00:00:05
[music] [music] [music] All right. Welcome to the phone zone. Welcome in. Welcome in.
00:00:30
It's one of my favorite Crankers. It's the phones. Crank Anchors is back. Yeah, but is it is it uh Jimmy and Adam
00:00:44
doing it? >> Um I I'm I don't know. I I haven't watched it since it's been back. And I
00:00:50
heard an interview with Corolla, but I was Maybe it wasn't with Corolla. Maybe it was I I'm getting the two mixed up
00:00:58
now cuz I've heard interviews with both of them since I heard that it was coming
00:01:01
back and I can't remember if both of them were talking about it separately. I was a little confused if that they're
00:01:07
just producing it or if they're involved or writing or what exactly they will be
00:01:14
doing. Yeah. Well, either way, good luck to them. It was a funny show and I think
00:01:20
it I actually think in today's age with YouTube if like late night shows I don't
00:01:27
watch them that often anymore or even like Saturday Night Live if you don't catch it you don't have to go back and
00:01:32
watch it like you hit up YouTube and they'll have all like the highlights. So I think a show like that will be
00:01:40
you know could be pretty popular uh on the YouTube platform like just the clip parts of it. But um yeah, so last case
00:01:50
we're talking about the big four. For anybody that doesn't know who the big four are, that's they they claim
00:01:57
that there's a big four as far as the metal bands are concerned. And they went on tour like years ago, but it was
00:02:06
Metallica, Mega Death, Anththerax, and Slayer. >> Those were the big four, >> right? And I think we're saying because
00:02:17
Slayer was sued in the last case and but we were saying that yeah they were sued
00:02:22
by the parents of the victim and really I mean I get it. I get why they sued them but it's doesn't Slayer didn't do
00:02:31
anything bad. I mean they're just putting out their music that um I mean some people like it. Uh [laughter] yeah
00:02:38
it's it's not really my thing. They're actually on tour right now like their farewell tour. They're they will be
00:02:45
done, I guess, after this one. Or >> maybe like other bands who do a farewell well tour and then a couple years later
00:02:53
they need some cash. >> Yeah. >> And so they're like, "Oh, we're the band's back together."
00:02:59
>> The big four. >> Yeah. >> So, the reason why we're talking this today in the garage is the big four. I
00:03:06
suggested that Slayer only made it. They were only listed as the big four or part of the big four because Panta who
00:03:17
who really truly at the heart and soul of it is Dime Bag Daryl and Vinnie Paul and because of that horrible
00:03:27
>> uh shootout in I shouldn't say shootout I mean the guy who just went into the
00:03:31
place and shot up everybody >> in Columbus, Ohio. Panta doesn't exist anymore and so they weren't around
00:03:38
really for this big four and so I was saying like yeah Slayer is a good band and and they and I do consider them I
00:03:47
mean they're well known in that death metal genre >> right >> very well known and so I guess they
00:03:55
would be considered that but I'm saying only because Panta is not around to be in the big four I would also argue too
00:04:02
that Um, Iron Maiden is a little too big, I think, to be tagging along in a in a
00:04:11
in a four band tour. And I I also think that Slayer made the cut because Iron Maiden either wasn't asked or did not
00:04:20
did not want to be a part of it. >> Right. I' I'd actually question if Panta would would have done that if
00:04:30
they were asked to be a part of the big four. Yeah, I don't I don't know. I mean
00:04:36
uh the singer Phil and uh Vinnie Paul and Dimeag from my understanding my limited I want to be clear I have very
00:04:45
limited knowledge of this so I don't know if this is true or not but I thought that they were they didn't like
00:04:53
each other anymore that they were on the outs and >> well no I meant even if they were good
00:04:57
even if the band was good to go I wonder I I've heard some rumblings in the past
00:05:03
where they they like Metallica that like the guys in Metallica I heard but I heard some rumors that there were
00:05:09
certain things that they would do uh to kind of show up um some of some of the bands that they
00:05:18
thought went a little more mainstream. >> Yeah. And the other thing you wonder too
00:05:23
is like depending on what part of the country there they would be in I don't know how that big four tour would go but
00:05:29
would you have a different head I mean >> it would make sense to just have Metallica headline every show I think
00:05:36
because they would be the biggest band of the four >> right >> but in certain areas of the country do
00:05:42
you have somebody else step in and headline or do you just adjust the the three opening acts before Metallica
00:05:49
let's say because like in Texas. Panta is a huge draw. They're from Texas and and you know, Dimeag Daryl, I really
00:06:01
think of him as like the Stevie Rayvon of Death Battle. That's I mean, his guitar playing is so phenomenal.
