Welcome one and all to episode 412 of Signals from Mars. I'm your host, Victor, and we're back. After what, a month away? Not on purpose. We'll get to that in a second. There are a lot of repeating themes for this episode. Did I say that we had a good turnout of votes, that a lot of people
voted? joke and ikeed yes uh yeah because you will hear me say uh a lot of people voted over and over again uh anyway yeah it's cool turnout uh 1989 uh good year for music every year is a good year for music to be honest at least that's my opinion uh if you don't feel that way i feel sorry for you But anyway, yeah, so 80 albums were voted on. I do say during the episode 81, that is incorrect. Someone submitted Bad Brains as Brains Quickness or I wrote it down incorrectly.
So I had separated the votes as Bad Brains Quickness and Brains Quickness. And then after the show, when I was running down the list to the patrons, Off air, I realized my mistake. Now, it didn't really affect the outcome of what's discussed during the episode. It ends up moving from number 70 -something to number 50 -something with the combination of the votes for both albums. So, hey, I can admit when I make a mistake. I don't think I'll have an issue with my dessert being
withheld as a result of messing that up. I don't think anyone is going to be shaking their fists or pointing their fingers at me. And if so, I'm human, damn it. Anyway, quick shout out to the patrons. Let's see. Hey, we lost one. Look at that. So we have the current batch of patrons. We have Sean Richman. We have Chris from Dust Bowl Geek. We have Tony Espin, Anthony Mackey, Ed Ferguson, Johan Edestrom. We have Metal Dan. We have Chris Vaglio from the Song Swap Showdown.
We have the Metal Dentist, Gabriel Ruiz. We have from Yarg Metal. Proudly sporting his T -shirt during the episode, if you watch the YouTube version. It is Mr. Brad Dahl, Dr. Poison himself. We have Mike Jones. We have Jeremy Weltman. We have Steve Hoker. And we have Steven Saylor. Thank you, all of you guys, for your support. We lost Pascal, looks like. I guess this was not for him. And that sucks, but is what it is. I can't hold a gun to anyone's head to have them
jump on over to Patreon. If you enjoy the show enough and want to contribute two bucks a month to get my other podcast, that is cool. That is fine. I appreciate it. I appreciate all the support you can provide, even if it's just sharing this online. If you can tell from my voice. I've been battling a bunch of nasty different things. We've also had family issues with guests and different people that were scheduled to do shows. We're going to be playing catch up in May with regards
to that. So no biggie. I don't know that anyone has missed out or missed us. If you have, I appreciate it. Either way, we're back with this 1989 episode, some technical difficulties, but I think we get things sorted out to the point where it is entertaining nonetheless. Let's see where your favorites of 89 end up on the list. Thanks for listening. Here we go. Welcome one and all to this episode of Signal from Mars. I'm your host, Victor. And joining me tonight is, on the west coast of the
U .S., Metal Dan, Johan in Sweden, and Jeremy in the U .K. We are finally back with another live episode. We are live with our 1989... episode a long time in the making the voting was great for this and i project this to be a a fun episode i think you guys will enjoy it quite a bit and um a lot of voting took place as i said 81 albums were voted on which is a new record for a um a year end or a year episode. And we're going
to stick to the top 15 here. When this, when the podcast format does come out of this episode, I will post within the show notes, all 81 albums, but we'll go 15 through 11 real quickly here.
And I've got a few. surprises in store because what usually happens is as i'm going through these lists i have metal dan i have brad who are quick to the draw and as i'm describing albums they automatically start to read off the same wikipedia page that i'm reading and figuring out what the album is beforehand so We're going to be doing something different for 10 through 1, which hopefully will add to the entertainment
factor. I worked on this and I've had it in my mind for a few weeks and I hope you guys think it's cool as well. Anyway. Victor, can I just interrupt? Sure. We have some people in the messenger chat that are looking for a way in. Ed and Brad. There seems to be some kind of problem, but I just want to let you know. Tell them, Victor. Oh, go to the week before on the Friday, last Friday, and the link is there. Yeah, I'll paste
it in the group now as well. See comment earlier before we joined that I almost said the same thing to Victor and he paused and said, I said, I do. I do support for a living. As somebody said, project management, that's what I do. I would like to be retired like Brad. So would I. I can tell Johan while we're waiting that I have the Hives tickets for later in the year. Mm -hmm. Goal achieved. Never done. Really great band, especially live. They're better live than
on record, my opinion. I'm looking forward to it. A lot of energy. Yeah, sure. Yeah, that's something that we'll talk about in the coming weeks, possible shows for the summer, because there's a lot of options for us actually here in Europe as well as while we're in the States. It'd be interesting. Joining us is Mr. Ed. Mr. Ed. Can you hear me? We can hear you, Ed. Mr. Ed's good. Everybody calls me Mr. Ed because of that show with the horse. Yeah. It's been
my whole life. I didn't want to call you that. You know what I'm talking about, Johan, Jeremy, Mr. Ed? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'm American. My childhood, yeah. It was a horse called Mr. Ed. Very, very good looking horse though. Very good looking horse. Here we go. Excellent. I'm waiting to see if Brad joins in because Brad has a knack for joining us right as the recording usually starts. So the editing becomes always fun on my end. Come on, Brad. If you're going to join
us, let's go. I'll be right back. Victor has been challenged this whole time of getting things synced up in the behind the scenes of what's going on is what I've seen so far. Yes, it is. It is always fun. And it's sometimes with these episodes with so many people. Luckily, there is a plug -in that kind of levels everything out for us. Brad is playing the part of Brad. Like I said, he likes for me to have challenging edits. So welcome to the show, Brad. Hey, thanks,
guys. Glad to be here. What's going on with Patreon? What do you mean what's going on with Patreon? It went down for a few minutes. I still can't get it to load. Luckily, I had it bookmarked or loaded already. Yeah, there you go. I posted the link last week. All right. There's Brian. Hey, Edgar. You're right. I'm late. Actually, I've been here for about 20 minutes, so not really late. In any event, all right. So let's kick
this off. We're going to start out. At 15 here, go 15 through 11, and then we'll jump on into the top 10 with all the surprises on many different levels. But anyway, this is a great dichotomy out of the 81 albums. There's a lot of different types of hard rock and metal mixed in here. So I think everyone will be pleased. I don't know that everyone will be pleased with the positioning of things, but yeah, it should be good. Anyway, kicking things off at 15 is the 1989 release
from Exodus, Fabulous Disaster. At 14, an album that a lot of people voted on. It is Disney After Dark, D .A .D. with No Fuel for the Pilgrims. Man, that is an amazing, I think it's my favorite. Absolutely. Is it? What, your favorite album? Of theirs, I think. Oh, of theirs, okay. Okay. All right. D -A -D. No fuel for the pilgrims. Actually, this is my number one. I've not heard of this. What? Yeah. What's the band name? D -A -D. I think that's the hard part for them.
