Speaker 1: Quest Love Supreme is a production of iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: What Up, y'all, It's Layah from West Love Supreme. We
Speaker 2: are back with part two of the conversation between Adam
Speaker 2: Levine and Quest Love Supreme and rhymes. So it must
Speaker 2: make sense anyway. Look, if you haven't, you must hear
Speaker 2: part one. We never forget. We did this in studio
Speaker 2: in New York. So there's a really great role called
Speaker 2: that Adam Killed and talks about his first musical memories,
Speaker 2: lots of funny stories and so much more.
Speaker 3: So check that out.
Speaker 2: Now, let's get to part two of Adam Levine and
Speaker 2: kick it off with the brilliant, the ever so brilliant
Speaker 2: Fonte with his question.
Speaker 4: How did y'all make the transition from you know, the
Speaker 4: Karross Flowers days to working on your first songs about
Speaker 4: jamie first record?
Speaker 5: So I remember very distinctly like we were like, okay,
Speaker 5: I mean, Gret Fortunately, we were all super young, you know,
Speaker 5: so I thought in my mind, I'm like you running
Speaker 5: out of time, you know, nineteen.
Speaker 4: You know, you don't realize how young you are, you know, And.
Speaker 5: That's part of the motivation though, because you're so I
Speaker 5: was so driven that I was like okay, and you know,
Speaker 5: we gotta go now or it's gonna be too late,
Speaker 5: and it's just a lot of exploration and you know,
Speaker 5: getting into I started loving different musical styles because for
Speaker 5: a long time, that's kind of like when Stevie Wonder
Speaker 5: came in, I started listening to a lot of Al
Speaker 5: Green and Bill Withers record So it's just shit just
Speaker 5: changed for me. And I was like, oh, like because
Speaker 5: I knew I I hadn't found like my own thing yet, right,
Speaker 5: And so I and I started listening to the Police
Speaker 5: a lot, Prince, just shit that wasn't like like Weezer,
Speaker 5: like Green Day or the shit that I was growing up.
Speaker 5: Influence started changing. I started loving to go see people,
Speaker 5: you know, musicians play you know for hours, you know,
Speaker 5: just going to see stuff, going to see guys that
Speaker 5: could do it on a level that was really amazing.
Speaker 5: And so that changed the way I approached music. And
Speaker 5: I think singing definitely. I think Steve I have to
Speaker 5: credit Stevie with like the big shift in the way
Speaker 5: I started going at it. And I was like, in
Speaker 5: like los feelis at this point with a bunch of
Speaker 5: hipsters that we're all trying to be like the Strokes,
Speaker 5: you know, and ship. So it was super uncool to
Speaker 5: try and sound like what we were trying to sound like.
Speaker 3: What was the Stevie record that grabbed you?
Speaker 5: So that's what that's what gets you in, and you
Speaker 5: got to go everywhere else, but that, of course go back.
Speaker 5: That's also like the White Album, like like yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: that's crazy everybody's starting point.
Speaker 6: Double record.
Speaker 3: That'd be like off the wall, or would be like Thriller.
Speaker 7: The thriller, yeah, okay, Songs is thriller, yeah, and Inner
Speaker 7: Visions is.
Speaker 8: Off the wall.
Speaker 5: Inner Visions came second always.
Speaker 7: All right, so we're having Rivers is coming on the show.
Speaker 7: So because you're weezer, heead and this is my favorite subject.
Speaker 1: Are you a Pinkerton?
Speaker 8: All right?
Speaker 6: Here's the deal.
Speaker 5: That records so fucking incredible. Okay, well, the Blue Record
Speaker 5: is the shit.
Speaker 7: Everyone lives for the Blue Record, no man, But I
Speaker 7: feel like people sometimes ride for Pinkerton too hard, as
Speaker 7: in like that establishes who they are. I'm sticking to
Speaker 7: my initial feelings of Pinkerton. I listened to it and
Speaker 7: I was like, it's not like the Blue Record, and
Speaker 7: I let it go. But then when I started reading
Speaker 7: every critic, every music snop was like Pinkerton's there Dad
Speaker 7: in a moment. So Weezer came out with his debut
Speaker 7: record and you know, in an era of like grunge
Speaker 7: music and all that stuff, and sort of created their
Speaker 7: own lane in nineteen ninety four, and then in ninety
Speaker 7: six they kind of pulled a one to eighty and
Speaker 7: did like an opposite record or maybe a departure record.
Speaker 7: I don't know, it remains to be seen. We'll ask
Speaker 7: them on the show in the future. And so they
Speaker 7: did this like art record, and I don't know for me.
Speaker 5: Look, I understand the criticism of it because the first
Speaker 5: one was super polished, right, and it was like thought
Speaker 5: through and like every song had I don't know. It
Speaker 5: was kind of a perfect album, honestly, and then the
Speaker 5: second one was raw and unleashed and it was like
Speaker 5: kind of a fuck you.
Speaker 8: Record kind of.
Speaker 9: I kind of think they were trying to Yeah, it's
Speaker 9: not their progress, maybe these things that I look, we
Speaker 9: shared a manager at the time, so he gave us
Speaker 9: the record, and I remember cassette tapes.
Speaker 5: I had the tape before it came out, and I
Speaker 5: like wore it out in my car and I listened
Speaker 5: to it every single day whenever I could, so I
Speaker 5: have like a special relationship with it because I felt
Speaker 5: like I had this like in where I could hear
Speaker 5: something before everyone else did. And then they did the record.
Speaker 6: I went to Tower Records, Cower.
Speaker 5: Records Parking Lot. They played the sac whole Saging record,
Speaker 5: and now they're coming back and playing the Blue record
Speaker 5: right which I got to see. But Pinkerton is like,
Speaker 5: it doesn't sound good, like it's the productions kind of
Speaker 5: it's kind of like you could tell they were trying
Speaker 5: to just like throw it, throw it together. The guitar
Speaker 5: sounds weren't like pristine like the ones that recal cases
Speaker 5: that were like so huge. It didn't have like an
Speaker 5: aggressive feeling to it.
Speaker 6: It was artsy like you said.
Speaker 5: But like the songs were just kind of as good
Speaker 5: as I believe the songs were as good.
Speaker 6: It just they didn't give a shit.
