It's hard to believe. I 50 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 2: don't know if it's hard for you to believe. It's 51 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 2: hard to believe fifty years and I know you've got 52 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 2: some very exciting things for fans planned out for that. 53 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 1: Let's discuss that. 54 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 3: Well, am I. We've talked about this before, that my 55 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 3: music has power and authority because of the incredible musicians 56 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 3: that have been at my side for the last sixty 57 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 3: five years. And we recorded Stranglehold in nineteen seventy five 58 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 3: with Rob Grange and Cliff Davis and Derek Saint Holmes, 59 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 3: my producers, Tom Wormon and engineer Tony Reality. Everybody just 60 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 3: immersed themselves into the spirit, the sound, the drum tones, 61 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 3: the guitar tones, the bass tones, the lyric content, the 62 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 3: piss and the vinegar, the energy of that song. And 63 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 3: people have embraced the song Stranglehold fifty years and onward. 64 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 3: Especially might the Navy seals that call me, the Army Rangers, 65 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 3: the Green Beret Delta Force that used that song during 66 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 3: their training end, when they're putting their life on the line. 67 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 3: And I can't imagine a testimonial that gives a guy 68 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 3: more confidence and happiness than a piece of music represents 69 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 3: that to those superhuman beings. So yeah, fifty years of straggling. 70 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 3: By the way, I played it for a buddy of 71 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 3: mine and my man Cave Cuckoo's Nest arsenal of Democracy 72 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 3: this morning, and the hairs on my arm stood up 73 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 3: fully erect because I still love the spirit of that song. 74 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 2: Well, it is timeless, It is truly timeless, and I 75 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 2: don't know that we've ever done this. Let's talk about 76 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 2: where that song came from, because I believe that art 77 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 2: floats in the ether and you just grab hold of 78 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 2: it for a moment. 79 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: But what was going on with you? 80 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 2: How did you first hear it? Were you noodling on 81 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 2: the guitar or did you hear it completely? 82 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: Tell me about that. 83 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 3: Well, I'm always playing. I played my guitar and shoot 84 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 3: my bow and trained with my firearms literally, Michael, every day. 85 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 3: It's just it's stuff that I have a passion about. 86 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 3: They all play a pragmatic and inspirational purpose in my life. 87 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 3: But in my youth, I was always playing Chuck Berry 88 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 3: and Bo Diddley and Little Richard and Motown funk Brothers, 89 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 3: and the right hand on my guitar developed a percussiveness, 90 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 3: a rhythmical kind of a nugent MotorCity version of Bo 91 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 3: Diddley's chuck a chuck A chucka. And just one day 92 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 3: I was tuning my guitar and that happened. That move happened, 93 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 3: and there was really nothing I could do about it. 94 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 3: It had a heartbeat of its own, and then the 95 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 3: lyrics just flowed. The lyrics are defiance against the music 96 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 3: industry that turned me down for all those years, because 97 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 3: long guitar solos don't make it anymore. We need some 98 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 3: pop music and disco's coming in. And I said, yeah, 99 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 3: well listen to this song, kids. So the song is 100 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 3: one of defiance against an industry that was losing its 101 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 3: touch with the original black influences of soul music and 102 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 3: rhythm and blues inspired rock and roll. So like this morning, Michael, 103 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 3: this morning, I was playing a Gibson Birdland through a 104 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 3: Fender twin app and I'm telling you all these new 105 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 3: variations kind of a bastardized honky tonk meets boogie woogie, 106 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 3: and there's always new topography to explore on the guitar neck. 107 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 3: And because I have such a passion and a dedication 108 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 3: to trying to be Chuck Berry when I grow up, 109 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 3: that all these new lick patterns happen. It happens all 110 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:52,799 Speaker 3: the time. 111 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 2: You know, you have talked a lot over the years 112 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 2: in our conversations about Chuck Berry, and I think a 113 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 2: lot of young folks to say, we'll have no idea how 114 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 2: big Chuck Berry was and also how influential Chuck Berry was. 115 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 2: Why is that for you? 116 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 3: Well, I think I've summarized it numerous times in interviews, 117 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 3: and the facts remain that there's not a piece of music. 118 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 3: Now that this is a bold, expansive statement, which I'm 119 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 3: pretty good at, but there isn't a piece of music, 120 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 3: Michael Berry, that you really get a kick out of 121 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 3: and want to turn up when it comes on the 122 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 3: radio and makes your truck go faster that doesn't have 123 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 3: an essence of what Chuck Berry created cadence wise, rhythmically, upbeat, 124 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 3: spirit wise, cocky, irreverent fun. There is not a powerful 125 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,559 Speaker 3: piece of music in anyone's life, and I'd be glad 126 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 3: to debate this for anybody that doesn't have a direct 127 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 3: inspiration from Chuck Berry's catalog. I don't care if it's country, 128 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 3: I don't care if it's blues. I don't care if 129 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 3: it's rock and roll. Even a lot of pop music 130 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 3: they've got that Chuck Berry cadence that when you listen 131 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 3: to Johnny be Good or Carol or roll Over Beethoven 132 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 3: or Sweet Sixteen, you listen to those original Chuck Berry songs, 133 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 3: and it's a parent that all moving, authoritative music comes 134 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 3: from that genius. And Michael I played bass guitar with 135 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 3: Chuck Berry, which is why I am like I am today. 136 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 3: I promise you. 137 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 2: Well, you know your life experiences.

