[In Studio]: Dave, Billy, Matt
[Guest(s)]: Harold Owens (MusiCares), Wayne Kramer (MC5), Tom Zutaut, McQueen
[Phone-Ins]: Alice Cooper
The first couple guests, Harold and Wayne, were on to talk about the MAP/MusiCares benefit coming up next week. While they were there, Alice Cooper, who is receiving the Stevie Ray Vaughn award, called in to talk a bit about his experiences of being under the influence and then becoming and staying clean. Since the event is sold out, there was one pair of tickets to give away, and instead of asking a question, they decided that they would just give them to the first caller.
For the last half hour, Dave was doing an interview in the other room, so Matt came in with Tom Zutaut and the English all-girl band McQueen. The first question Billy asked Tom was about the incident with Ingre Lorre where she urinated on his desk. Tom also mentioned how he tried to sign Jane's Addiction to Geffen, but David Geffen said something to Perry that made him "ghostly white," and Tom was informed the next day that Jane's had signed with Warner Bros.
[Quotes]:
"... And you're girl there who answered the phone, she was standing right in front of me the whole show." [caller, about Jess at the Roxy show]
"Oh, she's hot isn't she? Can you believe that we have to come in here and stare at this and look and not touch every week? It's really difficult for me." [Dave]
"That's what makes us professionals, you see." [Billy]
While talking to Alice Cooper about guitarists that went sober:
"And not only are these guys still doing it, but they're at the top of their game, ya know, and that's just a testament. ... Well, I remember listening back to old recordings of shows I used to do loaded, and I 'member, the moments on stage I believed that I was just the greatest guitar player anybody ever heard. I listen back now and I am just mortified." [Dave]
