Vinyl Sales, Rolling Stone's Top 200 Singers, Iggy Pop in AC/DC , Danzig sings Elvis (S7 E22)

Welcome to Sounds On Vinyl, the only podcast for hard rock, metal, and blues lovers passionate about the warm sound of vinyl records.

This week, Mike & Phil discuss the latest trends in vinyl sales, as well as the Rolling Stones' Top 200 Singers (which we think is total bullshit). Did Iggy Pop really get asked to front AC/DC? We have our doubts and we share who would have been a better pick over Iggy and even Axl Rose. Of course, this leads us to some thoughts on Danzig singing Elvis Classics.

boyer and from across the vast open seas where the vikings once ruled is my

[phil]:

brother from another mother professor rock star extraordinary let singer of bands past prison future

[phil]:

mike fence and mike what the hell is going on

svensson]:

oh it's going good it's it's so much to do being going to be opening

svensson]:

the record story in a couple of months so i'm buying a ship load of

[phil]:

yeah

svensson]:

albums putting up shelves on and and

[phil]:

yeah

svensson]:

doing the best i can to make the place look really good so

[phil]:

yeah

svensson]:

it's going to be a lot of fun

[phil]:

yeah

svensson]:

this sounds on final record story

[phil]:

yeah you sent me a picture before we started recording here and it's looking

svensson]:

m

[phil]:

it's

svensson]:

yeah

[phil]:

shaping up and it's looking it's looking

svensson]:

it's

[phil]:

good

svensson]:

up yeah

[phil]:

it's looking good

svensson]:

all right

[phil]:

yeah

svensson]:

it is cool or okay so i just want to start since i'm the vinal

svensson]:

guy vinal nord or

[phil]:

oh

svensson]:

whatever the heck we want to call me i got a d m talking about

svensson]:

how to differ between how to tell the difference between newly

[phil]:

i

svensson]:

pressed album and an old one so

[phil]:

m

svensson]:

i

[phil]:

m

svensson]:

i tried to explain this because for me it's so like yeah well you know

svensson]:

it's just look at the record

[phil]:

oh

svensson]:

and what not then i had to explain

[phil]:

at

svensson]:

and i had to send pictures even

[phil]:

oh

svensson]:

so we've talked about this

[phil]:

oh

svensson]:

a lot of times before especially with with soren

[phil]:

oh

svensson]:

who is the ultimate vinal nord the book called all about final or in

[phil]:

yeah

svensson]:

scandinavian altum venue

[phil]:

oh

svensson]:

so i got a little album hair

[phil]:

oh

svensson]:

and the way for you to tell because

[phil]:

a

svensson]:

they're sneaky sometimes the new or pressings they

[phil]:

yeah

svensson]:

tend to look exactly

[phil]:

oh

svensson]:

like the old one so what you need to do is to take your

[phil]:

no

svensson]:

your your album here

[phil]:

yeah

svensson]:

your vinal record and then you look

[phil]:

what

svensson]:

for this it's the called the run out grove here so in there it's sort

svensson]:

of like a mirror thing where you see all the groves that go right up

svensson]:

until the end here

[phil]:

oh

svensson]:

then you get some sort of like a blank spot here and here's numbers and

[phil]:

oh

svensson]:

and if you look at

[phil]:

no

svensson]:

those real closely

[phil]:

it

svensson]:

it it's it's there is

[phil]:

the

svensson]:

at some on some albums

[phil]:

yet

svensson]:

there is even inscriptions

[phil]:

oh

svensson]:

from the guys that have

[phil]:

ah

svensson]:

has remostered the album or or cut the album and the tentially

[phil]:

oh

svensson]:

their initials so we talked about this

[phil]:

oh

svensson]:

with robert ludwig who did the

[phil]:

m

svensson]:

sapling to and done kiss alive he has r

[phil]:

m

svensson]:

l in his markings on right next student you can find some numbers on this

[phil]:

oh

svensson]:

one it says two three nine one two two four

[phil]:

oh

svensson]:

five one dash three so and this is a rainbow album

[phil]:

right

svensson]:

right here

[phil]:

yeah

svensson]:

and with that number

[phil]:

yeah

svensson]:

you can tell whether it's new york pressing

[phil]:

yeah

svensson]:

