
What you mean ssd.

23:18.81
Andrew Culture
Well oh and no I’m getting so confused I there’s a a. There’s a metal label with a very similar sounding name. But oh no I move on derailing it.

23:22.79
Dr Sam
But no.

23:34.95
Dr Sam
Yeah, yeah, ssd is an amend American Independent Record Label Formed in 1978 in Long Beach California by Greg Gin and that was the home of like ah.

23:49.38
Dr Sam
That you get hosker do basically it was um Cook Bain’s record collection. It would seem um and yeah you get minute men hosker do meet puppet sound garden sonic youth dinosaur junior um.

24:04.73
Andrew Culture
Apply me. That’s a hell of a but like a list.

24:10.52
Dr Sam
Yeah, um, and the minute men to me stand out by mile as being like 1 of the weirdest in it but most interesting and I I to me, they’ve always sort of proved this point about a lot of the best ah music is that you don’t need a big get to the riff. Get to the idea do the idea gone don’t repeat the idea too much which I think a lot of stuff does too often. That’s what I don’t I like I mean like I you know I like short songs.

24:36.39
Andrew Culture
Yeah, but absolutely.

24:43.51
Andrew Culture
I’ve looked up the layblower thinking of but I’m going to tell you just because it shows how fucking dumb I am um one of my bands we supported you know Orange Goblin or Bluesy stone or rock kind of thing that nice guy giant singer he he.

24:50.97
Dr Sam
Yes, yeah.

24:59.20
Andrew Culture
We’re and we’re backstage and we were um there roaddie had come in said look yeah we’ we’ve been given so much beer if you guys want some just help yourself and the sink the singer bowled in and he went. He’s of the roaddie’s name. He said look make sure none of these ****** Nick any of our beer right? Otherwise I’ll fucking sort them out.

25:05.89
Dr Sam
There.

25:16.88
Andrew Culture
Ah, we all just went oh shit at each event Ha Jo Gig then he was like like super lovely person they they all They all were the whole band were just really nice. But at that gig they were they were telling me um you know this thing about secrets for publicity that the music world has as in.

25:21.98
Dr Sam
Um.

25:35.71
Andrew Culture
Ah, when I when I was ah um, bright in the corners and Ips switchch somebody said right? This is a secret. Don’t tell anyone but that that band you’re watching is just signed to domino. You know you sort of give out a secret because you know it’s goingnna the best way to spread news and he was like don’t tell anyone but we’ve just signed a new deal and.

25:42.87
Dr Sam
That.

25:52.41
Andrew Culture
I thought it was with SsT which is why I was surprised because orange gold and sst I be it just doesn’t make sense. No it sanctuary was the label sin kid. So at least I got white one letter right? Jesus man right? Oh wow I’m my.

25:57.30
Dr Sam
Yeah.

26:05.20
Dr Sam
2 letters. There’s a t in the sanctuary. Let say it dripping out your a last week.

26:11.34
Andrew Culture
Intellects just dripping out my ears now. Let let’s move on before I God it’s been lively down there the last few days I don’t know what’s going I think I’ve got a cold but’s just just just only in my heart.

26:24.68
Dr Sam
So.

26:28.49
Andrew Culture
Right? So um.

26:33.28
Andrew Culture
I was thinking of for the next choice we’re talking about kind of 1 instrument being dominant or a solo being dominant or a band member just really asserting himself and I what I was having a thought what songs have solos that. Just have nothing to do with the main song. You know you get a song you get you get a song and then halfway through the song absolutely changes and the rest of the song’s a big long solo I’ve actually got 2 of these choices. But this is the first one and I see I’m gonna ask you to guess.

26:52.26
Dr Sam
Try a second one? yes.

27:10.22
Andrew Culture
Who this is.

27:17.91
Andrew Culture
I Think you’ll get it to be honest.

27:46.40
Dr Sam
No, don’t know sounds very 6 These.

27:46.24
Andrew Culture
Can he give you know that is oh 1970 um it’s Santana with black magic woman and the actual the actual song is go guard a black magic woman.

