Live live on the metal voice. We're back We're back long awaited 1995 Time yeah, what it's been three months or four months since 1994 Really? Yeah. Yeah. I was processing that. Okay. Sorry goes by fast. That's the one tour. We stop You come back on to from tour. We start again. I appreciate the contingency Because what happened was me and Alan started this off, right Alan and then then during COVID we kind of added you on right? Yeah, and ever since it's now part of the the legacy of my shows. It's like, hey, we can't do it until everyone's schedule is It's groovy. Hey, it's a thing. It's Let's find out what's happening in Todd's world. Here's your chance to tell us all about your exciting life now Okay Well, we Geez, it's been three four months. So within that time we did a a headline tour for the new record the Queens Rite record and That was like six and a half weeks or so Sponsor, what's the feedback? It's been great. We played a lot of a lot of new stuff probably I don't know 40% maybe 50% it was a lot of a lot of newer stuff in my era with the band. We broke out some super deep classics We did deliverance. We did roads to madness child of fire Hmm road to madness. That's great. Yep. So we've been doing that then we were home for nine days and then we went on the monsters of rock cruise and You know that destroyed my voice because it's a five-day meet and greet essentially and so I came home and And then I'm going the new Barry White out. Yeah, you ain't good enough for Yola, babe and then I flew to LA and attended the armored scene documentary movie So that was really cool Got to hang out with those guys and they didn't even know I was coming. I didn't say anything and And So we did that hung out in LA for I don't know Four days or whatever it was and then flew home and my voice has still been Like messed up since the this actually sounds good In the show it may Be gone. I don't know but You know, we have a show in Oklahoma this Saturday. So I fly out Friday But other than that the short version is the band has one offs for the rest of the year some fly dates and then we have a Next year we have a couple cruises. We're doing back-to-back and then we are Going to be doing a tour and a ground tour, which will be a very special Thing that's happening that I can't divulge at this point in time, but it'll be a unique very cool special Tour that we're gonna do and I'm writing my second solo record every day Announcing that yeah every day. I'm picking up my guitar I got this really cool little 30 watt boss katana air amp and I have like one of my guitars Next to the couch here and instead of going into studio and hook and everything up I just when I have an idea in my head. I grab the computer grab my phone Record it and so I've got a bunch of ideas Craig's working on ideas so lots of stuff with that and You know next year is gonna be a really if you need any lyrical ideas like Me and Alan rope so dope we got them all we got all the rhymes me and Alan could bust a beat That's good. Yeah. I might I might needs need help But right now I'm in like a super creative musical turn it on right dude.  So when it happens I'm like I got to capture it now because the next day or two days I'll go into my recordings on my phone and I'll be like, oh my god I totally forgot I did that like I came up with that idea because you just they don't you don't remember them You know when you're constantly having ideas in your head you're on to the next thing and so I've been doing that and Haven't seen the band since the cruise Haven't really talked to anybody because we're just you know, we were out for a couple months And so and I'm here with you guys now. So You know, good Aldo Nova said, you know, he's sleeping in the middle of the night And then at four in the morning he gets up and he just runs to the studio and he starts jamming because Yeah, I guess right dude. You got it.  It's still rock and kind of metal but I'm having a really good time just in this creative Environment that my headspace is in right now. So hopefully I can get a record written by the end of the year and Recorded and maybe a release next year. That's I'd like to just keep plugging away at it. Wow. Yeah Yeah, okay Good news. Yeah. Thank you. And you could pick up the the the first Tadlatori soul soul album And it's released on vinyl limited edition. You still have any if you left So the white vinyl You know, I think that the label Joe at Rat Pack I he probably might have some I don't know and then of course I did two limited vinyls in Europe There's a red and white kind of splattery blood splatter, and then there's a red and so those are super there was only 200 and 300 I can't remember which one had The two or 300 but that was through a rock of angels records that we did we did a deal with them for Europe So people can go to rock of angels or roar on Facebook and and they have all their links and stuff But that's pretty much it man. Just really kind of Enjoying these these pockets of time at home because we we don't have that many shows for the rest of the year Like 20 20 something so it's you know home for a week or two weeks and then fly out then home for another Five days and out then home for two or three weeks. So Try to get a lot done in that in that in those gaps Great. Yeah, that's a good segue into the top ten albums of 1995 Although discretionary to say some of them are top but the top that we could Come up with and surely there are People out there watching that are gonna go What the fuck? Why did you mention this band or this band and sorry like there's Alan, please please advice Todd our list is the only list and there's no other list that matters You know what? Hey, no, here's here's my advice You put in the legwork for years and years create your own show You can have your list and then we can sit back and go did you didn't come up with this record? So we would love to hear your list on your show, but right now This is the matters. This is the only list that matters. That's how I look at it. Yeah, kind of yeah We'll the to say it's our list is strong there. I think and Jimmy did a good job Jim Jimmy Jimmy may be Alan Alan What what what usually we have this back and forth the valid as his you add yours I'm kind of like the middleman here and sort of Synchronizing everything and I send Alan what Todd wrote and now I'm back and forth this time. Nobody wrote me back You were like we're gonna do the albums of 95. I'm like we're there. Okay? Run that run that list by me and I'll review them and we'll do the show Alan what should I put as number two? Whatever you watch it We're not that we don't have the Choice that we did that same 97 and 87 so oh the the the pool of Records in those other years are just so vast and it's like that's a real that that's when we have good arguments, right? This is just like You know it was hard to come up with something that we were like Yeah, I mean there's some stuff in there We totally like stand behind but there's some other it's just hard to here's what it was for me I don't remember anything That really blew me away in 95 doesn't mean there weren't records that were great but at that point in time I Mean, I don't even think I was listening to a lot of stuff I think I just kind of packed my drums away was very uninspired by what was going on with that music and I was listening to Aldi Miola and Strunzen Farah and Folenco stuff and like old-school slayer and just like all that that's so Interesting that you mentioned that because in 1995. I would say the same thing. I stopped listening For a metal a little bit. Yeah completely But I started changing and what I like because the big machine out there was telling us on the radio and In the albums and what it was available. There wasn't anything available. You really had to dig It literally went underground the listing to this list today. I listed all the album Man people are angry in 95. That's what I took away from all these albums Yeah, one constant thread amongst them is people are really angry and aggressive This list so yeah, it was it was more aggressive for sure some dark darkness darkness. That's a good word Yeah, but darkness not wearing cardigans and looking like mr. Rogers on acid But if we go back to 1995 what it was there was a recession A global recession probably worse probably in Canada than it was elsewhere But there were times are tough people were trying to look for jobs, you know It was depressing times And with and then metal was sort of like way out of the picture all the bands got fired from the labels or let go hair metal was Vanished but Germany on the other hand there was something boiling in Germany Germany and metal people bands were like Saxon. They were going to Germany. They're touring Germany everybody was going to Germany and bands were sort of still Inspired to write metal music and then new genres were appearing, right? Yeah, new metal Industrial but you know at that point in time Like all of that Derivative regurgitated glam stuff needed it needed to go away It like shit needed to happen and yeah, so you know That's kind of great metal cleanse the great metal cleanse. That's what happened and you know what? People blamed hair metal, but you know what? I think people had enough and you know what? Well, it wasn't Yeah, it did in my opinion the The it became stale and again just derivative. There was nothing That's how I feel about a lot of metal today. I love metal.  