or or an old one original if that's what you're looking for and and the

svensson]:

best suggestion that i have is

[phil]:

no

svensson]:

go on a page called disco

[phil]:

i

svensson]:

disco

[phil]:

yeah

svensson]:

dot com and then you can

[phil]:

yeah

svensson]:

see all the listings for all the releases

[phil]:

my

svensson]:

and an artist have done with that kelly album so so that's it that's what

svensson]:

you need to look for the matrix

[phil]:

yeah

svensson]:

numbers in the rana grub

[phil]:

there you go

svensson]:

there you go that's my five cents on renal records today

[phil]:

awesome hey and speaking of

svensson]:

it is

[phil]:

final records so they

svensson]:

hm

[phil]:

are on the rise sales are on the rise of final records which

svensson]:

oh

[phil]:

is

svensson]:

yeah

[phil]:

your year

svensson]:

yes

[phil]:

year the sales from twenty one to twenty twenty two are up three point eight

[phil]:

percent three point eight percent two point two million records were sold during the last

[phil]:

week of december right before christmas compared to only two point one in the year

[phil]:

before twenty twenty one um and it usually pops right before christmas obviously people are

[phil]:

buying final his presence and stuff like that but that's pretty

svensson]:

yeah

[phil]:

slick so three almost four percent man that's awesome

svensson]:

yeah i tried to explain this to to ordinary

[phil]:

ye

svensson]:

disturbed people

[phil]:

oh

svensson]:

uh that

[phil]:

yeah

svensson]:

just just to get a grip on

[phil]:

ah

svensson]:

on how big vinal records

[phil]:

oh

svensson]:

are today for the general person when aba did their reunion the aba voyage album

svensson]:

they released that one on both on sid and on final

[phil]:

ah

svensson]:

and this is a band that hasn't released an album in forty years s

[phil]:

right

svensson]:

so they decided to do some new tracks and and release a new album now

[phil]:

m

svensson]:

the pressing plants here in europe they were all booked by aba

[phil]:

ah

svensson]:

cause they pre ordered a million copies

svensson]:

an older band five hundred thousand

[phil]:

m

svensson]:

[phil]:

what i was to be part of this band and you know it's like okay

svensson]:

more metal and hard rock than dendmilovado

alis

svensson]:

a young guitar player a woman that has been trying to to get noticed for

svensson]:

such a long time

[phil]:

oh

svensson]:

and all of a sudden alis cooper

[phil]:

rumors you know he's got like all these rifts in a box somewhere in his

[phil]:

vault right he's got rift after rift after rift most haven't even seen the light

[phil]:

of day i mean i bet you if he released an album of just rifts

svensson]:

[phil]:

he would fucking sell

svensson]:

uh

[phil]:

it would sound

svensson]:

yeah

[phil]:

because

svensson]:

[phil]:

nobody has been able to replicate many of try but you know there's nobody can

[phil]:

[phil]:

m

svensson]:

i mean and i would bet that

[phil]:

yeah

svensson]:

he's an english dude i mean it wouldn't cost a million dollars for him to

svensson]:

release that i mean we would we would see that up with our mating i

svensson]:

mean sorry for motor head and and and those bands for for a lot like

svensson]:

beneath the hundred dollars for

[phil]:

hm

svensson]:

for a box set so i think that be cool i mean could you imagine

[phil]:

svensson]:

here in

[phil]:

oh

svensson]:

those first demos that he did for earth

like

and

[phil]:

oh

svensson]:

antony feels like a guy who wouldn't release any music if it wasn't good

[phil]:

svensson]:

the albums and he is wearing t shirts and he's

[phil]:

a

svensson]:

he's looking through red lightning

[phil]:

oh

[phil]:

yeah

svensson]:

pictures

[phil]:

yeah

svensson]:

so far it's all the chit that dot i am

[phil]:

yeah

svensson]:

saved from back into day so we're listening to this documentary on swedish radio

[phil]:

yes

svensson]:

and gets to the point where they talk about dave mitaine

[phil]:

yeah

svensson]:

and they talk about him starting to drink and i became angry and violent

[phil]:

yeah

svensson]:

and so forth and then all of a sudden they decided to do fire this

svensson]:

guy and then they

[phil]:

oh

svensson]:

moved along and in the show and and all of a sudden they are talking

svensson]:

about the big four

[phil]:

m

svensson]:

which hit gothenburg

[phil]:

he

svensson]:

with

[phil]:

what

svensson]:

slayer and megatethaand metallic and athrixandand i explained to him as

[phil]:

oh

svensson]:

you remember that guy who got fired right before they released our first album yeah