They were called Disneyland After Dark originally, and Disneyland, of course, sued them for that. So when you do searches D -A -D, you have to use a hyphen, D -A. Stuff like that. And they can be difficult to search. In the U .S., they're not popular at all. It's difficult to search for. I can't get merchandise from them here. They're in Sweden or Norway, whatever. Denmark. Sorry. That area. Yeah. But amazing band. No disrespect. Interesting. I'll have to listen
to it later. Especially if Johan thinks it's number one. Yeah, because it's... Especially for the name. When that album came out, it was very fresh. It felt so fresh. A Danish band that sounded kind of like ACDC. The songs were very melodic. I don't know. It felt so fresh. Absolutely my number one that year. So if you haven't heard that album, please check it out. It's great. From Top to Bottom, Jihad, and all those songs. They're huge in Europe. They do massive festivals.
In the U .S., they can't even get any attention. And they're on the Monsters of Rock Cruise this year. Cool. Next year. And the bass player only has two strings. Oh, they're good. Jesper Binzer. Yeah. Okay, cool. Edgar Winterson mentioned Nuclear Salt, Handle With Care. That is on the list of 81 albums. I'll say that. So, okay. Let's move on here. At 13, King's X with Gretchen Goes to Nebraska. Number 12, Kiss. with Hot in the Shade. And at 11, Alice Cooper with Trash. All right.
So let's get ready for the top 10 here. Number 10. Any guess as to what that is? I'll play it again. Yep. Presto. Number 10. No, it is not eccentric. It is what? Did you, was the drums? Yeah. That was the room. That's the second song from Headless Cross. It is Black Sabbath, Headless Cross, Johan got Devil and Daughter. Man, Johan, we need a prize for you. That was awesome. April
17th, my brother's birthday. 1989, recorded between August and November of 88, recorded in several studios, Soundmill, Leeds, West, Yorkshire, England, Woodcray Studios, Berkshire, England, Amazon Studios, Liverpool, Merseyside, England. Album is 40 Minutes, 13 Seconds. Label was IRS, just recently reissued all those IRS albums. And the producers were Tony Iommi and Cozy Pal. The singles were Headless Cross, Devil and Daughter, which
Johan just guessed, and Call of the Wild. And interestingly enough, the cover for Everywhere But the UK has color, and the UK cover was black and white. Hmm. Any explanation for that? I just saw, let's see, alternate cover. Nothing that I can see going over the notes real quickly here. Because we only got color television in about 2021. Anyone want to say anything about this album? I bought it when it came out, and it's
a great album. Great sounding. Not every song is great, but perhaps four of them is really good. So I really can recommend that album. But I guess that everyone has heard it. So great one. It's a great lineup. Yeah. That's for sure. Yeah, Cozy was a good addition. I'm not sure musically what he brought to, you know, as far as writing, what he brought to the album. But I think Johan nailed it. I mean, it's got four or five good, strong songs, and then the others
are just kind of okay. But overall, I think it's a fantastic album. I think it was, is this the first one that Tony Martin really was the singer? Yeah. Eternal Idol. I guess he redid Ray Gill and stuff. Yeah. He just came in and redid the vocals. This one, he was there. This one, I think he wrote the lyrics. Yeah. It actually says that I owe me Tony Martin and cozy pal wrote everything. And then Jeff Nichols co -wrote all but two of
the tracks. Cool. Yeah. I, I mean, they got a lot of crap from people that I know when this album came out. I remember sitting in class and these guys sitting in front of me were talking about the video and they were mocking Tony Martin saying that he sang with a lisp. And I was like, what are you talking about? He didn't sing with a lisp. You guys are. Anyway, they they didn't like Tony Martin at all. And I don't think that's a new thing. I think there's plenty of people
out there that don't like Tony Martin. But, you know. I don't know what's not to like. He sounds great on this album. Agree. I think everybody sounds great on the album. Especially the drums from Cozy. Yeah, well, you would hope if Cozy's in the production, when one of the production chairs, that he'd get the drum sounding the way he wanted. So I love Cozy, pal. He's one of my all -time favorite drummers. One of the guys that I could just sit there and watch, you know.
I don't care about what else is going on on stage. He's just, he's, he's awesome. Yeah. Anyone else? Headless cross. All right. Let's move on to the next one. Number nine. Wow. Any guesses on that one? They're playing in San Diego at the end of the month. What was that, Ed? Dan's going. Oh. Yeah, they're playing in San Diego at the end of the month, and the band is called Testament. This band? Oh, you're right. At number nine? Uh -huh. Who did you say, Dan? Testament. Testament.
At number nine. Testament, practice what you preach. You can tell by the production of it, even if you didn't recognize the song. You can tell. Man, I saw them on this tour at the Country Club in Reseda back in the day. I had an argument with my, she's my wife now, then she was just my friend. She didn't go with me. I had to go
on my own. She got mad at me for acting. badly and so I fucked up that date and but here we are so that's testament on that tour I've seen them many times and like I said they're in San Diego at the end of the month but they're not playing LA for some reason and I should go you should go Ed so 89 was a weird year for me Music -wise, I told you in the past, my parents put me into a treatment center when I was 19, and
it was April of 89. And I didn't follow all their plans, so they didn't let me come back home. So I was kind of living anywhere I could. So I wasn't collecting music. And a lot of things that came out this year, I may not have heard until later. Although I do remember friends of mine having this cassette when it came out. And I think that's the way I heard it the most. But it's got some good songs like Practice What You Preach. I think that the production got better,
even though it's still not excellent. It was at least better than the last two. It wasn't a record that I got to sink into a whole lot, and I didn't have any money to go to shows and things like that. It's not as good to me as The New Order, and especially the original, The Legacy. But it was still a really good effort, and I'm sure it's got songs that they probably play to
this day in concert, I'm sure. Yeah, when I talked to Chuck Billy, that was one of the things he mentioned was that how they hated the production of the first two albums. So I'm sure they went out of their way with this one. It was produced by Alex Perialis. This did come out on Megaforce Atlantic, 46 minutes, 6 seconds. Came out on August 8th, 1989. Was recorded between February and March of 89 at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley,
California. And the singles off of this are Practice What You Preach, the title track, Greenhouse Effect, and The Ballad. So anyone else? The Ballad got overplayed. I think that kind of wore me out on this record because MTV was playing, I remember now. That ballad, yeah. Right. Yeah, it didn't need that. They were going up against Metallica, and that wasn't... Okay, Metallica then later on did a ballad, but it wasn't needed.
