Weiland's Purple to the Core Concert at Revolution Live 8/24/13

I went with my friends to Weiland's concert Purple to the Core on 8/24/13 at Revolution Live in Ft. Lauderdale.  First I had the drama of the meet and greet, that no one knew the time or if I needed a ticket, after I had all ready printed a receipt from my VIP ticket purchase. Eventually that was fixed. The venue in itself was nice, two bars, a lowered open floor, and a upper VIP area. The first band to go on was Bobby Lee Rodgers Duo , they were great. The next band was The Last Internationale and they were amazing. They did some cover songs and their own.  I couldn't believe how good they were, really enjoyed their set. I regret that I didn't record their sets. When TLI set was over I was with the Meet and Greet group. We were taken back stage to meet Scott. I was vaguely nervous, but extremely excited to meet him. Then he steeped out of a door way on the side and I said "Ohhh my god", and it finally hit me that I was actually meeting him. 18 years of waiting to meet your idol. So I waited for my turn, which was agonizing. A security/crew person took my phone to take my picture with Scott. Scott autographed poster for me and then we did introductions, and  I fumbled while having to switch my poster to my left hand and shake with my right. I got a smirk from Wieland, I died. Next we took our picture and then I had to leave. In my last seconds of me with him, I told him to have a kick ass show and he nodded at me as he took another picture. My group was waiting for Scott to be done and then we were ushered out of the back and people were screaming " Thanks!" We Love you!".

This was the set list for the night :

• Opener Jazz piece
• "Crackerman"
• "Meatplow"
• "Paralysis"
• "Jean Genie" (David Bowie cover)
• "Kitchenware and Candybars"
• "Where the River Goes"
• "Mountain Song" (Jane's Addiction cover)
• "The Big Empty"
• "Can't Stand Me Now" (The Libertines cover)
• "Vaseline"
• "Dead & Bloated"

Encore

• "Roadhouse Blues" (The Doors cover)
• "Unglued"

 Overall The Wildabouts did a phenomenal job backing up Weiland. I thought this was a great show. All songs were spot on and Wieland singing was great, every pitch perfect. The random moments of the concert were Weiland's bit about alligators. Otherwise got entertained by his skills on the kazoo and hermonica in one song. And his obsession with putting the mega phone near the amps which would make a wooing noise. The encore time frame was interesting, all that played was some background music and the phaser machine, which made me think Wieland might be good with electronica. At one point I got emotional while Wieland was singing the song Kitchenware and Candybars, he really belted this one out, and I was imagining him in different times of his life singing, the concerts i've seen him, my obsession, and the culminating fact of finally meetig him.

Concert Post SOON

Hey guys, I'll be posting about the concert I went to over the weekend this week. AMAZING SHOW! I also met Scott and words can not describe what it's like to wish to meet someone for about 18 years and finally meet them.

Review of Weiland's Memoir: Dead & Not for Sale

Scott Wieland: Dead and Not for Sale memoir, was a roller coaster ride of a book. First off this book took forever for me to get it was released in July 2012 and I didn't get till Summer 2013. Also what was interesting was that with the publishing of his book Scott had made web episodes for the book (which are down below) There were many sad things that have on in Scott's life.  To date he's not doing drugs and I hope it stays like that FOREVER. He's an amazing artist and i will always support his music. Love this man to death!
A lot of people didn't like the book. Sometimes I wanted to know more information like about his time in jail, but overall I loved learning about how some of the songs were created, how STP was created, and how Scott has countless times fallen but has always managed to fight back and survive. Furthermore I loved seeing the pictures and art work throughout the book, it made the book seem more of him, then a bunch of pages with words on them. Some critics thought it took away from the book, but in my opinion he is a very creative musically driven person and his creativity shows in different ways throughout this book. Eventually I want to read his ex wife Mary Forsberg  (Yep, the same Mary that's made famous from the Wet My Bed song on Core) book Fall to Pieces: A Memoir of Drugs, Rock 'n' Roll, and Mental Illness.

