1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: This is jam Nation with Jonesy.

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:08,479
Speaker 2: Mark lazot Aka. Diesel has been part of our lives

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 2: for one hundred million years and that's factual. He's had

Speaker 2: other thirty five singles, He's had awards a plenty, record

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,160

6
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,959
Speaker 2: the road performing, he's on our TV screens. If I

7
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 2: was unkind, i'd say he's a giant hog. But I

8
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 2: like him, so I'm going to let him get away

9
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 2: with it. Diesel, Hello, thank you, Hello, how are you

10
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 2: very well?

11
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: Well?

12
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,319
Speaker 3: You know, and we haven't seen you since we did

13
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 3: a backyard jam with you in the in the Inner

14
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,279
Speaker 3: West and then that damn good one.

15
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: It was. That was a great little gig.

16
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 3: That was a great gig. And for those who don't know,

17
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 3: we get like a famous artist and they perform in

18
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 3: someone's backyard and you were one of those artists. But

19
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 3: that was and then the pandemic came along. Everything okay, just.

20
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: Before that, yeah, well you know we've started his TV

21
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: show just before that that scene, and then we were

22
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: able to kind of stop and start and sort of yeah,

23
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: we just pushed our way through it. We made it

24
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: to Melbourne. In fact, like to interview a PiZZ of

25
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: people that we needed to do down there, and then

26
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: the door shut behind us. It was like, wow, that

27
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: was close. Yeah, it was pretty pretty hairy, But we've Yeah,

28
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: I think the whole series would have been done obviously

29
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: a lot quicker, but we're there and when it's coming out,

30
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: you know, this week, so I'm really happy.

31
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 2: Well tell us about the series. It's called Days like

32
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 2: These with Diesel and you're looking at some of the

33
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 2: most extraordinary concerts of our time.

34
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: I think it's safe to say that this country, you know,

35
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: per capita or whatever, just the amount of population we

36
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: have on this on this beautiful land, we've produced like

37
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: an insane amount of music. So it's just great to

38
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: kind of take these concerts and bring them into the

39
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: light and not just show the concert, go back and

40
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: capture some of what was happening in the artist's lives.

41
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: So it's very insightful.

42
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 3: And it just happens. The first episode, you've got Jet

43
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 3: talking about their performance at the Forum back in two

44
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 3: thousand and four. Was that a good performance or a

45
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 3: bad performance for them?

46
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 1: I think they you know, there were so many things

47
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: stacked against them, you know, the knives were out In

48
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: some cases, you know that people were just wanting like who,

49
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: you know, these kids are back in town and they

50
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: wanted to rip them down. They were going through an incredible,

51
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: tumultuous personal time with their father. It was. It was

52
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: a real challenging gig. But they went got up there

53
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: and yeah, I mean it sounds like a cliche, but

54
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: they just you know, tore it and they tore it

55
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: to shreds. It was. You know, it's a blistering gig,

56
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: it really is.

57
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 3: And what about a Johnny Diesel and the injector's gig?

58
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: Well, I think the one that the MTV did out

59
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: from the Selena's Live. It from Selena's for MTV. Richard

60
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: Wilkins was there on stage and we went on at

61
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: some ungodly hour. But you know, we I remember it

62
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: being a good gig in the crowd. I mean we

63
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: had the record for the most illegal amount of people

64
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: that you could shove into Selenas at that point.

65
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 2: The smell would have been quite extraordinary.

66
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: People more than you were supposed to put in there,

67
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: you know, like something that never happened again thankfully.

68
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, before you could say fire hazard, Yeah, and.

69
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 2: Look at the stains on that carpet.

70
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 3: Oh my god, what about Like I said, there's the best?

71
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 3: What about the worst? What's the worst gig ever?

72
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: Oh god, you really want to know that?

73
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 3: Come on, Yeah, there's got to be one.

74
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: Oh. For me, it was Hamburg. It was a sold

75
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: out show that we were supposed to be there like

76
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 1: four hours before, but we missed the ferry. Like it

77
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: was one of those literally you drive up to the

78
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: where you get kind of catch the ferry from I

79
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: think it was some other Nordic country that we needed

80
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: to get to Germany, and we could see the ferry

81
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: was like so close we could almost like if we

82
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: drove fast enough, like, but it was like, no, we

83
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: did missed that ferry, and we crunched all the numbers

84
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: and driving and everything. He's like, no, we just have

85
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: to sit here and wait for the next one. So

86
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: we got there at about a lot even at night,

87
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: and we thought that's it, you know, we're not doing

88
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: the show. It's all over. And so I put myself

89
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: to bed. I'd actually taken taken a sleeping pill because

90
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: I was just so wrapped. And yeah, I was woken

91
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: by the tournament and just shaking my shoulders going the

92
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: promoter wants you to do the show's there's still like

93
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: twenty angry people. Well we didn't say it like that.

94
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: It was like still a crowd there, but when we

95
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: got there, there was like twenty angry German men were

96
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: just men at this point, like banking their they're big

97
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: you know whatever they call those glasses with their handles onsides. Yeah,

98
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: and like I did, you know, gone to an angry mob? Great?

99
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 1: And yeah, I think I had nothing to eat that

100
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: day and then I had, you know, like a swig

101
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: of a vodka and I just kind of like melted

102
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: on stage. You know, the combination of the sleeping piol

103
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: and the one wig of vodka or whatever and no food.

104
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: It's just just all went like like sinewy and rubbery.

105
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: And that was it, you know, like I was out

106
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 1: of you.

107
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 2: Paint quite a picture.

108
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 3: I would have loved. That would have been a show

109
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 3: because the Germans, they've got such a great sense of

110
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 3: humor with stuff like that.

111
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: I mean, what they said in the newspapers the next

112