Speaker 5: They didn't want to sit there and like do takes
Speaker 5: forever and you could feel that. But I kind of
Speaker 5: like I kind of just looked through it and it
Speaker 5: kind of has like Pixies production, you know, where it's
Speaker 5: just like like big fat drums and just kind of disorganized.
Speaker 5: But it's chaos, but it's great and I don't know,
Speaker 5: I love it.
Speaker 6: And then they got more.
Speaker 5: Then they kind of went back to like toge, So
Speaker 5: it's special. I think that's why everyone sees who knows,
Speaker 5: but it feels like that's what was so special.
Speaker 7: I always expected Departure album to be like the fourth
Speaker 7: or fifth album after you established a cannon, And for them, it's.
Speaker 5: Kind of hard though, to like come out and just
Speaker 5: be like, here you go.
Speaker 8: What you well.
Speaker 7: I was held confused at the time, and I think,
Speaker 7: you know, once three or four years went by him
Speaker 7: and suddenly I saw this critical turnaround, like that was
Speaker 7: their greatest album. I didn't want to immediately jump on
Speaker 7: the bandwagon, so I like held on tight to my
Speaker 7: initial feelings to it.
Speaker 5: What's crazy, though, is that like they had a crazy
Speaker 5: thing because that happened, and then you thought that was
Speaker 5: a wrap, probably right, because it was like but then
Speaker 5: they like like then people don't even know that record
Speaker 5: if you either love Pinkerton or you don't even know
Speaker 5: or care about it, because they made these other poppier
Speaker 5: records as time went on that were like much more
Speaker 5: akin to the first one. So it was this weird
Speaker 5: blip on their on their on their trajectory and they.
Speaker 7: Really touch it live in concert, which to me, I
Speaker 7: don't know if they.
Speaker 5: I don't know how they see listened to it, see
Speaker 5: how he feels about it, because it's must be a
Speaker 5: really interesting perspective coming from him, But who knows.
Speaker 8: So was your north star? You can be your own
Speaker 8: nor star.
Speaker 5: You see me trying to figure that one out. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I mean it isn't.
Speaker 10: Not my north.
Speaker 3: You won't hit the five. Oh yeah.
Speaker 5: Weezer was the band and I was like, and then
Speaker 5: we departed from them and I started listening to all
Speaker 5: this other ship and then change everything. And also I
Speaker 5: love the fact I loved going against this a sick
Speaker 5: desire to always not do what everybody was doing. Like
Speaker 5: in town, it was this like resurgence of like it
Speaker 5: was like joy division was back, and then was loving
Speaker 5: that and it was all you know, strokes were so
Speaker 5: big and you can't One thing I would have I've
Speaker 5: learned over time is like you cannot do it better
Speaker 5: than the people who are doing it best in that moment,
Speaker 5: and everyone kind of tries to go for that, and
Speaker 5: you're like, don't do that like juxtaposed, this is a
Speaker 5: little bit and so, and trust me, people didn't like it.
Speaker 5: Like we start doing shows and ship and people be
Speaker 5: like that sounds like Michael Jackson, Like what the is
Speaker 5: this guy?
Speaker 3: Like that's when the Negroes came back.
Speaker 5: The whites didn't understand we've been.
Speaker 6: But the whites did understand it in the beginning.
Speaker 8: Everybody understand.
Speaker 5: The beginnings in Hollywood were like this guy and it's
Speaker 5: l A two.
Speaker 3: He's not in New York.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: The whites in New York, ya, I probably would down.
Speaker 11: Because that sounded like a funk band. White kids who
Speaker 11: could play funk.
Speaker 6: It was exciting to be doing ship.
Speaker 5: We kind of like weren't supposed to be doing it
Speaker 5: because I was like, fuck it, we're gonna do it.
Speaker 5: We can we can pose.
Speaker 7: I remember once I forget who I saw on MTV
Speaker 7: and they were talking about like, oh, that's my jam
Speaker 7: whatever this love and I was d jaying and I
Speaker 7: remember that I needed like a mid temple song and
Speaker 7: C and I was like there scrolling that was at
Speaker 7: the end of the alphabet, and I saw this love.
Speaker 7: I was like, well, I never played that before. Let
Speaker 7: me see what happens, and I played and motherfuckers started.
Speaker 8: Like people love that.
Speaker 6: And one of those ones.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, in a moment of desperation. I didn't know
Speaker 7: that was even clubbable, you know.
Speaker 6: Weirdly it is.
Speaker 5: And like when you when even still when we play
Speaker 5: it live, like the minute you're going to people just
Speaker 5: freak out, and it's that's.
Speaker 8: One of those moments, lighter moment.
Speaker 5: That's the like knowing, like the moment in the conte,
Speaker 5: I'm like, yeah, is this time for this ship?
Speaker 8: Where does your set?
Speaker 12: Early?
Speaker 6: You're one of those guys early.
Speaker 12: Here's the thing.
Speaker 7: Number one, You guys have a lot of hs, so
Speaker 7: you can afford that flex.
Speaker 1: In the last six months, we did a show with
Speaker 1: the Spin Doctors.
Speaker 7: Oh Jesus and them motherfuckers actually had the nerve to
Speaker 7: make like two princes like number five in a seventeen
Speaker 7: song set and I'm looking at I ran to the
Speaker 7: side of the stage like, yo, they can afford the
Speaker 7: flex two princes that early And the answer is kind
Speaker 7: of no, like and I was wondering how that works
Speaker 7: when like you play your biggest ship like oh, and
Speaker 7: they just did it so casual, like this song.
Speaker 5: Just like start and end with your unbelievable.
Speaker 11: Biz Marquee biz Marquis starts with Jeseni.
Speaker 6: You know's gonna argue with that people.
Speaker 3: The crowd want.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's so it's so it's like not self respecting,
Speaker 5: but it's so sick to do.
Speaker 11: Wait, what what is it like in a culture where
Speaker 11: it's like single single singles. I've written an album of hits.
Speaker 11: You guys have that album. It's hits. It's hits, it
Speaker 11: hits out. It's like I've never I haven't. I mean
Speaker 11: there are other of course, but like that's a rarity.
Speaker 8: How's that? Yeah?
Speaker 6: Well, what's crazy? Do we talk about?
Speaker 5: Like Eddie Grant and people who had the one and
Speaker 5: they gotta chase that. That's always like the craziest thing.