27:54.63
Dr Sam
Okay.

28:02.50
Andrew Culture
do do do. do there’s no relation to that solo at all. But my my dad um my dad really liked Santana work probably still does so we we heard we heard that I heard that so ah, no set I think the like 60 s and seventy s santana I I really like.

28:14.68
Dr Sam
I’m I’m sorry.

28:21.84
Andrew Culture
But that that solo I know it’s so so well and the reason being is that I don’t know if because my dad’s Christian but any time he made a tape. He wouldn’t record the actual main part of the song about black magic woman I don’t know if because it offended him or something so either listened to sad tather and then.

28:39.60
Dr Sam
Ah.

28:40.42
Andrew Culture
He’d always do a fading bless him on the tape but that was the only bit of that song I ever knew it was just because the album would bip along you driving around the car or whatever listen to music on tape and the solo is the bit only bit he ever played. They go that. That’s my example of the end of the song just being a solo.

28:48.20
Dr Sam
Ah.

29:00.38
Andrew Culture
Just for the hell of it.

29:00.91
Dr Sam
That’s fascinating I mean like that’s fascinating. There’s like I How that’s ah, interesting sort of aspect of like how your.

29:14.76
Dr Sam
How are you coming to a piece of music change. You know the medium that you come to changes how you relate to it and you know it’s like this so amazing thing to think that um your dad liked Santana enough so recall the only the solo low.

29:20.28
Andrew Culture
Oh man, that’s a hell of a topic that is.

29:31.95
Andrew Culture
Yeah, from.

29:33.95
Dr Sam
Not the rest of the song. Um, ah because there there are thinking about like solos that have tagged on there are the black sabbath that felt when I first started listening to black sabbath that felt like black sabbath did that qualo and we’re going to do this really slow ponderous riff. And then when Azzie’s done his bed and he wants a drink or s nott sa ans or something we’re going to give time Tony Iommi his moment and we’re gonna go faster so he has some fun things to selllo over and that’s what and then Queen did that as well with of course. Ah, ah.

30:08.66
Andrew Culture
Ah, Brighton Rock is one. That’s just all so low isn’t it.

30:08.79
Dr Sam
We are the all this I mean I I didn’t think of Brian Rock but I was thinking of ah we will rock. You. It’s like it’s all it’s all this. But don’t think the drums are even there necessary at the beginning. It’s all like foot stomps and claps if you if the movie’s to be believed and vocals and then all of a sudden Brian may does a solo finish.

30:32.62
Andrew Culture
It does you’re completely right? Just just like it’s like it was late to the studio and he just walked in halfway through the song when oh shit you need guitar. Don’t you did did d.

30:41.23
Dr Sam
Yeah, and it’s sort of like okay I know the sum needed rounding out a little bit but it didn’t really need a solo which just which is yeah it’s I would say structurally we will rock you as 1 of the lead the weaker parts of the queen. Big song catalog. Um, but it’s still sort of still amazing. Um, we are yeah it’s amazing. They’re not that fat really.

31:04.30
Andrew Culture
Um, sure they still were able to buy themselves a few chocolate parts with the proceeds of that I know so much so much chocolate right? Um, the next band I can never see this band’s name written down without hearing. Hearing it said in a northern accent. So who if we offended so far today. All white people or latino people. Let’s go for northerners as well. But this is a super junky monkey kind of new calciler space. Super junky monkey.

31:30.50
Dr Sam
Let’s show.

31:38.59
Dr Sam
It’s okay, they’re Japanese so you’re insulting that as well.

31:42.29
Andrew Culture
Brilliant I say like equal opportunities in insulta not gonna leave anybody out right? So this is super junky monkey with ah I know why now it’s because there’s chocolate called chunky monkey I think it’s Ben and Jerry’s the

31:44.15
Dr Sam
There.

31:58.95
Dr Sam
Ah.

31:59.69
Andrew Culture
Ah, terrifying insight into the way my mind works but this is ah Dr Sam’s next choice and it’s a song called telepathy.