00:06:08
>> Or like Daddy Van Halen. >> Yeah, but I I because they're because they're both Texas, that's the route I
00:06:14
want to go. So I >> I'm going more Van Halen, but >> Panta would be a huge draw in the state
00:06:20
of Texas and then Anthrax is New York. >> Yeah. >> So you wonder would they be would they
00:06:29
draw, you know what I mean? Like when we used to play in our band, we a lot of times,
00:06:36
now this was a million years ago, but back then it was whoever was considered to be the largest draw of that night in
00:06:43
that area would usually take the headlining spot. >> Right. So, I can't remember if Anthrax is is
00:06:51
New York New York or if they're Long Island or a mixture of both, but I would I would suggest that even as big as
00:06:58
Metallica is, there there would be a couple towns that Anthrax might be the the number one draw in that area.
00:07:04
>> Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, we got started talking about Dime Bag and uh Panta and then we
00:07:14
we we go on these back in the early dayses of the the garage when we weren't recording,
00:07:22
we'd have a lot of these times where we'd talk about a case or talk about music, which would then
00:07:28
lead to us talking about a case. And this was definitely a situation where we're talking about a case that led us
00:07:33
to talk about Panta. And it's like, well, what are the top five Panta songs? >> Yeah, we got a lot of high praise for
00:07:42
bringing up Panta and and [laughter] even praise for saying that we thought they were better than Slayer.
00:07:48
>> Yeah, I think one because the place that we played at a lot. Um, we had headlined
00:07:56
there. We sold out the Alro Seilla to have that tragedy tragedy happen with Dime Bag at that place. Uh I think that
00:08:07
has made a deeper connection between me and Panta, me and Dime Bag. And and what was
00:08:15
interesting too was I was teaching guitar lessons at the time of all that >> and Dimeag was always with a company
00:08:22
called uh Washburn. And one of my first electric guitars was kind of a Dime Bag Daryl ripoff type guitar. And it was,
00:08:31
you know, a guitar player that used to be in our band and he quit playing and it was a really cool guitar, but it was
00:08:37
definitely like a metal, you know, guitar, but it was my first guitar. And and then the Dimeag Daryl's guitar is
00:08:47
very It almost looks like a star, like a broken star in a way, >> right? and he just switched to Dean and
00:08:56
we were a exclusive Dean dealer in the area. So they were coming out with I think they came out with five six
00:09:04
different models of these Dean guitars and there were they weren't super expensive. The the Washburn some of the
00:09:11
Washburn guitars his most famous guitar it has like lightning bolts and stuff on
00:09:15
it. Those at some point were going for like well over a thousand bucks. These were a few hundred dollar. And so I had
00:09:24
tons of students buying these things up and one of the coolest guitars that I've
00:09:29
ever seen. And I'm I'm I'm taking a picture and I'm going to drag it over to your Let's see where
00:09:40
going to drag this picture over to your phone so you can see it. But it's one of my favorite guitars
00:09:47
ever. It's called the Doflage, >> right? And it's like um it's the black and white and gray camouflage,
00:09:55
but it has different poses of Dime Bag Daryl in the paintwork. It's one of the coolest guitars.
00:10:04
Did it pop up yet? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. It's just one of my favorite. If you ever get
00:10:09
>> It's a great looking guitar. And then but he was more famous for the for the flying V style, right? No, no, that's
00:10:16
the same. That's the same. >> This is the same style, but he does like the V the guitar head.
00:10:22
>> Yeah, he has like the flying V head, but also I mean, if you look at his guitar,
00:10:25
it's pretty much a flying V with a spike coming out one. >> The stain was the was the flying V,
00:10:31
right? >> The stain did a lot of Well, his was the not so much a flying V. It was a
00:10:37
lopsided flying V. So, one side would be longer than the others. But yeah, >> and Dime Bag Daryl's has the Vshape at
00:10:45
the bottom, but it also it's like a it's like a broken star, right? >> Yeah, it's uh
00:10:51
>> I don't There's probably a name for this somewhere, but I don't know what it is.