No. Right. Yeah, no, I agree. I mean, the title track to me is my favorite song off of this. It's hard, too, to handle Chuck Billy's voice in a ballad. I think his vocals are perfect for thrash metal, but when I hear him in that ballad, it just gets old really fast. I mean, it depends because I think Return to Serenity, which is also a ballad, I think he's able to pull it off more there because I think that's maybe a little bit more akin to like a fade to black. Yeah,
it might depend on the style of this tune. That's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a good point. All right, so at number nine, Testament, with practice what you preach. Let's jump on to the next one here. Number eight. I got it. Anybody else? Let's hear it then. That's great white. Yep, Mr. Bone. I got to hear them play that the other day, Sunday. I knew that with this album that I needed to make it very short because Dan was going to get this if I went anything more
than like a second or two. So yes, this is Great White, Twice Shy, April 12th, 1989. recorded at total access in redondo beach california 49 minutes 24 seconds came out on capital produced by alan niven and michael lardy and these singles were once bitten twice shy with slow ride being the b -side the angel song with runaway being the b and house of broken love with bitches and other women as the uh b -side to that Dan, go
ahead. Yeah, that's one of the good days of when you had to chase singles that would come out and they'd have unique B -sides and songs that I think they just came up with in the studio. And those were good times. Simply Bands did that back then. So a lot of cool, different, unique songs. Absolutely huge album at the time. Great White went out with Tesla and Kix on that tour. So you can go wrong. Irvine Meadows packed highlight of the of the summer. It was it was great. They
were they were hitting it all. They weren't as bluesy yet, I don't think. It was a great time. Brad, anything to add on to that? Yeah, there's I got to say, like I said, I saw them Sunday. They played Mr. Bone. And I think they're sounding better now than they have in the last probably 15 years. So good for them. And yeah, this is a good album. I think this is the, you know, 1989, I got my first CD player. And I think this is the second CD I got. Okay. Cool. All right,
let's... Move on here. So far, we've gone from Black Sabbath to Testament to Great White, like I mentioned at the top of the show. This is going to vary quite a bit from band to band as we move up the list here. Number seven. Faith no more. Johan got it. All right. So released on June 20th, 1989. Recorded between December 88 and January 89 at Studio D in Sausalito, California. The CD and cassette version were 54 -58 long,
while the LP was 43 -22. came out on Slash Reprise Albums, or Records, and the producer was Mike Wallace and Faith No More. Singles were From Out of Nowhere, Epic, Falling to Pieces, which is that intro there, Surprise You're Dead, and Edge of the World. Johan, what do you have to say about this album? First, I have to say that the first time I heard it was probably 1990 or 1991, because I'm in Europe. So it was kind of like that. Great album. Also very fresh. It felt
new. And I did see them at Roskilde Festival in 1992 on this tour. Amazing. this album and the next one is masterpieces both of them I think I don't know what you think but I think that's two very different and I don't know if it was groundbreaking or not but it was to me it was kind of melodic and a little bit rap and heavy and And what do you say? The band had an image that were fun and new, very new. Yep. That's it for me. So I say the reason this album became
as popular as it is. It's because of the Metallica effect. And what happens when you open for a major big tour and the major headliner, Metallica, fully embraces the band and tells everybody the time to listen to the album, give it a chance. And so they went out on tour with Metallica and they went over great. And that's the reason why we all listened to this album and then we all said, yeah, you're right. This is really cool. I think without that happening, I don't know
if it gets as popular as it does. I don't know if I ever listened to it. I might have never given it a chance. Some friends were kind of talking about it, but it was different. So that's why Faith No More, I think, exploded like they did with that album. Yeah. Because the first single, From Out of Nowhere, it's saying here that it came out in the UK on October 30th, 89. And then Epic came out in January of 90. They re -released that because I remember hearing
From Out of Nowhere. Could have been a college radio or may have been like once or twice on MTV. And that song got like no play at all. it wasn't until Epic came out that it started getting massive play on the radio. And I mean, Epic and, and falling to pieces were huge on, on us radio. So, I mean, for a lot of people, it changed the landscape of things. So to answer what you said, Johan, I mean, it introduced Mike Patton to so many people became a huge influence. to a lot
of people. I always felt that they kind of did a lot of things of what Anthrax was doing with imagery at one point in time with the shorts and the colors and stuff like that. But they did, I mean, their music was completely different because they were mixing aspects of, as you said, rap and melodies and funk and full -on metal as well. I mean, going back to the track from Out of Nowhere, the melodies in that, I mean,
just listen to that. And when you get to the crescendo in that song towards the end where he starts saying, one minute here, one minute there, don't know if I'll ever die or whatever the exact lyric is, or cry or die, I forget. Anyway, but that melody gets stuck in your head. heard that song covered by, I don't know how many different bands, Halloween covered that, for example, that track. So it goes to show that they influenced newer bands and older bands that
were around. I mean, they were, I mentioned King's X before. I think they were kind of like King's X in the sense that once people got to know who they were, they were kind of a musician's band. You know, a lot of bands started talking about them. So definitely laid the groundwork for a lot of what came out after that. So anyone else faith no more before we move on? All right. Let's see. You guys have been able to guess all of them so far. Number six. Yeah, I got it. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. I think it's Bangtango. I could be wrong. Wait, wait, wait. No way. That's what Guns N' Roses? That's wrong. Okay. Johan said Guns N' Roses. Can I hear it again? That's what it sounded like, but that's two years late. Number six. Wow. I don't have it. I don't want to have silence. No. Johan was not that far from it, though. LA Guns. It's LA Guns. Jeremy said it. Guns. LA Guns, cocked and loaded. So the album was released. Let's see if this loads for me.