32:38.86
Andrew Culture
That song has the strange honor of being the first song I’ve ever heard with Slap Bassin that I thought the slap bass sounded good hasn’t.

32:49.92
Dr Sam
I could do a whole app set about super junky monkey I am absolutely they were for a while I would I would I would say they were my favorite band. Um, and Kiko ah is the guitarist. Who you can hear play and this is the third album I think it was from the third album which is called ah, parasitic people. Um, and ah.

33:17.71
Dr Sam
The guitar sort of dominates that song but our songs a bit. It feels like it frankly that song’s great but also feels like a bit of a filler but it also just has these astoundingly see astoundingly cool instrumental moments that make it worthwhile listening to. And super junkie monkey were banned mid 90 s or sort of 90 s funk hardcore wrapping noise band from Japan and all all female which shouldn’t be a issue but it was sort of. You know there is an aspect to that being a point and they could play ah, and yeah and it was just it’s just cool that song with that solo really like just kicks you in the face.

33:59.86
Andrew Culture
Us wondering.

34:05.51
Andrew Culture
A that’s brilliant I mean say part of part. The reason we we do this podcast is just to share music with each other as much as anything else and you have you have played them before and there’s something just good. There’s something so thick and enriching.

34:16.70
Dr Sam
And I will play them again.

34:23.79
Andrew Culture
About super super junky monkey. It’s like it’s like if other if other bands like that, especially the the hardcore mixed with rap thing which is just like putting Jalipinos in a trifle It’s just like yeah I like both of those things but I’m not sure I want them together. But that.

34:42.24
Dr Sam
Yeah I mean I think when they did it they did it more on their second album. The first 2 um, the third album rather than the second um it was sort of it got incorporated as they went weirder as they went more experimental and in that way works really well. Um, because it is sort of like them. It. It has the sound of them trying really sort of different things rather than incorporating rap possibly because they thought it would sound more records.

35:11.61
Andrew Culture
I want to play the the start of that track again and and I want to want to pay attention really pay attention this time to to the guitar I was but it’s so so it’s like a tapestry because it is doesn’t sound like there’s tons of overdubs but you know just just bass drums and guitar. But. Ah, want to pay attention to the solo. The horrible kind of with it beginning there but shit what do you want? professionalism.

35:54.91
Andrew Culture
I wanted to play that because I thought that can’t be repeatable I Thought that must be an in the studio thing where you just go I’m just gonna just move my fingers around just do whatever I want but having heard it again. It’s actually structured and it makes and make sense. It’s not just random shit. It’s it’s.

36:07.70
Dr Sam
Yeah, yeah.

36:13.51
Andrew Culture
It makes total sense. So yeah I just wanted to know if it was repeatable and clearly it is because it’s actually written. It’s not just random stuff gee. Wow Yeah that that’s pretty amazing right? So on to my next. Oh and all late night radio points there on to my next extra.

36:28.52
Dr Sam
Right? next.

36:32.62
Andrew Culture
Now this actually is a northern band and this is another another example of the first pop. Oh man, let me see if I can say their name in a in a suffolk accent stone rowers as the stone bow Suffolk.

36:35.78
Dr Sam
But can you say that name and a Southern accent that is also insulting to the southern.

36:50.40
Dr Sam
Um, and.

36:52.55
Andrew Culture
Adds extra like ah vowels where there doesn’t need to be or syllables rather so stone roses and this song I am I am the I am the ib the resurrection. Ah again, another example, first half of the song bear’s absolutely no relation to the end of the song. And this is another song that I know every single note of this solo I could be It’s the musical equivalent of when I used to travel to London a lot I’d sleep on the train and I could wake up and look out the window and know exactly where I was on the journey. Um, yeah, okay, let me just play. It.

37:31.69
Andrew Culture
Where’s the button.

38:06.21
Andrew Culture
It’s kind of difficult hearing that stop because I Just oh yeah I.

38:08.15
Dr Sam
So my question my question I’ve never heard that before my question is how long does that solo go on for.

38:15.37
Andrew Culture
Ah, spout sorry but no, it’s not. It’s not too bad. It’s about 3 or 4 minutes a thing.