"I was Superman but looks are deceiving" Sour Girl Favorite Video

There are many video's that STP has produced and I love each and everyone of them, but I had to pick my personal favorite, which was Sour Girl. It was a while since i heard from the great band, Believing that there was never going to be another album or that  Weiland fell off the deep end and in some serious trouble.  Only having Weiland's 12 bar blues to keep me company and the STP albums.Then i saw it on my tv...THE video. Surreal. A dream/nightmare perhaps. Then the orchestra strings playing. And then a shirtless tattooed figure came into view....and i fell in love all over again. It was Weiland, but he wasn't super skinny. He looked amazing to me. Loved how the video changed from black and white together, depending on the lyrics and the mood.  All i knew is Sarah Michelle Gellar was a very lucky girl (Interesting fact she's a fan of STP and while Scott was in jail he had become a fan of the Buffy show and requested her for the video). Gellar plays a dark angel/Scott's love interest in the video.My obsession returned, and of course none of my friends knew who i was talking about or why my school binders had a shirtless tattooed man on the cover. Oh and then by chance that  summer i got to see him in concert (My 1st STP concert). You will remember this video based on the evil bunny, and the telletubby like creatures, and Weilands dancing which looked like he was doing Tai Chi.

"Tangled with your Mind" the Happy in Galoshes Review

Happy in Galoshes (2008) was Scott''s second solo album. I knew Scott had made another solo album. But was still annoyed he was not with STP, so i never took a chance listened.It was not until i found out he was touring in Florida, did i listen to his album. If i were to compare to 12 Bar Blues its completely different. The one song i loved is Tangled in my Mind the video was cute. Unbenounced  to me I have been listening to the deluxe edition on Youtube that had 11 extra songs to the already 10, so it's a  bit of a mix.

Review of Happy in Galoshes

*Missing Cleveland- All I kept things of was davie bowies changes, the music and the chord pattern.
*Tangle with your mind- Reminds me of "tiny music" album.
*Blind Confusion- really indie
*Paralysis- another one that reminds me of bowie, super catchy. LOVE
*She sold her system- very spacey, and reminds me of 12 bar blues Barberalla #2, very .chill.
*Fame (David Bowie cover)
*Killing me Sweetly- good
*Big Black Monster- great
*Crash- i didn't like the beginning, in such a high pitch for him. Love it!
Beautiful Day- i'm in between on this one
=Hyper-Fuzz-Funny Car- reminded me of "crackerman". "I'm burning alive" All it needed was a bull horn!
=Man I didn't know- was written for his dad he never knew. really heart breaking
=Somtimes chicken soup- love the banjo in it
=Something must go this way-
*Pictures and Computers (I'm not Superman)- love the big band feel to it in the beginning with the trumpets
*Arch Angel- there were too many noises in this song and it annoyed me, I couldn't appreciate the song due to this
*Be not afraid- I really thought this was intresting because it is a Jesiuit Hymn
Exerpt from Scott Weiland's memoir Dead and Not for Sale:

"In my preteen years, I had developed a deep and abiding love of God, inspired by the ministry of Father Plato and Father Trevisin. Dave brought us into the Catholic fold. My mother had been Episcopalian but felt comforted by the view of Christ afforded by these two gentle priests. It wasn’t about fire and brimstone, guilt or punishment. It was about a compassionate and patient love that doesn’t judge, scorn, or scold. “Be not afraid. I go before you always. Come follow me and I will give you rest.” I related to the notion of… an all-forgiving love. I wanted it.

I became an altar boy. I wore the robes. During Mass, I brought the wine and host to the priests. I lit the candles. Today, no matter where I am–tour bus, hotel room, studio, cabin in the woods–I light the candles. They… remind me of a time when God sat in the center of my heart. Not that He’s ever disappeared…"

When Scott worked with Velvet Revolver, the Contraband review

Velvet Revolver (2004) was Weiland's time with guns and roses band-mates  Slash (guitar), Duff McKagan (bass) and Matt Sorum (drums), and  Dave Kushner from a punk band called Wasted Youth. Velvet revolver was a "tour de force", with their music. Very hard rock. There first single off contraband was slither.  First time i saw Weiland since his sour girl video and i was like what happened to him, He was so emaciated. I knew his habits were getting him at his worst, but this is the rock star life. I never bought this CD, because I'm not a Hard Rock fan and really just wanted STP together again. Even though they were a great super-group, Weiland left VR in 2008 to get back with STP.

 At the same time the De Leo brothers were working with Richard Patrick (frontman of the band Filter) with their band Army of Anyone. Which wad a pretty good group, I ended up buying their cd. 

