Alice Cooper tells a story of going out to dinner with Cher and Gregg Allman not long after they got married. They were chatting when Gregg faceplanted unconscious into his meal. Cher grabbed the back of his head, pulled him up and said "Isn't he great!"
Alice Cooper, Gregg Allman and Cher all at the same table... I think if Barry White had shown up the four pillars of seventies music would have been complete and it would have formed the Orb of Time.
@@patoren3gou653 He once said that maybe 10% of what you hear about him is true, whereas everything you've ever heard about Keith Moon is true and you've only heard 10% of it.
@@zombiedodge1426 I'll buy that. My favorite Keith Moon story is from when he was inducted into the Playboy Music Hall of Fame in 1979. He once nailed everything in his hotel room to the ceiling. Another one I read elsewhere, about 20 years ago: Pete and Keith were settling into their hotel rooms. In Keith's room, they were about to throw the TV into the pool, two stories below, as usual. Then Keith said "You know, throwing the telly into the pool is fun, but what if we threw one that was turned on?" So they looked at the pool and estimated how many feet it was from the bottom to the window, and from the window to the nearest outlet. Then they got in their limo and went to a hardware store, where they bought extension cords. They plugged one into the wall and connected them, coiling them on the floor by the window like British Navy deck ropes so they'd unroll. Then they plugged in the TV, turned it on, yelled at everyone "Get out of the pool, please", and threw the TV into the pool, where it exploded. They looked at each other and smiled, and Pete said "Fuckin brilliant, mate!"
My mom is a huge Cher fan and both my parents are both huge Allman Bros. fans. I've never heard them mentioned that they were married or this album happened. I think that says a lot.
My dad is a MASSIVE fan of the Allman Brothers and actually loves Cher- though I think it's a respect more for her longevity and fortitude. Either way, we talk music all the time and he has NEVER mentioned this connection between the 2.
Honestly, being a “boring” couple to me seems like the best thing you can hope for when your a celebrity that’s dating another celebrity. The public doesn’t care, so to a certain extent your personal business gets to stay fucking personal.
I never could conceptualize the exact equivalent song to it, just an array of similar ones. Until today. Move Me is clearly what they were going for whether they knew it or not.
I just know that there are hoards of people requesting One Hit Wonderlands for bands and artists that weren't one-hit wonders to begin with like Smash Mouth and C+C Music Factory
There are two things that keep me coming back to this video: 1. The phrase “enough junk coursing through him to kill a sperm whale”. 2. Cher’s wild outfits. You can say whatever you want about her singing on this album, but nobody had style like Cher.
1. I always end up binging Todd's whole catalogue when he releases something new. I can freely quote from so many of these videos & yet I find something new, some genius edit or turn of phrase, every time. 2. omg so --- I used to work in a high end toy store. Lots of collectibles. We had clients we brought in the luxe Barbies for, some were hundreds of dollars. "Cher Barbie" wearing exclusive Bob Mackie designs were among the expensive Barbies we carried. If you want to see Cher in doll form in crazy outfits, look up the images from the Cher Barbies collection.
The more you think about it, the most stunningly misogynistic it becomes. "I'm ALL man... and her? She's just the Woo man. I'm the awesome one here, she's here to be that lady and bring the lady things to it."
Over the years most of us have probably heard some random or quirky phrase and said "that'll be my band name". Until today it had never occurred to me that there would be a counterpart of a phrase that nobody in their right mind would use as a band name. I guess every yin must have its yang, though...
“It’s better than having a kid to try and save the marriage” thing is they did try that, and said kid went on to front a goth industrial band called Deadsy
Deadsy was a pretty decent band, very creative, but I think they got lumped in with the nu- metal crew. They were on Family Values Tour after all. The singer, Elijah Blue Allman, actually covered Crimson and Clover with Cher.
The factoid about how Cher has nine of the biggest flops of all time implies that she _came back_ from at least eight of those. Move over Achilles, Superman, and all others who play at being indestructible. This woman is on another level.
Two of them were Sonny and Cher, one of which was a career ender for them. Additionally, one of the seven Cher solo albums was a followup to another entry that had been lower on the list. However that still means she came back from SIX of those
If you got money or contracts or sponsors to keep you in game, who cares about albums quality? Cher to me is like Maroon5 for Todd: always there for inertia, never convincing, never infuriating.
Like the Family Guy skit - “Greg Allman, what did you do when life got you down?” “Me? I took a lot of drugs, married some broad named Cher. I won’t recommend either of them.”
Cher was really just getting started here. It’s wild to think that her WHOLE film career came after this, including an Oscar. You can never count her out.
Her seventies were wild because she had number 1 songs for the first half of the decade and despite great material (the two albums before this one), her music stalled...until a slight uptick with a disco comeback.
Doesn't help that putting a brain cell or two forward that the songs opening lyrics are "I DON'T LIKE YOU, I DON'T WANT YOU" comes off poorly like Todd pointed out.
@@mccperin Not me; that's for sure. Damn... guess my all shower covers were for nothing after all, dude. Now who's gonna release all these shower cover albums?!?
Cher and Gregg actually had a lot of parallels to A Star is Born Gregg is the struggling addict rocker and Cher is the vibrant Starlet who thinks she can save him and both ultimately cant
Except Gaga and Bradley are both great singers, attractive, got great chemistry and charismatic while Cher is left with all of that and Gregg has none. Tho, that’s just for the newer one at least
@@shawnfields2369 There have definitely been new episodes this year. A batch aired back at the start of quarantine and Jonathan Mangum hosted livestreams to celebrate. I believe there's been more since then but I'm uncertain of the details. As for the unlikely duets, it's the new gimmick for 'Greatest Hits'. Memorable pairs include "Neil Diamond and Kanye West" and "Lil Wayne and Pavarotti".
@@SarahElisabethJoyal Wow, that's great to hear. Glad there's new episodes of "Whose Line". Great show. I wasn't that interested in the show as a kid, I thought it wasn't that funny, until I saw a few episodes, and I liked how funny it was. I'd definitely like to see how unlikely the pairs get. I'm sure Lil Wayne had collaborated with literally everyone. He was doing collabs with both Conan o'Brien, and Tony Hawk himself, all to promote Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5, a terrible game. I think hearing "Lil Wayne and Pavarotti" sounds hilarious. And "Neil Diamond and Kanye West" sounds hilarious too. What's next, "Eminem and Cher"? Or maybe... "Eminem and David Hasselhoff"? Or even, "Eminem and the Beach Boys"? Sorry, Eminem's my favorite rapper. Thanks for the extra info, ma'am.
Always watching it will be called QVANTVM ENt4ng⛓ement and will be entirely about the plot of Neuromancer where two AIs fuse together. It will be as pretentious as possible and they will claim it came from their own genius when in fact it came from her taking peyote and him throwing money at whatever will make people talk about him
Yeeeaaars ago, while I was in my mid teens, I met their son after a Deadsy show. He's actually an incredibly kind dude and even offered to hang out with my friend and I so we weren't alone while we were waiting for my mom to pick us up. Good dude.
Hey, me too! Weird story about that... after the show there was radio station party where we met then, and he went back with us to my friend's apartment to see some of her reptiles and have coffee and chat. Later, I stood with him outside while he waited to be picked up and he asked how long my friend and I had been dating. I explained we'd known each other for years and she was a lesbian, and he replied "Really? That's good then," almost like he was a touch skeptical but didn't care either way. I told her about it when I went back up and we had a chuckle. 18 years later, she and I have been married for 16 years, and together for almost 17. It seemed inconceivable at the time, but I sometimes wonder if that innocent aside planted the seed.