There's no great memorable I don't walk away humming a melody It's just all about how brutal and scary and whatever everybody could be and it just there's nothing geyser butler was a geyser geyser butler was interviewed I think for the um the deo doc the new deo documentary And he was asked about Metal I think I had seen like a q&a he did and he was asked about what he thought about metal today and he was like I don't hear any real Like it doesn't sound I'm paraphrasing, but it was something to the effect of I'm not hearing anything New sounding or inspiring sounding or musical sounding. It's like you can be heavy and still be musical and have space and And I just so what was happening with that whole la they're the glam that whole glam thing It just had run its course and everybody sounded the same and to me a lot of metal Just kind of sounds that way to me. There are those other bands that poke out But generally speaking Yeah, sometimes that cleansing needs to happen and then something fresh comes and you're like wow check this out And then it inspired then it's inspiring.  How are you? All right, me and farah. I see Good That's that's what on alan's tombstone. It's gonna say All right, number 10, let's start this list. We got uh, we got to go through the list Number 10 alan I'll let you I put down the fear factory de-manufacture Because there it is. No, we can't go with uh all these old guys jimmy loves grabbing the old guys I'm surprised king diamond. Oh, maybe a woman. I don't know But uh, you know, we got to get some of the new bands and I remember that they were quite popular at the time I mean grit versus technology man versus machine sound They had their own thing happening. So I decided to put them on it. All right. Good. Good. You know what alan? I think it's a good choice I put the first three songs on I go. This is not for me But it's for someone out there and considering this album when you look up. Where's the book alan? Where's the book? I got it. I got the bible. Let's take a let's take Let's take a look at where this album lands Take a guess. You'll never get a belief number 354 Todd give me a number What is it top 500 500? I like fear factory, but I'm gonna I don't know I'm gonna say in the 400s number 21 out of 500 Yeah, yeah See the reason why zeppelin of the 90s the reason why I put that so low is I'm looking at the landscape of We're not talking about the band. We're talking about the record, right? Yeah. Yeah, that's way higher than I ever would have imagined Yeah And I mean look I couldn't get past song three But you know what I'm kind of looking past me And I'm thinking about what the time was and what music people were interested in and it was to your point Todd It was something refreshing in a sense, right? It was something different. It was something different. Yeah, and and and those guys are kind of known for pioneering or creating that sound where again, you've got the kick drums and the guitars all in unison You know that whole That kind of sound they kind of are noted as starting that type of sound for what their their band sounds like so You know and they're still they're still out there doing their thing and I would say among all of the other stuff that was out there in 95 probably was refreshing I had I I had a fear factory CD in my vehicle around Probably around 96 or 7. I don't know which record it was but Yeah, it was something different uh from everything else. I was hearing Yeah, there we go. Yeah. All right. So that's it. I have nothing further to add I don't either And I think our list consists of sales. What was popular and critically acclaimed that's that's your list. That's the criteria Well, that's kind of everybody. That's what's what a topleton list is right critically acclaimed Something that's aged very well over the years Something that did well at the time and something that represents that era Right, and I think those are the things that we're looking at or I'm looking at. Yeah. Yeah Well, you're not looking at it. Someone's got to look at it All right, here we go All right, the next human number nine get the graphics up. Here we go. I came up with the New Orleans bass down and the album's nola I mean, this is groove ad infinitum. I mean, this is the grubiest thing. I think on the list Are the fan of hell yet? Yeah years later and I think this this falls into the same kind of groove infectious And again aggressive really dark and aggressive But I was surprised. I'm glad we're doing these lists. Here's a here's a band I didn't really hear of and I really like this album though Yeah, I mean they were They were uh Had that dirty raw sound And of course, you know with phil. I mean in 95, you know with pantera was just, you know, huge um You were like, wow, what okay, what is this pantera singer doing in a like a side band or another band? and People were curious to hear what it was about Definitely had that sludgy raw kind of This was an extension to pantera. That's how I always looked at it like, you know, it's just an extension of that style Yeah, yeah, you know, that's that's what it was had that had that rock It had the southern Metal things still in there. Yeah kind of raw and dirty Yeah Again, not something that I gravitated towards but people love this album when you ask people What is your favorite album the 1995 this one always seems to come up? So you got to listen to the fans, right? You got to listen to the fans and it did okay sales We go back to the bible. Where's the bible? This album made the top 500. Oh I'm guessing 436 That's pretty good Alan don't tell me 72 here 203 Wow, I'm really curious. What's in the 400s?  All right. So right number eight All right, let me get the graphics. Oh, I think I made a little change here Oh, I didn't advise you guys Well, then you need to Introduce it. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So number eight. This is an album that the screen is blank right now I will show a graphic This is an album that even though at the time was upsetting To some of these fans But over time people have grown to love this appreciate this replacement singer It was blaze bailey. It was the x-factor our maiden released When our in main was sort of like there Was it fear the dark No, no, it's no prayer fear the dark and then this album, right? and You know what things were tough for our in main. There's a band that everybody loves This is like the epitome of heavy metal But suddenly something just went completely wrong However, over the years people have gone to appreciate this album. A lot of these songs have made the set list in these last few years like sign of the cross Falling down and falling down and the butterfly one there the lortherings No, lorther the butterfly Those are the songs that are in the set list, you know and are in bruce's sing them and he's brought new life to these songs Sure, it was a muddy production sure it was a little more darker less heavy metal But you know what? It stood the test of time the songs that the test time could have been shorter. Yes Maybe you would have been higher on the list if it was shorter more punchier a little bit better production But you know what? Back to it stood the test of time guys I'll let ton go all right You know your net every band isn't going to make an outstanding record every time you're going to have some things that are like It's a good record But when you're trying to compare it to you know peace of mind or you know Power slave or seven son or killers or what you know, there's some that are just going to not stand hold up the same but they kept doing it they kept making records and You know big ass shoes to fill if you're blaze Bailey to fill You know not that I would know what that's like, but I could only imagine that that's probably probably not an easy feat and You know, but I love the I love those two songs that you mentioned and I have heard sign of the sign of the cross and falling down. I've I've heard bruce sing those songs and you know He's a very charismatic Projecting singer blaze is is a great singer What are you gonna do, you know, I mean They were still out there doing what they were doing And for for us metal fans and iron maiden fans We were just we were grasping and desperate