All right. Released in August, August 22nd of 1989. Recorded from April to June of 89 at one -on -one in North Hollywood, California and Music Grinder, Hollywood, California and Conway, Hollywood, California. 54 minutes, 24 seconds. Released on Vertigo. Was released on Mercury in the U .S., if I'm not mistaken. Producers are Dwayne Barron, John Perdell, and Tom Worman. The singles off of this are Rip and Tear, Never Enough, and The Ballad of Jane. This is their biggest charting
success. I will still remember that I gave Melanie Strecco a 90 -minute cassette, a Maxell 90 -minute cassette. And on one side, she recorded the first LA Guns album for me. And on the second side, she recorded this album for me. This is a lot more polished than the first one. And the big hit off of this is Ballad of Jane. I remember going back into this before revisiting a lot of these albums and thinking, yeah, I'm not going to pick an album with one of these wonky ballads
that I don't care for. And going back and listening to it and thinking, fuck, I really like this song. I really like this other song. I really like this other song. Thinking about how. You know, Tracy Gunn's playing on this. It's so heavily influenced by Randy Rhoads playing and thinking about, OK, taking away that one ballad that I don't really care for. This isn't a bad album after all. So it is our number six. Anyone else want to mention something about it? They. Jeremy.
Jeremy. No, not really. I'm not a massive fan of it, to be honest. So I'll leave you guys to speak about it. They worked and worked. They did supports for Maiden. They supported everybody. They went out. And then Ballad of Jane comes along and it's a hit. This is the time of when ballads do a lot. Probably White Testament maybe did what they did. And it launched them into headlining. So they headlined the local Irvine
Meadows. And here they were, 15 ,000 seats. They finally got all the way up there, and I think they went back down after that. But, you know. Yes, they did. Yeah, you know, great album. And I think the infighting did not help, because after this, I think fame got to them maybe. I wasn't there, but it seems like Tracy and all of them, then they started having problems. Yeah. Probably money, credits. When did Tracy leave the band? uh, way later because it was Hollywood
vampires after this. And then the whole band broke apart. And then after that, they put out, um, damn it. I, I forget the name of the, the, the fourth album. Uh, but that album was like pieced together. Some of the, some of the tracks have a drum machine on it. Some of it has, You know, then after that, actually, Phil Lewis left. Yeah. Then they kind of got back together again, and then Tracy left. And, you know, it was a
whole big thing. And it's funny because the two British fellows that you turned me on to, Brad, their podcast. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Mojo and Hunzee. Yeah. I had to stop listening to that show because some of their opinions are just like way out there. They hate a lot of American hard rock and metal, but they were saying that Hollywood Vampires is by far their best album. And I'm
like... Everybody's got opinions. You know what's funny is their show this week, they both accidentally picked the same album and it's that Faith No More album that we talked about. Is it? What are the odds? Yeah. Well, they, they also, the, the, the, my, my tipping point was them, uh, was them crapping all over Metallica's injustice for all. So I was like, all right, I'm done. They called it boredom for all or something like that. So I'm like, all right, I'm done. Goodbye.
I have a quick question for Johan. Johan, LA Guns, did they make any noise over there in Sweden? No. Not really. Sorry. Doesn't sound like they made much noise in Manchester. No. I mean, I think that they're here, again, based on the popularity of what, you know, a lot of the American voters voted for. Yeah. All right. Cool. Let's move on to the next one. Number five. I know that was super long, Dan. You don't know what it is? I do know what it is, and I can't get
it. Oh, okay, good. Is that Tesla? I think it's Tesla. Tesla. Final answer. Yeah. It is the great radio controversy. That is the, the intro to a lady luck. I was going to do a hang tough because the bass intro is so similar to a lot of other songs. Uh, but then I said, Oh wait, there's this one real quick backwards guitar thing at the beginning of this other song. So let's do that. But anyway, this was released February
1st, 1989, uh, was recorded in 88. Recorded at Bearsville in Woodstock, New York, where Rush recorded some albums as well and a bunch of other people. The length is 59 minutes and 18 seconds. Came out on Geffen. Produced by Steve Thompson and Michael Barbiero. Singles are Heaven's Trail, No Way Out, Hang Tough, Love Song, and The Way It Is. Biggest song off of this is Love Song.
It is the one song that I have always skipped on this album because once again, a sappy ballad, which is just plugged in the middle of a really good rock album. I played the ever living shit out of this album back in the day to the point where I. Had to stop listening to Tesla because I listened to it too much. But going back and listening to it, I like the majority of this album. I mean, out of 13 tracks, I would say there's probably 11 songs that I really, really
like off of this. I mean, even on Wikipedia, they're roped into glam metal, which I don't think they were a glam band at all. The look wasn't there. And the playing was definitely heavier than a lot of, like we're going to the LA Guns, for example. We went from LA Guns to this. This is a lot heavier than that LA Guns album. They're more of a 70s hard rock band than they are a Sunset Strip band. They're more 70s
YNT, in my opinion, than they are. poison for example so um great radio controversy who wants to talk about this one yeah it's a really good album i like it i like early tesla i think it's really good i'm actually quite surprised looking through the track listing they don't play a lot more of those songs live or they don't seem to um because you like you say picture you know you could probably pick six seven eight of those songs and They'd all be good live tracks. But,
yeah, I really like early Tesla. Really good band. I like this album. It's really good. Yeah, as dumb as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is here in America, Tesla should deserve it for their catalog. As you say, there's so many great songs off this album, and they have a catalog, so they can't play them all off this one. But we all played this album over and over back when this came out. They went on tour, like I said, with Great White and Kix and huge. Johan, Tesla
make any noise in Sweden? No, again, sorry. Actually, no, I don't think they ever play Sweden Rock. They play, every band played there, but no, Tesla. I remember them from MTV. The US version, but I don't, not for me. Okay. I think this is a great album. I think it may be, you know, looking back as I listened to it with the other albums, it's a little slickly produced. I think those songs could benefit from a little bit harder, harder edge on the sound, but they're great songs.
And other than like Victor said, love song. I'd be okay if I never heard that song again. Ever. Was the song that I was asked to play when auditioning for a cover band? Oh, no. And I said, are you fucking kidding me? I hate this song. I said, okay, I'll do it. Yeah, there you go. You're a pro. I played it, but no. Seriously, we can't pick anything else. Well, we could do this or Signs. I'm like, ah, do I want – That's equally as bad. Do I want to put a 45 to my head or a
38? That's what you're asking me. The thing is today, you just mentioned cover songs, is they have albums of cover songs, and I think they do cover it pretty well. So they're staying active
by doing that. My biggest – issue with their covers or if you're going to cover deep purple for example do we need another cover of space trucking seriously i mean is is is there anything else i mean you look at they also did if i'm not mistaken like a popular steve miller song and it's like nobody's gonna listen to this over the fucking original Or if you're going to do it, do something different with it. Just my opinion. Yeah. I'm surprised. I like their cover of Space.