[phil]:

yeah

svensson]:

his name was dave mustane

[phil]:

a

svensson]:

and he formed a band called megateth

[phil]:

oh

svensson]:

which is part of the big four played together with metallic slayer and and outhraks

svensson]:

oh that's cool and you know what he still cries

[phil]:

my

svensson]:

to this

[phil]:

oh

svensson]:

day for not being in metallic at what yeah he actually cries it was just

svensson]:

a couple of

[phil]:

yeah

svensson]:

months ago he cannot swallow that still that he got fired from italica but he

svensson]:

played

[phil]:

what

svensson]:

in front of sixty five thousand in gothenburg together

[phil]:

yeah

svensson]:

with with his former band mates together with slayer together we anthrax because he is

svensson]:

in a band that he formed himself which is called the big four and you

svensson]:

heard him go quiet a bit

[phil]:

m

svensson]:

is he stupid

[phil]:

oh

svensson]:

i said

[phil]:

okay

svensson]:

well

[phil]:

oh

svensson]:

i'm just giving you the fact i'm giving you the fact so we talked about

svensson]:

this

[phil]:

yes

svensson]:

because i saw that that they're planning on undoing another album and he's been struggling

svensson]:

with cancer or what not but and we talked about this

[phil]:

oh

svensson]:

because

[phil]:

oh

svensson]:

i got a chance to buy a couple of metal albums

[phil]:

i

svensson]:

and and

[phil]:

yeah

svensson]:

p elson who's buying what was

[phil]:

yeah

svensson]:

and that makes for the store and and i showed him and the picture and

svensson]:

the art work and so forth which i think is really cool by the way

svensson]:

not the music so much but the art work

[phil]:

ah

svensson]:

and we came to talk about this and and

[phil]:

yeah

svensson]:

we we compared all all this i mean

[phil]:

yeah

svensson]:

mayhem that that was in the in the eighties with all the record carvers and

svensson]:

all the metal heads that that like you and i right with our bikes and

[phil]:

yeah

svensson]:

meeting up and with friends and so forth having

[phil]:

yeah

svensson]:

our boom box and so forth and megadet

[phil]:

yeah

svensson]:

was in that

[phil]:

oh

svensson]:

mix because it was also

[phil]:

oh

svensson]:

in the eighties so he did have

[phil]:

i

svensson]:

pretty great career and still has one if i'm not mistaken i don't know i

svensson]:

think megatix is still around

[phil]:

yeah they just put out a new

svensson]:

so

[phil]:

record or they're about

svensson]:

yeah

[phil]:

to

svensson]:

okay

[phil]:

one of the two

svensson]:

i wanted to do yeah i'm not keeping track so but but it's strange

[phil]:

yeah

svensson]:

to to hear

[phil]:

ye

svensson]:

and and there was an expert on metallic on this documentary and she said the

svensson]:

same thing he just and let this go still today he just cannot let

[phil]:

yeah

svensson]:

it go that he was fired but it's

[phil]:

i

svensson]:

it's i mean if that was it for him i would understand but but it's

svensson]:

it's

[phil]:

you know what

svensson]:

i mean it's

[phil]:

he's

svensson]:

incense

[phil]:

one of those narsisists that

svensson]:

ah

[phil]:

he's like trump and elon mosk and these guys that

svensson]:

oh

[phil]:

think that they're that they're the best thing that ever happened to the world and

svensson]:

yeah

[phil]:

the he canes megadeth yes he's had a good career megadeth has made a name

[phil]:

it's it's a it's a big band but it's still a piss in the bucket

[phil]:

compared to metallica

svensson]:

uh

[phil]:

and he can't he can't

svensson]:

uh

[phil]:

accept

svensson]:

yeah

[phil]:

that he can't

svensson]:

yeah

[phil]:

he can't accept that he's not as good as metallica is now if if if

[phil]:

he was bigger than metal we would still hear about it because he would say

[phil]:

you know metallic made the mistake and they fired me and look how big i

[phil]:

am and look how small they are it's just his

svensson]:

yeah

[phil]:

personality he will never let it go because he's a fucking seis psychopath that thinks