38:17.85
Dr Sam
Because to me that sounds like the point where you start to fade out the track.

38:23.93
Andrew Culture
Ah God I Really want to play you another bit another bit of it because the the end of the track as it fades out another song starts or like an ah completely different guitar.

38:35.63
Dr Sam
Ah.

38:37.67
Andrew Culture
That that the stone roses are hit and miss and I can I really cognizant of the fact that if people weren’t into them in the late eighty s early 90 s and you became exposed to them at any other time after that it’s such a mixed bag I mean the second hou second hour when it came out. We literally just laughed at it. It was. It was made us very sad the the latest stuff that they did they they got. They came back a few years ago and sort of had a go at it and they were just trying to it was just a pasthe of stuff. They’d done before the very early eighty s stuff is just garage rock and it’s kind of quite cool but that song I am the resurrection. The actual song is it’s it’s bit thoughtless I don’t think that much of it. But that solo is so good and the next two singles after that which were fools goals and one love they released in seven inch and twelve inch versions this is a proper ninety s eighty s ninety s thing. Um, the 12 with its versions of fool’s gold. They actually called it fools gold 9 forty seven I think it’s brilliant. It’s really good gone. You’ve got your hand up.

39:40.79
Dr Sam
please sir please sir for the for those of us who who are not as educated. What do you mean by the twelve inch version and you know don’t just step in tell us what’s coming.

39:58.67
Andrew Culture
I just slip in my 12 pin shell. Oh dear. Ah right? So there was I think it is a way of getting things higher up the chart or making more money. So the rules were different about how how? um. How your sales were counted back then so if we were a band you’d release your single on cassette and vinyl so seven inch and cassette and there’d be no real reason for fans to buy both unless they were like really completest. Um. So twelve inch versions were always longer versions of songs and um I think suddenly you had a reason to buy both versions or you’d buy the twelve inch version because it’d be a lot more expensive I mean twelve inches when I was a teenager were probably four pound fifty to a fiber so it was not an insignificant amount of money I always bought like always bought the twelve inch version because not only was the longer version of the single which you often got really cool and that’s when bands used to sort of jam out and and whatever but you’d always get extra tracks. So if you bought a seven inch you’d get the the single on one side and then you get a b-side. Or sometimes the pretentious double a side. But if you got the 12 winch there’d always be at least a couple of extra songs on there and bands like swade really made the most of the 12 winch format and and then Cds were kind of doing the Dr Same thing.

41:29.70
Andrew Culture
But the longer version of the track you quite often only got on the twelve inch vinyl you didn’t always get it on the cd I mean it’s sort of it petered out well before the 2000 and I think partly because the rules for the how the chart how the chart was calculated changed again. Because bands started putting out around like Brit Popt peak bands would put out 2 versions of a single. They’d put out Cd 1 version Cd 2 version which was brilliant for fans in a way because you bought both versions and you almost got on a whole album of stuff because Cd one would have the single. And 3 b-sides as it were and the cd 2 would have the single and 3 more so you’re getting like 7 tracks but it was it was just a shallow money grab to help bands get get kind of further up the charts. But.

42:10.98
Dr Sam
Well.

42:20.82
Andrew Culture
Twelve inch versions are always worth looking up for I think to be honest, they started around disco time. Ah.

42:27.79
Dr Sam
Yeah I have a thing about they were sort of they started as something like tools for djays. Um, but I completely forgot about that Cd type. You know that cd sort of people putting out cds in the Dr Same lead single but with different. Things I think blured a few where they did like you get proper b size. You got a bside in a live track and then you go to another one. You get 2 bsides and a live track as well and I always thought the live tracks I never I never really appreciated. Ah live stuff. From pop bands that much because I felt so many of them play it so straight that you just get this live version of something that’s better done in the studio. But that’s another thing. Um, but I completely forgot about that. Yeah complete fucking rip off I hate that I I you’ve got my mom.

43:20.43
Andrew Culture
I’m gonna.

