So keep cranking it up.

And he just so happens to be a really funny guy.

I've had a Chance to hang out with him on a few different occasions because he's friends with a good friend of mine, Jason Beeler from Saigon Kick.

And I was able to kind of hang out with him for a couple of different occasions and really funny guy, really great, great guy.

Jeff Scott Soto, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Sons of Apollo.

Take a listen to this.

This is Saigon Kick with Freedom.

Locked up inside your alibi

Okay, so this is really a little bit before we started the magazine, but it's still the 90s, and it still felt like little victories.

You know, grunge has taken over and is doing great and is all the rage, but there are some late-period hair metal victories that still felt, you know, at least at the time it might have felt like... big drop off but now looking back you know knowing how hard it really was for bands to get gold and platinum records um looking back it's still cool that it happened so it's really cool that saigon kick with the lizard which is more like alternative metal it's pretty noisy sounding it's pretty pretty rough and raw um but melodic at the same time creative we like that about it cool band, you know, weird, weird band name and weird, uh, you know, the lizard for the album, but it goes gold.

Pretty cool.

Uh, firehouse, hold your fire.

It's all that stuff that, you know, before you had that narrow margin of what 80s rock could be, right? And you had that 80s rock and then that one ballad, right? Yeah.

Like I said, it wasn't for bands like, you know, the aforementioned Saigon Kick and Xtreme.

I don't think this song would exist just because they were allowed to.

You can get a little more soulful.

It was number five and I wanted to, but this is an opportunity for me to have different songs that I would have never been able to talk about, but.

Lynch Mob is so incredible, and he is 100% right.

So 11 years old, just focused on girls, you know, not a thought in my mind about UFOs or aliens, playing with my He-Man toys, listening to my Saigon Kick and Alice in Chains.

And I hear this really deep hum that rattles my bones.

It's like a whoa, whoa, whoa.

Sorry for this crappy playing right now on the show.

Saigon Kick, Love Is On The Way.

That one just popped back in my head when I was doing the Silent Lucidity earlier, because I was thinking about riffs, and I remember hanging out with my buddy Brian, and I would play that riff when we'd be playing guitars together, and it would drive him crazy, because I would just suddenly start playing Saigon Kick, Love Is On The Way.

I would play that while we were trying to play cool stuff, like Metallica, Megadeth, you know.

But I would just whip out the...

If you, if you search deep and dark enough, yeah, you'll find a lizard that I...

Saigon Kick had a record called The Lizard, uh, early '90s.

Remember Saigon Kick?

Yeah.

I didn't know they had a record called that.

Um, he grew up in West Philly, began to play the drums at the age of 13.

In the early '90s, Sam played in the South Florida band The Holy Terrors, and was part of the same music scene that produced Marilyn Manson, Jack Off Jill, Saigon Kick, and The Mavericks.

And Marilyn Manson actually asked Sam Fogarino to join his band-

Wait, what?

So it has occurred to me that a lot of the songs I played back then when I started, ones that were very popular, huge hits at the time, have just kind of disappeared.

Whither Del Amitri? Saigon Kick, hello.

Saigon Kick.

Roll To Me is a great-

Something in the-

It is a disturbing music video.