I did it! I finally got a playlist together for Trainwreckord Survivors! These are the songs Todd liked from his Trainwreckord episodes. 1. 2 Find U - Jewel (0304) 2. Heavy Metal Poisoning - Styx (Kilroy was Here) 3. Pumps and a Bump - MC Hammer (The Funky Headhunter) 4. My Big Mouth - Oasis (Be Here Now) 5. Fire in the Hole - Van Halen (Van Halen III) 6. Someday Never Comes - Creedence Clearwater Revival (Mardi Gras) 7. Shock to the System - Billy Idol (Cyberpunk) 8. The Opposite of Me - Robin Thicke (Paula) 9. This is England - The Clash (Cut the Crap) 10. Hot Fun in the Summertime - The Beach Boys (Summer in Paradise) 11. Ease My Mind - Arrested Development (Zingalamaduni) 12. Do what You gotta Do - Allman and Woman (Two the Hard Way) Do you think I did a good job picking out this playlist?
Excellent playlist you got there, and very accurate to boot. However, I can't help but observe that you found NOTHING salvageable in Lauryn Hill's Unplugged 2.0. Nothing wrong with that, mind you. I found nothing there either.
@@TheAndradeCS Not true, he did say "Fire in the Hole" was the best song on the album, but it was the equivalent to a "second tier Sammy song or a fourth tier David Lee Roth song". But I don't think he liked anything from Summer in Paradise, he even said the Beach Boys version of Hot Fun in the Summertime wasn't that good, but comparing it to the rest of the album... yeah.
"This record is the equivalent of having a baby to save the marriage. It's not going to save the marriage and it fucks up the baby." ...They did that too. Gregg was literally going to leave Cher, but then she got pregnant with their son, Elijah. On one hand, Elijah did grow up to lead the band Deadsy, which is pretty cool and he is apparently a pretty nice person. On the other, he had severe abandonment issues that ultimately led to heroin addiction. So....
These clips of Cher and Gregg Allman together feel like watching two aliens from different planets struggling to communicate while also both pretending to be humans. There's truly something otherworldly about how awkward they are
As much as it is fun to rag on a really shity album, both Gregg Allman and Cher had been through some fucking shit in their lives. For all of their faults, it's nice to see that they both separately ultimately had something resembling a happy ending and rekindled their individual successes in later years. With Gregg Allman's final incarnation of the Allman Brothers being pretty damn decent and well-received by fans before he tragically passed away in 2017 and Cher being the Mega rich and successful goddamn force of nature that she is today. I'm happy for both of them, but God damn they were terrible on this album.
You bringing up Elvis made me realize how much I want you to cover Elvis' career slump in the 60s. Maybe, it's not quite Trainwreckords material, but maybe a Cinemadonna style marathon of his movies?
I think he might not want to do the Elvis movies, given that others have suggested he cover them, but it could be a good idea. I also heard that there was a bootleg record called "Elvis's Greatest Sh*t" of his worst performances.
That's a good idea on paper, but would be terrible in execution. Elvis's movies of course are turds across the board, but they're also really repetitive and tend to blend into each other. At least with Madonna's filmography, there's a variety of things to talk about. Todd would probably give up before he gets to "Elvis Beach Movie #8."
Cheer on their relationship and record: "Well we had a good time while it lasted, but in the end it just wasn't meant to be." Gregg on their relationship and record: "Boy was that an embarrassing phase of my life, glad it's over!"
How weird is it I know they were a couple from A Family Guy joke? Peter asks his Allman Brothers poster "Gregg, what did you do when life got you down?" And Greg pops out of it and answers, "Me? I did a lot of drugs, married a chick named Cher, and I don't recommend either one."
@@HiGlowie She's definitely "manufactured", but I never saw her as being phony outside of her aesthetic and music. She seems like the physical embodiment of a pop star to me.
I’ve seen Cher in person from across a Borders bookstore. She was doing a book signing or album signing or something, probably for Believe. The line was unbelievable. So my best friend and younger brother and I went over to the children’s section and stood on chairs to get a view of her from afar. She. Was. Radiant. A goddess. She glowed from across the room, sitting on a throne on a dais, floating above everyone like the queen she is. It was an entrancing experience for teenage me.
@@HiGlowie “Calm down”? Why would you just casually shit all over someone’s subjective opinion describing a special memory from their youth about seeing a cultural icon in person? You wanna go ahead and tell me my husband’s not handsome while you’re at it? Just such a stupid approach to comments, I don’t get why people act like that.
@@MegCazalet because that's a frightening view to have of a person. she's not a glowing goddess, and that makes you sound deluded. it's the sort of thing people say about Donald Trump, and it's scary to people who aren't in the cult. your husband may be very handsome, but he's not a god either. that's the problem people have with what you said, likening a celebrity to god.
@@perfectallycromulent Do any of you know that “goddess” can just mean she looked powerful, confident, and beautiful? I’m not saying she’s literally a DEITY to be worshipped. You sound deluded to react that way over a word like that. To my young teen eyes it was a very memorable moment. FFS.
Cher's career is still after 50 years legitimately alive and something people care about, and Scooby-Doo is doing celebrity crossovers again with Guess Who?. And in fact Cher is the only non-fictional, still alive celebrity from the original Scooby-Doo crossovers that still has a high profile career. I mean, the Today Show ain't asking Dick van Dyke how he's surviving the 'Rona, but they definitely asked Cher. She should totally crossover with Scooby again, that'd be so cool! I mean, if she’s willing to sing with Beavis and Butt-Head, she should be down for Scooby again.
Cher isn't a bad singer but her tone isn't for everyone. Her voice is so distinct she needs big or voices with a lot of personality to keep up. I don't know Greg's voice that well, but she over powers his voice when they sing together. His voice seems to be too soft and light to even be heard when they sing.
Yeah. But I think that’s why some people like her voice. She’s not like Linda Ronstadt or Tina Turner and has the big range to go for multiple genres. She’s not everyone’s singer, just a singer who kind of sounds real I guess you can say
@@DBEO23 I like her voice. It's a bit a masculine and deep. It's not what's expected in pop music. Plus she has her harsh vibrato. All those things come together to make her iconic. Not an exact comparison, but Ethel merman, Pattie lupone, and Bernadette petters are all iconic, but have extremely unique voices. The more unique the voice, the more people will be polarized on it.
@@raaid22 Same. I like her voice quite a lot, just not most the singing. I find her exaggerating or trying too much most of the time. But she has a very interesting timbre, that's for sure.
@@SonofMrPeanut Weird comparison, I kinda see it, but I also don't. Honestly, I find Nico better than Cher in almost any category voice-wise, not counting songwriting/career.
"I would make sure this album didn't exist" I never knew this existed until now. I never knew Allman and Cher were a thing. That's how bad this was, time has erased a marriage!
"This album feels a lot like having a baby to save the marriage. It's bad for the both of you and it fucks up the baby." Considering they did have a baby the year before this album dropped, I will consider this album the unintentional musical expression of exactly how that went for them: terribly, no matter how much they pretended to still be happy together.
For the record, I don't think Cher is a BAD singer per se, she just has a very unusual alto voice. There's a difference between having a clean voice for pop music and having a more unique style of singing. I have to put up with dumb poptimist friends accusing singers of other genres of not being able to sing. She might not have an eight-octave range but she can hold a tune at least.
@Rudy Overlord Which might mean something if most people were even vaguely aware that he'd done anything in the decades since he left Chicago. (The band, not the city.)
yeah kinda the way that some ppl may be turned off from artists like bjork or kate bush. they aren't bad singers, they just have a unique vocal quality/delivery that they prioritise over ability
berkeley is online Bjork has a gorgeous singing voice imo... it sounds like an intergalactic fae goddess is screaming into my ear, much akin to another one of her contemporaries, Kate Bush... or Grimes....