for something from a band like this And I think among the landscape of what was out there You hear that and you're like, okay, maybe it's not Mind-blowing, but cool. I got something new from iron maiden, you know And that was like gonna hold us over I don't think it's as bad as people remember if you go but take the time to listen to it But then again, you know, we started listening to mating in the early 80s and now we're talking 1995 So there's a whole other generation that this might have been their introduction to iron maiden with this album Look, there's people that all have it learned of me in queens rake from A record that I did and it's like, oh my gosh You need to go back and listen to the warning and rage and like all these other records like You know So yeah, I mean, there's so much other great stuff before the new guy comes in that But hey, if that if you know iron maiden Still brought in younger newer fans and that was the singer that did it They still got somebody else to check the band out. So so I always say this I always say that steve harris was writing with bruce dickinson's voice But he had blaze bailey's voice and that's probably the biggest mistake When you're writing for this sort of high tenorish kind of voice and you have a baritone voice But kind of that's where the disconnect is and if you're really listening carefully They should have sort of tuned down a little bit more perhaps just to sort of fit more or you know In another key which is more fitting for his voice If you look at number the beast that kind of was written with Paul diana's voice because he was in the band for three years before that right? So you would think the songwriter is always thinking of the voice Whereas this case they should have written it with blaze's voice and it would have been a masterpiece Because blaze's got some incredible soul albums Well, that's my takeaway, but when you have a singer And a sound I would imagine steve is just gonna write with that in his mind anyway You're not right with the voice it right with the voice in the range in your head right when you're writing songs so Yeah, you have like an idea of of a yeah, maybe a melody or how that vocal approach is going to happen And when you have this operatic kind of power singer I would have to think that when you're creating crafting songs That's in the forefront of your mind And then you know blaze just has to try to deliver the best he can Yeah, and he told us that he wish you know when he played the shows and he was playing the songs from bruce dickinson era He wished they would have sort of like brought it down to another key or tuned it down To fit more his voice because he was kind of out of his reach in that range that that sort of those hired notes that he couldn't reach So it didn't sound as great live and that kind of didn't help the situation either added pressure to the band However saying that sign of the cross the lord of the flies man on the edge Blood on the world's hands fortunate of war looking look for the truth and judgment of heaven Fantastic socks, and you know what you could put them on today and like alan said you could appreciate them more today More of a prog rock album in a sense Guys, so did you swap number seven number seven it is. Yes. Yes. I did so, you know, it's good Yeah, okay. Thanks. Thanks for the heads up I just told you go ahead We're good at number seven. All right. No, that's number seven. You know what's coming though, right? All right, let me just Get it ready It's a lot of work behind the scenes that I do here. Okay number seven you ready Alan you want to do an intro to this or here it is anthrax stomp 442 Is it 442? Or is it 422 or 442? Alan, what do you think? um Yeah, I mean I see I was trying to get newer bands and they're not not going back to a lot of the older bands These are some of their weaker albums. I think this is personally one of anthrax's most difficult listens for myself You got john bush who still sings unbelievable to this very day And you got music that he's supposed to sing to you know sounds he maybe Henry Rollins should have done this album, you know Like you've got this Pavarotti and you're putting him with It's really harsh and again aggressive and very harsh almost I don't know what to even describe the first couple of songs. I mean just really It's very aggressive machines. I guess it would call it It's super dirty sounding. It's like really gritty and dirty and harsh almost And you've got john bush you've got john bush. Let him go man. Let him let him do his thing Yes, like I don't know what you guys are listening to like i'm listening to an alum. That's great gritty dirty But john bush is delivering he's it suits his style man. It's this is metal man This is metal with a mix a bit of that southern rock. Maybe you hear in pantera Hey, he's a way more melodic singer than what that Was giving him musically in my opinion if you listen to armored saint, dude, there's space It's heavy, but in a totally different way This was just very like percussive and you know, it just maybe maybe I don't know It just called for a different vocal delivery And of course, we all love john. He's a killer singer but Not if not i'm not really a Guys, i'm not hearing what you're hearing. It's percussive. That's a good word. This whole album is percussive We all love charlie benanti. I'm sure but it just man, there's no variation is Oh, Jesus you guys hit you. What do you mean? Like the first four songs are hitting you hard, but they're melodic When you listen to the angry and it's a perfect It's a great album. Like it's not perfect when you listen to the sound of white noise And then you listen to this They're not even on the same sphere, dude Oh man, you guys I mean I could tell you right now. I'm gonna tell you random acts of census violence Maybe maybe it's the red elbow song Maybe it's new king size riding shotgun And you know, there's even a little bit of maybe a little bit of pearl jam sort of at the end there, but Bottom line is I think this is such an underrated album. Yes Todd you maybe it's a Maybe it's just the the sonic The sounds of the songs and how they're recorded and the mixing and all that it just sounds shrill and harsh and gritty and dirty and maybe if it had a Different production Those songs would translate different to me. I don't think it's awful By any means. I'm just saying it's it's after two songs. I I don't know that I want to hear anymore. It's like kind of fatiguing to me Yeah, I felt the same way when it was released. I felt the exact same way But over the years as I listened to it could be I go what this is really a good album And they really went out of the box and super aggressive. It's yeah Again, I'm not saying it's bad But you know, when you could I just think that He shined way more on the other album that I said sound of white noises is a masterpiece You know, there you go for that. I mean, it's it's it's phenomenal. It's hard to beat that album But let me tell you I think stop is great. That's just me. I just think it's it's so not just just to recap neither X factor iron made in nor this album made the top 500 Wow, I should have been at least 107 No, or is it a 400? It's not even a 400 is it? It's not even a 500. It's not even a 400 What are you not understanding? It's not even a 500. It's not in the book Just just on the book Bruce Dickinson He said that this album cover was supposed to be on balls to Picasso That was supposed to be the album cover for that but that didn't work out So and wal-mart banned it it says because it was a naked guy on the cover Little indian guy there at the little well, there goes hemispheres from rush, I guess well And uh And led zeppelin houses of the holy, right? Or the what was the scorpions album with the uh, all of them Mergy killer Like a like a 12 year old girl on the cover or something like that Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the worst one. That's oh my god. How can you even release something like Who's who's the photographer lock that guy up? Yeah, yeah, it was banned everywhere except for like maybe like two countries Strange enough. I'll tell you a real story. I bought it when I was like 15 Yeah, remember he used to be available and then they switched to just the generic photo of the band But now I won't well at hey at 15 a 15 year old looked okay to you At 50 a 15 year old that's so much. Yeah, it's not great. They should have never done that All right, let's get the number six there. All right, here we go. What do we add six? Hold on, I gotta grab my charger here All right, ready Alan It's still the same number six. That's still the same number six. All right, go boom. I put up the graphic go It's it's white zombie Astro creep 2000 Yep, that's what it is Number six number six. Todd, you want to weigh in on the white zombie