The one video I dislike is during Weiland's time with VR was Fall to Pieces.To this day  i can't watch this video and not get upset. Seeing this video and reading Scott's memoir later on really brings his addiction issues to full circle. The video show's Weiland's struggle to maintain his relationship with his wife and a graphic depiction of Scott's through an overdose. 

VR's Set me Free was used in the movie The Hulk in 2003

Review of Velvet Revolver's Contraband

*Sucker Train Blues- love the siren in the beginning, just a bad ass song
*Do It for the Kids- like the beat, but not the song
*Big Machine- beginning reminds of unglued
*Illegal i Song- nice
*Spectacle- it's ok
*Fall to Pieces- like the songs meaning, hate the video.
*Headspace- it's ok
*Superhuman- LOVE
*Set Me Free- it's great for the movie, but i don't care for it
*You Got No Right- reminds me of adhesive love sometimes, LOVE!
*Slither- Love!
*Dirty Little Thing- good song
*Loving the Alien-ok

Music Videos

Slither- love the underground concert aspect, gothic vibe

Fall to Pieces- love how the video portrays things, but I won't watch it.

Dirty Little Thing- liked the animation.

"Regenerate the impoverished souls/ That echo you" The Shangri-la dee da review

Shangri-la dee da was the 5th album released by Stone Temple Pilots in 2001. I believe is a very underrated album. At times i think it's a combination of Core and Purple musicality elements but new songs.  Musically its great the guitars are phenomenal.

Review of  Shangri-la dee da

*Dumb Love- reminds of sex type thing in the beginning. Really needed a bullhorn.
*Days of the Week- reminded of the Beatles.
*Coma- LOVE LOVE LOVE. A combination of core/tiny music album elements.
*Hollywood Bitch- LOVE LOVE LOVE.
*Wonderful- call response of still remains in my opinion
*Black Again- Love how fit's musically and just an amazing song.
*Hello It's Late- LOVE LOVE LOVE. very led zeppelin.
*Too Cool Queenie - reminds me of art school girl
*Regeneration- THE BUILD  IS SO SIMPLE BUT AMAZING! They are gods, when they are working together. The break they have were it's a fake end is similar to the one in Plush. My Favorite song
*Bi-Polar Bear- I like this song because you really get to understand how Scott feels about being Bi polar and his experience with it.
*Transmissions From a Lonely Room-
*A Song for Sleeping- Scott's song for his son. Love
*Long Way Home- LOVE LOVE LOVE. The solo at the end AMAZING, helped tie in the album and end it on a high note.

Music Video

Days of the Week- funniest video I've seen. Scott being bored playing with his lip and dean freaked out by Scott's dancing.

"Will you follow me Down" and the No. 4 Review

No.4 was ironically the 4th album from Stone Temple Pilots in 1999. STP was on a hiatus it seemed forever and Weiland's jail time. Only reason I ran and bought this CD was because of the Sour Girl video I had seen and how obsessed I was with him, again.

Review of No.4

*Down- YES, a thousand times yes. LOVE
*Heaven & Hot Rods- Love
*Pruno- Love
*Church on Tuesday- very catchy and always remember the beats to this song.
*Sour Girl- FAVORITE SONG!
*No Way Out- Love
*Sex & Violence ok, but such a dark lyric "Forever sleeping you won't stop breathing"
*Glide- another one similar to still remains
*I Got You- Love
*MC5-ok
*Atlanta- LOVE! i replayed this song a million times.

Music Videos

Sour Girl- LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Down- it's such a minimal video but I love it. 

"I am smelling like rose" the Core Review

Core was the debut album from Stone Temple Pilots, and it's an AMAZING ONE! I can never get enough of this album. This album took forever for me to find, even though a million copies were sold. Favorite songs, about the whole album. The only song I've disliked partially was Naked Sunday. But probably my favorite- favorite would have to be between Crackman and Dead and Bloated, but then I love listening to Plush too.

