00:00:00.000 guitar riffs of the 80's
00:00:02.560 and try to get Michael Wright on the air
00:00:04.500 he wrote the list, how do you come up with these
00:00:06.280 there's so much great stuff Mark
00:00:07.860 there's so much stuff and there's so many that are not on
00:00:10.780 yeah I know
00:00:12.040 so we'll try to get him on the air with us
00:00:14.680 next week, he was really busy this week
00:00:16.340 number four, Scorpions
00:00:18.540 Rock You Like a Hurricane
00:00:20.080 simple isn't it, real simple
00:00:30.840 it hooks you real quick
00:00:32.220 Ozzy Osbourne, one of the
00:00:33.960 one of those great guys, Randy Rose
00:00:36.920 died in a very bizarre accident
00:00:38.500 it's a crazy train
00:00:50.080 yeah
00:00:52.740 that's great stuff
00:00:54.400 Rolling Stones, Start Me Up
00:00:55.800 and I think Keith Richards, I call him Keith Riffard
00:00:58.360 good old Keith
00:00:59.460 he comes up with those simple riffs
00:01:02.240 this is like two chords
00:01:03.880 Start Me Up, two, maybe three chords
00:01:05.900 that's how he remembers them
00:01:07.320 there's only a couple
00:01:08.560 he knew later on there'd be lots of damage
00:01:12.520 so he's got to keep it simple
00:01:13.620 so Start Me Up
00:01:14.860 I remember when I first met you
00:01:31.480 I took lessons from you
00:01:33.000 and I said, what kind of music do you like?
00:01:34.260 you said, I like stuff that has a good melody
00:01:36.260 all these songs have good melodies
00:01:37.900 the very first one on the list
00:01:40.380 number one
00:01:41.040 is, first of all, a great guitarist
00:01:43.740 but also a group that at the time
00:01:46.360 was sort of heavy metal
00:01:47.460 nowadays they just seem like good rock and roll
00:01:49.020 but wrote good melodies as well
00:01:50.520 number one is Back in Black by ACDC
00:01:53.340 Sing it, John
00:02:09.280 Sing it, come on, buddy
00:02:12.880 Ba-dum-ba
00:02:14.620 Ba-dum-ba
00:02:16.600 Ba-dum-ba
00:02:16.800 No, no, no
00:02:18.360 I can't do it
00:02:19.900 I'll break my voice this morning
00:02:21.360 you're sick
00:02:21.880 you're not doing too bad
00:02:22.780 I'm really sick now, John
00:02:23.960 So that's the top ten
00:02:24.840 and what do you think of the last friggin' list?
00:02:26.260 I think it's great
00:02:26.940 What's missing, Mark?
00:02:27.800 What's one that
00:02:28.300 Oh, where's Van Halen?
00:02:29.800 Oh, yeah
00:02:30.380 Oh, I mean, it's 80s
00:02:32.080 Yeah, no kidding
00:02:33.200 I'm a big blues fan
00:02:35.020 so Stevie Ray Vaughan's got to be on the list somewhere
00:02:37.280 Yeah, Cold Shot or something like that
00:02:38.800 Right, yeah
00:02:39.260 You know, looking back, though
00:02:40.620 I think the greatest riff writer
00:02:41.900 and maybe, you know, tell me if I'm wrong here
00:02:43.560 Jimmy Page
00:02:44.240 Hands down, man
00:02:45.540 Hands down
00:02:46.120 He did so many great riffs
00:02:47.100 I think it was great
00:02:47.660 Stuff like Black Dog
00:02:48.580 Rock and Roll
00:02:49.280 The Ocean
00:02:49.940 You know, just on and on
00:02:52.760 I mean, he wrote great, great riffs
00:02:54.340 Great having you in here
00:02:55.860 You got a new
00:02:56.720 I'm really looking forward to Saturday night
00:02:58.480 You got a new thing going on
00:02:59.940 Yeah
00:03:00.120 What's happening?
00:03:00.500 I started a blues trio
00:03:02.680 Finally doing some stuff that I've always wanted to do since I was a kid
00:03:06.360 And I'm fronting it
00:03:08.040 And a good buddy of mine, Camilla Point
00:03:10.940 Kind of kicked me in the rear to get things going
00:03:13.820 And I'm playing with Mr. Jim Sharp on drums
00:03:16.560 Yeah, he called here
00:03:17.500 Yes, he did
00:03:18.280 Asked you about Smoke on the Water, best riff ever
00:03:20.320 And Mr. Bobby Tasty on Dave
00:03:24.060 So what kind of stuff are you doing?
00:03:27.080 I know from talking to you over the last couple of years
00:03:29.200 You kind of want to mix it up
00:03:30.600 You don't want to get people depressed
00:03:32.040 You want to have some fun with it
00:03:32.920 Definitely
00:03:33.200 I find when I go see blues bands
00:03:35.200 You hear that same kind of feel throughout the evening
00:03:38.520 And after about three or four songs
00:03:39.960 You get kind of complacent with it
00:03:41.300 So we definitely want to change up the feels throughout the evening
00:03:44.180 It's not just blues
00:03:46.020 I even kind of refrain from calling it blues
00:03:49.820 So where's the show with Tom?
00:03:52.820 It's at Lola's
00:03:54.860 It's at 9 o'clock on Saturday night
00:03:56.980 I'll be there
00:03:57.420 I'm looking forward to it
00:03:58.480 What kind of stuff are you going to be playing?
00:04:01.100 Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan
00:04:02.860 Yeah, tons of stuff
00:04:04.460 Guitar player music
00:04:05.780 Jamie and I wanted to sing along
00:04:08.000 I wondered if you could play a little bit of
00:04:09.300 Mary Had a Little Lamb by Stevie Ray
00:04:11.580 We'd get in on this, couldn't we, Jamie?
00:04:13.480 Oh, for sure
00:04:13.960 Let me get my tambourine
00:04:15.000 No, I don't have one
00:04:22.820 Take me home, Johnny, take me home
00:04:36.740 Cause Mary had a little lamb
00:04:41.400 It seemed white and snow, yeah
00:04:45.200 And everywhere the dial went
00:04:48.900 The man was sure to go for
00:04:52.700 He followed her to prove
00:04:56.280 Mark, thanks very much for coming in
00:05:11.320 It's a really great time
00:05:12.740 We'll see you on Saturday night
00:05:14.020 That's at Lola's at 9 o'clock
00:05:15.160 Should be a lot of fun
00:05:16.040 And I'm looking forward to
00:05:17.320 Seeing Mark on stage
00:05:18.680 We've been talking about this for a long time
00:05:19.980 It's going to be lots and lots of fun