00:10:54
>> If If you get a Yeah, if you get a chance, look up some of the creations because when when Dean came out, they
00:11:01
came out the first one we got was like the replica where was the lightning bolts and I was like, "Oh, that's so
00:11:08
cool." And you can get for a couple hundred bucks. And then we got it was called uh like the uh dime bag slime. It
00:11:16
was like a lime green. It was awesome. >> Yeah. >> And then they came out with the do flame
00:11:21
which was just like a you know fire. And then then the last one we got was the douaflage and it was just like oh that's
00:11:29
so awesome looking. But yeah, and in that and then teaching, you know, I taught so much. People would always ask
00:11:37
me, uh, so what do you do for a living? And my joke was, well, I teach Metallica
00:11:42
and Green Day. Like that was my joke for a many years. Not a funny joke, but it was a joke nonetheless. And then it
00:11:50
became, oh, I teach Metallica, Green Day, and and Taylor Swift. Uh, but one of the bands that people always ask. So
00:11:58
you're teaching what the students are seem to be asking for. Is that what you're saying?
00:12:03
>> Yeah. It was just kind of a thing like >> it was like you're mo more requested
00:12:07
than others. >> Well, you know how like people will say like what do you do for a living? Like
00:12:12
in and if you say teach guitar, there's normally a follow-up question, you know,
00:12:18
but if you start off with going, well, I teach guitar. I basically teach Metallica Green Day because that's what
00:12:25
the kids want to learn. So that's what you teach them. But uh I think because of the tra tragedy I
00:12:32
can't say that word today uh in Columbus that made I think the connection for Columbus to Panta a lot
00:12:39
more connected and so then I had a lot more students going hey can we learn some Panta riffs?
00:12:46
>> Yeah. >> And um so yeah let's start it off. Uh you want to start off with your
00:12:51
>> So we're doing we're each going to list our top five Panta songs. So, this is
00:12:56
like the best of Panta according to the Garage idiots. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Uh, so number five for me and
00:13:04
>> hold on. This is the definitive list in the universe. >> That's right. There is no arguing.
00:13:09
>> Yes. >> So, so we've not seen each other. So, we may have some of the same five.
00:13:15
>> Yeah. They're probably just in a different order. and and and very fittingly, my first one, my number five
00:13:22
will be Five Minutes Alone off of the uh Far Beyond Driven 1994 album. Bounce with me. Bounce with me. That
00:13:36
That's the thing that they always had that they had a groove to them. Yeah, they had that southern almost a swing
00:13:42
type groove to their metal where like Metallica like early Metallica was real straight.
00:13:50
>> Yeah. >> You know, and they had more of a and and that might come from, you know,
00:13:56
them being from Texas and that like shuffle field, that blues shuffle feel. Well, and like this song in particular,
00:14:02
you can hear like like Dime Bag puts like a real good crunch on the guitar and then you got
00:14:10
Phil's vocals that kind of crunch along with it. Like they're they're one of those bands, especially off of the Far
00:14:17
Beyond Driven album where they like it's almost like you envision like this machine working, you know? It just kind
00:14:24
like like gears cranking around and and all of that. Like that's what that sound
00:14:29
like makes me think of. >> Yeah. So that's uh what 5 minutes alone. >> Five minutes alone.
00:14:35
>> I will go with that one for number five. I I'll >> I mean the five the number five is in
00:14:41
the number or in the name. So >> it's kind of like no duh. >> Right. >> Right. >> Right.
00:14:47
>> Yeah. I'll go with that one. Far Beyond Driven. I always love the if you look up
00:14:51
like um any documentary on Panta, it's like they knew that their next record was going to be huge and then they came
00:14:58
out with Far Beyond Driven which was heavier [laughter] like >> Yeah, cuz they had a lot of success with
00:15:06
u Vulgar Display of Power. >> But normally when they normally when a band knows look there's a lot of
00:15:12
spotlight on us here's our chance. you might capitalize with something a little more mainstream and they're like, "Yeah,
00:15:21
not doing that. We're gonna rock it a little harder." >> Yeah. And the the album cover was very
00:15:27
cool for um Far Beyond Driven as well because it it looks like a like a photograph negative, but it's turquoise,
00:15:37
like turquoise in color, like a bright blueish. >> Yeah. And it's it's the skull with the
00:15:42
the drill bit going into the forehead. >> Yeah, >> it's it's it's kind of cool. Um, so my
00:15:50
number four would be and I'll tell you what, I had I had a tough time with the order of these. Like it wasn't
00:15:59
>> they could all be number one. Really? >> Yeah. It wasn't tough for me to to decide what my five favorites are, but
00:16:06
uh I was jokingly going to say that it was like a psycho holiday trying to put these in some kind of order. So, for
00:16:13
number four for me, I'm going to go with uh this is this love, which doesn't So, for the
00:16:26
people out there that only know a few Panta songs, they're probably like, "This doesn't sound Panta so much."