Weiland and his bullhorn

 All songs have clear meanings:
-Naked Sunday- organised religion
-Wicked garden-lose of innocence and purity
-Sin- bad relationships
-Sex type thing- man's attitude toward women and abusive power
-Dead and Bloated-fame, insecurity, bad relationship, and maybe abortion
-Piece of Pie- in my opinion against the male stereotype, refusing to be the male chauvinist "Don't wanna let me be a man, Don't want to lead to your home" (showing a push against the male stereotype and showing a woman she is more then an object)
-Creep- social isolation
-Crackerman- has been debated to either be about a drug dealer or wanting to use "crack",
-Plush- the band says that it's about a rape/murder in San Diego
-Where the River goes- mortality, where will end up when you get judged, etc.

 If STP were to come back I think they should do an album similar to this because now at days rock is lacking greatly and we need some GREATNESS!

Review of Core

*Dead & Bloated-LOVE LOVE LOVE! and it's amazing song, more BULLHORN! Chills, how great this song is.
*Sex Type Thing- LOVE LOVE LOVE!
*Wicked Garden-LOVE LOVE LOVE!
*No Memory (instrumental)-LOVE! 
*Sin- another love, been playing this over and over again. love the break sounds Indian and great vocals, from low to mid range.
*Naked Sunday- only portion I don't like is the preachy section at the end of the song, otherwise this song rocks.
*Creep- I was always on the fence about this song, sometimes I'd like other times I wouldn't. Now at days love it.
*Piece of Pie- Probably my favorite song to date, been playing this over and over again. Even though I love this album, I've been really liking this song recently. Love the chords that go down during the chorus. I love all the catchy songs STP have made with the good hooks and the lyrics you will remember forever. It's staring me down/wearing a crown of APATHY!
*Plush- LOVE LOVE LOVE! Love his voice in it too. Also love the Unplugged version
*Wet My Bed- The most random-est track but it's funny. Story behind this track is Scott and Robert were goofing around when they made it. Creepy, but love how it ties into the next song.
*Crackerman- LOVE! First time I heard the Wieland bullhorn effect!
*Where the River Goes- I've also been playing this song non-stop. Loved it in my younger days too. Vocals rock!

Music Videos

Plush: won the 1994 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance. Stone Temple Pilots also won the MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist award at the 1993 MTV Music Video Awards.

Wicked Garden-the beginning  of this video reminded me of Soundgarden's Black Hole Sun video

Sex Type Thing- still love this video

Creep- Emo Scott is Emo

50 Shades of Weiland

No this is not a post on 50 Shades of Gray. This post is about Weiland's fashion and hair styling. My favorite time period for Weiland was during the early 90's. During this time period he still looked healthy, even though it was the beginning of his drug use. My  second favorite time for him was during the release of STP 4th album and the Sour Girl video.He's had millions of different looks through out the years, especially with his hair. He's not just a chameleon in his voice. He may be in his 40's but he still oozes cool, rocking those aviator shades.

I will be showing his hair styles and some of his fashion choices (on the bottom).

VIP Meet & Greet!

I have an amazing opportunity! At Scott Weiland's Purple to the Core Tour there is an option to do a VIP Meet and Greet! I've just ordered my ticket, and I am so excited to meet him. Included in the Meet & Greet is  meeting him, a picture together, a autographed poster, and a VIP Laminate. I can not wait to meet Mr. Weiland, it's been a lot of years being a fan and dreaming of this opportunity. Will post about it after the concert!

THE CONTROVERSIAL Sex Type Thing

Sex type thing. The song that made headlines in the 90's. A portion of the song: "I am a man, a man/I'll give ya somethin' that ya won't forget /I said ya shouldn't have worn that dress" Critics say the song is about rape when it's actually about the awareness of date rape.  The video is dark within itself, elements of BDSM, a girl being hung by chains, etc. This video was the first video to showcase Wieland's trademark "dance" .

A screenshot from the video:

 Due to the attention of this song, STP was always defending their song. Weiland constantly defended this song to the point  of wearing a grandma dress from the 60s at a live performance. As stated by Weiland "This song is really not about sex at all. It's about control, violence and abuse of power."

Over the years Sex Type thing had become the traditional closer at concerts. The band would extend the bridge into a jam session, where Weiland would strip naked in front of the audience and then wrap his lower body in an American flag. I have seen that spectacle at one concert I was at.  Over the years he would also wear  sequined dresses, finely coiffed wigs and elbow-length evening gloves.