Speaker 5: I remember when we had our first big hit, and
Speaker 5: it was funny because because this Love was our first
Speaker 5: huge hit. I remember actually it was the second biggest
Speaker 5: song of the year. The first biggest song of the
Speaker 5: year was Usher Yeah and I'll Never were number two man,
Speaker 5: But it was that meant both those songs were so
Speaker 5: big and it was like my whole thought process because
Speaker 5: the first one we had, the Harder Breathe was the
Speaker 5: first album song album that was like top five I think,
Speaker 5: and then back back when you could know what a
Speaker 5: hit was. Now, yeah, it's no gauge. This love got
Speaker 5: so big and I'm like, oh, like and then she
Speaker 5: will be loved beauty and I'm like, oh my god.
Speaker 5: I was like tear worthy because you think, okay, it
Speaker 5: could be it, one might be it, and you know what.
Speaker 7: Lucky You get worried when something gets too successful. Are
Speaker 7: you automatically thinking like, okay, can we keep it up?
Speaker 8: Can we can we?
Speaker 5: The hit game is a crazy thing because like your
Speaker 5: expectations get really unreasonably high.
Speaker 8: What is that okay?
Speaker 10: Well, metaphorically speaking, what is that high?
Speaker 5: Like when God having hits multiple hits, it's like two
Speaker 5: number one hits feels like a million because you've officially escaped, right,
Speaker 5: So that's when you know it's real, and that's when
Speaker 5: you know you could like really run with it. I
Speaker 5: think it's heart. You get pigeonholed, you know, you get
Speaker 5: you get put in this place where you're like, ah,
Speaker 5: this is like this will define you forever. This song
Speaker 5: is going to follow you around. And when you escape
Speaker 5: that a little bit, it feels really liberating because then
Speaker 5: you're like, okay, like this is gonna this has a
Speaker 5: life beyond and then again and a lot of ways
Speaker 5: it's a champagne problem because a hit is a hit
Speaker 5: is a hit, like but it's look, as we know,
Speaker 5: it's hard to latch onto that when that's all people know.
Speaker 3: Can you even fit all your hits in one show?
Speaker 3: Or do you go?
Speaker 5: I mean it depends like I'm a weirdo where it's
Speaker 5: like I love it when they're all big, big, and
Speaker 5: then the ones that aren't as big, I'm like, we'll
Speaker 5: do that one. But that's how it started, as like
Speaker 5: I remember, because we the band would fight a lot
Speaker 5: more back in the day about songs being and we
Speaker 5: we still they still want to put you on the
Speaker 5: in the set. I'm like, are you crazy?
Speaker 7: How do you guys decide who who's the alpha when
Speaker 7: it comes to.
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah me but but but also we've done things
Speaker 5: where we tried shit out and I'm like, it's not
Speaker 5: a good idea, I don't want to do it. We'll
Speaker 5: do it anyway, and then maybe and it's something on
Speaker 5: the rare the rare occasions, I'm wrong, okay, but people
Speaker 5: want to hear I think when you and I guess
Speaker 5: you could say it's like, sometimes I wish we could
Speaker 5: kind of branch out and play more that I thought
Speaker 5: was going to be more received well, but then I
Speaker 5: feel like there's an expectation, like you're not not gonna
Speaker 5: play girls like you have to playing that song or
Speaker 5: you're an asshole. So like that's and once again, it
Speaker 5: can have many problems, but it's so fun to have
Speaker 5: a set full of hits. And I remember when we
Speaker 5: first started, it was like, shit, Okay, this one is
Speaker 5: gonna go here, and then this on's gonna go here,
Speaker 5: and then this one has to go here, and then
Speaker 5: it was like, oh, but why not. My whole thing
Speaker 5: was like, oh what if we were just all hits?
Speaker 5: That's what I was thinking. I was like, manifest, but manifest,
Speaker 5: I was like, why to make them all hits?
Speaker 8: Where is weight in y'all? Section?
Speaker 6: I love that song, man, we don't play that song enough.
Speaker 6: One of them.
Speaker 5: You don't play that song enough. And I love that song.
Speaker 5: That's hard because it's kind of mellow. So it's like
Speaker 5: it's hard because we have also we don't want of
Speaker 5: ballads all of a sudden, I love that song.
Speaker 6: Though, No, that's that's a jam man, for real.
Speaker 7: I mostly judge acts, not on the hits, but the filler.
Speaker 7: Like again, a lot of your favorite wonder songs are
Speaker 7: filler songs, like at least for me, like Pastime Paradise
Speaker 7: wasn't a single another I know, but still like when
Speaker 7: people think of songs in the key life, they're thinking
Speaker 7: of summer soft, they're thinking of other songs.
Speaker 13: Like they're not do you were thinking of you just
Speaker 13: dropped the one song I don't like here's no. But
Speaker 13: here's another great example. Do you know what song was
Speaker 13: not a single? Isn't She Lovely? Was never a single?
Speaker 13: One song I thought Isn't She Lovely? Was the first single.
Speaker 6: It wasn't a single.
Speaker 7: No, it was an album cut that was so goddamn
Speaker 7: popular that we just thought he eventually made it a
Speaker 7: B side of as which I never I wish was
Speaker 7: the first single.
Speaker 6: I never knew that.
Speaker 7: I actually thought, Isn't She Lovely was the first single
Speaker 7: off song, which wasn't the case.
Speaker 1: I wish was first.
Speaker 8: Uh, then it heard Duke was second.
Speaker 5: And and I wish her back to back right on
Speaker 5: the record, they go into each other, yos, that's what's
Speaker 5: so fucked up about that? Records? Like, oh my god, but.
Speaker 3: Ps Adam was it?
Speaker 2: What did you feel like when you saw that PJ
Speaker 2: did the whole Stevie duet, Because like you said, right.
Speaker 3: Like what was that?
Speaker 5: He's talked about a lot too. Okay, We're like, oh,
Speaker 5: you talk like you'll be late.
Speaker 7: We're like, oh, Steve, can you talk about the expansion
Speaker 7: of the band and the whole story of how with PJ?
Speaker 5: Yes, Basically like Jesse left for a little bit and
Speaker 5: came back, so he when he left, should we have
Speaker 5: someone to play he PJ came in. I think that
Speaker 5: was it. I think once PJ was in, we had
Speaker 5: like it was like okay, well like a bunch of
Speaker 5: people are gonna come today and PJ came in. I'm like, no,
Speaker 5: we're good.
Speaker 2: This is now full story because we have Pj's perspective.