43:23.42
Dr Sam
And somewhere bless her she hasn’t thrown them out I don’t know why not ah somewhere in a cupboard in my mum’s flat are all these Cd singles are poor as a teenager and just waste of space because they also bought the albums.

43:35.55
Andrew Culture
I I made I’ve made a note here that we ought to do an episode good besides versus bad beesides because bands like swade had had a thing that they would always write new songs and I’m going to be a Blur comp completeist. They only ever had in the the first. 4 or 5 albums. They only had 1 live version as a bside and that was on the remixed version of there’s no other way and it’s a song called de cane today which they never released any a studio version of that aside you had bands like swae who frankly. Must have made their lives really difficult by putting really quality songs on his bsides. A lot of bands at the time cdtwo would be as you say live versions which would be kind of point. There. Sometimes you get a demo version which again was just sort low effort really because this is when bands had the money to this is wild.

44:22.86
Dr Sam
Hit.

44:27.99
Andrew Culture
To it to anyone young and in a band now but you used to go into a band record a demo version and then go to a bigger studio and record the final version so getting demo versions was a cop out and then I think the biggest crime of all was the shitty dance remix I did what I did one for a local local band that they I what.

44:41.13
Dr Sam
Oh yeah, yeah.

44:47.41
Andrew Culture
They wanted like ah a proper a ban called Ectopeach they wanted a proper 90 s style remix so I did it I basically created a completely different dance track and just took little snippets of the vocals and just put them on like dope did little throughout the track which is what you used to get. But yeah I’ve made the note because I think that that’s a really nice idea because some bands. Turned it into an art form blair blair used it to really explore some weird shit they were into at the time there’s like music Hall Style piano things and.

45:16.54
Dr Sam
Yeah, yeah, that was I readis I discovered that completely discovered that for myself when I was looking at the extended version of the albums that released those B sides. Um, yeah, yeah, and also like just generally like you know.

45:27.17
Andrew Culture
Um, ah, that’s how they come out now and streaming isn’t extended version.

45:34.11
Dr Sam
There’s some box set of whatevers thirtyti or Fortieth anniversary and they’ll just package jeffer thing together like the green day have doey coming out from their thirtieth and I looked at the box set as a 6 vinyl box set or doy and it comes with all their bsides which is cool.

45:48.99
Andrew Culture
Um, what.

45:53.30
Dr Sam
And then it comes with like 2 live albums I just go I don’t care what the.

45:57.95
Andrew Culture
I Just don’t give a shit. Yeah blurted the was like was sailing song was sal was sal Anyway, let let’s let’s talk about that another time just like get your fucking live hours.

46:15.20
Dr Sam
Um, kind of fucking. Let’s just.

46:16.26
Andrew Culture
Live album purpose. So a live band was just for banness to get our contracts I assume.

46:22.23
Dr Sam
Ah, well I think there is the best one I’ve heard that comes to mind that I’m really I feel I ah so I sometimes work for the record late record shop the galias here in Helsinki and. Ah, they buy up secondhand records and I was there a few months ago and they bought in a ah David Bowie um it’s a jazz orientated shop but they they buy in whatever they basically think they could sell I agree. Yeah um.

46:50.20
Andrew Culture
Whatever they can flog.

46:55.58
Dr Sam
And they and they they bought in this record collection and within this record collection. It had ah a David Bowie um boot leg I mean it was so it was bootle to the point where there was no actual label on it saying it was David Bowie we had to put it on to figure out what it was.

47:10.22
Andrew Culture
Why now.

47:13.65
Dr Sam
And it was a recording from the out from the tour where Adrian Ballou was of King Crimson fame um and it’s just one of the most amazing guitarists to have lived. Ah he was sort of Bowie’s bad leader at the time. And because they weren’t recorded but they had they did that um sort of golf 1 they bowie did that album at the time as he did that he did a double. He did a live album at the time I think it’s called stage with Adrian blue on it.

47:42.64
Andrew Culture
Um, it’s fascinating.

