>> I JUST HAD TO COME ON PROPER.
>> James: I LOVE IT, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE, HOW ARE
YOU?
>> I'M DOING WELL, I'M OKAY, HANGING IN THERE.
TRYING TO GET THROUGH THIS THING THAT WE'RE ALL DEALING WITH,
THIS COVID STUFF.
>> James: OF COURSE, BECAUSE YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE ON A
HUGE TOUR THIS SURMER, YOU MOTLEY CRUE, I THINK DEF
LEPPARD, POISON.
THAT TOUR WAS GOING TO TAKE UP THE ENTIRE SUMMER.
HOW HAVE YOU BEEN FILLING YOUR TIME?
>> OH MAN, IT'S, YOU KNOW, I WILL TELL YOU, JAMES, BECAUSE
I'VE BEEN ON THE ROAD REALLY SINCE I'M 17.
>> James: YEAH.
>> WITH THE RUNAWAYS.
AND THIS IS LIKE MY FIRST SUMMER THAT I'M NOT ON THE ROAD.
AND ST REALLY, REALLY WEIRD.
YOU KNOW, ST HARD TO DEAL WITH.
AND YOU KNOW, YOUR WORK IS GONE, WHAT YOU DO, WHAT YOU LOVE, IT
IS THE WORK, IT IS PRETTY WEIRD FEELING.
SO I AM JUST TRYING TO LOSE THE COVID WEIGHT THAT I HAVE GAINED
SITTING AROUND.
YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T REALIZE HOW MUCH YOU MOVE ON THE ROAD.
WALKING THROUGH AIRPORTS, WALKING TO THE VENUE AND THEN
THE GIGS.
BUT STILL A LOT OF MOVEMENT.
AND THEN A LOT OF SITTING AROUND IS REALLY NOT CONDUCIVE.
BUT YOU KNOW, I'M TRYING TO GET OUT AND NOTICE OTHER THINGS AND
ENJOY THE NATURE, YOU KNOW, I LIVE BY THE BEACH SO THAT IS
NICE.
>> James: COMPLETELY, AND YOU ARE PERFORMING TONIGHT, THE T
REX STONG JEEPSTER, HOW BIG OF AN INFLUENCE WAS MARC BOL AN AND
T REXON YOU?
>> HUGE, HUGE, THEY WERE PROBABLY ONE OF THE FIRST ROCK
BANDS THAT I GOT INTO WHEN YOU ARE THAT AGE, WHEN YOU GO FROM
PREPUBERTY TO ACTUAL PUBERTY AND THEN FROM LISTENING TO THE
OSMOND BROTHERS INTO T REX.
ST SOMETHING, YEAH, HE WAS BIG, HE WAS BIG AM I LOVED HIM.
HE WAS MY FIRST CRUSH.
SOMETHING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, HE WAS A BOY BUT HE DRESSED LIKE A
GIRL.
IT WAS ALL, YOU KNOW, INTRIGUING, FASCINATING.
AND THE MUSIC IS JUST GREAT AND INSPIRED ME TO PLAY, TO LEARN TO
PLAY, AND OTHER SONGS ON THE RADIO.
SO I WENT AND BOUGHT THE ALBUMS.
SO HE TAUGHT ME HOW TO SCREAM, YEAH.
>> James: THAT IS AMAZING.
NOW T REX WILL BE INDUCTED INTO THE ROCK 'N' ROLL HALL OF FAME
THIS YEAR.
YOU WERE INDUCTED A FEW YEARS AGO, TALK TO ME ABOUT THAT
NIGHT.
WHAT WAS THAT NIGHT LIKE FOR YOU?
>> IT WAS SO SURREAL.
IT WAS VERY EMOTIONAL.
BUT I WILL TELL YOU, JUST HEARING WHAT OTHER PEOPLE HAD TO
SAY.
AND IT IS REALLY HUMBLING, SO HUMBLING, I FOUND IT.
AND WHEN I CAME OUT ON STAGE, I CRY, VERY EASILY.
SO I WAS GOING TO TRY TO DO IT WITHOUT DOING THAT.
BUT I CAME OUT AND FIRST PEOPLE I SEE ARE PAUL MCCARTNEY AND
RINGO STARR SITTING IN THE SPHRONT FRONT ROW.
AND AS SOON AS I CAME OUT THEY STOOD UP.
AND THEN EVERYBODY ELSE STOOD UP.
SO THEY START THE STANDING OVATION.
AND IT WENT ON FOR A LITTLE BIT.
AND I STARTED CRYING, YOU KNOW.
I START-- I IT WENT RATE BACK TO MY BEDROOM LISTENING TO
McCARTH NEE, LISTENING TO-- I HAD THAT ALBUM AND THINKING
ABOUT HOW, YOU KNOW, THEY ALL CYCLED AROUND AND IT IS JUST
MIND BLOWING, YOU KNOW.
IT WAS SURREAL, MAGICAL, FEELING.
>> James: NOW THIS ALBUM IS OF COURSE PRODUCED BY OUR DEAR,
DEAR FRIEND, THE LATE HAL WILNER, TALK TO ME ABOUT HOW,
AND WHAT HE WAS LIKE TO WORK WITH.
>> WELL, I DIDN'T KNOW HAL WELL BUT WHAT I KNEW OF HAL, HE WAS
SO PASSIONATE ABOUT MUSIC IN GENERAL.
BUT ALSO ABOUT THE PROJECT.
AND SO I SAW HIM ACTUALLY, HE WAS IN THE STUDIO WITH ME DOING
SOME VOCALS, WHEN I WAS SINGING VOCALS.
>> AND I THINK THERE IS A VIDEO OF IT.
THAT IS ACTUALLY WHEN I GOT TO HANG OUT.
WITH HIM AND HE WAS JUST A GREAT GUY.
A WONDERFUL MAN.
I WISH I HAD HAD MORE TIME TO REALLY TALK WITH HIM.
BUT I'M SO PROUD TO BE INVOLVED IN THIS SWRZ WELL, YOUR VERPTION
OF JEEPSTER IS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT.
HOW ABOUT HAVING JOAN JETT HERE, RIGHT?
ANYONE IN THE BAND GOT ANYTHING THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SAY TO
JOAN JETT?
>> MY SON IS OBSESSED WITH YOU RIGHT NOW, HE'S SIX YEARS OLD AM
I HAVE BEEN PLAYING HIM I LOVE ROCK 'N' ROLL.
>> HAGAR OUR BASS PLAYER.
>> HUGE MAN, JUST INCREDIBLE TO YOU HAVE.
>> James: GUILLERMO.

WITH HER LITTLE TENNIS RACKET.
