1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: Ready for rock Royalty? Are you ready for it? Here

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: one a two.

3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 2: Point seven kiss FM.

4
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,719
Speaker 1: This guy, he's a legend.

5
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 2: It's actually inspiration, I mean even for non performers, right

6
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 2: and watching him alive. I had a chance to see

7
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 2: him live a few times. Nothing smoother and Lenny Kravitz.

8
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 2: I believe Tubbs is informed that Lenny Kravitz is standing by.

9
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 2: Will he be wearing his signature sunglasses?

10
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: Yes, I think so, but it'll be like a clear lens.

11
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 2: Oh it will not be a clear less Yes, a

12
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 2: little bit Lenny clear less.

13
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: A clear lens. No, No, not clear. I meant like sheer,

14
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: like you'll be able to still see his eyes, not

15
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: like blackout.

16
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 2: I think they're blackout. He's gonna wear I don't know

17
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 2: that a part I can't tell. I Amy tell him.

18
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 2: I was inspired by his workout video I tried at

19
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 2: the gym.

20
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, so how much did you try the.

21
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 2: I'm gonna explain it to everybody. Well, we were right,

22
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 2: sisiny that is Lenny Kravitz. Right.

23
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 1: How are you, buddy?

24
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 3: I'm doing well. How are you good?

25
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 2: To see you fantastic, thanks for coming on, good to

26
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: see you.

27
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 3: Man.

28
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: We were just.

29
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 2: Saying Lenny that through your music we are and have been.

30
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 2: Obviously we are inspired, but also I think through dialogue

31
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 2: and some of the things that that I've been reading

32
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: about you, some of the things that you practice are

33
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 2: inspiring and some of the things that you physically do

34
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 2: are inspiring. I actually tried to recreate you with that

35
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: large bar doing the sit up on the decline bench

36
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 2: in the gym at a place called dog Pound, and

37
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 2: it didn't go as smoothly as it did with you

38
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 2: in your video.

39
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 3: Come on, I don't know about that, and I know

40
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 3: you can do it.

41
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: I believe in you, right, I know you do. But

42
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: the way I've been the weight did not. But I did.

43
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 2: I did see it, and I thought, you know what,

44
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 2: that is inspired because I was reading that you that

45
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,399
Speaker 2: is part of sort of mental for you, right, exercise

46
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 2: mental for you.

47
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 4: The discipline travels across lines, so it enhances any discipline

48
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 4: that you are trying to achieve. Your focus, your discipline,

49
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 4: your drive, your commitment to things going from mission to mission,

50
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 4: in whatever.

51
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 3: You have in front of you. It really does enhance.

52
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 4: All of it because you get pushed beyond what you

53
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 4: thought you could do, and it just works in every

54
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 4: aspect of your life, and I recommend it for you.

55
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 3: I'm going to hook you up. I need it, hook

56
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 3: you up.

57
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 2: We talk about breaking our comfort zone, and you know, interestingly,

58
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 2: with the new album Blue Electric Light, this is something

59
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 2: where I also, I think I kind of know your method,

60
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 2: but you don't that You're not waking up at whatever

61
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: time and going I'm going to the studio for three hours.

62
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 1: I'm going to write.

63
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 2: Whatever happens, happens, I'm going out, going out for lunch.

64
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 2: That's not your process.

65
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 4: No, No, I'm an antenna, That's what I call it,

66
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 4: and I pick up things that are being transmitted, and

67
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 4: so I prefer to wait for it to happen as

68
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 4: opposed to a set of time to work. I know

69
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 4: a lot of musicians and producers that work that way,

70
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 4: and it works for them. They make a schedule, they

71
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 4: work like they're in an office. But for me, I

72
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 4: want to keep as much of my ideas out of it,

73
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 4: which sounds strange. I want to hear it from the

74
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 4: pure source, and then my job is to work on

75
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 4: that to get that to sound like I heard it

76
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 4: in my head, so that when you hear it, I'm

77
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 4: hearing this pure.

78
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 3: Creativity that came to me.

79
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 4: So that's my job is to then work on that

80
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 4: at and so I play all the instruments and I

81
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 4: put it together and it ends up being that.

82
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 3: But not that I can't write a song the other way.

83
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: But melody first, Melody comes first. Melody is the first thing.

84
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 3: Normally.

85
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 4: Well, when I hear these things, I hear them like records,

86
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 4: so they they I hear the whole thing pretty much.

87
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 4: I may not hear I may not hear all of

88
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 4: the words. Sometimes I do, but if I don't, they

89
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 4: begin to sort of appear as I work on it,

90
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 4: and I'll go in and do what we call a

91
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 4: dummy vocal, where you just start scatting the melody because

92
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 4: I hear the melody and all of a sudden words

93
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 4: start coming out here and there, and then I listen back.

94
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 3: I said, what is it I'm saying? And I can

95
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 3: hear it through the scat.

96
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it could happen. It could come to you

97
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: at any time sleeping normally.

98
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, normally it's between the hours of three and five am.

99
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 4: I find that no way, that's that's the time where

100
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:04,799
Speaker 4: I'm being woken up and you know you're sleeping you're comfortable,

101
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 4: you know, you don't want to get up, but you

102
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 4: got to get up.

103
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: Do you think it's because do you think it's because

104
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: the rest of the world is quiet?

105
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 4: Perhaps perhaps in my time zone? Right so, but it

106
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 4: just seems to be the time that it happens. And

107
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 4: maybe that's when I'm in you know, rim sleep. I

108
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 4: don't know, but those are the hours so kind of

109
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 4: a pain, but.

110
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 3: You know, you know you got to get up.

111
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 2: You got to get up, you know, in talking about

112
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 2: this new album, but it's the kind of album that

113
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 2: you and you got it one of those time people

114
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 2: have listened to an album. This is an album that

115
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 2: you do want to you want to put you want

116
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 2: to just go away from friends and family for a minute,

117
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 2: you want a little it's almost a meditative moment for yourself.

118
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 2: And play the whole thing because it's got different tempos

119
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 2: to it.

120
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: It's got thank you, it's got.

121
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 3: I still believe in the album. I still believe in

122
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 3: the Alchemists.

123
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 1: Well you can tell when you listen to the whole thing.

124
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 4: You know, it's it's it's what I grew up listening to.

125
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 4: It's what I grew up making. And for me, it

126
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 4: takes a collection of songs to make the statement, and

127
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 4: you know just how one song flows to the other,

128
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 4: the time between each song, you know, you know, growing

129
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 4: up listening to records, you knew when the next song

130
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 4: was coming and what it was in the space between,

131
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 4: and every little breath matters.

132
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 2: You know, how do you view your own spirituality and

133
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 2: how do you practice it.

134
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 4: With the gratitude knowing that God is a higher source

135
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 4: and that all these things are gifts. I do the work,

136
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 4: You do the work, and thus we have the lives

137
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 4: that we have. There's a blessing that's also involved and

138
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,559
Speaker 4: having faith and also accept myself as I speak about

139
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 4: in this song Human, I mean, we're all spiritual beings

140
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 4: having this human experience. We're here to learn, we're here

141
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 4: to be human. We're here to deal with all of

142
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 4: the things that come with this flesh that surrounds our spirit.

143
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 4: And it's an incredible ride.

144
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 2: We're gonna play that song here in just a second

145