47:50.31
Dr Sam
And but I think it sounds so tame compared to this. Um, this soundboard recording that was made into this bootleg and Adrian Ballou is just going off on one. It’s it’s and I kick myself for not having just bought it from the shop because I just. Stage is so tame compared to what this what he was doing on this live album this live calling so that sort of changed my I yeah I sort of I think some bands work live albums incredibly well. But I think for the most part pop bands. Don’t because they stick to their sort of formula um of how the songs are written for the most part. Oh I just because I was introduced by with fucking Santana through that track he Ed in the 90 s and so you know it’s like you know like.

48:31.96
Andrew Culture
Um, yeah, um, what’s your problem with santanler then.

48:41.55
Andrew Culture
Oh no, that’s just that’s awful.

48:48.10
Dr Sam
You don’t want your first taste of something to be. You know, just something taken you know regurgitated from a trash can.

48:58.94
Andrew Culture
No, that that that that’s absolute heinous. But the first 2 albums. It’s just amazing and and live stuff and from around then like the ah the clip of them in the um, what’s that massive festival woodstock.

49:13.66
Dr Sam
Yeah.

49:15.74
Andrew Culture
It’s good music and I’m fascinated by it because it was so Latin American and there was nothing else has survived that that I know of since then but even at the time to have a Latin American kind of freak out band as a big big big project. You know a big selling album a big selling band is I Just think.

49:20.64
Dr Sam
Um.

49:34.87
Andrew Culture
Fascinating anyway, let’s move on to your final choice and it is Joe tell us what it is.

49:42.92
Dr Sam
Ah, it is dinosaur Junior It doesn’t really matter what track is but the track is called what else is new.

49:46.80
Andrew Culture
I Think right? Yeah yeah, I’ll go to press play I got.

50:25.24
Dr Sam
Is yeah no.

50:25.61
Andrew Culture
I love the end of that just hear Josie. Um, yeah, so any any new listeners we can’t play more than 30 seconds or anything otherwise we get knackered by prrs um and licensing dinosaur junior again, really surprised you chose that we’ve seen diners I didn’t know you like dinosaur junior.

50:42.24
Dr Sam
Oh yeah I I have a weird and I love watching Jay Maskcus live I think he’s he’s I think he’s he just sort of transports you to a place where.

50:42.97
Andrew Culture
At all or don’t.

50:52.13
Andrew Culture
Yeah, yeah, oh culture.

51:01.41
Dr Sam
Guitar so he’s like he is a fucking amazing guitar player and he has that power to just transform you transport you to that guitar guitar Soer Land and my conclusion after seeing him sing dinosaur junior live a few times has basically been and trying to listen to the albums I’ve got 1 or 2 of them. Is going I don’t really care about the songs I love his solos and he’s just an amazing player and any track of his um is just dominated by that solo. Um, where and and so it’s sort of.

51:39.64
Dr Sam
Yeah there’s a song there and there’s actually a proper pop song there and it’s a nice song but the solo is something else and I found this and I was sort of torn between there was another band that I thought about this and maybe I should have gone for them because you know they’re more current in a way but screaming females. Ah. Guitarist singer whose name I have lost in my head and I shall retrieve from the internet. Ah she is an amazing guitar player and she does the Dr Same sort of thing as they’re the Dr Same sort of prospect in a way as dinosaur junior because they have. Ah, pretty solid bassin drums. The vocals are okay, ah Marissa Patnoster um is the guitarist and vocals as as well and she’s sort of back and both Jay Maskis and Dinos Junior and her and and in Srini females. They’re backed by this. Um, really solid band but it is their guitars just go off on one and she has that sort of Dr Same sort of sonic quality of soloing that jayascus has and um, yeah, they are. It’s just like when you get when for me when I listen to them I sort of forget the songs and I remember the solos and I remember the feeling of the solos give me and so yeah I I go and see them live in a heartbeat by record wise I don’t think it it speaks that much to me.

52:58.57
Andrew Culture
Um, in Calcutta.

53:09.46
Andrew Culture
I don’t know as many of the later I later this is 9093 it’s hardly later but I I don’t I don’t know these albums as well. But the the solos I’ll tell you what I’m going to play my next song then we’ll carry on talking.

