Speaker 3: This gig here is as they said, it's Metropolis sur Frio.

21
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 3: But I did see you a few years ago at

22
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 3: Metro City and I don't know if we've had this chat,

23
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 3: but it was a night when there was the power

24
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 3: went out and your amps went down just near the

25
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 3: end of the and I remember seeing I remember seeing

26
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 3: a bass guitar go flying through the air at one

27
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 3: stage and then great with You.

28
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that was that some time ago.

29
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 3: I was about ten, twelve years ago, something like that.

30
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I do remember that happening. Yeah, probably a

31
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 2: little probably a little frustrated.

32
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was right at finale too. You're doing that song, so.

33
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not great when

34
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 2: you when your power goes down or something goes wrong

35
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 2: right at the end. But you know, a bit of

36
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,839
Speaker 2: a few more years under my belt, I'm probably handed

37
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 2: a little bit. Yeah.

38
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: It would leave you sort of like, you know, launching

39
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: there feeling like I've got to get this out and

40
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:35,199
Speaker 1: now I can't.

41
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 2: You really just want to be great. Every night goes wrong.

42
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 2: It really does upstate you, you know. And it's not because

43
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 2: you're being precious. It's because you're up there to do,

44
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: like your people have paid to see you play, so

45
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: you want to give them the best show that they

46
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 2: You know, we're very much into that and giving people

47
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 2: good sets and songs. We know that they want to hear,

48
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 2: and you know, because we're absomally, you're there to entertain

49
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 2: I forget that sometimes.

50
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 3: And also you don't want your beloved instrument broken. And

51
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 3: it's not like Paul Stanley from Kiss Grabbing your cheek

52
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 3: one to do the smashing on the stage.

53
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 2: No, no, no no, it's a part of it all,

54
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 2: a lovely of them, of the base. They're pretty hard

55
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 2: to break, I must.

56
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's just remind ourselves of what a game change

57
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: you get born the album was. It was an international

58
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 1: success as well as here you won six six Arias

59
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: for it. It went platinum nine times. It remains one

60
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: of the top I Beg Your Pardon ten now it

61
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: remains one of the top five highest selling Australian rock

62
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: albums of all time. Did you you know when you

63
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: are making it? Did anyone ever dare go? You know what?

64
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: This this is going to be bigger than Bead Hurt?

65
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 2: You know what? It's so hard to know when you're

66
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 2: in the middle of it, especially when it's the first record.

67
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 2: You have no idea. There's so many things that can

68
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 2: go wrong, so many things that can go right, and

69
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 2: often some of the stuff's just not up to you. You

70
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: don't know, Like you can say this is a great song,

71
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 2: but until it connects with people you've never have never seen,

72
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 2: you never heard, you like, you don't know. Until then,

73
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 2: obviously we speculated that it was all good. But at

74
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 2: the end of the day, a lot of great records

75
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 2: have gone unheard. You know, if I could have come

76
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 2: to believe this, you know, you need to have, you know,

77
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 2: a lot of skill and a lot of you know, talent,

78
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 2: but also you need a lot of luck on your side.

79
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 2: You need to be making the right music at the

80
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: right time time, and we were just happen to be.

81
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 3: I think, you know, maybe we've just had Awards season

82
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 3: in Hollywood and before that the Grammys, and every time

83
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 3: I watched the Awards, I go tesays, trophies are beautiful.

84
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 3: Have you got one of the Arias?

85
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 2: And yeah, we've got them all. We all get well,

86
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 2: we just got to inducted into the Hall of Fame,

87
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,839
Speaker 2: so it's a gold one now beautiful. Yeah, so yeah,

88
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 2: everyone gets their own. We've got MTV Music Award. You know,

89
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 2: that's pretty good. They're all in my studio. And look, honestly,

90
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 2: I don't have a lot of the platinum records up

91
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 2: on the walls, but I've got some of my favorite

92
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 2: ones up You know in my studio and stuff not

93
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 2: in the house enough. I must have met. Most of

94
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 2: my platinum records are up in the roof space. Really,

95
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 2: I don't know what to do with them. Yeah, I

96
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 2: don't know where to put them.