Maybe where you lived, Victor, they played Space Trucking all the time, but I never heard it all. On the radio? The Deep Purple song? The original? Yeah, the original. Every single day. new york metropolitan area you got you got space trucking you got um my woman of tokyo you got uh hush you got uh smoke on the water that of course is universal overplayed but no those songs didn't make it on the west coast as much No, he's right. You know, and Dan, you'd like this. We used to
sing My Woman from Tokyo. We used to sing My Woman from Ontario. Ontario, California, not Canada. Yeah, Ontario. No, not Canada. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Inland Empire. That's awesome. Cool. Good for you. Good on you. Yeah, but again, since this was a song we didn't hear very much, I was okay with him covering it. Yeah, Deep Purple just didn't rule the airwaves. What if Johan said it? Sorry? I bet Johan has heard a little Deep Purple in Sweden. Yeah, you ever hear Deep
Purple in Sweden? Nope. Yeah. Sure did. All right. Number four, and I almost gave this away before the show. Number four. I got it. That's Wasp. Yes! Oh, yeah. Fuck. This is a fun game. Oh, man, Johan. It is Wasp. Mean man. Headless children. We went from headless cross to headless children. Look at how we've advanced. So anyway, this album came out in April of 89. Clock's in at 48 minutes and 32 seconds on Capitol Records. Produced by
Blackie Lawless. Singles are Mean Man. The Real Me, which is almost what I said when we started the show. And then Forever Free. All right. Who wants to talk about Headless Children? Yeah, they put out a lot of singles. Same thing. I have some of their hard -to -find B -sides. They were massive at the time on this album. And they're playing the UK this year. Yeah. Europe. Yeah, yeah, with. And Armored Saints, I think, joining them for a couple. That's right, yeah. And Jeremy
should go. Yeah, I might try and go. I actually listened to this album today and I really enjoyed it. I don't think I've listened to this one as much as some of the others because the other ones have got more of their hit singles on, the ones that really made it. I enjoyed it. I thought it was good. I think once you turn up Wasp nice and loud, they're a good band. They really get you. I thought it was good. Yeah, in Sweden, the Wasp are still... Not huge, but they go here
every second year. They play small towns and they sell out. They played here in 98, perhaps, and I got the honor to hang out with the whole band for a whole day. Wasp are... They have...
In Sweden, Wasp are very famous because they were on a... big big television show in 1984 when they released their debut album and they toured here and the shocking of the stage performance were so spectacular so the Swedish state TV made a big thing about it so they have to thank the Swedish TV for being so big here in Sweden and they still are so they can go here and Play solo shows, even though it's clubs, but it's good for them. Even though it's a lot of backing tracks
nowadays. Yes. Thank you. Brad, anything on this? No, I got nothing here. Sorry. Okay. Backing tracks be damned. They sound good live probably because they have it. If they need it, it's near the end probably. So why not go and do it? I've seen him twice now recently. So this is good, I guess, at Blackies. I mean he has a reputation of being difficult and a jerk for some people. But whatever. He's a legend. He's pissed off some people, but, yeah, he made his own path.
Chris Holmes doesn't like him, you know, whatever. Money. I think that Blackie was kind of a gentleman. Chris Holmes was crazy. He still is. That man. I remember him very well. It was very hard to be a sober person around him and to try to, no, don't go there, don't go there, don't go there, don't do that. Big guy. He was a two -year -old. Yeah, he was like 6 '7", I think. That was a good and very fun Saturday. I, it's gotta be
difficult to be in a band with people. And if the other guy's crazy, how do you deal with that day in day out? And then back in those days was on a bus, you know, you didn't fly in and fly out. You were stuck with each other. Yeah. So bad shit's going to happen. Bad vibes are going to happen, I guess. Yeah. If, if you guys listened to a recent episode of a decibel geek where they're,
um, talking about the Rockin' Pot Expo. Courtney Cronin is talking about, I think, the Monsters of Rock Cruise, where Chris Holmes was on it. And she tells a pretty interesting story about him. I'll have to check that out. Actually, I thought it was fairly humorous. It was hilarious. Thanks for that tip. I'll check it out. There
you go. i have a chris holmes i mean i was that day i was working as a chef and as a you know i tried to take care of them uh that stains here in sweden and chris holmes put on a robber's mask and he ran out on the parking lot and chased normal citizens here in my of Sweden just for fun. And that's the truth. And that's a very special thing to do for a grown -up man. Now, do you think he would remember that he did that
today? No. No? No, because, you know, here in Sweden we have a quite, we had a strict policy against marijuana. And the band Wasp didn't have that same policy. So it was in the 90s here. It was, as I said, a strange day and a very fun day. Nothing bad happened, but that memory lives on forever. Great story. Great story, Johan. Ed, any Wasp stories? No, I love their first two records to this day, still love to listen to them. But by this time, I wasn't paying attention.
And, you know, in the last few years with iTunes, now that I can go back and listen to everything easily, I put their entire catalog in my library.
