00:00I have quite the metal conundrum right now.
00:03After we did the show, I mean, you know, playing with, you know,
00:06Phil Rex and Charlie when we did Pantera Celebration.
00:09It's always a blast.
00:10So we were up there.
00:11We did knock that out.
00:12I went back.
00:13I had to shave my legs and then put the kilt on.
00:15So I put on my Sabbath, the purple kilt, and then came out.
00:21And we were playing with the boss just to make sure.
00:23You know, I was just making sure, checking on him between me, Mike, Tommy,
00:27and Father Adam over there just to make sure he's good to go.
00:31When we were doing Mama, I'm Coming Home, I remember the Father Justin
00:34put the acoustic, he spiked it like he didn't put me near the microphone.
00:38So I'm like, the frigging acoustic's over here.
00:41And I had, like, the mic stands with that blue chair.
00:45And I'm like, oh, you've got to be kidding me, right?
00:47So we started.
00:49And I heard the boss, like, crack one of the notes.
00:52And I just go, all right, I have quite the metal conundrum right now.
00:58I mean, not a pickled conundrum, a metal conundrum.
01:02So I was like, how am I going to get the guitar over to here without stopping playing?
01:07You know, so I was just hoping maybe Chris Angel could advise me on some magic
01:12at this point to try and get the guitar to levitate over to here.
01:15But it was just I couldn't get in touch with Father Chris.
01:18So I had to manually pick up the guitar and I had to stop playing.
01:22So I was just like, how the hell would it, man?
01:24So I just, you know, I had to get the guitar over to the vocals.
01:27But, you know, just comedy, you know, because it's just like,
01:31here's the biggest show on the planet, right?
01:33And there's always got to be some Spinal Tap moments going on.
01:36It just, without fail.
