00:11It's actually two tattoo parlors and two bars, actually three, I just opened a new cantina in
00:17the Las Vegas Hilton. And yeah, I mean, it's, you know, I do things that I just enjoy, you know,
00:24and you know, with the nightclubs, you know, they're live music places where bands come and
00:29play. And, you know, dancing girls and having fun, you know, and tattoos are tattoos. And
00:37the Mexican, the cantina is, you know, it's the Tres Rios Cantina. So it's the name of
00:43my tequila. So everything all kind of mixes, you know, it all makes sense. Yeah, you can
00:49fly anywhere in these airplanes. Not just for bands. It's just that what it is, is, you know,
00:54you look at corporate jets and they all look the same. They're white, you know. Mine have
00:58hot rod flames on them, you know, and have, you know, leopard skin interior. I mean, they're
01:02still, you know, they're beautiful, you know, aircraft, but it's just a little more fun, you
01:08know. Yeah, we have like five shows here in Europe. And then, yeah, then we go like right
01:14from Finland to Sturgis for the big motorcycle rally. And then we start with Ozfest. And it's,
01:23Ozfest this year is only six shows. So we do these shows. And then I'm on my way with
01:30my band. It's really looking forward to it because Ozzy, you know, Ozzy made us what
01:36we are today. You know, he pretty much molded us. And even though it was a crazy tour, you
01:41know, we still learned a lot of things from Ozzy. And, you know, it's an honor to go back
01:45out with him again. It's going to be fun. Thing is, though, what happens with most bands is
01:48that, like you said, with the ups and the downs, you know, great highs and low lows, it's when
01:54the bands hit their first low lows, they give up. They break up and, you know, and they don't
01:59get it together. You've got to deal with the lows just like you do with the highs. You
02:02know, they're going to come. You can't stay on top forever. And every band that's been
02:07around for a long time has went through that. I mean, remember when the Aerosmith, you know,
02:12they did, remember that Done With Mears and Joe Perry was going, that was, you know,
02:18they couldn't sell out a phone booth, you know, but then they came right back, you
02:22know, and kept at it, you know, and same thing with Motley Crue. You know, we had
02:27the time, we were apart and it was a crappy time. But then we, you know, you got it
02:33together and now, you know, we have multi generations of fans and that's where the
02:39secret is in longevity is getting the next, you know, we have the, we not only have the
02:45fans that, you know, that, that grew up with us, but their kids and 12 year olds
02:50with the Shout the Devil shirts on and, and, and dads, you know, holding up their
02:55sons, you know, five year olds on their shoulders for the first concerts and lawyers
03:01standing next to tattoo artists, you know, it's, it's everything. It's, you know, I touched
03:06on those subjects on the dirt. I didn't get into a lot of detail and, and, and here I
03:10do, you know, it gets to the, you know, everything. Yeah, growing up in Compton and,
03:14and, you know, witnessing murders and things like that and growing up and the, the highs
03:21of my life, the lows in my life, you know, but it's not only just my voice, you know,
03:26the voices of my mom and dad, you know, ex-wives, you know, managers of guys in other bands
03:34that give views of my life the way they see it, good or bad. So it's pretty interesting
03:41that way. I didn't have to interview them. So that was a, you know, I was like, really,
03:46she talked to you, you know, when this guy, Mike Sager interviewed all these people and
03:51yeah, some, they didn't, a lot of people didn't have like good things to say, but that's the
03:55way they saw me in certain situations. And, you know, you can't put out a book, you know,
04:00like in the dirt, you know, you got to be brutally honest and you can't sugarcoat, you know, things.
04:06You've got to, you know, if you did something bad in a certain way, you've got to, you know,
04:10got to own up to it. I don't have time to stop, you know, because like, oh, you know,
04:15be out, you know, with these guys, with the, with the solo guys, you know, till the beginning,
04:19you know, maybe the middle of next, not middle of next year, but like, you know, early next year.
04:24And then I've got to start getting the Motley Crue thing rolling, you know, for, for next summer,
04:29for Crew Fest 3 and, and our, you know, 30 year anniversary. And usually those tours last for
04:36two years. So that's, you know, 11 and 12, 13, I want to put out another solo record,
04:42you know, all original one. And then, so that'll take me 13, 14, 15, be Motley again. So
04:48maybe 016, I'll take a little vacation.