And I just not really heard anything that. interests me that much and it's kind of depressing because i want to like it but i don't know i guess it's just over the years i just you know like my more extreme metal a bit too much sometimes and if when it comes to listening to stuff more in that vein that heavy metal vein it's uh you know stuff that kind of connects with my earlier memories i guess but i don't know it's just I love the band, and I want to like it more than I do, but
it's just kind of a casual listen to me besides their first two records. Yeah. Okay. Cool. Let's move on here to number three. Number three. Modern Rebirth. Monster Crew. It's – oh. Whoa. Johan got it. Number three. I think this to me was a surprise. At number three, it is Dr. Feelgood, released August 28, 1989, recorded between 88 and 89 at Little Mountain. Sound Studios in Vancouver. Length is 45 minutes, 7 seconds on Elektra. Was
produced by Bob Rock. Singles are Dr. Feelgood, Kickstart My Heart, Without You, Don't Go Away Mad, Just Go Away, and Same Old Situation. Who wants to talk about this? Yeah, it's an absolutely brilliant album. I love it, Victor. I know that you're not so keen on it, but I think it's great. I play it quite a lot. It's probably one of my favourite Motley Crue albums. I think it's got my favourite Motley Crue song on the album, Kickstart My Heart. I love it. I love Dr. Feelgood, the
title track. I just think it's a real good time. of songs, you know, by a band that doesn't give a shit and they just play it and they play it really well on this. I think it's really well produced. It's really, there's got a lot of commerciality on it, which I like as well. You know, it's got that sort of 80s commerciality, but I think it's really stood the test of time. It's a great album. Proper rock and roll album. Johan, how about you? Jeremy said it all so well. So great. So
many good songs on it. I mean, everybody knows the story. They almost came back from the grave and did this excellent record. So what Jeremy said, it's a great album and it still is today, production -wise and song -wise. Brad? All I know is that I feel like there's not a day that goes by that I don't hear the beginning of Kickstart My Heart. It's like everywhere in sports. You can't avoid it. I've heard it enough. Yeah, I got nothing to say here. I'm glad Jeremy likes
it. How about that? It's not metal. We need something that Ed can really get his teeth into here. He's gone now. He's coming back. It's offended by my crew. It's not in my top 10, but I know that I listened to it when it came out. I think it's a 50 -50 album on the songs. I like the earlier days. It was. better than some of the other stuff they have in their catalog. I can listen to some of it now. And I saw them on the tour. But yeah, I'm a fan of it. Cool. All right. Okay, so I
like this album when it came out. My biggest peeve with this album is arguing with people as to this being their best album. Oh, wow. And the band saying this is their best album. And it's Dr. Feelgood by Motley Crue. There's, in my opinion, and this is just my opinion, there's no way that this is better than Too Fast for Love and Shout at the Devil. Or even Theater of Pain. The singles off of this outside of Kickstart My Heart, which I can listen to, I can't listen
to any of the other songs. Wow. They're probably the band that I've seen most live in my lifetime. And hearing Don't Go Away Mad and Same Old Situation every fucking time. Drives me crazy. And hearing that on the radio, and that's the thing, U .S. radio, you hear all of those songs, at least New York metropolitan area, all of those songs got played every single day on the radio. Every day. Where I'm thinking to myself, are you serious? You're not playing anything off of any of the,
well, no, excuse me. Add smoking in the boys' room to that list as to what they would play. On the radio. So I think that this is an album much. This is their Van Hagar album to me in the sense that I liked it when it came out. And as time went by, I lost interest in this album for them to say that it's their best album, I think, is a joke. Yes, it's their biggest selling album. Yes, I get it. I get it that this is the
album that will heat their pools. for a few decades to come um but the deep tracks slice of your pie rattlesnake shake nikki sweet she goes down time for change to me none of those songs are strong i mean i get it the singles are these what's that even the titles sound cheesy just listen to you go through yeah and this is the album To me, Motley Crue became an imitation of themselves. This is where for the longest time they said, oh, no, don't compare us to all
these L .A. strip bands, to all these glam bands. We were here before them. Oh, yeah, but we're going to put out an album just like them because that's what's selling right now. And I will say that everything that came out after this, In my opinion, it's probably better than this. And I know that's not a popular opinion. But there are songs on their subsequent albums that to me are better than this. Anyway. Rant over. But we don't have that same radio climate that you
have in the US. Speaking only for me, but it was a bit more exclusive than it was perhaps for you in the New York, New Jersey area. You didn't hear those songs on the radio. Never. Every day. To this day, you hear them every day. Yeah. So a different thing. All right. So I think for a lot of people, at least for me, when I started tallying this, I thought that that was possibly going to be our number one. Just due
to popularity. I will say that the top three albums got voted on a lot more than every other album. Two and three are only separated by two points. And one and two are separated by one point. Whoa. No way. Up until the last. You know, I really had a hard time ranking these albums for this year. You know, there wasn't a clear number one for me. And maybe that kind of shows in the voting as well. It wasn't like this one's
definitely number one. I mean, all the past years in the 80s that we've done, I've had like really strong first four or five albums and then kind of, you know, had to figure it out for the rest of it. But this year, yeah, I had no clear thought on any of them. None of them really stood out. So I'm curious to hear number two and three, or two and one, excuse me, because that was three, right? Yeah, that was three. For me, I would say that there were some clear -cut favorites.
But anyway, all right. So number two. Number two. I got it. I got it. I got it. You got it? Yeah, it's Skid Row. It is indeed Skid Row. I heard a bunch of those songs last week, too. Released January 24th, 1989. Recorded in 88. Recorded at Royal Recorders, Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Length of the album is 39 minutes, 28 seconds. Released on Atlantic. Produced by Michael Wagner. And singles are Youth Gone Wild, 18 and Life, and I Remember You. Johan, just so you know,
all of these songs. are on US radio. And this is a band from my home state of New Jersey, outside of Sebastian Bach, who is from Ontario, Canada. And I did not get into Skid Row probably up until the last five or six years because they were on the radio, on every local radio station so much that I couldn't stand them. Because it was the same songs over and over and over again.
And it was funny, when I finally listened to this album, I started realizing that Eddie Trunk had played every single one of the songs off of this album on his radio show at one point or another. So I had already heard the album. So anyway, Brad, you got to see Sebastian Bach at M3 last week. Is he still able to pull these songs off? Yeah, I've heard other reviews from people that just watch videos on YouTube and people are saying, oh, he didn't sound very good.