Little side note : it's sad but at the same time a bit funny that all the stable-but-non-interesting couples mentioned by Tood have now split up 😅 love this show btw
Fun fact: I nearly ended up with this album, and on vinyl, no less. My hairdresser learned that I had a budding vinyl collection, and decided to give away some of her old records. While I did see both Boston's and Dire Straits' self-titled debut albums in there, hidden behind a Seals and Crofts greatest hits was Allman and Woman. I had legit no idea that Cher and Gregg Allman made an album, much less that they were married for a time. I asked her about it, and she said that it was one of those couples that you only heard about through the rancid drama surrounding them. They didn't have good chemistry, or for that matter any outward enjoyment of each other's presence. Here's the kicker: She seemed sad to hear that I wasn't taking A&W off her hands. A woman who lives and breathes 70s-80s cheesy pop rock, to the point that she was actually shocked and offended that I had never heard of Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show before, thought it was better to give away that album instead of it ultimately ending up in the dump. That should tell you everything you need to know about this record.
@@Scorpia161 He's always been more deliberate about which relevant film/TV clips he uses than certain other creators who just do it for pop culture knowledge flexing.
I have no idea who some people on trainwreckords even are but Todd makes the topics interesting enough for me to watch anyway Edit: I know who Cher is lol. I just clicked on the video and didn’t pay attention to the title.
One Hit Wonderland is the one that always gets me! I had never heard of songs like "fire", but, somehow, a 20 minute video about it seemed somehow too short lol! Genius :)!
11:57 I curse you for making me think of this: Cher: “Honey! It’s time for our 4 pm album recording!” Gregg Allman: *yes honey...* Also I love how even when you get big enough for sponsors to notice you, your ads aren’t blown out or anything. Just Todd’s base voice, little jokes, and his iconic slideshow editing. Never change, man. (Well if you do, change for the better, but your call ;])
I don't usually call out spelling errors, but a "base voice" would be a voice that is foul and depraved. Reading your comment that way makes it funnier.
No matter how hard I try, I'll never NOT hear "You Really Got a Hold on Me" without immediately visualizing Smokey Robinson trying to escape the clutches of a VERY creepy Muppet letter U. And frankly, that's an apt metaphor for this couple.
That time a children's show populated by demented puppets interpreted your breakup song more accurately than two professional singers who were actually married. To each other.
@@edwardphilibin3151 "Understanding begins with U/So lend me a hand and say 'Toodle-oo'..." Smokey Robinson was a champ for committing wholeheartedly to the parody.
Between her super-long hair (which I'm sure some is fake but some has to be real) and his pretty long for a guy hair, how much money do you think the Greg and Cher Allman household spent on hair product while they were together? I theorize that it possibly exceeded the military expenditures of some small countries like Luxembourg.
I can guarantee their carpets were covered in hair, even a day after hoovering! I have long hair and my boyfriend does now as well (just below shoulder length, he hasn't had a haircut since before the pandemic). It feels like the second I hoover, more hair appears wherever I look. I don't get where it's coming from as neither of us are balding but jfc. Anyway, probably spent a good portion of their budget on haircare products I reckon! Well, if celebs like that even budget.
@@2-d_in_a_bag you guys are making me feel better about myself cause I've just grown my hair out and I've been shedding a lot, and i keep worrying that im balding
It really is saying something that Cher and Nic Cage had more chemistry together in Moonstruck than Cher and her then husband had when making Two the Hard Way
I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton as a couple. It's like going to your high school reunion and discovering that the cool rebellious punk girl somehow ended up with the football team's backup quarterback who's really let himself go.
She's too good for him, i know thats mean but nobody is gonna say it so... and if they get married and have kids she gonna take like 10 years to make a fucking album. *sweats in gay*
I really don't get what the problem is, why can't people just leave them alone and stop judging. So far, everybody I've seen who hates Blake and Gwen together is people who think He's ugly, which is just incredibly shallow and stupid to me.
Gregg Allman’s book title seems like a first line to some lyrics he wrote one day... My cross to bear, Her name was Cher, We made an album, I never pretended to care.
Todd mentions this album would've done better if it leaned more into Cher and Gregg's marriage collapsing and their sadness and I agree with him, especially since I do find it funny that an album about love and a happy marriage was rejected by the public the same year that Fleetwood Mac put out Rumours, an album about marriage and romances completely falling apart which is now considered one of the best albums ever made.
You ain't a superstar until you either solve a mystery with Scooby-Doo, interact with the Muppets (including Sesame Street), or Weird Al makes fun of you
the one trainwreckords i'd like to see is 'carasmatic' by irene cara. she went from being a breakout 80s pop act with six top 40 singles to a legal mess of an album that ended her singing career for over twenty years.
too many producers on the album, including John Farrar, the man behind Olivia Newton-John. When there's no cohesive sound behind an album, it can go off the rails pretty quickly.
@@christoddur That's because the executives want the artists to chase different audiences at once. Appetite For Destruction is an album that had one direction and stuck to it.
It helps that he is not insulting them but the idea of them producing art together. They are two great tastes that just do not go together like ketchup and peanut butter.
I'm amazed that Todd never mentioned Deadsy/Elijah Blue once during this episode. That's how I keep reminding myself that Cher and Gregg Allman were a thing - that their son was the "Key to Gramercy Park" dude.
It’s super weird that they keep introducing each other as “good friends”. You’re married. Everyone knows you’re married. Why are you not opening with “this is my wife/husband”? Are you trying to convince each other that you still like each other?
Possibly, but honestly, when I (as a dude in his younger thirties with an older mother, with heavy influence from my grandmother growing up) think of the humor and sensibilities of that generation -- the "joke" is underplaying your relationship/skills. They're speaking to, assumedly, a crowd that is aware of their marriage, and the "joke" is that "oh, we're friends!". It'd be like saying, "this guy knows a thing or two about basketball, it's Lebron James!" or "This person has dabbled in writing, it's George RR Martin!"
@@ZJP Except saying that Martin has only dabbled in writing is pretty accurate. Can we start referring to him as "Pro Football Blogger, George RR Martin" yet?
I believe those were introduction clips from her tv show ("Cher" 1975-76) not from promo for this album (1977), so there's two options: she may have introduced most guests that way and it was just standard. Or, it was part of the program from before they were officially married- the show began in February; her divorce from sonny was finalized and she married Gregg on June 30.
@@Belgand Just because he hasn't written the book you wanted doesn't mean he hasn't written. Heck, he's written a lot _in_ Westeros since 2011, just not the next book.
Refreshing to know that 70's music sucked as much as it rocked. Hey Todd, have you considered covering more music-related movies? Would be a nice way to fill the Cinemadonna-shaped hole in our hearts.
I was going through a project of listening to every Billboard Hot 100 #1 from 1960 to the present and I had to stop when I hit the early '70s. It was always a bit spotty, but that was just a miserable era where soft rock and saccharine easy listening pop took over almost completely. There was a ton of great rock happening, but it wasn't the forefront of the culture. It was actually kind of fascinating to watch how rapidly things began to splinter more and more into specific niches.
@@Belgand it was at the forefront of culture. Just not really on the pop charts. Look at the Billboard 200. Rock music dominated the album chart in the late 60s and all of the 70s, since FM radio became a thing
Cher will have outlived us and have more comebacks than humanity. Well all have nuked our selves and she’ll have her 97th comeback and that’ll give humanity its 48th Cher aided human comeback
"Gregg Allman, what did you do when life got you down?" "Me? I did a lot of drugs, married some broad named Cher, and I wouldn't recommend either one of 'em."
i still think back to the time i was in macon for gregg allman's funeral procession. it was sad seeing people worry more about trying to take pictures of cher in a tinted limo than recall the memories of listening to the allman brothers. it was exhausting...
Ugh, are people serious? That's so disgusting. People were there to mourn him, including Cher, and there were idiots there taking pictures and shit? Wow.
I continue to think Trainwreckords is your absolute best work. I get more excited by you uploading a Trainwreckords than anything else, I must have watched all of them a hundred times.
Every look on Gregg's face showcases disgust, and I can clearly see why. This might rank up there with Duane dying as the worst thing to happen to his career.
I hope one day you will make a series about landmark albums, kinda like the opposite of trainwreckord. I would love to hear you talk about "good" bands because there is no way some of those bands will ever make any of your series sadly
Well, remember that he started OHW because he felt that the good bands were already getting way too much coverage and that someone had to reveal the stories of the other artists. Trainwreckords kinda falls in the same vein - a piece of art that not a lot of people talk about. That's not to say I wouldn't mind hearing more about bands I like from him also, but I'm not sure it would fit his mission.
I mean, that kinda defeats the point of Todd's channel, because every single other music outlet and music reviewer does that, unlike Todd, that sifts through the obscure trash.
@@RDV333 in that case could you recommend some other music channels on youtube? most of them I find are devoid of any personality I am already subscribed to spectrum pulse and double agent and buckley, they are main music channels I watch and would love some more
I guess "hot" to other guys? I mean, some of those pictures have him looking like the coolest dude in the room... and a lot of girls are into dad bods, which makes no sense to most guys. Unless those guys have dad bods... I've backed myself into a corner. Help!
At my ten year high school reunion I swear there were around twenty guys that had that exact Gregg Allman dazed look on their faces. We didn't have to ask what they had been doing for the past ten years.
Gregg Allman, how did you handle it when life got you down? "Me? I did a lot of drugs, married some broad named Cher, and I wouldn't recommend either one of them".
As a Cher album, Two the Hard Way was a forgettable experiment in Cher's long discography As a Gregg Allman album, Two the Hard Way was the ultimate sell-out record with one good song (Shadow Dream Song) that deserves to be on a better Gregg Allman project.
I'm so happy about your sponsorship todd, you have been doing so good, and trying so hard for so long, making incredible videos. Hopefully one day you will be the first thing people think of when "best quality youtubers" come to mind....
I just learned of his brother yesterday and what a guitarist he was. None of this would've happened if a truck wouldn't have suddenly stopped in front of Duane Allmans Harley-Davidson.
Whenever a couple releases an album about how much they're in love, it makes me think they're really doing terribly. See: Lita Ford's Wicked Wonderland album, which she has since completely disowned.
You should do a Trainwreckords on “The Final Cut” by Pink Floyd, essentially Roger Water’s attempt at “The Wall” Part 2 but it turned into a critical flop that destroyed the band, they made some more albums afterwards but I’d argue they lost their god tier status from the legacy of “The Final Cut”.
Good call! There are people who like "The Final Cut" but you can talk about how it broke the band internally even more than it did commercially. I think its inscrutability even to Floyd fans makes it worth diving into.
Bill Slocum yeah exactly, I’ll be honest, I quite like about half of the album, however it’s not good as a Pink Floyd album in my eyes. It’s good as a Roger Waters album.
I have heard about Red jumpsuit apparatus. I have never heard a song of theirs. I heard about them through a drama they had where they posted a picture without permission and acted like dicks about it.
Todd briefly mentioned this but The Allman Brothers has two of the most eerie deaths of any band: Duane Allman died in a motorcycle crash in 1971 in Macon GA. Only 13 months later in 1972, Berry Oakley died motorcycle crash only a couple blocks away from where Duane died. They were both 24... that... is messed up! FYI, The Allman Brothers AT FILLMORE EAST is one of my favorite records of all time. And yes, "Allman and Woman" is a far cry from that.
For the next Trainwreckords on Garth Brooks in...The Life Of Chris Gaines. Essentially it was Brooks trying to pull off Bono's The Fly shtick, but failing miserably.
its the voices, dear god this is like when your obnoxious married friends get plastered and try to duet karaoke for a song that is completely out of both their ranges.
Never knew about this either. Watched so many music documentaties relevant to the era and never a mention. They both have strong fanbases, the energy of their shame must have willed it out of existence.
I love Todd's sponsorship reads. It's like there's a guy with a gun _juuuuuust_ barely off-camera ordering him to do it. And even then, he manages to do the ad in a fashion that speaks with nothing short of pure sarcasm xD .
Alice Cooper tells a story of going out to dinner with Cher and Gregg Allman not long after they got married. They were chatting when Gregg faceplanted unconscious into his meal. Cher grabbed the back of his head, pulled him up and said "Isn't he great!"