"But sun stole away" the review of 12 Bar Blues

12 Bar Blues, was Scott's first journey into his solo career. Interesting fact is he played all the instruments on the album. ALL! The one song I played over and over again, was "Lady, your roof brings me down". I loved it, it so quirky and  the accordion makes it seem like something out of a carnival. I always thought of him from the Lady Picture Show video, when I listened to this track. This song made into the Soundtrack for the movie "Great Expectations". The one song that made more news was Barberella, just for the oddity of the video. Scott portrays an alien stuck on earth waiting to get rescued by Barberella.

Review of  12 Bar Blues

* Lady, your roof brings me down- Love this! Favorite song.
* Cool Kiss- reminds me of Orgy, and I adore it. Love the darkness of it. He needs to do more like this in my opinion.
* MockingBird Girl- I liked this song, and heard he's been singing it on his new tour.
* Oposite octive reaction- reminds me of songs from Tiny Music album
* Where's the Man- a very underrated song in my opinion. Song always makes me emotional. Similar to Creep
* The Date- another dark one, and love the rawness of it.
* Son- this song is for his son zach.
*Jimmy was a Stimulator- it's ok.
*Barberella- You can hear the isolation, angst, and desperation in his voice. Love the chord changes. The break in the song at 3:19 reminds me of the Doors Moonlight Drive
*About Nothing-This song also reminded of Orgy, with a mix of David Bowie

*There was no full album on YouTube. This link is to my favorite song that is put on a 
12 Bar Blues Playlist.

Music Video

Barberella- The video explains it all. Hate his hair and way to skinny.

"Pick a flower, hold your breath and drift away." The Review of Purple

 Purple was the second album released for Stone Temple Pilots. When we bought cassettes for STP, it was Tiny Music 1st, Purple 2nd, Core 3rd (which took forever to find), and then followed with their other album releases. Also listen for the hidden track. This album has many recognizable songs. Just recently I've fallen in love with the song Still Remains. I never really recalled listening to it when I was younger, but amazing in my opinion. Ever since I heard Scott's on tour, I've been listening to every album daily and brushing up on my Purple and Core albums.

Review of Purple

*Meatplow- Just love it.
*Vasoline- a very recognizable song and I love it.
*Lounge Fly-  I love this song, other then the F-bombs making it edgier. I believe Robert did the guitar for this track, and it was phenomenal.
*Interstate Love Song-This is a very recognizable song, that's been played on the radio for years. I like the country twang and the video was awesome. I learned more about this song when reading about it Scott's memoir.
*Still Remains" - sadly I never remember this song, but recently listening to this album, I came to love this song. Scott is a great lyricist. This song is up their on my list, tie between this and sour girl. Why was there no video for this!!!
*Pretty Penny"- I never liked this song, but love the instruments, between the bongos, tambourine, and guitars. the word that comes to mind Transcendence.
*Silvergun Superman- Another song I love, the guitars are so sick on it.  
*Big Empty- this song is famous because it was put in the movie "The Crow", reminds me of Plush and Creep sometimes.  
*Unglued- So catchy!
*Army Ants- I never cared for this song, but love Scott's vocals how they change from his mid range and then a bit of grittiness.  
*Kitchenware & Candybars- I adore this song. Very powerful. STP has a way of evoking emotions.

Music Videos

Vasoline- great

Interstate Love Song- I've gotten this confused with Lady Picture Show, because of the black and white. Love seeing the band mates having fun and Scott driving in the car.

The Chameleon

The Chameleon. This post is about Scott's gift as a singer. You know you a hearing Weiland singing either his the growls of his low baritone voice (Sex Type Thing/Plush) or his nice mid range (Creep), this man got a voice . Sadly he has been compared to of Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder and Nirvana's Kurt Cobain. I both love Vedder and Cobain, but I don't think his styling came from them.  This mans voice is amazing in my opinion how he can hit some notes! I love when sings with that raspy-ness, like in  Sex Type Thing or Dead & Bloated. I have never heard such different vocal ranges come out of the mouth of this man. I disliked his voice during his time with Velvet Revolver, it was unrecognizable in my opinion. He's greatest was the early 90;s during the Core/Purple. He can still hit those ranges today.  This video below truly depicts what Weiland is capable of doing, there are nothing holding this man back.