And I've seen plenty of bad sounding videos of him, but I thought he did really well. He came across really well. It's kind of interesting for him being a headliner for that night. Because in years past when he's played the festival, he's been really early in the day. But people showed up for him. I mean, and people loved what he was doing. What was really cool is he played not just all Skid Row songs. He started off with a couple of songs off his new album, which was
good. And he played one American Metalhead. He played that, which is I really like that album. So he sounded really good. Skid Row is kind of a band that I just never really just hit me with their music. But Friday night, the songs kind of resonated with me. I don't know. Maybe it's just he has a really good band. That helps. And he comes across very, very likable on stage, which is not what you would expect. Shelly liked him. Shelly, you know, normally she'd be like
after three songs, let's get out of here. But she, we, we stayed till the end and, and yeah, so there you go. Somebody brand new being thrown into the mix. I mean, I'm sure she's heard some of those, the songs that you mentioned, but yeah, she, he was, he was good. Okay. I got, I got to say he was, he was good. So there you go. There you go. Skid row boys. Anyone else on Skid Row? Five -time platinum selling in the U .S.,
which means it was huge. It went over on the West Coast as well, too, on all the radio and all the songs. And sonically, as we've spoken about other bands, this one I think is mixed really well. So it plays really well. It plays really well loud. It's a perfect balance. The bass, the drums, the guitar. They nailed it. At the time, that's all you listen to. And it was a little bit different at the time coming out. You're getting away from Poison and the
lighter stuff. And they were a little bit heavier. Of course, Metallica comes along and kills that. But still, and I think they teamed up with Pantera not too long after this. So, yeah, we wore the album out to where you can't play it anymore. You don't need to hear 18 and Life ever again. Never, and just stop. So that's what happens is you listen to it too much. Yeah, it's the ballad thing. It's like enough. But pretty much all of these albums have the ballad, right? True.
Yeah, Testament, Great White, LA Guns, Tesla. I'm not sure about the Wasp album, but Motley Crue had several, and this had several. Yeah, it was mandatory during those years. Yeah. Yeah, the record company is probably leaning on it. Yeah, because they made them for me. I like balance. You're the guy. I like a good, solid power balance from the late 80s, early 90s. There you go. What's your favorite food to cook while listening to a ballad? Oh, it's always some selfish. Mussels,
spaghetti vongole. Oh, vongole. A la vongole, yeah. I think at this point, Johan likes to move it from the kitchen to maybe the bedroom. That is true. Oh, man. All right. There's another show right there, Victor. What's your go -to song in the bedroom? There you go. Top ten. Top ten bedroom songs. Could be a topic for the future. Let's talk about that Slayer bone again. I'm sorry. Sometimes you've got to hit your Slayer bone. Wait, wait, wait. Where'd that go? Tickle
my Slayer bone. I love having my Slayer bone tickled. Rock and roll. That's it. All right. So let's recap this real quick. At 10, Black Sabbath, the Headless Cross. At 9, Testament with Practice What You Preach. At 8, Great White with Twice Bitten. At seven, Faith No More with The Real Thing. At six, L .A. Guns Cocked and Loaded. At five, Tessel with The Great Radio Controversy. At four, Wasp with The Headless Children. At three, Motley Crue with Dr. Feelgood.
At two, Skid Row with their self -titled debut album. Any guesses as to... What number one is, or you guys just want me to go with the... I think I know. Well, I can say what it is. I know. Sodom. Great agent orange. Jeremy? The cult. Metal Dan? It's not Lizzie Borden. I don't know what the number one is, but it's not mine. Brad? It's not Badlands. I'm looking at my list here, and I don't. It's not Leatherwolf. I don't know. That's a West Coast thing. Not Leatherwolf. Ed,
any guesses? It's not except. Sepultura? No. Yes. Yes. There you go. It's not. Could I get that lucky tonight? It's not Dirty Looks. All right. All right. So, Johan, it should be Rush, right? It's not Rush. Presto. It's not that great a sound. Number one. Oh, wait. Where's the sound? Number one. Oh, you got to be shitting me. All right. Hold on. Let me fix this. Comment if you know it, Victor. It's Steve Stevens. Atomic Playboy. Atomic Playboys. No, it is not. I bet Dan has
some. Oh, why is this just working? Hold on, hold on. Yeah, I do. I knew it. I wish I could have seen more. Nothing like technical difficulties on the air. It's not Annihilator, which is almost a perfect album. It's not, oh, Blue Murder. It's not Badlands. It's got to be the Celts. Udo. Number one. Oh, come on. That's it? Are you going to give us? That's all I'm going to give you guys. I've been hearing this in my head. Is that Badlands? Badlands. Badlands. Yeah. Badlands.
Must be. You sure that's Badlands? Yes. That's the final answer. But that's what I'm going with. That's one of the widest album covers of that year. That's the cult. Besides Pump by Aerosmith. It's not that. Seeing if Edgar Winterson had a guess or not. What did he have? I am pleased to say because I'm very happy with This result, the number one album, as voted by you guys, at one point, Skid Row's self -titled debut is the self -titled debut by... Who? Whoa. Yes! Yes!
Released May 11th. Released tomorrow. In 1989, recorded October 88 through January 89, recorded at one -on -one studios, Los Angeles and the record plant in New York City. Thankfully, it is listed as blues rock and hard rock, and no one decided to throw glam metal in there. 49 minutes, 33 seconds. Label was Titanium Atlantic. Producers, Paul O 'Neill. And Badlands, the single was, as you guys heard there, Eric Singer with Dreams in the Dark with the B -side being Hard
Driver. The Edgar Winters song. Dan, Badlands. All I could – when I think of Badlands, it's controversy as it's not available and it's banned now. Something happened. Something happened. We unfortunately had a lead singer who willfully infected people with AIDS. And as part of the settlement is that these albums can not be re -released. Rock Candy or somebody along those
lines was going to re -release it. And when it was about to be re -released, it was pulled from the shelves because of... A court order because settlement with the families was that neither of these two albums could be re -released. I am ignorant to the situation and really – I don't know. Don't judge. I don't know. And I have the original. I listened to it. It wouldn't be my number one. It's good. It sounds great. It's not all that. Yeah, I'm with you on this, Dan.
I mean, when the album came out, I was like, yeah, this is pretty cool, but it's kind of... I like the second album better, but that's me. But I still think this is just a great, great album performance -wise. I mean, Jakey Lee was just tearing it up. Say what you want about Ray and his escapades. He was an incredible vocalist. I mean, really, really just unbelievable how good he was. So, and I got to say the bass playing
on these Badlands albums is just fantastic. I mean, it's good old, good old just jamming out and not just following the guitar player. And Greg Chaison or whatever his name is. Chaison. Yep. Chaison. Yeah, he does a great job. It's a good sounding album. But it didn't fit into any of the niche of this year either. I mean, there was not a single band doing what these guys were doing. These guys absolutely did not
chase what was going on at the time. No ballad that would fit into any of these other albums. So I got to give them credit for that. They did their own thing, probably paid a price commercially for it. I don't know that they ever really headlined any decent shows or anything like that. But I never got to see them. Dan, you ever get to see them? If I did, I don't recall it. It's not in my memory. Wow. Okay. Yeah. I would have loved to have seen them. But anyway, I think it's a
great album. I was, I got to say it was number two on my list. So there you go. Anyone else? Badlands? Oh, and if you want to hear it, if you don't, can't buy it, can't stream it, you can hear it on yardmetal .com. So I have a question. Go ahead. So I didn't hear this album until probably the last 10 to 20 years. If I even did hear some of it, I don't know how I did because, as you said, it's not available to buy or stream. But this is more like a bluesy hard rock band, correct?