You're 201 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 2: a Texan now through and through, but I know Michigan 202 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 2: holds a special place in your heart. I had a 203 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 2: Sunday school teacher say to me twenty five years ago, 204 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,079 Speaker 2: if you want to know who you said to all 205 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 2: of us in the class, we want know who you're 206 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 2: going to be five years from now. Look at your 207 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 2: closest friends, because they're going to pick you up or 208 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,679 Speaker 2: they're going to drop you down. They're going to take 209 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 2: you with them where they're going. That's where you're headed. 210 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 2: And it's interesting. I talk to a lot of musicians. 211 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 2: I'm passionate about music. I can't make music, but somebody 212 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 2: has to consume it, right, And I'm really passionate about 213 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 2: how the art is made and what it means to 214 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 2: people and these sorts of things. And you talk about collaboration. 215 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,959 Speaker 2: Every time you and I talk and I ask you 216 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 2: a question about Ted Nugent and what Ted Nugent has done, 217 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 2: you always go to a Chuck Berry comes up a lot. 218 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 2: You always go to the influences and the collaboration. And 219 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 2: I think that's a takeaway whatever you're in, if you're 220 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 2: a financial advisor, a plant worker, the people you surround 221 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 2: yourself with and bounce off of are going to make 222 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 2: you better or worse. And I hear that from you 223 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 2: every time I talk to you. How playing with other 224 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 2: people and their influences and those collaborations is a thrill 225 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 2: for you and has made you who you are. 226 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 1: And I think that's important. 227 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 3: I don't think there's anything more important. My dad used 228 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,959 Speaker 3: to say as I was growing up, tell me who 229 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 3: you hang with, and I'll tell you who you are. Now. 230 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 3: I dismiss that in my stupidity of youth, but it 231 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 3: turned out to be true. And I have an inner circle, 232 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 3: quite an expansive inner circle, Michael, which, by the way, 233 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 3: you're a member of a good people of the spirit, 234 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 3: good will and decency, work, ethic, God, family, country. Still 235 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 3: conduct our lives based on the Constitution, the build rights 236 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 3: and decoration of independence and commandments, the Golden Rule, law 237 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 3: and order, good over evil, self defense, freedom of speech, etc. Etc. 238 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 3: And those are the people that I accumulated in my family, 239 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 3: my friends, my band, my crew, my management, my hunting buddies. 240 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 3: I have a hunting operation called Sunrise Safaris, and Michael, 241 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 3: I share campfires with hundreds and hundreds of families every year. 242 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 3: And that's why I salute you, because when you talk, 243 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 3: you talk just like those families around the campfire that 244 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 3: put their heart and soul into being the best that 245 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 3: you can be. And when you put your heart and 246 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 3: soul into being the best that you can be as 247 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 3: a musician, great music happens so I've always surrounded myself 248 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 3: with the best rhythm section, the best singers, the best creators, 249 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 3: and you hear that in the music. The performance that 250 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 3: these guys put into my compositions is every artist's dream 251 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 3: because there's a passion. And by the way, we keep 252 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:55,079 Speaker 3: mentioning Chuck Berry. Everybody in all of my bands and 253 00:13:55,240 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 3: all of my crew, everybody references Chuck Berry. So that cadence, 254 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 3: that spirit, that energy, that uppiness, that defiance. There's a 255 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 3: lot of defiance in that music, and that's what inspires us. 256 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 3: And even though we're old men now, Michael, when we 257 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 3: get in the barn and start jamming, it's like a 258 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 3: bunch of kids. It's like a bunch of kids that 259 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 3: want to play Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley and play 260 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 3: motown hits. In fact, we do. That's how all of 261 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 3: our rehearsals start with those classic songs. And once you 262 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 3: start hitting those rhythms and those movements, all of a sudden, 263 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 3: it can become your own when you create your own 264 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 3: chord patterns, your own melodies, your own lyrics, and your 265 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 3: own arrangements. And that's attributed to these unbelievable musicians that 266 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 3: are at my side again. John Kutz on drums out 267 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 3: of Waco, Texas. Jason Hartless on drums out of Nashville, 268 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 3: Johnny Big out of Waco.

The music has never been more tight. 271 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 3: James Brown would hire us as his band. We're so 272 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 3: tight and so energetic. So these are the good old 273 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 3: days of my music.

We sold out 319 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 2: just like that. We sold out fast. Number two is 320 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 2: we have never knew it did so much sound. It 321 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 2: was an entire eighteen wheeler of speakers. 322 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: That came in. 323 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 2: It was insane, I mean insane.

And I don't 329 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:30,439 Speaker 2: know if I've ever thanked you for that, but that 330 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 2: was a hell of a night. 331 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 3: Brother.

Bruce and Tom and I were all 438 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 3: raised on Chuck Berry and Mitch Ryder music, so I 439 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 3: will overlook the stupid politics and just jam on killer music. 440 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 3: How's that. 441 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 2: I love it, and I can appreciate that the art 442 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,400 Speaker 2: at that moment takes precedence. You know, it's really too 443 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 2: bad because Springsteen has written some really good stuff, and 444 00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 2: I love his hard scrabble story and love his truth 445 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 2: in his how he stayed true to New Jersey in 446 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:10,640 Speaker 2: the gritty you know, New Jersey Street.

I'm congratulating him, and 450 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 3: I'm bringing a lot of important issues to the forefront. 451 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 3: Some people who have been illegally law fared, like a 452 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 3: felon farmer in Michigan who's never been a wrestler or 453 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,439 Speaker 3: given a speeding ticket, but he's now a felon because 454 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 3: he had a bad muffler on a tractor according to 455 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:43,120 Speaker 3: the jack boot thugs of the EPA.

We got a sheriff pardoned in West 460 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 3: Virginia who was law fared, and there's been so much 461 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 3: of that.
