Saw Motorhead twice , in small venues , .., Lemmy walked up to the mic , delivered his famous line , they played for an hour and a half , and said thanks , walked off .., COOL !!!!!!!!!
These record store conversations with Anthony are the best content on your channel brother! Anthony is the best. 😊
What am I? Chopped liver? Haha 😂
Love these shows at the record shop ❤
Love seeing you both connect with each other, love the chat so cool.
Cool and iconic discussion, literally.
I think thats what makes Keith Richards so cool. He was just himself , and people copied him. But in interviews you can always tell how much he loves music. Still gets excited talking about his heroes
Cool in rock is it's longevity and diversity
Your conversations with Anthony are compelling viewing. Great stull thoroughly enjoy these discussions.
I have a t-shirt issue as well. I now often buy two shirts at shows...one to wear and one to save. And when I do a RUclips video, I spend up to 15 minutes deciding what shirt to wear.
Love these videos...I always felt Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock was cool. After he played his set he just said thankyou. I hope I remember that correctly. Lemme from Motorhead absolutely cool.
Think we need a video of Anthony just talking John Mellencamp .....now that would be cool 😎
Maybe stop calling him Cougar though.
Doughnuts and music. I love it! LoL 😂
I remember in the late 80's the Converse All Star Chuck Taylors came back in fashion... I wore them playing basketball once... ONCE... the rubber soles transferred the heat of the asphalt basketball court and my feet felt like they were on fire.... CONVERSELY (pun intended) I bought a pair of Air Jordans years later (when I no longer played any basketball) and found out the hard way why they have people run onto the court to dry it off when a player dives on the floor for a loose ball... I had to pack up my car while on a road trip in the rain, ran around the car on the painted sidewalk at the motel and completely wiped out and landed on my keys in my pocket... then I had to drive 10 hours soaking wet with a bruise on my right thigh
The bands creativity, the way they treat their fans
Brant Bjork is cool, solo or with Kyuss. That entire desert rock scene is cool.
Phil Lynott, Lemmy, Josh Homme, Jimi Hendrix, Patti Smith, Miles Davis, Johnny Cash - all have that indefinable element.
I want that Scars on Broadway record behind you.
Ive always thought Lemmy was the best example of this.
You rock has joined the lexicon of overused corporate cliches these days. Many people at my employer say it. It’s quickly gotten up there with the classics such as “think outside the box”, “be a good team player”, “synergies”, etc.
Izzy Stradlin embodied the cool factor.
Keith Richards, Lemmy, Malcolm Young, Bon Scott 🤘🏻
The word Nostalgia refers to the sweetest thing there is. You show me someone who “hates” the word “nostalgia” and I’ll show you someone who hates themself
I still miss Joey Ramone❤️
When I was in highschool (early 80's) everybody wore their rock tshirts. Even some girls did. Usually they had their boyfriends lol
Mike Ness is still cool . I’ve been listening to a guy named JD McPherson for ten or more years , he is really cool .
Mike Ness is indeed COOL!
@ As a guitar player , Mike Ness Rich Robinson and Charlie Starr , stage presence and tone = cool
There are people who get on stage and just know how to attract the audience's attention, which we all think it's cool. Anthony is cool to me, because he is not a B.S.er. There is a difference in enjoying music and being captivated by somebody's presence that makes them cool. Think about going to a concert to see a band that just stands on stage and sings songs versus a band that has a stage show. Which is more cool? Add a person that has that has that persona of attracting people to them. Now that's cool!
Jimmy Page, LA 77, Skipping in his Bell bottom Dragon Suit. Achilles Last Stand. Lasers. Keef Richards almost collapsing when Mick leans on him.
😎👍
Video idea: Take one of your first CDs you ever bought and see if it still plays. I know there's comments going around that CDs DON'T last forever. 🤘😝🤘
Every CD I own still plays including CDs that are 40 years old. Additionally the comments that CDs will eventually breakdown was about burned CDs which only have about a 10 year lifespan before problems can occur. Factory pressed CDs were said to at least have a 50 year lifespan. But since no CDs have been around 50 years the theory can’t be tested. However, it’s not expected that they will up and stop working when they hit 50 either.
I've got some really old ones, they all still play but I've had a couple get brittle and crack when snapping them out of jewel case due to age
All of mine that I bought around 1985/1986 still play.
Pittsburgh's Rock legend Donnie Iris...! And another one is Graham Bonnet.
Mark Knopfler Is Plain and COOL
Stevie Ray Vaughan king of coolness.
Cool factor’s an overrated concept. It’s the same as being trendy. Trends come and go, and some of em suck. Even if they were considered cool once.
Being genuine’s better than being cool. Because in that sense “cool” is mixed up with smugness.
I look at "cool" in rock so many different ways, for example, I think the Guns N' Roses, Skid Row style are "cool", and I think about having that lifestyle and how it'd be badass for a week, then become the drizzling shits.
Then I see the Ramones and say, hell yeah THAT is"cool" but for entirely different reasons!
Aerosmith, Green Day, Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Stones, they're all cool in their own ways which is pretty damn cool itself
Anthony had me laughing so hard.... Water is soooo Iconic! 🤣 There is times when to be a dick and not be a dick. Me, When a Dick backs into my truck and runs.... Then I am a dick. Otherwise, I am generally pretty chill. Love you guys. Sorry Brendon.... You guys rock!🤘
Jonathan Davis in a Kilt is cool
Anthony is correct - ICONIC (widely recognized and well-established, widely known and acknowledged especially for distinctive EXCELLENCE)... you can use that for something great, but Converse doesn't apply... the correct word should be RECOGNIZABLE (able to be recognized or identified from previous encounters or knowledge) which doesn't have a positive or negative connotation to it.... if you want a synonym with a negative connotation, then use INDELIBLE (something that can't be erased or removed), INFAMOUS (well known for some bad quality or deed) or NOTORIOUS (famous or well known, typically for some bad quality or deed) - but because of the Duran Duran song and Biggie Smalls, that word now has a positive connotation to it.
The "cool factor"......The Replacements!
Slash, Chris Cornell and Dave Grohl were my definition of cool back in the day. Axl and Lars were my definition of uncool. Slash was the coolest because he did not give a shit. He just wanted to make hard rockin music. Who does not like Slash? Am I right. Tattoos were once considered uncool, and now they are cool and trendy.
Ive always liked Izzy and Duff as well.
The only thing I have against the "cool factor" is that it's the reason The Ramones and A Tribe Called Quest are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame while Jethro Tull and Blue Oyster Cult are not.
What is anthony’s band again???
Long Gone Day
They are called Long Gone Day and their albums are available to listen to on Spotify.
erhmm , seen a few evil donuts in my time , ;)
My daughter loves music and loves the rock shirts….ill only buy it if she can name 3 songs by the band … that child ain’t gonna embarrass me in public when she’s asked about that t shirt 😅
Cool in rock for me is two words MICK JAGGER! And Pat Benatar is the coolest rock chick ever!
Isn’t it Brendon Snyder?
Keith Richards….King of cool!!!
Leave the donuts, get cannolis at Calandras instead for RSD
I love a good Cannolis!
BRENDON does Anthony LIKE YOUR NEW LOOK ??? Don't forget to pick up that Village People Box Set !!!
Its just one word for it.....SLASH.
Tom Petty, the King of Kool