there? Look, I think there's this whole new genre and this industrial groove that and I love that about the band white zombie Rob zombie It's just I find that when I listen to the whole album or I find I listen to a lot of their albums It just seems to be that same sort of groove over and over again Not to say the guy is a new genius the guy's smart He's got some great friggin grooves and music and it's interesting and it's refreshing It just seems like it's a little more repetitive the way till you get to number two It's very um palatable and commercial with that aggressive sensibility and Uh, there's he has pretty much just rights for that hook, right? So like More human than human that was on that record right massive massive hit That record also was the only record with uh john timpesta On drums he plays for the cult He he played with testament also. I think or was it slayer Don't remember. I can't remember. Yeah. Yeah, go ahead. I just ran into him at that documentary by the way He was like two rows behind me and here we are talking about him. But yeah, he uh You know, I mean they were they were a huge white zombie was massive It's two point six million copies in the us And I think I think I think like it charted number six. Let me see. Yeah. Yeah See if you can do a groove metal. Yeah, something like that. Look They were they were picking up the pieces of whatever was left in the metal world, right? For me listening to this album, it fits in perfectly in 1995. It's a perfect 1995 album If you look at the overall of our overall list and other things that were released Absolutely of it's of its time Yeah, yeah, so it it peaked at number six on the billboard 200 And it had more human than human supercharger heaven um So yeah among again with everything that was going on in 95 You know, he had this interesting look. He had this different sound that was kind of had a dance Yeah sensibility to it too, but it was like Kind of had that aggressive, you know, like a rock. I don't want to say metal But it had like it had that heavy kind of heaviness to it, but I mean, he was cutting through everything. He was, you know, massive with white zombie Yeah, big bad and and on a lot of metal tours too One was a few albums on our list. I made the top 500 Yep Was this one and where is it? I'm gonna say that's pretty I'm gonna say that's pretty high 65 I'm thinking it's a 65er, but I'm gonna I'm gonna go in the 40s 210 Oh, we're always wrong.  That's right So so Before we get to the other ones fear factory was the highest rated album Coming in at 81 in this list So Wow, the ones we'll see what else we come up with that might might have made the top 500.  That's something. Yeah, that says something Genre defining we can say, right And an album people still like love today, right? He's still filling up seats, right? I don't know if he's playing Is he playing arenas? I think he's playing arenas, right? Rob's He plays big big big shows. Let's read some comments All right, we shouldn't we haven't read any comments. Have we no before we get to the top five We're reaching out to the comments We're coming right back at you. It's a top five here on the metal boy. Julie saying all is a pretty sorry. Mr.  I just thought it was a you know, it's a back to the punk rock roots Stripping it down, right?  Those were the two bands sound garden. I never really got into um I never got into stone temple pilots. I never got so a lot of that stuff never got into nirvana Never never liked it to this day Now can't get into it you can add allison chains to that list for me I like nirvana never mind was a great album to this day. It's just it holds up I don't know why people will get so mad about it. I'm not mad No, not you personally. I'm just saying in general world They're so mad They're so angry. It's a great album. It's it's it's got hooks. It's got everything. It's man. It's getting to the top five They're suspenders killings. Okay. We're supposed to Look at Alan. What's in that friggin bottle that you're drinking? Well, there is jerry's got somebody making him supper. I gotta make my own here. All right. All right Well, no one linda tells me jimmy make your own supper. Oh, okay. I mean once she's already eating I could smell the food from the microwave Mm-hmm reheating reheating. Okay, here we go. What's next? I'll do it. Okay. Let's see One of my all-time favorite bands, although this is not this is not one of my all-time favorite records at all I own it. I don't play it um sabotage Dead winter dead Yeah, I I love sabotage this record to me I mean, it's a concept record, which is cool The compositions are like you have to be in the right headspace to just listen to this because There's some really deep compositions. There's a lot of orchestration um It's for me, it's it's like kind of a slow record There's like a lot of ballads and sad and like Moody stuff, but if you want to just put on like a rocker like This is not that record. It's way different. So you have to be in a different headspace But among all the sabotage records this this and like Was the other one handful of rain or something? I don't know It just doesn't hold up to saucer full of secrets Like, you know edge of thorns or you know hollow the mountain king and like stuff like that it's it's It's great in its own way, but for me it just I don't know. I kind of Lost Like it lose my attention, I guess Well, I don't know. I kind of You have to be in the right headspace if you have I agree you do have to be in the right headspace There's a lot of symphonic stuff going on. Yes, symphonic moody Demo dynamic dynamic stuff going on. It's a concept album and and I think it's a very touching concept album, you know This Bosnian war, you know and it's a girl Was it a sir boy and a Bosnian girl who sort of get together and think of think of The time right they had the Olympics or I think it was the winter Olympics Olympics in Sarajevo And it was the country was united and everybody was happy and then suddenly the Olympics were over And everybody started just killing each other in the streets after Yugoslavia collapsed. So And then you always have those two people from two the two sides of the argument sort of in love so I think it's a really interesting story and it it's a piece of history And I think it was done right and uh, yeah, it's not a metal album. It's not our idea You're not going to drive your car. You know, uh, I can't drive at 55 here, but right It's it's driving you're driving 30 in the school zone. You know what I'm saying? it's Yeah blindfolded it's very um it's very There's a lot into the song writing there. There's a lot Going on there. So so the the construction of the songs the writing itself all writing all the orchestrations like there's a A lot of talent a lot of stuff going on the record as a as a whole thing It just for me When i'm doing stuff around the house or I got in the garage working on things and I crank up a sabotage record I never play that record It just again, maybe if you were doing like a Long drive and it was the evening time and you're really in that space Then great, but if I just want to put on a great Rock and metal record that just again because it's so deep and That's all those things you talked about for me. It's not quite the go-to record for me I get your feedback thought on his on his vocals and his his uh performance and his Style you can say on Zach, right? It's not it. That's when they switch singers too, right? It's uh What's that not Zach Wilde? You're talking about Zach you're talking about Zach Stevens Zach Stevens. That's right. He took over for John on the vocals So he was having some vocal issues at the time So he kind of just let Zach Stevens take he he did lead vocals on a couple songs, but yeah, he he ended up kind of back in a way and um And Zach was you know, basically the lead vocalist for the band, but um Anyway, yeah Alan, did you like the album? Yeah, it was okay. Okay. Yeah. All right, seven sabotage records made the top 500 But this was not one of them Dead winter dad dead winter dad. There it is. See I own it. So I put my money where my mouth is. You see that? This is the time Okay Is john all of us still around? Yes, oh leave it. He's still around. He lives he lives in my area. Well Not that close. But yeah, he's I I could if I wanted um He's still around. He's you know, I think he's working on some other Savatage kind of music writing doing things good. So Yeah, all right. All right. You guys ready for the next one? Yeah, sure I find there's like a very 95 mood going on in this show today. What what depressing not not. Yeah, it's depressing You know, I just I'm not feeling it. I'm not feeling it. I don't know what it is 95 are all like downy Or you're all depressed listening to the music today. Listen to listening to bands that wear cardigan sweaters All right, here we go Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Okay. Alan you want to uh, ensure this one?  