Speaker 2: Adam Blackstone too, right, because Adam Blackstone involved.
Speaker 7: In Yes, Yeah, there was a period where I thought
Speaker 7: I was going to be the exhibit of music, like
Speaker 7: the whole Pimp My Ride thing.
Speaker 8: Well, because we.
Speaker 6: Started you were playing with jay Z right.
Speaker 7: And right I was, And then Eminem called and was like, yo,
Speaker 7: fix my ship and then we fixed this ship, and
Speaker 7: I think once the Tonight show came then it was
Speaker 7: like I can't do this, so I gotta pass it
Speaker 7: off to somebody. So then you guys called and I
Speaker 7: was like, wait, why would a group with hits want
Speaker 7: anyone from the roots to determine their future? Like I
Speaker 7: literally taught myself out of man. I'm like, wait, he
Speaker 7: wants me to what they got hits? Like they don't
Speaker 7: need me, like just you know, fer six hits like
Speaker 7: throughout the And so we put Adam on the case,
Speaker 7: of which I thought like they might not go for this,
Speaker 7: like I think they want me there, So I physically
Speaker 7: went out there well.
Speaker 5: And then Blackstone taught me a lot about ship that
Speaker 5: I took from him, and I was like, okay, like
Speaker 5: I'm gonna I'm gonna.
Speaker 3: Do because he was I'm music director.
Speaker 6: He was r MD for a couple of tours.
Speaker 5: But then I was like, then I kind of like
Speaker 5: took all the I was like, okay, now I know dude,
Speaker 5: it'll we do good.
Speaker 4: But I wanted to ask you the session for heard
Speaker 4: him say with Kanye, what do you.
Speaker 3: Remember about Oh my god?
Speaker 5: Yes, where he's thank you for putting that up. Those
Speaker 5: were my most favorite moments. You know, back then it
Speaker 5: was like everybody was around everybody all the time. It
Speaker 5: was just there was actually a scene still. And we
Speaker 5: were at the e m As. We were on our
Speaker 5: way to the e m As in Europe, and uh
Speaker 5: he was on the plane and we met and we
Speaker 5: talked and he was like, hey, I got this. They
Speaker 5: let's do something. And so we're on the plane. Place
Speaker 5: me in this beat and I was like, I have
Speaker 5: I got something perfect for it. He's like, all right, cool,
Speaker 5: I'll hit you and get back in LA. We'll go
Speaker 5: in the studio and was with John Bryan, which I
Speaker 5: thought was like the craziest choice, so cool, like that
Speaker 5: what makes that record sound so great? I think that
Speaker 5: that collaboration was awesome. So we show up and I'm like,
Speaker 5: I'm like, he's there. They're there, and they're like, hey,
Speaker 5: go in do it, and we cut it and it
Speaker 5: was like it was just one of the best music
Speaker 5: I've discovered. And it's taken me long enough to realize
Speaker 5: this happens instantly and without thinking about it, and the
Speaker 5: worst thing you could ever do, I think is sit
Speaker 5: down and like try to write a song, because that
Speaker 5: won't ever work, you know, I can't just be like okay,
Speaker 5: and so it just has to be you have to
Speaker 5: be so unself conscious and just freedid and that was it,
Speaker 5: and he trusted me. I trusted him. Neither one of
Speaker 5: them really said much. They were kind of just let
Speaker 5: me do my thing. And then I left and I
Speaker 5: was there for an hour, you know, And but it
Speaker 5: was just so quick and easy.
Speaker 8: So you wrote what you say he.
Speaker 5: Had like heard him say sometimes. And so then I
Speaker 5: had a song that actually I put the song on
Speaker 5: an album of ours that was not that was the
Speaker 5: version I heard him say before. But ours was like
Speaker 5: nothing's ever. His was nothing's ever promised tomorrow today, and
Speaker 5: mine was nothing last forever. But be honest, it hurts, hurts,
Speaker 5: but it will be the maybe the only way I took.
Speaker 5: We took those two and we smashed them together and
Speaker 5: made him made what became hurt him say, but it
Speaker 5: was it was the same melody.
Speaker 6: So the melody went.
Speaker 5: Over the beat perfectly, like eerily perfectly, and I was
Speaker 5: like ship. That was one of those like synergistic moments
Speaker 5: that I'll never forget. And then it's one of my
Speaker 5: favorite things I wrote. Yeah, it's and to this day
Speaker 5: that's like all the ship I've managed to accomplisable Room five,
Speaker 5: Like that's the number one thing. Especially guys, guys I
Speaker 5: feel comfortable saying that they love. They may not stay
Speaker 5: comfortably like Sugar, but the.
Speaker 8: Record where you.
Speaker 7: Guys are now with doing your your residency stuff, how
Speaker 7: do you? And it's so weird that you know, maybe
Speaker 7: pre Celine Dion, Vegas was seeing as a four letter
Speaker 7: word of a career, like you want to avoid the
Speaker 7: end of the train stop, which is that?
Speaker 1: But now it's almost like you gotta get a Vegas.
Speaker 6: Regular kill that shit. Vegas used to be that way.
Speaker 6: A singer being on TV used to be that way.
Speaker 5: He'd be like, shit, this is it, You're gonna do
Speaker 5: this TV. So it's changed so much, and I think
Speaker 5: we kind of let we gotta let it come to
Speaker 5: us over time, because we had a couple offers early.
Speaker 5: Early I was like it was too scary because nobody
Speaker 5: was really doing it yet.
Speaker 7: Did you have trepidation about accepting the voice like wait
Speaker 7: a minute, oh yeah, oh.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm a singer song and I don't want to.
Speaker 6: Back then, I mean it was like twenty eleven twelve.
Speaker 10: Did you discuss it with the band first or like, oh,
Speaker 10: the band was not.
Speaker 3: I know they weren't because it's like, I'm not working.
Speaker 3: What do you mean you're going to work every day?
Speaker 6: Also like but also forget about that. They were like
Speaker 6: what are you doing right?
Speaker 3: And what does what make us look like?
Speaker 5: To share?
Speaker 6: This has spin around ruin our career.
