- The closer you sit to the camera--

- The first album that I ever owned

was or is and will always be

Sargent Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band by The Beatles.

- It was Kiss Destroyer, I do believe.

Revolver by The Beatles.

Johnny Cash, A Boy Named Sue.

- The first one that was given to me

is The Jackson Five ABC record.

That was actually the first concert I went to too.

Donald, Disco Duck.

I'm gonna say it was,

I'm sure it was The Beatles, Help!

Powerslave by Iron Maiden.

Walt Disney's A Haunted House.

The first records I bought

were, like, probably stuff like The Pretty Things

or something like that.

I still love those guys.

What the Rolling Stones wanted to sound like.

The first record I ever bought

I was five years old

and it's Kiss Alive!.

My grandmother bought me

the Powerage ACDC album

when it had just come out

and I played the shit out of that thing.

- The Untitled fourth Led Zeppelin record.

With, like, Rock and Roll, Black Dog,

When the Levi Breaks.

And I just thought that that was so insanely heavy.

I didn't know what I was getting into at the time.

Led Zeppelin II on vinyl

with the gape fold.

We're An American Band,

the Grand Funk record.

It was insane 'cause it was this

gold, gape fold thing.

You open it up and all these hippies

are naked with American flags everywhere.

The first record I bought was

a Village People record. (laughs)

And the first record I owned is by the Sugarhill Gang.

* No basis is reality

- The first record I bought was

Donovan Sunshine Superman, a seven inch,

and my mom was shopping for art stuff

and I had heard that song a lot on the radio.

- When I was 13 after years of my badgering them

and threatening to buy records

and play them on the living room stereo

they finally got me my own.

I think they had morbid fears

of what was going to happen

when they open the Pandora's Box

and they all came true within,

I don't know, an hour or so.

There was a Creedence Clearwater Revival album

called Pendulum that had just come out

and then Steppenwolf, The Second.

We had to start somewhere.

- The first second I bought

was 45 by the Canadian band

Guess Who Called, American Woman.

I didn't really know what it was about.

It was, when it came out

I wasn't a teenager yet.

I was still a grade school guy.

I'd play it over and over and over.

I don't know why that song got me.

Something about the lick.

- [Keith My friend found a 50 dollar bill

in the bottom of the fruit jar

or the fruit bowl on the counter.

I guess his dad's mentality would be,

"My kids don't eat fruit.

"I'll just hide the 50 dollar bill

"here in the bottom of all the fruit

"and it'll be safe."

So, we ended up talking my grandmother into

driving us to the mall.

My friend Chuck Underwood bought two copies.

One for himself and one for me.

And my dad loved this record

because my dad would smoke pot at midnight

and listen to it in the headphones.

I was a Kiss kid.

I, that's how I learned to play drums, listening to Kiss.

- A friend of mine turned me on to ACDC

and I knew it drove my mom crazy

because they were hippies

and so they listened to cool music,

Zeppelin and stuff like that,

but ACDC was too much for them.

So, it had definitely drew the line in the sand

as far as that's your music, this is my music.

It was Jackson Five mania.

They had their own cartoon.

It was my favorite cartoon.

I played the record to death.

It's pretty whipped but I still break it out

every now and again.

- Two Minutes to Midnight was the first song

that, my mom was really cool growing up,

but that song like scared the shit out of her.

Like, she, that was the first song she was like,

"You do not listen to that record.

"You do not listen to that song.

"It's satanic."

And of course, I was hooked from there.

* Now it's signed

* Text classified

* Nations are now corporate colonies

* Robber barons

* In high castles

* Have the nerve to call this trade

* Globalize means downsize

* Your rights to theirs

* Tweet tweet tweet tweedle de-dah

* New feudalism

- Okay, everybody take three steps back right now

'cause people are getting squished up here.

Even in the back, one, two, three.

As a kid we

listened to AM radio.

You get in the car,

you turn the radio on,

you had either,

here in Los Angeles,

you either had KHJ, which was the softer,

nicer sounds or you would have KRLA

which was a little bit grungier,

a little bit dirtier, a little bit more soulful.

It was kinda like The Beatles at KHJ

and the Rolling Stones at KRLA

and between the two every now and then

one of them would play Summertime Blues