My favorite Keith Moon story is from when he was inducted into the Playboy Music Hall of Fame in 1979. He once nailed everything in his hotel room to the ceiling.
Another one I read elsewhere, about 20 years ago: Pete and Keith were settling into their hotel rooms. In Keith's room, they were about to throw the TV into the pool, two stories below, as usual. Then Keith said "You know, throwing the telly into the pool is fun, but what if we threw one that was turned on?" So they looked at the pool and estimated how many feet it was from the bottom to the window, and from the window to the nearest outlet. Then they got in their limo and went to a hardware store, where they bought extension cords. They plugged one into the wall and connected them, coiling them on the floor by the window like British Navy deck ropes so they'd unroll. Then they plugged in the TV, turned it on, yelled at everyone "Get out of the pool, please", and threw the TV into the pool, where it exploded. They looked at each other and smiled, and Pete said "Fuckin brilliant, mate!"
This album didn't kill any careers after their divorce because Cher believes in life after love
I really don't think this album is strong enough, no.

Best comment ever.
My mom is a huge Cher fan and both my parents are both huge Allman Bros. fans. I've never heard them mentioned that they were married or this album happened. I think that says a lot.
My dad is a MASSIVE fan of the Allman Brothers and actually loves Cher- though I think it's a respect more for her longevity and fortitude. Either way, we talk music all the time and he has NEVER mentioned this connection between the 2.
You know a couple isn't good when people who like the music and Cher and the music of Greg Allman don't like Cher and Allman.
I asked my mum about it. She told me, she bought the record, listened to it once and literally never again.
THEY PRODUCED A CHILD TOGETHER!
I think you are right.
Honestly, being a “boring” couple to me seems like the best thing you can hope for when your a celebrity that’s dating another celebrity. The public doesn’t care, so to a certain extent your personal business gets to stay fucking personal.
See, the problem with that is simple: Cher can't turn it off for more than 19 minutes.
So true - Sarah Michael Geller and Freddie Prince Jr have been married for over 20 years so it is possible 😉
@@aimstar11 Good for them. Glad
Hate to say it but Cher and Greg Allman sound like one of those “….but the sex is great” couples.
Judging from the album cover, it's only great if there are no mirrors in the room.
12:19 this pretty much confirms it.
not to mention covering "You Really Gotta Hold On Me" really makes it obvious lol
There is genuinely no other explaination (besides Cher's codependency issues)
@@Falxifer95 You mean 17:13
oh man "when loving lovers love" is such a deep cut
I never could conceptualize the exact equivalent song to it, just an array of similar ones. Until today. Move Me is clearly what they were going for whether they knew it or not.
Really sells it, at least compared to Malcolm McLaren’s “Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo Gals”
Are you still dating him? Not that that's any of my business, just wondering.
No. She's married and everything.
It could be the greatest love story ever written.....for the internet

Wow Todd finally got a sponsor. Either he’s really hitting it big or he’s doesn’t want to sell another round of one hit wonder requests.