Speaker 5: So there was a lot of fear with the voice,
Speaker 5: like I remember that too, and I remember even then
Speaker 5: being like remember earlier, hey let me lead. I didn't
Speaker 5: believe my own words. But I was like, it's good,
Speaker 5: It's gonna be great. Like shit, I don't know, because
Speaker 5: the band kind of like plateaued a little bit, and
Speaker 5: so we were looking for something and it was one
Speaker 5: of those moments where I was like, this could either
Speaker 5: be the biggest disaster or the or the greatest I'm
Speaker 5: either go like a genius or an idiot. There's no
Speaker 5: in between it.
Speaker 7: So what was the process of coming up with Jagger
Speaker 7: And at the time did you feel like all right,
Speaker 7: this is it or was it like an arranged marriage
Speaker 7: situation where it's like I gotta have a song for
Speaker 7: the show, and.
Speaker 5: Well, what's crazy, this is a great story. So how
Speaker 5: they could say, gus the story, this is a great
Speaker 5: fucking story. So we had a single out, so we
Speaker 5: had I think this was like our third third album.
Speaker 5: We had a single out called never Gonna Leave This Bed,
Speaker 5: which is a great song, but it just wasn't a hit,
Speaker 5: and it wasn't and it was kind of stalling and
Speaker 5: all that stuff, and the label it would kind of
Speaker 5: like one of the like I said, we were kind
Speaker 5: of it was kind of platauing a little bit, and
Speaker 5: but I was on the voice. It just started shooting
Speaker 5: the voice and this song kind of it was like
Speaker 5: Jagger just kind of just fell into our laps, like
Speaker 5: these guys had it and they were like Originally the
Speaker 5: story with it was that it was meant for like
Speaker 5: a female artist to sing about a guy he's like
Speaker 5: he got the moves like Jackson and knowing what he
Speaker 5: wanted to touch it really and then I think even maybe
Speaker 5: it was pitched to like Genell Monad, I'm sure, and
Speaker 5: point it was like, I know that sounds crazy. She
Speaker 5: didn't obviously didn't want to do it, but like I
Speaker 5: remember hearing that name. It was early early, and then
Speaker 5: I kind of got in there and I had like,
Speaker 5: I'm a lyrics guy, like if the lyrics are really bad,
Speaker 5: like I can't touch something. So I had to go
Speaker 5: in and I was like, look, I think this could
Speaker 5: be great. I'll say I got the moves like Jack,
Speaker 5: and they're like, are sure you want to do that?
Speaker 5: That's kind of a crazy thing to say because the
Speaker 5: song was about like a romantic, you know, love interest
Speaker 5: for a girl. It was like a totally different perspective.
Speaker 5: And I was like, yeah, fuck it, why not? And
Speaker 5: then fixed the lyrics, which were like not good and
Speaker 5: Shellback great songwriter producer kind of it was his like Kernel.
Speaker 5: He was basically his idea, but there was like gibberish
Speaker 5: on the lyrics. So I got to run with those
Speaker 5: a little bit.
Speaker 8: Were you allowed to Yeah?
Speaker 5: Okay, I couldn't live with what was there? Bro?
Speaker 8: That sounds like a Max.
Speaker 6: One I never co wrote before, know the rules.
Speaker 5: I was like, yeah, we gotta change Swedish.
Speaker 8: They're Swedish.
Speaker 5: It was very It.
Speaker 6: Was a lot I want to sing.
Speaker 5: It wasn't Yeah, it was shell Back and that was
Speaker 5: like early because he was like maxis protege kind of.
Speaker 5: That was like the beginning of my relationship with Max
Speaker 5: and and show Back and all the that was like
Speaker 5: the Swede the Swede era, who did you physically go there?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 6: I didn't go. I haven't gone yet, okay, and I still
Speaker 6: haven't gone.
Speaker 5: But I love they were all here.
Speaker 11: Their lyrics are all gibberish, though it's most of them.
Speaker 5: They don't give it about later, which was great.
Speaker 8: What do they care about?
Speaker 6: But that was a dream for me because I'm like, oh, cool,
Speaker 6: I do give.
Speaker 5: A ship about and They're like, great, we don't give
Speaker 5: a ship. So I was like, awesome. It was a
Speaker 5: perfect relationship.
Speaker 8: So they then may prioritize that, but that's what That's
Speaker 8: what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: But they were the best at that. So they had
Speaker 5: that and I was like, I'm gonna talking about like
Speaker 5: your favorite car, you're Ferra. I'm like, no, that sounds
Speaker 5: like him. I was like, that ship right.
Speaker 6: So we changed it.
Speaker 5: We made him more bearable anyway, So that happened.
Speaker 6: It was great.
Speaker 5: It was fun. We were like, man, we got a
Speaker 5: fucking monster. I went to Mark Burnett, it was a
Speaker 5: producer of the voice, and I'm like, so we had
Speaker 5: a single.
Speaker 6: So here's where the story gets really good.
Speaker 5: So we had a single out so the you know,
Speaker 5: Interscope was pushing the single and we had this other
Speaker 5: song right that he didn't really I mean I wrote it,
Speaker 5: but not really. And uh Jordan, our manager, kind of
Speaker 5: hatched this scheme of like, okay, so we got Christina
Speaker 5: Aguilera to do the bridge of that song. It was
Speaker 5: like Jack, she's on the voice too. Obviously, Mark Burnett's like,
Speaker 5: I want this song, like I don't want you to
Speaker 5: do your single. I want you to do that. I
Speaker 5: played it for him, I played the song from him.
Speaker 6: He was crazy.
Speaker 5: He's like, dude on the show, but you have to
Speaker 5: get someone from the voice. And I'm gonna we can't
Speaker 5: put your single. You gotta do this song. I'm like,
Speaker 5: all right, fine, fucking Interscope's not gonna like this at all.
Speaker 1: Is Ron fair anywhere in the story, No, damn.
Speaker 8: He was going as like Jimmy.
Speaker 5: Jimmy was still Jimmy was still kind of running things
Speaker 5: whenever Beach was like about to happen, Oka, he almost
Speaker 5: got dig a ship.
Speaker 14: Even back then, I've been there before anywhere goes.
Speaker 5: I want to just keep.
Speaker 15: You already known, so fact come on Loca this guy.
Speaker 5: So so you're like, okay, how do we do this
Speaker 5: because we got a song. So we didn't tell anybody
Speaker 5: in the scope, which is like crazy, right. We just
Speaker 5: did it and it was live, right, So so that
Speaker 5: was when like the song will go available, they would like,
Speaker 5: you do something on TV, A zillion people will watch
Speaker 5: it because's wheople used to watch TV. And then the
Speaker 5: next day the ship would just shoot to the top
Speaker 5: on like iTunes all that stuff. And so we just
Speaker 5: didn't tell anybody. We did it live. And so that night, Jimmy,
Speaker 5: everybody calls and it's like, what the fuck, like our present,
Speaker 5: our label, guys are in indie guy.