Oh for god's sake. Ozzy Osbourne osmosis Ozzy going grunge. What is this? Ozzy at number four? Ozzy Ozzy Perry Mason um I want you bringing in some writers some outside writers like jim valance To me this album Is it is it is best but you can see on the the fan polls that a lot of people like this album geezer butler is playing on this album as well So is so is uh Was it wakeman? Rick wakeman does a guest appearance on one song. I believe So there's a little bit of keyboards. Ozzy's kind of singing a little lower fits more in that grunge 1995 depressing mood Some cool tracks is the whole album great Not so much, but there's some really good songs like I want I want you and perry mason and i'm trying to think of the other ones um This is a seven studio album Oh dean castra vano castro novo castra. No castra. Novo. No drums on this castra nova Castra nova. Yeah from journey. Yes. Yes Um with rebel your revolution saints as well. Yeah new album came out recently. Yeah, so alan thoughts Well, you uh, you're uh, tozzy. Yeah, I mean This is one that completely lost in the shuffle but going back and listening to it I'm glad you put on the list. I gave me a chance to go listen to it. Are you sure? Is this a zax playing guitar on this I take it? Yes zax playing guitar So, you know, he's doing like I was there something like old la tonight and and there's some There's maybe seeds for black label society in there. You know, he's he's really got that's kind of a Country feel a country southern rock feel on that. He's playing with a lot of emotion not just speed So that was a pleasant surprise for me listening to this album ozzy's vocals. I think Some of the strongest. I don't know if it was sober at that time or not, but Just that's where I took away from it The record charted number four on the us billboard 200. Yeah. Yeah, it did well It did well Yeah, I mean it had it had you know some big singles on it And the product the production sounds killer.  I got it. Okay I mean, I don't know if there's keyboards on every song, but sure. Okay It sounded like and 12 pack is saying it sounded like all studio musicians to me could be I think there's a list This says that the producer played most of the keyboards on the record And rick wakeman played uh the melotron on the songs parry mason and I just want you So I don't know if he Where he's saying that wakeman played all the keys, but maybe he knows something we don't know maybe um I don't know. I bought it at the time. I I enjoyed the first three tracks And then it's kind of like yeah, the rest of it's all right. It's not the greatest album I'm trying to think I just want you ghost behind my eyes. Yeah, there's a lot of slow stuff my little man Tomorrow's good too. I mean I don't know. I mean, it's not as best. It's not as worse And it's so usually in the middle of the pack of the ozzy catalog People kind of like it because I guess parry mason is such a strong song I think that's probably his best song on the album and probably in that era I just think it's a great song overall I think it's exciting ozzy sounds alert You know, it's a great great sort of sound quality guitar riff. I don't know. That's just my thoughts and again, um the fact that somebody from the this rock metal genre is Still kind of big and out there during this Yeah in a dark period in rock and metal when everything was grungy and pop and rap and you know country and stuff that somebody still is Very huge and popular during that time is is awesome He's navigating those waters in these hard times, right big time He was like the only real metal guy left. Well one of the few I don't think of anyone else already made in they were kind of like sinking And ozzy was kind of just sort of just holding steady But and now scooper was around too, but overall, yeah, that's it. Allen order motorhead Well, there's a bunch.  No not on that not on that level. Yeah, all right. Here we go number three. You guys ready for this? But a boom. Let me see who it is Okay. Oh, yeah, go ahead Caring god to you and all the way in germany imaginations from the other side And I think it's important to put this album here I know alan you probably don't think it's important enough to put this out here But I think it's important because It says something about germany As the whole world was saying nay to metal or embracing Grunge and industrial, you know, germany was cranking out the songs They were cranking out the bands and like I said at the beginning of the show Bands were going to germany because it was still popular there So bands kept writing music and I think blind guardian Speed metal speed power metal european speed power metal writing quality riffs Great singing the vocals are still those power metal vocals. They're bringing something new to the mix So they're starting their own little german power metal genre that they took from maybe halloween and sort of, you know Extended let's say Carrying the heavy metal flag.  But you know what we're also looking at it from Well, you're canadian but from like an american american door, you know Our perspective not a european right because if you have this combo with a european They're gonna be like, oh my god, they're they could tell you 50 50 records from 95 that they think are like probably the holy grail We're talking about it from out from our environment here And and how we're experiencing this kind of music, right? Yeah, because there's so much that um And even american bands that Are way more popular in europe than they are in the united states So maybe we're not seeing what that reception is like over there. So people have to keep in mind. This is Maybe a slightly myopic viewpoint where we're coming from and let me add to that So today we're so used to okay I'll go to youtube i'll listen to a new band or a band from somewhere else that my friend told me about Back then napster kind of was starting, but it really wasn't There was still cd sales. So if you did not have an album Nobody knew who you were If you did not have the money to back your tour you couldn't go on tour Right, and if you didn't have that support by the record label, you couldn't do anything You can get into magazines. You couldn't do nothing So it was basically a standstill until napster kind of came in and spread this music globally In a sense right right and this part this person frank If i'm saying it right frank A north a north american outlook. That was what I should have said. So yes, so don't be us canadians. We get really hurt And north america includes mexico, okay, but but but here's the thing but you guys have bands like What was it the tragic tragically hip Bingo yeah, that guy there's a ton of people here that never heard of them But that band was selling out, you know arenas or stady. Whatever the huge band in canada.  I just want to say that this is a darker Angrier a lot of multi layers on the vocals a lot of orchestrations This is if you ask the blind guardian fans, this is probably in their top three of the bands, you know, their favorite albums And he's and he's he's an amazing singer. Oh, yeah. Hansi's great. You know, he's a great guy Yeah, yeah, he's super nice guy super nice guy Yeah They made the top 500 that's for sure. There it is Wow, what do you think guys? I think it's a 300. I think it's a 300 band I'm gonna go way higher because I've been wrong big time.  I said 300 um Everybody out there who's watching What do you think blind guardian imagination from the other side? Give it a number. What do you think top 500 top 500 of modern top off bible The top 500 heavy metal album. I don't even know. I'm gonna say knows we're doing this. I'm gonna say 63 I'm gonna say 303. I just got two numbers, right 242 says ben Well, that means 30 hold on That means they're in the 30s 36 there's a three-digit number Ending in 63 363 one one six three. Yes That's pretty high. I got it at 163 with a wow reigning on your parades as 187. That's very close. That was good. That was close. Yeah Finally a good comment from him Oh All right, number two. I'm gonna do my warm-up because now things are getting really excited Your conditioning's really on high in this basement His laptop starts tilting That's is good. I have not eaten Okay Okay guys, I know this is controversial. I know people might hate me for this. Yeah, but this band. Hold on this I don't care this band Has the biggest production in rock or metal or pop or anything in the world right now. So Snell Snell Snell That's Shania Twain and Taylor Swift Rammstein, Herzlund light. I don't know how to pronounce it Herzlite Wiener schnitzel Wiener schnitzel Herzlite Herzlite Rammstein. What can you say about this band? Dude, I I never really got into When they when like they started