Yes, correct. And so what were Jake's solos like on this album compared to what he did in Ozzy? His tone is just incredibly raw, just like guitar plugged straight into the amp and just burning. I mean, he's just blistering. In fact, everybody, the drums, Eric Singer's playing drums on this one. Yeah, everything is just, these guys are just rocking and just playing. It's kind of like good old humble pie kind of thing where the guys are just really putting their soul into every
note of the song. Are his solos more like a bluesy rock -based solo and less shredding, I would think, with the music? Yeah, but they're still shredding. Yeah, tone -wise, it's nothing like what he did with Austin. But, I mean, you're crossing, like, Jake's fiery solos with, and I don't want to say a Stevie Ray Vaughan sound because it isn't as clean as Stevie. But there's still a lot of like fire and oomph to it. This was my number one. I have no problem admitting
it. I absolutely love this album. I like the second album more, but I think this is a masterpiece because you listen to Jake soloing with Eric's playing and with Greg Chason's bass playing behind it. They're going in completely different directions, and it all works. Like, Greg Chason isn't doubling Jake. Greg Chason playing walking bass, he's doing a lot of different, like, complicated patterns. And he's got his own bass tone, too. Johan, you got this album? No, I haven't. I only have heard...
one or two songs of it. So I can't really comment on that. Yeah. Yeah. As a, yeah, as a bass player, you'd have to, you'd have to love this stuff. The guy's great tone and a great playing. And it's just, yeah. I'm kind of, I'm kind of now making, I want to make this my number one, Victor. Too late. Too late. We all made it number one. There you go. Your number two is still factored in there. Yeah. And you got number one without really any commercial success. I don't know how
much this sold. Probably didn't go platinum, did it? I think it went gold. I think the album did go gold. Yeah. Yeah. So for an album to not sell much, not be available now to the world, other than on Yard Metal, and it made number one with our group. That's pretty impressive. No, I agree with that. And that's why, to me, I was happy that this ended up as number one. Because I wasn't expecting it at all, even though I had personally voted it number one. I said,
there's no way. Like I said, I thought Motley Crue's Dr. Feelgood, because of its popularity, was going to be a runaway number one. I said, there's no way. And as I'm tallying things up, I'm like, shit, a lot of the top 10 is a lot of things that I voted for. So for the first time, there's a lot of stuff in here that I really enjoy. I mean, honestly, outside of three albums that didn't make my top ten, the rest are kind
of in there. Yeah, I'm kind of amazed that the Kiss album ranked up there with the – I mean, I thought Ace's album was actually a lot better than the Kiss album. I agree with that as well. I think to me, Trouble Walking is Ace's strongest solo album. That's exactly what I was going to say. Hot in the Shade is hot in the shit. I mean, it's one of their worst albums, but it just shows the popularity of the brand and the logo. I mean, the album is just a bunch of demos. It's, you
know, it's got. a ton of ghost players and drum machines on it. And they recorded in the same studio that appetite for destruction was recorded in just to see if they could get their own appetite out of there. I mean, it's just the whole ridiculousness of them chasing fads and trying to be popular. So, yeah. Hey, I got to throw one out there for Dan. Dan, did Lord Tracy meet your top 10? I love Lord Tracy. I still listen to them today.
They didn't make my top ten. But let me tell you, Lords of Babylon, they toured with Ace and they broke in the U .S. because of that, in my opinion. And they have live album on streaming and I listen to it. I still want to see them now. I saw them back then, and I want to see them today. They still hold up, and I miss them. The singer is amazing. The bass player is amazing.
What a band. Let's go to Texas because that's where they play, and I'm probably going to have to get on a plane when they finally do it again because they've done it like two years ago, I want to say. They put a show together, and it's like, I got to go. One of these times, I got to make the effort. I'll meet you there. Johan, you ever heard of Lord Tracy? No. That's a fun album. Never heard of him. Jeremy, Lord Tracy, for those that don't know, features Terry Glaze,
the original lead singer of Pantera. Yeah, so that's the – I have that album in my collection. Yeah, and Phil does it better. But, yeah, that's how he broke it. Screw that. Lord Tracy, he's got a great thing in that band. There's enough albums. I wish they made more. That album, that Lord, not that. Yes. Lord Tracy is on the list. People voted for that album. That's a perfect album. I missed it, Brad. I missed it. I screwed
up. That's all right. So I'm going to challenge everybody here who hasn't listened to this album, Deaf Gods of Babylon. Listen to it. I mean, it covers a lot of territory there. They kind of remind me of what some an old Swedish band would do. They kind of trying to spread the music around to touch all different kinds of areas rather than just every song is kind of the same. But it's all good. It's it's a really, really good, solid album. Deaf Gods of Babylon, Lord Tracy.
They're a tight playing band. But they like to screw around and play, kind of like what Metallica does, and they don't take themselves so seriously. Not at all. And that background squeal thing, that ooh -ah thing, I can't do it, is, yeah, damn, it's so good. I've listened to it over and over, and I haven't really gotten tired of it, that live thing. Okay. There you go. There you go. Edgar, if you're still there, listen to that album, Deaf Gods of Babylon. I could
listen to it. I would geek out with you on that album. That's amazing. We'd have a good time talking about that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I love that album. Okay. Why did we hijack this, didn't we? Number one, I fucked up. That guy, Nick, missed kicks that one year. Yeah. See that? You're kicking yourself about that, huh? Yeah. All right, cool. So I do want to thank everyone who voted for this 1989 special. Like I said, great turnout. Great turnout of the list. A lot of good music
came out this year. The full list will be posted up on signalsfrommars .com when the podcast audio version is released so you guys can see where your picks ended up. A lot of great music. But there you go, Brad trying to do his D .O. with the lasers. In any event, again, thank you guys for listening. Thank you guys for watching live, those of you that have. And thank you, Metal Dan, Johan, Ed, Jeremy, and Brad for being here
tonight. And Edgar Winterson in the chat. We will see you guys next time right here on Signals from Mars. See you, folks.