Speaker 6: I was like, this is fuck.
Speaker 3: What the fuck?
Speaker 5: You guys went rogue, like you have a single out.
Speaker 5: I can't believe you didn't.
Speaker 6: This is the worst piece of shit I've ever heard
Speaker 6: in my life. What are you doing?
Speaker 5: And Jordy it was just like cold blooded. He was
Speaker 5: just like, let's talk in the morning. He was like,
Speaker 5: let's just talk in the morning. And of course the
Speaker 5: morning boom, biggest song on the planet and uh. And
Speaker 5: so that was like that was the moment where it
Speaker 5: was like, okay, record label, we will deliver the songs
Speaker 5: to you and you will put them out Like that
Speaker 5: was the battle that we won. And I still I
Speaker 5: will talk shit about all this because I don't give
Speaker 5: a fuck, like because record label shouldn't tell I don't
Speaker 5: think what PANTS was to do. And so that was
Speaker 5: where we took all the power because they were completely wrong. Hey,
Speaker 5: if we were wrong, it would be like we would
Speaker 5: be babysat for the rest of our lives.
Speaker 3: But plus you had a steady path after that.
Speaker 2: It's like, I'm still on this platform, so I'm gonna
Speaker 2: still be selling your ship and it's to go higher
Speaker 2: because I'm here.
Speaker 5: So, like I said, we became an r in that moment.
Speaker 6: I was like, give me my badge over that.
Speaker 8: After that, then they just left you guys alone, and
Speaker 8: I don't.
Speaker 6: Think I talked to another person in the regular label
Speaker 6: to this day. I love that.
Speaker 7: Okay, So I did want to ask you as a
Speaker 7: member of a band whose manager was kind of like
Speaker 7: our fifth beatle, Richard Nichols, like he was our Peter Grant,
Speaker 7: you know, our George Martin. That devastated us so much
Speaker 7: that we never made an album after, Like we're it's
Speaker 7: it's always ten years to make and one of the
Speaker 7: biggest fears was how do we even navigate without his
Speaker 7: presence to tell us things? How did you bounce back
Speaker 7: from from Jordan's passing away? Like, how did that affect
Speaker 7: the band?
Speaker 5: You know, it'll never be the same, I think, like
Speaker 5: for accepting that is important because when he passed away,
Speaker 5: First of all, it was super sudden, it was super tragic.
Speaker 5: He was too young, was so you know, still to
Speaker 5: every single band, not a day goes by I don't
Speaker 5: think about. And it was a crazy moment because he
Speaker 5: passed away all of a sudden, we were thrust into
Speaker 5: that whole Super Bowl nightmare, which couldn't have needed him
Speaker 5: more for anything than I did in that moment. Didn't
Speaker 5: have him twenty nineteen, Okay, so that all these things
Speaker 5: happened that I really needed him for. So yeah, Look,
Speaker 5: I thought we talked every day. Every single decision we
Speaker 5: made was was a joint decision. Nothing was decided alone.
Speaker 5: So I felt overwhelmed because I did make a lot
Speaker 5: of these decisions with him, right, So, and then we'd
Speaker 5: go to talk to the band and so shit, I mean,
Speaker 5: it's a hole that will never be filled. I think
Speaker 5: that I kind of thought to myself, Okay, we got
Speaker 5: to have a couple of big songs, because first of all,
Speaker 5: he lived.
Speaker 6: And died by if we could do that.
Speaker 5: It was almost like that's what kept me going, was like, Okay,
Speaker 5: I know what this dude wants, right, and you know,
Speaker 5: you get into the ethereal and the spiritual and all
Speaker 5: that stuff. But like I definitely felt like I knew
Speaker 5: what he would be saying right, Like whether I was
Speaker 5: telling myself that or not, it's still I could feel
Speaker 5: him all the time, and I kind of tried to
Speaker 5: let him because you know, we have great people, and
Speaker 5: you know, great people taking taking the reins. But of
Speaker 5: course it's never gonna be They all know it's never
Speaker 5: gonna be the same. And I just tried to like
Speaker 5: listen for him a little bit and just go, Okay,
Speaker 5: I could tell when he was angry, fucking laughing. I
Speaker 5: could tell when I could I could tell when I
Speaker 5: was about to make a decision that he would be
Speaker 5: pissed that I would make right, and just tried to
Speaker 5: like adhere to that a little bit. But I mean
Speaker 5: it's just and still, I mean it's it's not as
Speaker 5: heavy as it was in the beginning, but like, and
Speaker 5: I mean to do the super Bowl. I mean, no,
Speaker 5: no one really caught it. But this first thing I
Speaker 5: said on that mic was like this for you, Jordy,
Speaker 5: you know, the most exciting moment I think for me
Speaker 5: kind of post Jordan was surviving the super Bowl. But
Speaker 5: that's the whole fucking nightmare conversation. But it was it
Speaker 5: was like having a big, big, big memories girls like you,
Speaker 5: Like those were big songs and they were after Jordy,
Speaker 5: and so like that made me feel like like, can
Speaker 5: we can do a version of this like without him?
Speaker 5: But it also never feels like he was really gone.
Speaker 5: So until every night I play Memories, is like think
Speaker 5: about him every single time. So it's he's still around.
Speaker 5: He's still around. But yeah, it's it's it's impossible. It's
Speaker 5: impossible not.
Speaker 6: To have him.
Speaker 8: But it forces you to grow up and now, yeah.
Speaker 5: And take more accountability for the decisions, you know, make
Speaker 5: those decisions with confidence and grow up. You gotta grow
Speaker 5: up because he was he was my greatest I always say,
Speaker 5: he was like my protector, the dude I have my back.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 12: Oh my god, I cannot believe we have winning.
Speaker 6: God I'm happy, isn't live.
Speaker 8: How the field to have these guys in your band?
Speaker 1: And please six grammys?
Speaker 8: These guys, these guys.
Speaker 6: Know the band we have eight? We got eight Grammys. Yeah, ok, yeah,
Speaker 6: we only responsible for less than half of those.
Speaker 8: Doesn't matter.