Going into the big debate of Chester now being the front man of STP. (If you did not the other members of STP fired their front man, STP- Scott= No STP) I cringe every-time I hear Chester belt our an STP song, I know he is doing the best he can in his range, but he's basically trying to copy Wieland's vocals. Don't get me wrong, I love Chester and Linkin Park, but it does not fit him. He's a great screamer, but he voice does not stay at the same register. I feel like in dead an bloated he's just gonna cut in with Crawling He's good with Likin Park, and Weiland with STP! In Dead and Bloated Scott is at a Baritone level through, and stays in his range. Look at the difference between "I am smelling like a rose on birthday death bed". Whereas Chester goes low and then back to his mid range. I'm still disgusted at what his ex-band mates did to him.Guys just kiss and makeup all ready!

"Orange Crush" and review of Tiny Music from the Vatican gift shop

As stated from the last blog the first time i was introduced to STP was by seeing the Big Bang Baby music video. As a kid my only concern was the guy in the front singing in his black shirt and green pants (apparently Mr. Weiland was a hipster way before it was fashionable.) Speaking of fashion Mr. Weiland has had some interesting choices in clothing. While in this video the De Leoo brothers pay homage to 50 and 60 s style where the drummer kretz is being kretz. Visually wise this video at times reminded me of the Brady bunch, but the main message of the music business world was clearly stated.

Review of Tiny Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop: 

This album was the third for STP, and was a new avenue toward their styling and musicality. When compares to there alternative grunge-esque feel with their two albums before, this is a very melodic piece. This album also didn't recieve a lot of attention due to Wieland getting into trouble with the law and his "habits". I love this album it's like a Van Goguh painting, you never know where it's going to lead you next. On STP's Thank you album/DVD which contained there greatest hits, music videos, and concert footage has a video clip of them recording this album in the mansion they lived at together in Santa Barbra, CA.  I've always loved when STP placed an instrumental track onto their albums, and missed it when it wasn't in there fourth album No. 4. And the great thing is Tiny Music has two instrumentals. I think this album flows like a river from bank to bank, everything just ties in and melds together.  At times these songs reminded me of The Beatles. 

1.Press Play - instrumental, never liked the fade into the beginning of the song

2.Pop's love suicide- Awesome!

3.Tumble in the Rough- Love. To this day i know exactly when Big bang baby is going to play based upon the long outro of Tumble in the rough. 

4.Big Bang Baby- catchy lyrics and beats. Reminds me of the Beatles.

5.Lady Picture show- it's on my list. love

6.Trippin' on a whole on a paper heart- this song and big bang baby, made this album known.

7.And so I know- I like the song and has a jazz feel to it.

8.Art School Girl- in my opinion it's an ok song.

9.Adhesive- I love this song, the instrumentation and having the instead of his usual edgy/ruffiness shows his talents as a singer. 

10.Ride the Cliche'- ok.

11.Daisy (instrumental)- has a country twang to it.

12. Seven Caged Tigers- great closing song for the album

Music Videos

Big Bang Baby: Just LOVE <3

Tripping on a Hole Paper Heart: I love this video, and recently never knew that there was one for this song until I was watching the STP: Thank You DVD. 

Lady Picture Show. I loved how this video and interstate love song has the black and white

All things start with beginning.

FAN /fan/ N. A person who has a strong interest in or admiration for a particular sport, art or entertainment form, or famous person.

     I have been a fan of Stone Temple Pilots and Scott Weiland since I was kid. I remember the first video I ever saw which was Big Bang Baby. Big Bang Baby comes off of STP third album Tiny Music from the Vatican Gift Shop . Once I saw that video I was hooked. Posters and pictures on the wall. Tapes being blasted from the car speakers. Concerts to go too later on in life, etc. I have seen Wieland two times,  and this upcoming will be my third but without the other members of STP. 

     I have seen the tabloids plastered with his name fearful that an untimely death would come due to Weiland's drug addiction. The breakup's of the band. The new albums. Scott's solo career and new bands, to the STP reunions  But never once has my love waned for this rocker. Through different music genre's I was introduced to, i would always hear the cords to "Plush", the guitar riffs from "Dead and Bloated", or Weiland singing into his bullhorn in "Crackerman". One day I returned home to my rock music. This is my blog for the one band I have followed and never lost support for and the one man I became enamored for years to come so " sell your soul, and sign autograph, big bang baby, it's a crash, crash".