00:16:34
But it starts off soft and then at some point it's back to that machine death metal.
00:16:44
Now, I have a I have a sad story about this song. And whether you want to hear it or not,
00:16:50
Captain, you're going to listen to it now. Uh, I saw Panta >> I saw Panta live probably
00:16:59
1996, I'm guessing. >> I don't know if we're allowed to play the music. >> Oh, yeah. We're allowed to play.
00:17:09
Here we go. That's a cool riff. That intro riff is really [music] cool. >> Well, and that's the thing like Dime Bag
00:17:16
really was extremely talented. Like he could he wasn't one of these like death metal guitar players that could only
00:17:24
play metal, you know? I mean, I think this dude could have done he could have played any genre. He could whatever he
00:17:30
wanted. >> We're going to we're going to let it get heavy and then I'll tell you my story.
00:17:41
Oh, that's that good wholesome Panta sound that you love. >> Yeah. But that that sound actually
00:17:46
reminds me a little of Anthorax. >> Yeah. >> Take this love. >> Yeah. So I'll that song for me at one
00:17:55
time was probably my favorite Panta song if not obviously one of my favorite Panta songs but it has a bit of a uh a a
00:18:05
bad memory and a stain on it because when I saw Panta in like 96 it's this is the only time that I've ever seen them
00:18:13
live and there they were playing with other bands but I remember they were the band I was looking forward to the most
00:18:20
that day. Right. So they came out and they were more than halfway through their set. They were playing a great set
00:18:27
because of with how clean and and crunchy and everything their their sound is. I wondered if they could sound that
00:18:33
clean live >> and >> and they did. Um and Phil the singer who he had his own demons, you know, battles
00:18:41
with heroin and that's that's a good reason why that they they weren't together forever, let's say. But uh he
00:18:50
was drinking, I believe it was Jack Daniels, and drinking straight from the bottle, you know, Michael Anthony style.
00:18:57
>> Yeah. >> And there was part of me that wondered if it was just a prop, you know, if it
00:19:02
was maybe diluted alcohol or if it was just something cool to do on stage. That was my assumption at the beginning of
00:19:11
the set because I'm like this dude's not going to if he's drinking it like that he will not be able to finish the set
00:19:20
and more a little more than halfway through I figured out that it was not a prop because he was very obviously
00:19:27
extremely drunk at some point and he was kind of like they started playing this song this love
00:19:34
>> and he love >> yeah he starts like he started like teasing the crowd, like poking fun at
00:19:40
the crowd because the crowd like went crazy when they started that riff. You know, everybody in the crowd likes that
00:19:46
song. And he starts like mocking the crowd because he's shitfaced hammered. I don't know if he knew what planet he was
00:19:54
on. >> Yeah. >> He's killed more than than twothirds of a big bottle of Jack Daniels in in the
00:20:02
last 40 minutes. >> Yeah. >> And it really it did kind of upset me. I'm not going to lie cuz he
00:20:08
>> killed twothirds of his liver as well. >> You pay a lot of tickets to go to the
00:20:11
show and then the singer makes fun of you because you like their song cuz it's popular on MTV and I think
00:20:17
>> [ __ ] him. >> Right. Right. It really pissed me off but it and and I'm sure it probably
00:20:21
pissed off the dudes the other dudes in Panta like how can you how can you tease somebody
00:20:27
for liking something you've created? >> Like mock them. That's that's weird. >> I'm going to tell a little story. when
00:20:34
we're we're going on a cruise ship. Me and you were going on a cruise ship and I won't say the band's name because I
00:20:40
don't want to but I was thinking about this the other day. I was driving down the road and there's
00:20:47
like I don't I don't ever think like let's rewind time and start again at 10, right? But I would love to like wake up
00:20:56
one day and Newman is there, right? and he's like, "I'm your guardian angel and I can take you back in time and you can
00:21:06
redo a couple things." Right? There's probably at least five moments that I like to go
00:21:15
back and change my actions. And one of them was we were hanging out with a band, which was not popular,
00:21:24
wasn't known to many people. Right. >> Right. We're going on a big cruise ship with big bands like 311
00:21:33
and this band is maybe in the top five of the crews. Would you say if you're talking about who I think
00:21:41
you're talking about? Um they they were close to, you know, in most situations they seem
00:21:51
to be going on right before the headliner or or two bands before the headliner. And that's kind of how you
00:21:57
rank everybody, I guess. So, they were one of the bigger bands on the on the ship. Yeah.