53:55.91
Dr Sam
I Mean the dude whales. Yeah.

53:58.20
Andrew Culture
So I so that’s that start chopping by dinosaur junior um I’ve got that on twelve inch sadly it’s not a twelve inch version but I’m not sure you didn’t need to sure you need a twelve inch version with Dinosaur Julia but yet that.

54:06.53
Dr Sam
Now the.

54:12.20
Andrew Culture
I Know as another song I know every single fucking note of that and it’s just I Love love the way he plays because it’s not widly widly. In fact I don’t think that is any widly widly in any dinosaur junior. It’s just a journey That’s the only way I can think to describe it and ah.

54:24.39
Dr Sam
Yeah, did you know he and Mike Wat did a version of maga brain the Eddie Hazel solo piece that made funca delics first that the first yeah he did a version of that. Um, and he so like.

54:35.32
Andrew Culture
Wow! really.

54:44.77
Dr Sam
2 points are under. Why is it released under Mike Watts name but um yeah it’s like if there’s ever been like a a person who should do their own version of maggot brain I think I think jamacus is sort of up there and deserving it.

55:01.37
Andrew Culture
I only heard mac at brainin for the first time a couple of days ago. 6 music. Ah bbc 6 music on the Sunday has all various people like iggy pop doing a show and I heard this someone was like what is this? it doesn’t sound like anything. I’ve overheard and I couldn’t place it and I resisted the urge to use shazam to figure it out. We got speakers throughout our entire house so you I could hear it while I was having a we or whatever and when when I was told us it was funcadelic I was like really odd sorry did you say ancheddelical parliament.

55:26.17
Dr Sam
Awesome.

55:34.22
Dr Sam
It’s it’s fun Ade it’s really early funk deck but they have this amazing guitar school lady Eddie Hazel um and I actually I did spend and this is I did spend quite a lot of time when I was trying to make my list this week trying to find a song where Eddie Hazel

55:36.93
Andrew Culture
And.

55:51.81
Dr Sam
Watch wasn’t megabra because I thought megabrain there’s a few tracks that I thought were a bit too obvious was maggo brain and hangar 18 by mega death which is basically mega hangar you know mega death is basically 2 minutes of a thrush metal song and then another 5 minutes or something like that of just people trading solos. Um, ah including the amazing Marty Freeman you can tell the once that Marty Freeman does ah a Freedman Friedman does ah because they make they just sound less chromatic. No offen David Mustang um but Eddie Hazel just yeah, and also I think we can’t talk about maggot brain without talking about the so that apparently the um production note George Clinton gave Eddie Hazel which go that he told. He said play the solo in two half something like the first half is your play like your mother’s dying and then the second half is play like she’s um, she’s been given some medicine and she’s going to survive. And I think also you know we have to remember that they probably off their faces in lsd at the time.

57:10.75
Andrew Culture
There There is an element of the psychedelic without a shadow of a doubt. Um, ah just we’re running at a time unfortunately but I want to listen to the home can listen to the whole of that. Um the dinosaur Junior album that we both picked ah independently picked a track off.

57:12.87
Dr Sam
Yeah.

57:24.66
Dr Sam
A.

57:28.26
Andrew Culture
It’s the one. It’s the one without on say lo barlow now what’s the name of the basis that doesn’t matter. But I think Dave what’s Lou Barlow anyway and I was lo barlo. You know I’m going to have to look that up now because that’s going to bother me but that that’s one where they.

57:35.48
Dr Sam
Dave.

57:46.13
Andrew Culture
They had become Jay macus’ band. It was his band entirely and when they started it um it it was ah a band right? Lou Barlow american musician yeah bassist of yeah god I was right I did a music knowledge thing and was right. That’s.

We have four music songs each and then we discuss them. We also have riff of the week so we’re also trying to find new riffs. We also have live reviews and our live reviews are an important part of the podcast because we try and really get the vibe of an event so it’s not just a you know Chin stroking talking about the songs. It’s talking to people at the gig. It’s recording the sounds of the gig and just trying to get you so that you feel like you’re there and you’ve got.