Those keyboards are not gonna eat themselves
It was probably do sponsor reads or finally cover You're Beautiful.
Insert Road to El Dorado "Both" gif here.

Yeah... looks like Toddstradamus isn't limited to music anymore.
gonna ask todd to predict my failure so i don’t ever fail
Out of touch loser, what happened?
There are two things that keep me coming back to this video:
1. The phrase “enough junk coursing through him to kill a sperm whale”.
2. Cher’s wild outfits. You can say whatever you want about her singing on this album, but nobody had style like Cher.
lady gaga
She was so attractive.
Yeah, she was very attractive and had the presence (and body) to wear the hell outta those outfits
1. I always end up binging Todd's whole catalogue when he releases something new. I can freely quote from so many of these videos & yet I find something new, some genius edit or turn of phrase, every time.
2. omg so --- I used to work in a high end toy store. Lots of collectibles. We had clients we brought in the luxe Barbies for, some were hundreds of dollars. "Cher Barbie" wearing exclusive Bob Mackie designs were among the expensive Barbies we carried. If you want to see Cher in doll form in crazy outfits, look up the images from the Cher Barbies collection.
I still can't believe they were called "Allman and Woman." That's an all-time terrible band name.
Sounds more like a sitcom than a band.
And not even a particularly good sitcom either.
BenCol it would be about a man who had the experiences of all men combined into one living with Eve from the Bible in a 2-room apartment in Milwaukee.
The more you think about it, the most stunningly misogynistic it becomes. "I'm ALL man... and her? She's just the Woo man. I'm the awesome one here, she's here to be that lady and bring the lady things to it."
ᵗʰᵉNight★Star I mean it’s just a pun, but I guess it could mean that too...
Over the years most of us have probably heard some random or quirky phrase and said "that'll be my band name". Until today it had never occurred to me that there would be a counterpart of a phrase that nobody in their right mind would use as a band name. I guess every yin must have its yang, though...
“It’s better than having a kid to try and save the marriage” thing is they did try that, and said kid went on to front a goth industrial band called Deadsy
oh
You just know that makes perfect sense
They had a "Family Values Tour"... ouch :D
Deadsy was a pretty decent band, very creative, but I think they got lumped in with the nu- metal crew. They were on Family Values Tour after all. The singer, Elijah Blue Allman, actually covered Crimson and Clover with Cher.
@@scottygilmer691 And in the "If I Could Turn Back Time" video, 14-year-old Elijah is playing guitar.
The factoid about how Cher has nine of the biggest flops of all time implies that she _came back_ from at least eight of those. Move over Achilles, Superman, and all others who play at being indestructible. This woman is on another level.
So the conclusion here is that if she'd sung about how she rises from the dead all the time, it would actually check out.
Two of them were Sonny and Cher, one of which was a career ender for them. Additionally, one of the seven Cher solo albums was a followup to another entry that had been lower on the list.
However that still means she came back from SIX of those
If you got money or contracts or sponsors to keep you in game, who cares about albums quality? Cher to me is like Maroon5 for Todd: always there for inertia, never convincing, never infuriating.
@@Snarl616 Interesting point but I'd take Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves over anything Maroon5 has ever done.
@@Snarl616 maybe. But Maroon 5 aren't icons to anyone. Cher is though
Greg has more courage than most people on this show. He actually speaks more than one sentence about the album.
I think it's safe to say by that point Gregg had long since distributed his lifetime supply of giveable fucks.
🤣
Like the Family Guy skit - “Greg Allman, what did you do when life got you down?”
“Me? I took a lot of drugs, married some broad named Cher. I won’t recommend either of them.”
Cher was really just getting started here. It’s wild to think that her WHOLE film career came after this, including an Oscar. You can never count her out.
And her albums after this also did well.
Her seventies were wild because she had number 1 songs for the first half of the decade and despite great material (the two albums before this one), her music stalled...until a slight uptick with a disco comeback.
Lesson learned: What works in the shower DOES NOT work in a sound stage.
Doesn't help that putting a brain cell or two forward that the songs opening lyrics are "I DON'T LIKE YOU, I DON'T WANT YOU" comes off poorly like Todd pointed out.
Who would've guessed?

I wasn't that interested in the show as a kid, I thought it wasn't that funny, until I saw a few episodes, and I liked how funny it was. I'd definitely like to see how unlikely the pairs get. I'm sure Lil Wayne had collaborated with literally everyone. He was doing collabs with both Conan o'Brien, and Tony Hawk himself, all to promote Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5, a terrible game.

Thank christ they just made a baby instead.
Yeeeaaars ago, while I was in my mid teens, I met their son after a Deadsy show. He's actually an incredibly kind dude and even offered to hang out with my friend and I so we weren't alone while we were waiting for my mom to pick us up. Good dude.
The "Key To Gramercy Park" guys?
Forgot about them....
Sounds nice, did the son ever bring up this record?
Hey, me too! Weird story about that... after the show there was radio station party where we met then, and he went back with us to my friend's apartment to see some of her reptiles and have coffee and chat. Later, I stood with him outside while he waited to be picked up and he asked how long my friend and I had been dating. I explained we'd known each other for years and she was a lesbian, and he replied "Really? That's good then," almost like he was a touch skeptical but didn't care either way. I told her about it when I went back up and we had a chuckle.
18 years later, she and I have been married for 16 years, and together for almost 17. It seemed inconceivable at the time, but I sometimes wonder if that innocent aside planted the seed.
@@upstating Wow, that is really cool. I did not expect the ending of that story at all.

TODD SHADOW LEGENDS
I did it! I finally got a playlist together for Trainwreckord Survivors! These are the songs Todd liked from his Trainwreckord episodes.
1. 2 Find U - Jewel (0304)
2. Heavy Metal Poisoning - Styx (Kilroy was Here)
3. Pumps and a Bump - MC Hammer (The Funky Headhunter)
4. My Big Mouth - Oasis (Be Here Now)
5. Fire in the Hole - Van Halen (Van Halen III)
6. Someday Never Comes - Creedence Clearwater Revival (Mardi Gras)
7. Shock to the System - Billy Idol (Cyberpunk)
8. The Opposite of Me - Robin Thicke (Paula)
9. This is England - The Clash (Cut the Crap)
10. Hot Fun in the Summertime - The Beach Boys (Summer in Paradise)
11. Ease My Mind - Arrested Development (Zingalamaduni)
12. Do what You gotta Do - Allman and Woman (Two the Hard Way)
Do you think I did a good job picking out this playlist?
I would replace "The Opposite of Me" with that song about New York, but it's a great playlist!
Excellent playlist you got there, and very accurate to boot. However, I can't help but observe that you found NOTHING salvageable in Lauryn Hill's Unplugged 2.0. Nothing wrong with that, mind you. I found nothing there either.
He didn't liked anything from Van Halen III. He didn't even played a song from that in the Outro. That album sucks 100%.
@@TheAndradeCS Not true, he did say "Fire in the Hole" was the best song on the album, but it was the equivalent to a "second tier Sammy song or a fourth tier David Lee Roth song". But I don't think he liked anything from Summer in Paradise, he even said the Beach Boys version of Hot Fun in the Summertime wasn't that good, but comparing it to the rest of the album... yeah.
@Blackberry! You mean "Fairweather Johnson"? That's already been done.
Cher’s voice is very distinct and I can see why someone wouldn’t be into it...but I seriously wouldn’t call her a bad singer.
Her voice is weird to me, it just sounds forced.
i think it's because she's more of a belter. people tend to prefer female vocalists who sing with their head voices, rather than their chest voices.
Whenever she sang backing vocals in Phil Spector sessions he would get her to stand well back from the mic because her voice was so forceful
Stars album is PROOF that she has singing chops!
Just don’t put super early and poorly wrangled autotune over it
"This record is the equivalent of having a baby to save the marriage. It's not going to save the marriage and it fucks up the baby."
...They did that too.
Gregg was literally going to leave Cher, but then she got pregnant with their son, Elijah. On one hand, Elijah did grow up to lead the band Deadsy, which is pretty cool and he is apparently a pretty nice person. On the other, he had severe abandonment issues that ultimately led to heroin addiction. So....
And when he said that, i was glad they didn't have one or else that wouldn't have been pretty. Poor Elijah
P. Exeter Blue is Cher and Greg Allman's kid? Holy crap.
Not nearly as screwed up as Chaz lmao
Like father like son.
Deadsy is actually one of my favorite bands
That look on Greg's face he had when she introduced him was the definition of forced smile.
He looks like a baby that still tries to figure out how to smile. While also having a shit that is just slightly too hard to be comfortable.