97
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 3: I should do a Michael Jordan trophy, room mate, a

98
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 3: million trophy.

99
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I might need some of Michael Jordan's cash to.

100
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: Build a Apologies and advance. If you've been asked this,

101
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: you know a kajillion times, but I have to it

102
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: gets me every time. The cough at the beginning of

103
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: are you going to be My Girl? The little little

104
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: you know.

105
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 2: Throat clean? Tell me what did you know? Do you

106
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 2: think let's leave it?

107
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: That's going to be a talking point.

108
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 2: When we made that record. If you listen to what

109
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: was sort of what was big on the radio at

110
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 2: the times, really commercial rock, and it was very clean,

111
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 2: polished production, and we just didn't kind of care. If

112
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: you listen to Get Born with the headphones on, you

113
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 2: can hear us chatting in the background, and we left

114
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 2: all that in, and look, we could have edited it

115
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 2: all out, but we liked it. And a lot of

116
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 2: our favorite records you've listened to, Led Zeppelin records of

117
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 2: Beatles records. You hear a lot of artifacts in there

118
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: that make it cooler, like little Easter eggs fans, and

119
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 2: like I said, we could have cut it out. I

120
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 2: don't think we ever thought, oh, this will be cool

121
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 2: to leave it in. I just thought we were like, no,

122
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 2: leave it in. Who cares? You know, like, just leave

123
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 2: it in. It happened.

124
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 3: Everything has to be like Mutt Lang producing Deaf Leppards

125
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 3: Hysteria exactly. Yeah, yeah, I hope we produced and then

126
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 3: and Sugary Smooth. But you playing the Formula one Grand Prix.

127
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 3: Are you an F one man? You guys into it?

128
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean, look, I'm into it in a sense

129
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 2: that it's I'm not I wouldn't say I watch every race,

130
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 2: but yeah, something it's the only really motor sport that

131
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 2: I have watched over the years. And it's also you

132
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 2: know the places they race, like you know, Monaco and

133
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 2: in the tracks, and you know that kind of euro

134
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 2: glamour vibe is pretty cool, you know, private yachts and

135
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 2: roll ex As a kid growing up in the suburbs

136
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 2: and you're watching like you know, and Center and whatnot,

137
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 2: like it's pretty cool.

138
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 3: It's a beautiful Wooden Dead.

139
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 2: Beautiful work.

140
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, we we take our mixing of sport

141
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: and rock so seriously in this country, it must be

142
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: quite complimentary.

143
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 2: Yea. And gather round? Yeah, I know, I was over to.

144
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 2: I think there's another one about to be announced. I

145
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 2: probably can't let that one out yet, but yeah, it's

146
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 2: kicking off all of the all the major sporting events

147
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 2: in one week. Good. I'm a big Footy fan, so

148
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 2: I'm pumped about gather around, although I don't get to

149
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 2: see my team play because we're basically coming in the

150
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 2: day of the show and then flying the next day.

151
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: So I'm assuming your team as a Melbourne team.

152
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 2: No, I'm Geelong.

153
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, long boy Mark. In twenty fourteen and then seventeen,

154
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 3: I saw Springsteen when he finally came to Australia and

155
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 3: did that Big two. He finally came to Perth and

156
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 3: he did the Saints just like Firewood at one gig

157
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,640

159
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,200

Speaker 3: and did a cover of Are You Going to Be

161
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 3: My Girl? Because it sounds like a Springsteen kind of lyric,

Speaker 3: doesn't it.

163
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,839

164
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,479

Speaker 2: so good to you know, obviously doing the supports fantastic,

166

176
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 2: guitar tech and he had like fifty guitars, so many

177
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 2: He's like, because he's got so many different tunings, and

178
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 2: if he calls out a song that they don't know

179
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 2: because it just call a song out that they hadn't

180
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 2: played in fifteen years, and he'll have to find that

181
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 2: guitar that's in that tuning and get it out to it.

182
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:27,520

Speaker 1: You don't want to disappoint.

186
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,760

187
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 2: so you got to ask us to play with him,

188
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 2: we were just like, well, you can't send it the Boss,

00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 2: can you? No?

190