00:22:04
>> Right. And but they, you know, we were drinking and you were you could tell that you were, you know, feeling good,
00:22:12
which is not a bad thing, but they started giving you some [ __ ] because >> because I was a fan.
00:22:17
>> Because you were a fan. [laughter] And it's like, but it was funny because one, you know, you're a little more
00:22:23
confrontational than me, but you said very politely like, well, look, it's because of me that you guys have
00:22:30
anything. Like, so I don't know why you're like dogging me about this. But if I could rewind time, I would have
00:22:36
just punched the guy in the [ __ ] face and said, "Uh, wait, are you making fun of your fans?" Yes, we are. Punch and
00:22:44
just move on with my life. I might have been giving them too much credit because
00:22:48
I think I think the the comment that that was offputting to them, which I I wasn't trying to be off-putting or
00:22:57
anything, but I think they thought I was like a crazy fan when I was like, you guys opening up for 311 is like Pink
00:23:03
Floyd opening up for Phil Collins. It doesn't make any, you know what I Like cuz to me I had their all of their
00:23:09
albums this band and uh you know how like when you when you really fall for uh when you really start digging a
00:23:20
certain band and maybe you've come on and they've already put out multiple albums before you kind of find them on
00:23:26
your own, >> right? >> And you're like I I freaking love this band and you want to devour everything
00:23:32
that they put out. So, I was in that's why I was in that mode where I'm like I had bought three or four of their albums
00:23:40
within the last six months and was listening to all of it and then we went on that cruise. The cruise was fun
00:23:46
though. >> Well, and one time that I don't want to replay is uh I was on a cruise and so
00:23:53
I'd play late night on the cruise as just a cover band. But if you're on the cruise, like a lot of the people going
00:24:03
on the cruise, they they didn't just look at you as a cover band. They would want an autograph or a picture or
00:24:08
whatever. So, I'm sitting at the bar and I'm taking some pictures with a girl. And
00:24:14
this guy, I hear him saying to his friend, "Who the hell is that?" Basically, you know, and like kind of
00:24:21
dogging me. and I'm drunk and I noticed that it's the drummer for Life House and
00:24:28
never been a big Life House fan, but they were amazing live and his drumming was
00:24:37
made the show I think like the energy and they just had it was like way more rock and roll than what what you hear
00:24:43
like on their records, >> right? >> And I remember the whole crews going I want to go up to him and say, "Man,
00:24:49
you're a really good drummer. I really enjoyed watching you play, but I was drunk and I remember telling myself,
00:24:56
"Don't tell him that you're not a Life House fan." Like, that's rude. Just say he's a good drummer, you know? And then
00:25:04
so the guy kind of I hear him talking a little [ __ ] to me. And so then I go up
00:25:08
to him and the first thing I say is, "Never really cared too much for Life House,
00:25:13
>> right? Here's a backhanded compliment, >> but you're amazing drummer." And then
00:25:16
the guy's like, "What the hell?" And then uh I think I told his I don't know if it was his manager or his buddy. I
00:25:23
think I looked at the manager and buddy because I was so wasted. I was like, "Hey, if he wants if he wants to go
00:25:29
right now, we can tango." And and the guy just looked at me like I was nuts and then walked away. And then
00:25:36
every time I saw him for the rest of the cruise, he gave me the dirty eye. But uh
00:25:40
>> the old stinky. >> The old stink eye. Hey, but I can't help it that you put out some [ __ ] singles,
00:25:45
buddy. Get it together. Get it together. All right. Where are we at on the list?
00:25:52
Number four, you say uh this love. >> My number four is Walk. >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah. That's And that's one of their
00:26:02
most popular songs. But yeah, bounce with me because this is my number three. But here's what I love about this is a
00:26:16
lot of like get it pant songs like now like when you're making a record a lot of people want because there's a lot of
00:26:23
synthesis used they'll make sure that your your tuning of your guitar is 100% correct. Right.