Damn I laughed entirely too hard at that had to suppress the manly boyish titter of giggles long enough to write this reply
As much as it is fun to rag on a really shity album, both Gregg Allman and Cher had been through some fucking shit in their lives. For all of their faults, it's nice to see that they both separately ultimately had something resembling a happy ending and rekindled their individual successes in later years.
With Gregg Allman's final incarnation of the Allman Brothers being pretty damn decent and well-received by fans before he tragically passed away in 2017 and Cher being the Mega rich and successful goddamn force of nature that she is today.
I'm happy for both of them, but God damn they were terrible on this album.
You bringing up Elvis made me realize how much I want you to cover Elvis' career slump in the 60s. Maybe, it's not quite Trainwreckords material, but maybe a Cinemadonna style marathon of his movies?
YES! I WANT CINEMELVIS!
Elvis got brought back in the end of the 60's tho, didn't he? That's where his best career material came even, From Elvis in Memphis
and all.
That's why I mean it's not really trainwreckords material. But it still an interesting period with plenty of opportunity to make fun of
I think he might not want to do the Elvis movies, given that others have suggested he cover them, but it could be a good idea. I also heard that there was a bootleg record called "Elvis's Greatest Sh*t" of his worst performances.
That's a good idea on paper, but would be terrible in execution. Elvis's movies of course are turds across the board, but they're also really repetitive and tend to blend into each other. At least with Madonna's filmography, there's a variety of things to talk about. Todd would probably give up before he gets to "Elvis Beach Movie #8."
Cheer on their relationship and record: "Well we had a good time while it lasted, but in the end it just wasn't meant to be."
Gregg on their relationship and record: "Boy was that an embarrassing phase of my life, glad it's over!"
Cher seems to have more tact, but I like Greg better. Cher always seemed so manufactured and phony.
How weird is it I know they were a couple from A Family Guy joke? Peter asks his Allman Brothers poster "Gregg, what did you do when life got you down?" And Greg pops out of it and answers, "Me? I did a lot of drugs, married a chick named Cher, and I don't recommend either one."
@@HiGlowie She's definitely "manufactured", but I never saw her as being phony outside of her aesthetic and music. She seems like the physical embodiment of a pop star to me.
I’ve seen Cher in person from across a Borders bookstore. She was doing a book signing or album signing or something, probably for Believe. The line was unbelievable. So my best friend and younger brother and I went over to the children’s section and stood on chairs to get a view of her from afar. She. Was. Radiant. A goddess. She glowed from across the room, sitting on a throne on a dais, floating above everyone like the queen she is. It was an entrancing experience for teenage me.
That's exactly how I'd picture her, too
lol calm down. She’s a human like everyone else. Is she beautiful? Without a doubt. Goddess? Eh..
@@HiGlowie “Calm down”? Why would you just casually shit all over someone’s subjective opinion describing a special memory from their youth about seeing a cultural icon in person?

@@perfectallycromulent Do any of you know that “goddess” can just mean she looked powerful, confident, and beautiful? I’m not saying she’s literally a DEITY to be worshipped. You sound deluded to react that way over a word like that. To my young teen eyes it was a very memorable moment. FFS.
Cher's career is still after 50 years legitimately alive and something people care about, and Scooby-Doo is doing celebrity crossovers again with Guess Who?. And in fact Cher is the only non-fictional, still alive celebrity from the original Scooby-Doo crossovers that still has a high profile career. I mean, the Today Show ain't asking Dick van Dyke how he's surviving the 'Rona, but they definitely asked Cher. She should totally crossover with Scooby again, that'd be so cool!

I love when Todd's videos age poorly, but I didn't expect this one to do so in the first 2 minutes with the Wilde/Sudeikis couple
2 full years later and Kelly Clarkson made a "Kellyaoke" album...(might be an ep, but close enough).
Cher isn't a bad singer but her tone isn't for everyone. Her voice is so distinct she needs big or voices with a lot of personality to keep up. I don't know Greg's voice that well, but she over powers his voice when they sing together. His voice seems to be too soft and light to even be heard when they sing.
Yeah. But I think that’s why some people like her voice. She’s not like Linda Ronstadt or Tina Turner and has the big range to go for multiple genres. She’s not everyone’s singer, just a singer who kind of sounds real I guess you can say
@@DBEO23 I like her voice. It's a bit a masculine and deep. It's not what's expected in pop music. Plus she has her harsh vibrato. All those things come together to make her iconic. Not an exact comparison, but Ethel merman, Pattie lupone, and Bernadette petters are all iconic, but have extremely unique voices. The more unique the voice, the more people will be polarized on it.
@@raaid22 Same. I like her voice quite a lot, just not most the singing. I find her exaggerating or trying too much most of the time. But she has a very interesting timbre, that's for sure.
It might be fair to call her the Mainstream Nico, in that respect.
@@SonofMrPeanut Weird comparison, I kinda see it, but I also don't. Honestly, I find Nico better than Cher in almost any category voice-wise, not counting songwriting/career.
"I would make sure this album didn't exist" I never knew this existed until now. I never knew Allman and Cher were a thing. That's how bad this was, time has erased a marriage!
The irony is people HAD forgotten this and by doing the video Todd turned back time and brought it back into existence.
I had no idea this was a thing either. I am familiar with both, at least to some degree and my first thought was ".....what?"
I only knew because of a joke from Family Guy.
For a reason! Cher has a number of albums she doesn't allow on streaming services. She hates almost all of her music
"This album feels a lot like having a baby to save the marriage. It's bad for the both of you and it fucks up the baby."
Considering they did have a baby the year before this album dropped, I will consider this album the unintentional musical expression of exactly how that went for them: terribly, no matter how much they pretended to still be happy together.
they kinda make me think of those romcoms where the mediocre guy falls in love with a manic pixie dream girl
It’s like a Spanish novela then
She's so ugly though. If that's someone's dream girl, they must have grown up in a burn victims unit
@@michaelkeller5927 man stfu cher is beautiful
Manic Pixie Dream Cher is my dream gender
@@michaelkeller5927 tasteless.
For the record, I don't think Cher is a BAD singer per se, she just has a very unusual alto voice. There's a difference between having a clean voice for pop music and having a more unique style of singing. I have to put up with dumb poptimist friends accusing singers of other genres of not being able to sing. She might not have an eight-octave range but she can hold a tune at least.
@Rudy Overlord Which might mean something if most people were even vaguely aware that he'd done anything in the decades since he left Chicago. (The band, not the city.)
yeah kinda the way that some ppl may be turned off from artists like bjork or kate bush. they aren't bad singers, they just have a unique vocal quality/delivery that they prioritise over ability
berkeley is online Bjork has a gorgeous singing voice imo... it sounds like an intergalactic fae goddess is screaming into my ear, much akin to another one of her contemporaries, Kate Bush... or Grimes....
I don't think anyone related to the pop music scene has any right to accuse someone else of not being able to sing.
Cher's vocal is so deep, it's closer to bariton than soprano
Todd your presentation is so good, it makes shit we don't know anything about fascinating, and shit we DO know about fascinating.
Further proof that everyone on the internet likes Todd
I'd never heard of Arrested Development, but I love watching the Zingalamaduni video.