becoming popular here in the states I was like kind of interested, you know, do do all that whole but it has this But it has this kind of like Kind of like a techno-y dance thing, which I never liked And they're I mean, they're so big dude, they're massive And I think they were here they were here Alan wet like last summer I think everybody in much Yeah, and then they played they played they didn't play The arena no no they're played a park And I put it at what 300 300 people 300,000 people were there on 250 maybe maybe Massive like it was so loud you can hear it. I think they could have 20 miles away The pyrotechnics could have bombed a small country, I think Yeah, yeah, so so somebody here I Love the name Giro lamb You know lamb this is you know, and this is lamb you put lamb and hero So this says That ramstein is so specific and sound that you have to like the vibe for sure or you'll hate it I mean, I don't hate it, but it's just very repetitive and You know, it kind of has like it I guess it's so has that dance In so much of their songs like the constant, I mean they have distorted guitar and anything's like that, you know, it's that Deep vocal, but I don't know after a while It's just very like simple But you know what that beat and that kind of drive sort of appeals to a lot of people more It appeals more so than so you have like metal like you have power metal here And yes, sure kind of appeals to a mass mass audience. So I think I don't even like heavy metal. Yeah, but I I think a lot of it's Again goes back to that dance like why do people listen to the music and the club that they like because it's got that And then you just add heavy guitar of it And then it's like you could just do that And then say some things and you throw and and they're they're they're german lyrics Like they will never they have you know on occasion thrown in a couple english courses here and there But they've stuck to their german roots and that even brings another sort of dimension to their music, right industrial dance techno Crunchy guitars And hey man, these guys these guys are singing and he's got a distinct tone. He's got a friggin distinct tone I think it's super um I think it's simple music. It's palatable. They have a very I mean when you hear their music you're like, okay You know who that is so I give them that but Fire fry not not my thing not my thing but a lot of respect for their success and you know, they're doing what they do I know Alan loves ramstein. I personally I've always liked the band. So to me. It's like when I watched their shows on youtube I just the stage show is just and it's by the way, it's all the same guys from from the early days It's the same lineup Same guys same same guys is still in the band today Their live show is probably one of the greatest live shows out there and in the history of sort of hard rock and metal Well, that's the thing you're going listen Here what's happened today with live shows I had a I had a discussion with Herman. He was at our dressing room from dragon force He came out to one of our california show. We were talking about production and Hey, what are you guys doing? What are you guys working on?  I don't care about any of that Give me a backdrop scrims Great songs and let me watch the band members instead of looking at a movie on a screen That's 30 40 50 feet in the air. I I taught I agree with you, but there is sometimes there's bands like ramstein We just take it with the fire And they just take it to another level where the music I understand nights with the friggin production And you're just like an aw you know what I held that I just I I understand it and and that's a separate conversation What I'm saying is People now It's all about the bigger production Everybody's trying to outdo each other with the production and unless you've got a shit ton of money Yeah, you're never going to compete with that.  I'm not going to like it.  You know what? I agree with you.  You know, it's insane to look at and it's mesmerized. It's like it's totally mind-blowing. But If you took away you should be able to take all that production away And and those songs will stand on their own without it And so there's a lot of bands out there That you pull all that I was saying ramstein is one of them.  There's not a whole lot there They rely they rely on all this eye candy and all this stuff. Yeah, I agree I like tan veers comment the best I listen to ramstein and I get the urge to attack poland I just want to throw a chair. I don't know about attacking your country, but I want to throw a chair, maybe It just comes out at the beast. I just want to throw it since you asked me my opinion on this album I just want to let you know our good friend stiff rod is a huge huge ramstein It's good old stiff rod. Todd you met stiff rod.  Give us your money. You know, they're from east germany, right?  So There is something special about the band from all angles sound music Their culture so and and keeping that germany language We're talking 1995 we're talking 1995 Yeah, we're talking 1995 island All right, let's get to number one.  I said I have great respect.  I think they're great Not my particular cup of tea musically, but they're amazing at what they do and they're crushing everybody right now production-wise and Forget about it You know they had more headline tomorrow's headline titleatory says ramstein is not my cup of tea You know what you can't win for a little it is what it is It is what it is. It is what it is. Actually, they've been really Blabbermouth's been doing me right Not taking my things out of context Correcting things when it was misleading. So I would say thank you to blabbermouth for Being cool and not doing That to me it's been it's they've been doing me really honest For a while now and I appreciate that's feeling the love feeling the love. That's good. That's great. Yeah Okay, we're ready. Alan. I know you are your stomach is grumbling. Yeah, I was ready for the interview Number one, let me find number one Yeah, I got some feta to get to so let's let's wrap this thing up number one You know a very controversial choice people might hate us for this But you're alive. It's not it's not controversial. I don't think so either. I don't think so either Burnt offerings. Hey, we can get into the political stuff Here's another man that was tearing the heavy metal flying in 95. Yes. Hey, were they on capital records? nothing Okay, this is the first record with barlow. Yes The cover's sick The artwork is sick. I'll put it back up there the artwork. It is It's look at the little people in the top. I think the top right and you have that album cover sums up 1995 it does Burnt offerings and you know what there's there's some backing There's like some elements of a backing vocal That kind of remind me of like a king diamond Hey, now we're talking. No, there's like some Ah, how would I explain this? There's not his interest No, there's some evil happening. There's there's some like faint Yeah, there's like some vocal things in the background that are happening that are kind of like spooky and kind of king diamond ish and uh There's a ton of musicality and what can you say about the Schaefer's picking? I mean nobody picks metal as perfectly and accurately with that That kind of thing Nobody does it better than john schaefer. He's he can do that for a whole show And it's mind-blowing if anyone's ever tried to just do one of those picking patterns slowly And then try to get it fast and clean I mean Yeah, this was uh, this was a special Sound happening and of course getting the new vocalist who would become their most revered singer in of their career I think And a great guy Yeah, super. Yeah, he's awesome. Totally nice guy and um Look, they were carrying the flag for america in metal They were doing the epic stuff. They were saying, you know what? I don't care if metal's out of fashion We're gonna do this bottle kind of sounded like paul stanley a little bit He's got that deep dark voice and he could still those those crazy highs man. Jeez man. This guy can sing burnt offerings last december And then you have the epic Dante's inferno, which is a descending into hell Which is it's just I don't know to me. It's it summarizes heavy metal In 1995 but quality heavy metal in 1995. It's dark. It's brutal And you still got those power metal vocals there, but they also have like You know a band like that versus say anthrax is like They would get into these kind of ballady sounds with clean guitar, you know anthrax I don't even know if they ever wrote a ballad But yeah, they did Really, what is it kind of it off of Sound of white noise a black lodge. Is that it black lodge?  