Speaker 5: No, really, no, if it matter, we wouldn't be talking
Speaker 5: about it.
Speaker 6: We'd be holding it inside.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Notice the fact he jokes about it on stage almost
Speaker 6: every night. I'm like, I'm like, like, keyboard, introduce this guy.
Speaker 6: He loves when I talk about all his Grammys, right
Speaker 6: because I hate it.
Speaker 15: I hate it.
Speaker 10: Yeah, they told me I was gonna win more Grammys, and.
Speaker 6: I'm like, man, you know it's cool.
Speaker 14: I'm happy to get that one. It took forever for
Speaker 14: me to get one. I'm like, you know, man, look,
Speaker 14: I'm just happy.
Speaker 1: I'm just they fit in the bathroom.
Speaker 6: You got to put them out on your Yeah.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 6: But I mean I think it's also such different worlds too.
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, you know on the.
Speaker 5: Tour thread, you know, on our band, thread will be
Speaker 5: like can you grass PJ?
Speaker 6: Like I just asked Adam.
Speaker 2: I was like, love a life when you saw the
Speaker 2: PJ got to duet with Stevie's like, man, I like
Speaker 2: to remind him.
Speaker 5: I'm like, whatever, man, I remember my first beer.
Speaker 14: Yeah yeah, no, you performed live when I'm at like
Speaker 14: Live eight or something live.
Speaker 5: And almost was so petrified I almost didn't make to
Speaker 5: the stage and really, oh yeah. It was like a
Speaker 5: mill record us delivery.
Speaker 6: And by the way, talk about no rehearsal. I meet
Speaker 6: the dude.
Speaker 5: Sorry, I'm taking your ship right now, but you can
Speaker 5: talk about yours. I'm chilling, he goes, he goes, he goes,
Speaker 5: uh no, like I'm listening to the record kind of thing.
Speaker 6: I'm like, sh okay, I know the record, Okay, practicing
Speaker 6: to it.
Speaker 5: I meet him for thirty seconds, right, and he gives
Speaker 5: me a big bear hug, big Stevie Barrack and he's like.
Speaker 6: Like all right.
Speaker 5: He's like minutes before we go, right, and he's like
Speaker 5: all right, So like you do like a fool, He's
Speaker 5: telling me all the ship I gotta do.
Speaker 6: I'm like, really, bro, like this is it. He's like yeah,
Speaker 6: He's like oh downstown yeah.
Speaker 5: And so I'm like all right. And so I'm standing
Speaker 5: on side of the stage and Fred you know, tour
Speaker 5: managers got me in and He's goes, come out here
Speaker 5: just sing this ship, and I'm like, like, I've never
Speaker 5: frozen before.
Speaker 6: But it was like a million people there and.
Speaker 12: It was Steve.
Speaker 6: I'm like, if this up, it's not good. And so
Speaker 6: I'm like, oh ship, And you can see this the
Speaker 6: video of it.
Speaker 5: You see me running to get to the mic, and then,
Speaker 5: of course, in the worst fashion, I mess up the
Speaker 5: first line so bad. I mean I I caught myself
Speaker 5: and finally got into the.
Speaker 6: It was great. It wound up being great, but I
Speaker 6: was like to stay too long and then like it's horrible.
Speaker 5: Still here, man, God, I figured out anywhere that's my.
Speaker 7: Se so sorry for So, how how far in the
Speaker 7: creative process are you guys into another product like your
Speaker 7: next project?
Speaker 6: Man, I'm writing we have us too.
Speaker 5: I am on on one, like I no more code writers,
Speaker 5: So I'm done. It got It's just after however, many
Speaker 5: years and all the things we got to do, like
Speaker 5: I finally have just started doing it on my own
Speaker 5: and everything now is coming from me, starting with me,
Speaker 5: and that's I have never been happier like it originally was. Yeah,
Speaker 5: going nuts.
Speaker 7: So when do you for your creative process? When is
Speaker 7: your best time of creating. Are you a nighttime person?
Speaker 7: First thing? In the morning person?
Speaker 5: Daytime like midday like I'm useless like after eight and
Speaker 5: and in the early early morning, like I need to
Speaker 5: do shit to like get my brain right, Like.
Speaker 8: What is your morning routine?
Speaker 5: Just like exercise, I have to exercise. I can't think,
Speaker 5: like I have to get out and run.
Speaker 6: Shout out to Austin.
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's exciting for me because I joined the band
Speaker 14: at a unique time, you know, be fourteen years in July.
Speaker 14: But I joined on the last album where it was
Speaker 14: like heavy heavy, like all band, right, the one you
Speaker 14: guys did in Switzerland. And then I always say pre
Speaker 14: moves like Jagger, post moves like Jagger. But then I
Speaker 14: think he just needed a break in a way, like
Speaker 14: just a brain break. And it took years, I think
Speaker 14: from all of that, I mean eighth grade, you know,
Speaker 14: being a band, all of that, and to see him
Speaker 14: now I hadn't.
Speaker 6: This is like vintage Adam.
Speaker 14: He's like excited like a kid, like sending me records
Speaker 14: every other day, like and they're good and they sound
Speaker 14: like him, and it's like I tried to give him one.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 14: Some of my boys be like yo, man, slide this,
Speaker 14: I said him. He was like, bro, I just gotta
Speaker 14: I gotta do it myself, you know. And I told
Speaker 14: understand that. So I'm just I'm excited.
Speaker 6: It's the opposite for this era. It's the opposite it
Speaker 6: used to be.
Speaker 5: For a minute, I felt like the security blanket of
Speaker 5: like if the ideas came from elsewhere, that I wouldn't
Speaker 5: have the pressure of creating them. And that's addictive, especially
Speaker 5: when you have some success with it, because you're like, Okay, fuck,
Speaker 5: this formula works. And then very very recently with people,
Speaker 5: I don't know what's going on. This is a whole
Speaker 5: other sidebar. But music is crazy, like I don't know,
Speaker 5: I have lost and maybe I'm old. I don't know
Speaker 5: what's going on, but like shit is sideways so much,
Speaker 5: I don't know what's happening. So I started getting ideas
Speaker 5: as usual, but like every idea was one idea was
Speaker 5: worse than the next. I'm like, I can do better
Speaker 5: than this. So I think that was a very organic
Speaker 5: like way to come to that conclusion. It wasn't like yeah, because.