Little side note : it's sad but at the same time a bit funny that all the stable-but-non-interesting couples mentioned by Tood have now split up 😅

Classic Tood. Always calling the breakups.
Yeah, Toddstradamus isn't just for music anymore
Fun fact: I nearly ended up with this album, and on vinyl, no less.
My hairdresser learned that I had a budding vinyl collection, and decided to give away some of her old records. While I did see both Boston's and Dire Straits' self-titled debut albums in there, hidden behind a Seals and Crofts greatest hits was Allman and Woman.
I had legit no idea that Cher and Gregg Allman made an album, much less that they were married for a time. I asked her about it, and she said that it was one of those couples that you only heard about through the rancid drama surrounding them. They didn't have good chemistry, or for that matter any outward enjoyment of each other's presence.
Here's the kicker: She seemed sad to hear that I wasn't taking A&W off her hands. A woman who lives and breathes 70s-80s cheesy pop rock, to the point that she was actually shocked and offended that I had never heard of Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show before, thought it was better to give away that album instead of it ultimately ending up in the dump.
That should tell you everything you need to know about this record.
The Blazing Saddles joke was perfect. That’s about the hardest I’ve guffawed at a Todd joke in a while.
Seriously, as someone who started watching Todd when he was still with That Website: his humor has aged like a fine wine.
@@Scorpia161 He's always been more deliberate about which relevant film/TV clips he uses than certain other creators who just do it for pop culture knowledge flexing.
I have no idea who some people on trainwreckords even are but Todd makes the topics interesting enough for me to watch anyway
Edit: I know who Cher is lol. I just clicked on the video and didn’t pay attention to the title.
One Hit Wonderland is the one that always gets me! I had never heard of songs like "fire", but, somehow, a 20 minute video about it seemed somehow too short lol! Genius :)!
Same bro
Wow
Agreed
How do you not know who Cher is, and how do I become you
11:57 I curse you for making me think of this:
Cher: “Honey! It’s time for our 4 pm album recording!”
Gregg Allman: *yes honey...*
Also I love how even when you get big enough for sponsors to notice you, your ads aren’t blown out or anything. Just Todd’s base voice, little jokes, and his iconic slideshow editing. Never change, man. (Well if you do, change for the better, but your call ;])
Damn,now I want someone to make a meme of that!
I don't usually call out spelling errors, but a "base voice" would be a voice that is foul and depraved. Reading your comment that way makes it funnier.
Yeah as soon as he said that I could see an image in my mind of Gregg Allman with that meme template saying "Yes dear..."
No matter how hard I try, I'll never NOT hear "You Really Got a Hold on Me" without immediately visualizing Smokey Robinson trying to escape the clutches of a VERY creepy Muppet letter U. And frankly, that's an apt metaphor for this couple.

Between her super-long hair (which I'm sure some is fake but some has to be real) and his pretty long for a guy hair, how much money do you think the Greg and Cher Allman household spent on hair product while they were together? I theorize that it possibly exceeded the military expenditures of some small countries like Luxembourg.
Plus, it looks like Gregg dyes.
I can guarantee their carpets were covered in hair, even a day after hoovering! I have long hair and my boyfriend does now as well (just below shoulder length, he hasn't had a haircut since before the pandemic). It feels like the second I hoover, more hair appears wherever I look. I don't get where it's coming from as neither of us are balding but jfc.
Anyway, probably spent a good portion of their budget on haircare products I reckon! Well, if celebs like that even budget.
as someone with long hair (to my ribs) probably quite a bit. i shed all over the place.
There's also the hidden cost for all the Dran-O to keep the shower unclogged

It really is saying something that Cher and Nic Cage had more chemistry together in Moonstruck than Cher and her then husband had when making Two the Hard Way
Rebound screw, chicks are more succeptible n guys just cash in

This story has a happy ending. Gregg got married four more times. By the seventh wife, he had marriage completely figured out.

"Jason Sudekis and Oliva Wilde seem perfectly happy" True peak Toddstadamus.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton as a couple.
It's like going to your high school reunion and discovering that the cool rebellious punk girl somehow ended up with the football team's backup quarterback who's really let himself go.
She's too good for him, i know thats mean but nobody is gonna say it so... and if they get married and have kids she gonna take like 10 years to make a fucking album. *sweats in gay*
Honey Lemon - Well, she's like 50 now and already has three kids from a previous marriage, so I think that ship has sailed.
I really don't get what the problem is, why can't people just leave them alone and stop judging. So far, everybody I've seen who hates Blake and Gwen together is people who think He's ugly, which is just incredibly shallow and stupid to me.
@@prismaze They're now engaged.... Sorry.....
I don't think anybody cares about Gwen Stefani or knows who Blake Shelton is.
Gregg Allman’s book title seems like a first line to some lyrics he wrote one day...
My cross to bear,
Her name was Cher,
We made an album,
I never pretended to care.
Actually it is derived from the 1969 Allman brothers song "It's Not My Cross to Bear".
I’ll have to check that out
Cutting to When Loving Lovers Love during the first song made me choke on my dinner. Thanks Todd.
Todd mentions this album would've done better if it leaned more into Cher and Gregg's marriage collapsing and their sadness and I agree with him, especially since I do find it funny that an album about love and a happy marriage was rejected by the public the same year that Fleetwood Mac put out Rumours, an album about marriage and romances completely falling apart which is now considered one of the best albums ever made.
Robert Fripp and Toyah Wilcox always amazed me as an unlikely pairing, but they seem incredibly happy.
I guess it's because they didn't release an album how much they lovey doveyed each other, and even if they did...Robert wouldn't have sang on it.
By 1983, this album was out of print. It was never released on CD or iTunes. Cher owns the master tapes, so that's that.
The 3rd track on the album, "Can You Fool," appeared on the 4CD Allman Brothers "Dreams" box set in 1989.
And she probably doesn't want anyone to hear it again.
@@jackolanternaudio372 She actually did release the album on her official RUclips page in October.

Something about Cher being on a list of biggest flop albums NINE TIMES is just so incredibly perfect
I love that FOR her honestly
there's a reason she's called the goddess of pop. she's basically immortal at this point
Some of her flops gained cult followings and were re-evaluated and considered better than originally thought.
Best thing about this -- while both of them are descent singers they managed to sound like aunt&uncle singing karaoke at a wedding.
the one trainwreckords i'd like to see is 'carasmatic' by irene cara. she went from being a breakout 80s pop act with six top 40 singles to a legal mess of an album that ended her singing career for over twenty years.
I want to know that story.
too many producers on the album, including John Farrar, the man behind Olivia Newton-John. When there's no cohesive sound behind an album, it can go off the rails pretty quickly.
@@christoddur That the problem when you have too many producers on one album: no cohesive direction. Pick one direction and stick to it.
@@saj8 sometimes it works: Carly Simon's "Coming Around Again" comes to mind - but, most times it does not.
@@christoddur That's because the executives want the artists to chase different audiences at once. Appetite For Destruction is an album that had one direction and stuck to it.