00:26:32
>> Right. >> A lot of Panta songs you actually have to tune your guitar to the record or
00:26:38
you're wrong. Sometimes they're like um when you tune a guitar it's all in cents. So sometimes uh dime bag would be
00:26:47
like 10 cents off of where you should be. >> Yeah. >> And so if you really want to play a lot
00:26:55
of parent songs correctly, you have to tune to the record. And uh and and Walk was one of the first songs I was like,
00:27:03
"Oh [ __ ] my my guitar doesn't sound correct." So then you have to adjust to them. But yeah, that was a a popular
00:27:11
riff in the lesson world. >> All right, so your number three is >> is walk. >> Is walk.
00:27:17
>> And me just me playing that little bit of walk right there. >> Somewhere we made someone's workout a
00:27:26
little more intense. >> They ran a little faster >> just for like 30 seconds. They were able
00:27:30
to lift 360 lbs. >> What's the line where he says, "Yeah, walk on home, boy." >> Yeah. Yeah. The end. Yeah.
00:27:39
>> Welcome on home, boy. >> Yeah. >> Or is that is that at the end or is that right before the guitar solo? Might be
00:27:44
right before the solo. >> You might say it twice. I'm not for sure. >> Are you talking to me? Are you talking
00:27:51
to me? >> Are you Just for clarification purposes. Are you talking to me? Are you talking
00:27:56
to me? >> All right. So, number three, you have walk. I have I'm broken. Oh yeah. Back to the uh So, Walk is off
00:28:07
of Vulgar Display of Power. >> Yeah. >> Which came out in 1992. And then Broken is uh the fourth song on
00:28:17
the 94 album Far Beyond Driven. >> Yeah, Unbroken. That just um it's a great um it has a bounce to it. Uh it's a great
00:28:30
workout song. It's a great running song. Uh >> yeah. >> Um number two for me will be
00:28:51
this was the song that got me listening to Panta Cemetery Gates. Yeah, I think this was
00:28:58
it's very accessible as far as like pop music. >> Well, and it was actually released
00:29:05
twice. So, it was released when uh Cowboys from Hell came out in 1990. It was released
00:29:14
as a single then, but then years later it was released as a single on a soundtrack.
00:29:20
>> Yeah. >> So, it's one of those songs that makes a makes a comeback, you know, does another
00:29:25
another time around. It actually shows that Phil was actually [music] really talented as a singer.
00:29:36
>> Yeah. >> Cuz not only could he scream and yell and [music] deliver things with a
00:29:41
bounce, but he uh he could actually carry a tune. Well, and the cool thing too was like if you go to the Cowboys
00:29:50
from Hell album 1990, it makes sense that it's 1990 because it has like a late8s
00:29:58
heavy metal feel to it. >> Yeah. Like the >> his vocals. Yeah. His vocals are >> I think quite different in Cowboys from
00:30:06
Hell than what they are in Far Beyond Driven. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And that's very that
00:30:12
harmonized guitar. Very 80s. Yeah, that's [music] this might be my number two pantara
00:30:29
song, but that's one of my favorite guitar riffs to me. That's very multil. This is a good one.
00:30:40
>> Get it. [laughter] that is not on my list. >> And and [clears throat] I'll tell you
00:30:47
why. Because that intro part is like this picking part, >> right? >> It's I like to play I can do like finger
00:30:57
style guitar and that's what I like doing. But that is like but I never like dimeag picks that intro right and
00:31:09
>> it sounds like it. Yeah. And it's very like you know like you said '8s also it's very you know Metallica you know
00:31:15
intro type but it's picking you know with the pick and now if I play that song I can play
00:31:23
it pretty easy if I just use my fingers but that's not how he's playing it. So I
00:31:27
always thought it was important as a guitar instructor to go well this is how he played it
00:31:33
>> right. So, we're going to learn it the way he played it because that's how the
00:31:40
amalgamation of all the the the guitar players that we study is going to what is is what going to influence us. So,
00:31:50
instead of you can't just tell a student, well, we're not gonna pick that with our pick because uh I don't like to
00:31:57
do that. So I always people that was probably the most requested song uh to learn by Pantara and was my least
00:32:08
favorite because I'm just not the picking with a pick. Um that style not my favorite.