[phil]:

he's

svensson]:

oh

[phil]:

more talented than he is and he just needs to suck and move on or

[phil]:

i don't know we all need to move on you can send all your

svensson]:

yeah

[phil]:

hate mail to me if you want

svensson]:

yeah

[phil]:

but that's just my

svensson]:

yeah

[phil]:

my interpretation of dave mistaine i mean

svensson]:

yeah

[phil]:

i don't know

svensson]:

but but it's strange because because

[phil]:

yeah

svensson]:

i'm trying to i mean it's not that i'm not moving along because i really

svensson]:

don't care but

[phil]:

yeah

svensson]:

but since i mean this is a new documentary

[phil]:

oh

svensson]:

swedish national

[phil]:

i

svensson]:

radio and they talk

[phil]:

m

svensson]:

about this the way that we talk about it more diploma

[phil]:

oh

svensson]:

of course because it's natural radio but still they have to mention it if if

svensson]:

that was the case that there was it's just a blip in history map when

svensson]:

he talked about metallic they wouldn't mention it all so this dude they was saying

svensson]:

he got fired

[phil]:

oh

svensson]:

because he was drunk and hit people and he got angry and he couldn't play

svensson]:

his inter instrument moving along with the metallic history no then the

[phil]:

right

svensson]:

expert

[phil]:

uh

svensson]:

expert on the talk comes in and she says well

[phil]:

oh

svensson]:

m this is my interpretation of the whole thing

[phil]:

yeah

svensson]:

and she has the same feelings that we

[phil]:

yeah

svensson]:

do more

[phil]:

hm

svensson]:

diblematie of course still but it's it's still to this day

[phil]:

no

svensson]:

i mean won't go away because he won't go away

[phil]:

no no and those kind of people they don't they run a lot of things

[phil]:

that they touch and they don't see it that way they don't see that that

[phil]:

it's that it's on them you know you look at what you know to really

[phil]:

go off topic here you look at what elan musk has done to twitter and

[phil]:

then the two months he's

svensson]:

yeah

[phil]:

been at the helm i mean it's a dempster fire you know he's getting

svensson]:

yeah

[phil]:

the headquarters he's getting advicted from you know in two months he's set this thing

[phil]:

so far much on fire you know who knows what's going to happen i don't

[phil]:

know i mean he's going to have he's going a have to bring somebody in

[phil]:

you look at trump and say what you want about his politics but the dude's

[phil]:

bankrupted pretty much every single company he's overstarted these guys are there they can't see

[phil]:

reality right and i think they've mistained the same way he can't see reality he

[phil]:

can't see that had metallic kept in the band there would be no metallica today

[phil]:

we wouldn't have had we might have had writ the lightning but we wouldn't have

[phil]:

had anything past that we wouldn't have had a third fourth they wouldn't be the

[phil]:

biggest fan that they are today um so i mean that said it's not that

[phil]:

bad because then we wouldn't have had the black album so that version of history

svensson]:

you had to go there fucking

[phil]:

yeah

svensson]:

ell you had to go there

[phil]:

but but enough about

svensson]:

oh

[phil]:

that enough

svensson]:

man

[phil]:

about that guy i mean

svensson]:

no

[phil]:

it is you know it is what it is you know and

svensson]:

yeah

[phil]:

and you know just we have we have metallica and they seem to be going

[phil]:

on a better troductory these days of doing better uh you know heavier music and

[phil]:

not the poppy based they were doing there for a while in the nineties and

[phil]:

early two thousand so i don't know we'll see it's an evolution for sure

svensson]:

we'll see yeah

[phil]:

yep

svensson]:

you can follow everything here on the sand so vile

[phil]:

right

svensson]:

we're talking more

[phil]:

yes

svensson]:

metallic

[phil]:

yes and with that i guess it's time

svensson]:

what

[phil]:

to get the fuck out of here unless you got some last words

svensson]:

it is no

[phil]:

that's it

svensson]:

no last words

[phil]:

all right so until next week go listen to some megadethlater

svensson]:

later