Speaker 14: You were cool with the other I mean, like you're curating,
Speaker 14: you know, you would fix these lyrics to make it
Speaker 14: fit fit us.
Speaker 6: But like now it's like now I can't even hear
Speaker 6: I don't want to hear other stuff. I'm not interested
Speaker 6: like I used to only be interested in that.
Speaker 3: But I hope I'm not asking this this. This is
Speaker 3: a dumb question.
Speaker 2: And y'all have already done this because I know that PJA,
Speaker 2: you do background vocals and stuff, But have y'all.
Speaker 3: Ever have y'all done anything together yet?
Speaker 6: Well, even written.
Speaker 14: You need to come by the way, like I know,
Speaker 14: I know, we talked about it. Look it's crazy to say.
Speaker 14: I mean, I've been in this band a long time.
Speaker 14: I'd be super busy when.
Speaker 6: I'm not the band.
Speaker 14: He's locked in so much now I'm like, man, why
Speaker 14: you wait till I just like fill in every gap
Speaker 14: that we have, you know.
Speaker 6: But I'm like, I need parts of this, like what
Speaker 6: he's doing right now.
Speaker 14: I'm trying to trying to get in. I sent a
Speaker 14: couple of tracks, but he's just moved. I'm talking about
Speaker 14: like three songs a day type vibe.
Speaker 6: That's what he's on right now.
Speaker 14: But I've only written one song with the band, and
Speaker 14: it was because it was an experiment. Twenty four hours
Speaker 14: to not remember. I know, bro, we had to create
Speaker 14: a song in twenty four hours in front of the
Speaker 14: world watching this was early like live stream.
Speaker 1: Just put a camera side this, yeah, straight.
Speaker 6: Up and then you say and there were comment it's
Speaker 6: on you.
Speaker 14: So you see the America go to sleep and then
Speaker 14: you see Asia wake up and they're all commenting like
Speaker 14: we love this part.
Speaker 6: And it's like he took a nap and I was like,
Speaker 6: we need to they have to watch the take a bridge.
Speaker 6: He went to the other room. It was and I
Speaker 6: wrote the bridge was all night. It was twenty four hours.
Speaker 12: It was.
Speaker 14: It was kind of like torture, like this experience literally torture.
Speaker 14: Know that twenty four is a little different.
Speaker 5: Well now now now I feel like right now we'd
Speaker 5: be out in like three hours, it's done.
Speaker 6: But back then it was like weird.
Speaker 7: I think the general rule for me, if we're still
Speaker 7: harping on an idea after twenty minutes, then it's time
Speaker 7: to lock it down and do it or go to
Speaker 7: the next door.
Speaker 6: It's gotta be in an instant. It's gotta be it's there.
Speaker 11: If it's not there, it's not there, I.
Speaker 8: Don't work it. If it's work. It's work.
Speaker 6: You don't write music, so you.
Speaker 5: Just get so stuck.
Speaker 7: I know you guys don't like that idea, but I
Speaker 7: now I now want to creatively explore that idea as
Speaker 7: a project.
Speaker 10: The twenty four though, but you don't. You don't like
Speaker 10: the pressure.
Speaker 6: I don't remember it because it was trauma. I mean, like, yeah,
Speaker 6: you you you don't want people to watch you were eighteen.
Speaker 5: You're like, okay, look there's a world where I could
Speaker 5: see it's it's like and I can see your wheels
Speaker 5: turning about it because you're like this sounds kind of dope.
Speaker 8: Like yeah, I'm like documenting right now.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you get in there.
Speaker 14: I write a platform that will I like the Compact
Speaker 14: Time I just did out in thirty days in Africa,
Speaker 14: So I like that.
Speaker 6: But the twenty four, like, I like sleep.
Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: People watch you have to like watch it.
Speaker 4: Why It's like, I just think to observe a process
Speaker 4: is to change it, Like you're not really if you're
Speaker 4: watching me create now I'm conscious that you're watching me.
Speaker 5: So now, even a documentary I remember because they came
Speaker 5: to shoot us like a couple of weeks ago, and
Speaker 5: I was like it was me. I was flying like
Speaker 5: I was on one and then the second they all
Speaker 5: got in my face because when we did the thing,
Speaker 5: it was camera people and sound people everywhere, hundred people there.
Speaker 8: Action.
Speaker 6: It's not good. It's probably like sex scene, but everybody
Speaker 6: maybe a go pros.
Speaker 5: But make sure there's no people after like other style.
Speaker 2: Here right now.
Speaker 8: We can damn it.
Speaker 5: We can improve this process, all right, We gotta wrap
Speaker 5: the show up.
Speaker 7: However, one final question, because I wanted to ask you
Speaker 7: just frothy everyday regular questions, but I'll pose it to
Speaker 7: the both of you.
Speaker 1: House on fire, and you got to save five albums.
Speaker 6: I don't do this and not box sets or greatest
Speaker 6: hits about double albums.
Speaker 7: Double albums are allowed as a single album. What five
Speaker 7: albums are you saving?
Speaker 14: You should go back and forth, okay, Steed with Stevie Visions.
Speaker 6: Probably for me that's not as much music songs and
Speaker 6: life though no repeat those nine songs.
Speaker 1: Warrant Sweet Cherry be making just a drum solo and
Speaker 1: you got you gotta say in the microphone.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna take sons like y life just because it's
Speaker 5: longer and I'll get more out of it.
Speaker 8: And it's safer.
Speaker 6: All right, albums I like her? Sure, I'm looking for
Speaker 6: like the albums I like.
Speaker 2: Okay, don't worry about impressing this crew, just say that
Speaker 2: ship you go.
Speaker 6: I'll probably take abbey Road. I was gonna say, take yours,
Speaker 6: all right, off the Wall, yes, sir?
Speaker 8: All right? Three?
Speaker 5: Now I'm tempted to go, like doing another Michael record.
Speaker 6: Now do you do well?
Speaker 1: Thriller's not on your list.
Speaker 12: Your house deserves to get burned.
Speaker 6: Like the Pree.
Speaker 8: I like the Pree, the Pinkerton of Thriller's Blue album.
Speaker 5: Not because you said off the Wall, but I would
Speaker 5: between those two Thriller, look at the Thriller. That's three.
Speaker 3: All right, all right, you'll gotta name someone.
Speaker 6: Now I'm throw me the one album.
Speaker 10: You wouldn't expect your fan base to expect that you