00:32:15
So my number two is Cowboys from Hell. That is my number two. Well done, sir. >> Because this riff is gnarly [laughter]
00:32:32
and it's almost impossible to get it to sound like him. Yeah. It comes in sounding like a video
00:32:44
game kind of at the beginning. >> Yeah. This part you can get to sound like him.
00:32:48
>> Yeah. But you can hear you can hear Phil's the difference in his vocals especially well really it's
00:33:02
on this whole album but you can hear the more 80s style >> right there. Come on baby.
00:33:10
>> That's Van Halen, you know right there. >> Yeah. Uh that's my number one. Cowboys
00:33:20
from Hell. >> Oh good. I love that one. That one um, you know, it it's that song is just like
00:33:31
a really great driving song. You know, when you're in the car, that's a great one to just crank up, push the pedal
00:33:39
down as far as it will go, and just drive. >> That's funny because we didn't plan any
00:33:45
of this out. And the reason why my number one is my number one is it's one of my favorite driving songs of all
00:33:53
time. And that is Great Southern Tread and Kill. >> Oh, that's the only one that I don't
00:34:02
have on my phone to play for you. >> Oh, you don't? Hold on. Hold on. I think I Hold on. I have
00:34:07
>> So, I like the title song on there. Well, 50/50, but um yeah, so that album was when the band really started falling
00:34:17
apart, >> if I remember correctly. Yeah. I mean, it's just like, >> you know, >> this is one of their singles that really
00:34:50
didn't last. You know what I mean? Like, this was one that was played heavy on the radio when it was first released and
00:34:57
it's not, you don't like you hear Walk, >> you hear Walk on the radio, I would think, fairly often still today, right?
00:35:05
>> Yeah. Again, I think this is another situation where they had an opportunity,
00:35:11
a spotlight, and I think that there was like a chip on their shoulders where they're like, "Let's go even heavier."
00:35:19
You know what I mean? >> Yeah. instead of I think if they would have stayed uh within the uh you know vulgar and far
00:35:30
beyond driven I think if they would have stayed in that realm that this record would have been a bigger hit and I would
00:35:37
actually say that I'd say the majority of the people that bought this record bought it simply because of the back
00:35:45
catalog >> like oh has a new record I'm going to Not because you heard it was amazing.
00:35:52
>> You're a little starved for some new music too at some point, you know, once you once you've
00:35:58
>> outplayed overplayed the three albums you already have. You know, they were they were together for years before I
00:36:06
think they started in the early 80s and actually did four independent albums before they got signed.
00:36:14
And um so to me, yeah, Grace Southern Trend Kill is not I don't know that I would
00:36:21
say it's heavier. It's it's faster. It's kind of like speed metal. >> Yeah. >> And and
00:36:28
there's some good songs on that album, but for me, it kind of took away from what I liked about Panta was they had
00:36:37
the groove. They had some groove to them. >> Yeah. And this was more straight like
00:36:42
>> this was straight speed. Yeah. you know, but also with that kind of groove or
00:36:48
that kind of bounce, it's hard to not write stuff that doesn't sound similar. >> Yeah.
00:36:55
>> So, I don't know. Yeah. I wasn't a big fan of the record, but for some reason that
00:37:03
song, I just like to put it on when I'm driving. It is a good driving song, >> especially when he goes, "Great southern
00:37:13
trend kill." That's right. >> That's right. [laughter] Something like that. >> That's right. You heard me. Well, I love
00:37:20
when it sounds like they're puking. Great southern tread. >> I'm singing through the puke.
00:37:28
So, yeah. Uh, no, but yeah. And yeah, I don't know. That was that's that's my top. So, okay.
00:37:39
Uh, I'll go >> for those of you scoring at home. >> Yeah. Uh, 5 minutes alone. >> Yep.
00:37:46
>> Number four was Walk. Number three, I'm Broken. Number two, Cowboys from Hell.
00:37:50
Number one, Great Southern Trend Kill. >> I two at the five spot did Five Minutes
00:37:55
Alone. At the four spot, what did I do? This love. >> This Love. >> Three spot. Walk two spot.
00:38:05
Cemetery Gates and number one in my heart, Cowboys from Hell. >> Yeah, but you're probably right about
00:38:12
the number one spot. >> I don't think there's a right. I don't think there's a right. It's just
00:38:15
whatever you like. >> Yeah. Yeah. I might not be right, but I I know I'm not wrong.
00:38:22
>> There you go. [music] [music]