Well, yeah, but I mean like like I guess because They're not like a ice earth isn't like a thrash band, right? They're a power metal band That has thrash In it though. They're not right. They're kind of a blend but You hear like all of these peaks and valleys on throughout these songs That were like, okay. Yeah as for 1995 this was Something You know spiritual brothers through a blind guardian at that time those are the two bands that really stood out for me in that era, so Yeah, I mean look they were carrying the metal flag like I said And when you think about it, it was tough to get a record deal back then It was tough to get an audience. It was tough to get your music out there But they were going there carrying that metal flag and uh barlow man He was he just what amounts he kept getting better and better throughout each album And this is kind of his introduction. Actually it was the albums before you re-recorded But this was his first official studio album And if you notice the progression he keeps just getting better and better as a vocalist and you know Fits more better in the band Iced earth is what aren made it and should have done On burden offerings. That's where they should have headed it. It just feels more united, you know where X factor seems like sort of like broken little pieces here and there some great music but little Little bit of I wouldn't call a filler, but maybe Not a little bit directionless in a sense So three ice earth albums made the top 500 and this was not one of them Really no boy So this isn't even on in the book Geez, but it's in our book. That's a cattle top 10 here on the metal voice number one Thanks to jimmy k when a when when was when was that uh, book when did that book come out 1994? Not too long a few years ago. Yeah quite a long time ago actually So he needs to update it. Yeah, yeah, let's see here. Let's see. It's uh, Published 2004 2004 oh, that's a lot of four and we got fear factory at number 81 and 95 So that's almost 20 years old Oh, yeah, he's got updated. We need a new version of that Martin Martin doesn't even know we do the shows Okay, I will recap the top 10 and alan you just throw out some of the uh, Honorable mentions, okay. Oh by the way, factory. Yes. Oh, sorry. Go ahead. Don't go ahead. No, it's okay fear factory de-manufacturer number 10 down nola number nine iron me next factor number eight anthrax stomp 442 Number seven wait zombie aster creep six sabotage dead winter dead number five ozzy osmosis number three Number four blind guardian imaginations from the other side number three number two ramstein hers learned And number one ice earth burned offerings not because it charted not because It was the greatest album ever made it was because in that period That was classic heavy metal Yeah, with you know just some great songs and it represented an era critically acclaimed Okay, sorry, Todd. What are you saying?  So I go ahead alan. I know you have a few I got Well, you know, I like to riot Brother than I was a brethren of the long house. I thought that was something different for them Uh, that's basically it. Oh, there was my sugar. My sugar was good Some people had said uh, paradise lost opeth Um, yeah, somebody said demons and wizards No, but there's a there's a ton of stuff out there that um You know tomorrow's headline tenvier says is Todd says martin popoff is out of date That's not somebody said that I was gonna I want to invade poland after looking at ramstein Two people are Gotta be careful.  That's alan likes my sugar. I like that alan likes my sugar That was a huge album for that year Okay Guys, I guess somebody somebody said a change of seasons dream theater Is that's an ep Right, they did they put a record out in 95. It wasn't that's a lot of cover songs. They didn't do cover songs I can't know. I think that was an ep. That was an ep and uh, it's still a record Yeah, it's still a record, but it's an ep. It's a short record Well, good suggestion. Just to make it a list so so and just to close things off Todd Littori Is that working on is a second studio album? Yeah, solo.

Welcome to theCUBE's coverage of KubeCon EU 2024, live from Paris, France. Join hosts Savannah Peterson, Dustin Kirkland and Rob Stratche as they interview some of the brightest minds in cloud-native computing. Coverage of KubeCon cloud-native con is brought to you by Red Hat, CNCF, and its ecosystem partners. The CUBE's coverage of KubeCon EU 2024 begins right now. Good afternoon, Kubernetes fans, and welcome back to Paris. We're here at KubeCon cloud-native con, CNCF's biggest European event. My name's Savannah Peterson, joined by Rob Stratche. Rob, Paris is perfect for us. It's the best in the spring. Yes. Has someone said that before? I don't know. Not yet today. Not yet today. At least not on set. And I'm really excited that we have a veteran guest with us, Daniel from NIO. Daniel, welcome back. Thanks for having me. Yeah. I'm super happy to be back. We love having you. Last time we had you on the show, we were in Chicago. How's Paris treating you? It's great. Just like you were saying, the fact that the cold is away just makes Paris way more enjoyable. And it's overall like the food here is amazing. I'm enjoying every single meal I'm having here. Amen to that. And the calories don't count, right? Yes, they don't count. There's zero calories this week. This is a total free-for-all. There are no rules in Paris, as far as I'm concerned. I'm standing all day here in the booth, so they're just disappearing. Yeah. And also the walk in here, it's like at least 10,000 steps to get here, so. I know, right? But I mean, I think again, you guys are in an interesting spot.  And funny enough, AI runs on data. And you guys are at the heart of data and object storage and really bringing those types of experiences to customers wherever they need their data. And you guys had an announcement. What was the announcement that you guys made? Yeah, big news. The announcement we made last week was about the new enterprise object store that we are announcing and releasing to our enterprise customers. And what this new product is about is pretty much we are making a downstream version of Min I.O. that's optimized for enterprise customers, taking all the learnings that we did from all these customers that actually, because of the rush of the maximum amount of scale of data, now we took all their learnings. For example, some of them were, they were used to running on AWS and AWS was, you know, taking care of all their infrastructure needs. But then they were like, okay, let's take a hundred petabytes out. Let's run out on Min I.O. and let's see how that goes. And then they were like, we like this. So let's go to the exabyte scale. But now of course they have, their setups are thousands and thousands of disk. So finding a failure or being ahead of the failures on such a large amount of drives is like finding a needle in the haystack. So of course, this is where we are building all these new enterprise or big store tools that are optimized for helping you find these problems ahead of time. And not only that, there's also a firewall feature, for example, that where you may also want to do traffic mitigation for your own cluster, you may want to throttle the traffic of your freight limit. There's catalog, if you want to do, we expose a GraphQL API, if you want to do searches across the namespace. And there's also caching and a new brand new KMS, that's a whole new KMS that's also available for the Minio Enterprise or Big Store. It's very exciting. And it's in direct response to customer demand. That is true, yes. And so I know you can't specifically talk about some of the customers we talked about behind the scenes. However, can you tell me, because you're seeing a lot across verticals, can you tell me some trends, are there any spaces where people are adopting AI faster than other spaces? Well, certainly in the cybersecurity and automotive industry, we're seeing that the amounts of data they're dealing with, it's insanely large, right? So, and this is one of the big things that we're seeing is people are completely dropping hard disk drives.  Even though it's four times price difference, but you make that money back in saving costs of human capital. Because if you are with the cheap hard disk drives, eventually they'll fail. And then you have your whole team on a call, trying to figure out what's wrong, what to replace. That's where all the savings for the hard disk drive goes away. But these massive clusters are coming online that I was telling you about. It's all in BME. And it's pretty much that big, and it's all in BME, first to reduce the maintenance costs and the failure rate, but AI demand that scale and that speed, right? Only in BME can see that. And in BME is already going places that hard disk drives can never go. You will see these 30 terabyte in BME drives now coming available, 60 terabyte just around the corner. It's just size of volume, yes. It's wild, it's wild, yes. Yeah, I mean, and you have to bring the management of all that data into a single plane.   