Look at what we stumbled across.

Yeah.

We're not going to have opening bands, and we're going to play right at sunset, and people are going to remember it.

And here I am, 30-odd, 40 years later, telling the story.

So cheers.

It really hit.

And everyone just threaded in true vibration, true frequency.

I did.

Same first Kiss concert.

What happened was King Cobra was playing, which was cool.

Carmen had a book out, Modern Drummer.

I was learning off that book.

So here he is, the guy that has the book, and I'm learning how to play...

from him from his book and his little square vinyls that I'm listening to on my mom's turntable and they're so analog if you can ever get your hand on an original modern drummer book that has the original square plastic vinyl it's every drum

He'll be like, all right, number 33, and a one, and a two, one, two, and then... It's like straight Zeppelin.

And if you're a kid, you're like, I'm gonna fucking play drums.

I'm like, I listen to this, how greasy this is.

The bass drum comes in on an offbeat, and that's where you get that.

So what happened was...

It was them and then I want to say Faster Pussycat and Faster Pussycat did some stuff because they were the very first band I'd ever seen use direct input sampling before the show.