@@carybeweary7209 i think i remember hearing John Byrne was an Allman bros fan so he could have been his physical inspiration
You managed to walk the tight rope of insulting and complimenting both of them equally.
That must have taken a lot of work.
It helps that he is not insulting them but the idea of them producing art together. They are two great tastes that just do not go together like ketchup and peanut butter.
I'm amazed that Todd never mentioned Deadsy/Elijah Blue once during this episode.
That's how I keep reminding myself that Cher and Gregg Allman were a thing - that their son was the "Key to Gramercy Park" dude.

@@achair650 that is a deep cut.
@@DJsocial7102 Seriously.
It’s super weird that they keep introducing each other as “good friends”. You’re married. Everyone knows you’re married. Why are you not opening with “this is my wife/husband”? Are you trying to convince each other that you still like each other?
Possibly, but honestly, when I (as a dude in his younger thirties with an older mother, with heavy influence from my grandmother growing up) think of the humor and sensibilities of that generation -- the "joke" is underplaying your relationship/skills.
They're speaking to, assumedly, a crowd that is aware of their marriage, and the "joke" is that "oh, we're friends!". It'd be like saying, "this guy knows a thing or two about basketball, it's Lebron James!" or "This person has dabbled in writing, it's George RR Martin!"
@@ZJP Except saying that Martin has only dabbled in writing is pretty accurate. Can we start referring to him as "Pro Football Blogger, George RR Martin" yet?
I believe those were introduction clips from her tv show ("Cher" 1975-76) not from promo for this album (1977), so there's two options: she may have introduced most guests that way and it was just standard. Or, it was part of the program from before they were officially married- the show began in February; her divorce from sonny was finalized and she married Gregg on June 30.
@@Belgand Just because he hasn't written the book you wanted doesn't mean he hasn't written. Heck, he's written a lot _in_ Westeros since 2011, just not the next book.
You can be good friends while also being married, though.
Refreshing to know that 70's music sucked as much as it rocked.
Hey Todd, have you considered covering more music-related movies? Would be a nice way to fill the Cinemadonna-shaped hole in our hearts.
I was going through a project of listening to every Billboard Hot 100 #1 from 1960 to the present and I had to stop when I hit the early '70s. It was always a bit spotty, but that was just a miserable era where soft rock and saccharine easy listening pop took over almost completely. There was a ton of great rock happening, but it wasn't the forefront of the culture. It was actually kind of fascinating to watch how rapidly things began to splinter more and more into specific niches.
@@Belgand it was at the forefront of culture. Just not really on the pop charts. Look at the Billboard 200. Rock music dominated the album chart in the late 60s and all of the 70s, since FM radio became a thing
His Song vs Song podcast does that for patreon subscribers
I would love a series on Elvis or Bowie’s film careers. Granted, there’s a LOT less crap when it comes to Bowie…
Definitely not a Trainwreckord for Cher herself, though. She’s showed rubber-band like resiliency for decades, as well as just being plain likeable.
It's been said that if nuclear war broke out, all that would survive would be cockroaches, Twinkies, and Cher.
NJGuy1973 I’d love to think that Dolly Parton and Betty White would join her.
It arguably wasn't a Trainwreckord for Gregg, either. He continued having hits and the Allman Brothers had a successful reunion.
Well, but it was a Trainwreckord. Cher's career did die. It's not Todd's fault that apparently Cher is David Dunn.
Cher will have outlived us and have more comebacks than humanity. Well all have nuked our selves and she’ll have her 97th comeback and that’ll give humanity its 48th Cher aided human comeback

Gotta say, "Shadow Dream Song" is pretty beautiful. Easily the best song on the album.

I continue to think Trainwreckords is your absolute best work. I get more excited by you uploading a Trainwreckords than anything else, I must have watched all of them a hundred times.
Every look on Gregg's face showcases disgust, and I can clearly see why. This might rank up there with Duane dying as the worst thing to happen to his career.
I hope one day you will make a series about landmark albums, kinda like the opposite of trainwreckord.
I would love to hear you talk about "good" bands because there is no way some of those bands will ever make any of your series sadly
What would a good name be. The first thing I can think of would be star trecords
Well, remember that he started OHW because he felt that the good bands were already getting way too much coverage and that someone had to reveal the stories of the other artists. Trainwreckords kinda falls in the same vein - a piece of art that not a lot of people talk about. That's not to say I wouldn't mind hearing more about bands I like from him also, but I'm not sure it would fit his mission.
I mean, that kinda defeats the point of Todd's channel, because every single other music outlet and music reviewer does that, unlike Todd, that sifts through the obscure trash.
@@RDV333 in that case could you recommend some other music channels on youtube? most of them I find are devoid of any personality
I am already subscribed to spectrum pulse and double agent and buckley, they are main music channels I watch and would love some more
All good albums are the same; all bad albums are bad in their own way.
"Young, hot and in love." I am sorry, but 'hot' is not a word I would use for Gregg. Cher yes, but no, not Gregg. Not at all.
I guess "hot" to other guys? I mean, some of those pictures have him looking like the coolest dude in the room... and a lot of girls are into dad bods, which makes no sense to most guys. Unless those guys have dad bods... I've backed myself into a corner. Help!
At my ten year high school reunion I swear there were around twenty guys that had that exact Gregg Allman dazed look on their faces. We didn't have to ask what they had been doing for the past ten years.
Although Gregg was considered a sex symbol in the 1970s, according to Wikipedia.

and he seems overjoyed
Gregg Allman, how did you handle it when life got you down?
"Me? I did a lot of drugs, married some broad named Cher, and I wouldn't recommend either one of them".
As a Cher album, Two the Hard Way was a forgettable experiment in Cher's long discography
As a Gregg Allman album, Two the Hard Way was the ultimate sell-out record with one good song (Shadow Dream Song) that deserves to be on a better Gregg Allman project.
I'm so happy about your sponsorship todd, you have been doing so good, and trying so hard for so long, making incredible videos. Hopefully one day you will be the first thing people think of when "best quality youtubers" come to mind....
I just learned of his brother yesterday and what a guitarist he was. None of this would've happened if a truck wouldn't have suddenly stopped in front of Duane Allmans Harley-Davidson.
Whenever a couple releases an album about how much they're in love, it makes me think they're really doing terribly. See: Lita Ford's Wicked Wonderland album, which she has since completely disowned.

You should do a Trainwreckords on “The Final Cut” by Pink Floyd, essentially Roger Water’s attempt at “The Wall” Part 2 but it turned into a critical flop that destroyed the band, they made some more albums afterwards but I’d argue they lost their god tier status from the legacy of “The Final Cut”.
Yes!
Good call! There are people who like "The Final Cut" but you can talk about how it broke the band internally even more than it did commercially. I think its inscrutability even to Floyd fans makes it worth diving into.
If you like side 3 of "The Wall," but wish that both "Hey You" and "Comfortably Number" weren't on there, you will love "The Final Cut."
Bill Slocum yeah exactly, I’ll be honest, I quite like about half of the album, however it’s not good as a Pink Floyd album in my eyes. It’s good as a Roger Waters album.

Todd briefly mentioned this but The Allman Brothers has two of the most eerie deaths of any band: Duane Allman died in a motorcycle crash in 1971 in Macon GA. Only 13 months later in 1972, Berry Oakley died motorcycle crash only a couple blocks away from where Duane died. They were both 24... that... is messed up!
FYI, The Allman Brothers AT FILLMORE EAST is one of my favorite records of all time. And yes, "Allman and Woman" is a far cry from that.
For the next Trainwreckords on Garth Brooks in...The Life Of Chris Gaines. Essentially it was Brooks trying to pull off Bono's The Fly shtick, but failing miserably.
I'm surprised Chris Gaines never became a big meme
I really hope he does this.