Do you feel that the open source community is a big part of driving some of these businesses? Definitely, the open source community, it's the one that's driving a lot of the requirements also for Minayo. Why they go and they test our product right away. They tell us, they say, you know, I'm tasting Minayo on this very obscure type of setup and I found a problem. So we like fixing it for them because maybe we extrapolate and we see that problem may hit some enterprise customers as well. So then we go and optimize it. So open source is crazy important for us. Yeah, and you were a user of Minayo, weren't you? If I recall? Yeah, before, yeah. Before I joined Minayo, I was actually a Minayo user and it was definitely the right tool for the right job. I was training machine learning pipelines AI pipelines pretty much and I needed something where I could actually drop my data and have the engineers pretty much built with the idea that you don't copy the data locally. Back then that's where people are like getting it wrong as well, let me put it this way. This is what people are realizing now. You can no longer build pipelines that copy the data locally and then I train. No, I have this very powerful GPUs coming along. Literally a new one just got announced this week, right? So now, and then I need to be able to stream data as fast as that GPU can crunch it and then discard that and then have the next batch being ready and only object storage can offer that throughput. And I was going to say, even though there and it was talked about earlier today in the keynote about how underutilized a lot of GPUs are and part of that is the storage. And so going to NVMe on-premise or wherever is still cheaper than going to NVMe in a cloud because it's controlling the cost, you can depreciate it. Is that what you're seeing from your customers? Is that they're really leaning into that? That is what we're seeing when the customers are bringing these massive closures, right? And it's like 5,000 drives, 7,000 drives setups. And that's their unique of scale. That means when they're running, when they feel that cluster, the next one coming online is the same size, another 7,000 drives. And it goes and tells you that NVMe is actually, right now the technology is maturing enough that all the enterprise is actually betting harder on it. And that's going to benefit everyone because it's going to drive the price for NVMe down as well. So it's the right time to start getting into the NVMe. And being a former storage geek, I guess I could say, when you talked about some of these enterprise features, I think you were talking about how understanding what's going on and kind of the observability. Can you talk to that? Sure, observability traditionally is this, okay, I have these metrics and it's a weekly line going up and down. And that doesn't really tell you there's something wrong unless you see something like a spiking. But when you have 7,000 drives, where's the problem? I cannot put 7,000 lines, it's useless.  These two drives are down. And the overall impact is that this section of your data has a degraded performance. So we want to be able to build these tools so you can practically be like, okay, maybe this week's, next week, we'll send someone down to the data center, replace those NVMe drives, and then keep the operations going. No one will ever find that these drives were actually about to implode. So we want to be on top of that. So that's why we're building these specialized tools. And because you're using erasure and coding underneath the hood, it's still protected. And the data's there, so you can go and do that and move the data automatically, moves around, and you can actually unplug drives and plug new drives in. So I think that helps those organizations be more proactive and keep the speed up. Yeah, we want them to be proactive rather than reactive. Because when they are reactive, by the time they come to us, I have a problem with me now. Something's already happening. Yeah, something's already happening. Something's slow. So we want to be, give them, like, here's a tool. You don't even need to come to me. You can actually watch this yourself and they will tell you there's something going here. Historically, this drive was behaving fine. Now you can see it actually means behaving. Here's the data to prove it. Now it's time to maybe automate this drive. Or maybe it's throwing timeout errors or IO errors. Definitely it's that one drive that you need to RMA. Take it out, RMA it. Mina, you can tolerate working without the drive for an extended period of time, just like you were saying. And then when it gets back, or if you have extra drives, just swap them in, you're done. Back in business. No outage, no sad faces, just being on top of the problem. And that's good for both the businesses and their customers. Yeah, it is true.  What, I mean, this is a huge announcement. I can imagine your customers are really excited. What else is in the pipeline for you looking forward that you can tell us about? So, Mina, the Mina Enterprise Object Store, it's a very exciting announcement because it's bringing all these different facets that other enterprise customers are already enjoying. And now that we are actually consolidating into a product and sharing it with everyone else, now everyone else will see all these features and be like, oh, this can really help me. For example, we were showing the firewall around and they were like, hmm, I wonder if I can, the firewall is like a Lego block that I can actually hook on top of some heuristic system and build a dynamic, on top of some AI, some dynamic scaling of the traffic shaping logic. And they were like, I like this, I can build something on top of this, right? So, when customers see this, they'll get their gears going and they'll try to think of it like, oh, this is a problem I had, I didn't even know I had. And now there's a solution, I'll just click a button, turn it on, and start using it immediately. You just touched on something I want to double down on. In terms of maturity in their journey, because obviously GPU shortages, there's a lot of interesting stuff on the hardware and on the software side. Everyone's trying to have some sort of AI strategy but hasn't necessarily ironed that out. We've had a lot of conversations around that. It sounds like you're getting those wheels turning like you said, how mature would you say most big companies you're engaging with are, how mature is their strategy around AI and how are they going to handle the scale? I mean, that's where I was mentioning that they need to modernize their pipelines and they change their thinking because this expensive hardware, you don't want to sit in idle while things are happening. Oh, I'm unloading the previous algorithm, there's a new algorithm, more data, needs to be loaded, let's wait, no. Right. Crunching, done with the result. Load the next algorithm, start crunching. Right, data is streaming to you. So they need to change that mindset and because now they're seeing I have all this data. Now, and something beautiful about LLMs is that it made it obvious to be different use cases where it's like I have this data, now I can ask questions about this data but I just need to run it through the LLM at very high speed. Whether I'm fine tuning or just doing a rack style approach, I need to be able to pull the data when I need it at very fast speed so that people on the other side of the wire are just sitting there waiting for too long.  Yeah, we're making up new words today, Rob. I'm going new words. I love this for us, let's go, baby. And kind of Kubecon, where Kubernetes, I mean, it's 10 years old, but cloud native apps are still being built and a lot of cloud native apps actually are using, you know, S3 APIs to go. Is, do you see that's where a lot of the organizations that you're working with are building their apps really cloud native? Yes, I'm seeing that. I'm even seeing customers maturing out of bare metal. Right, they're like bare metal, I need, I build another unit of bare metal and now I have way too many servers and I'm only using this for my storage infrastructure so maybe it's time to bring Kubernetes. So they're reaching this conclusion, you need something to automate, manage all of this. Do the rolling updates for me, like simplify operations. So they're naturally being, and they're trying to Kubernetes and seeing as a very mature piece of software now. Everyone's very familiar with it.  Right, so I see companies maturing that way and it makes sense to them because they already move everything to containers, everything's containerized, everything is gearing towards the object storage APIs because it's like, that's what the clear native way of doing things is. So the industry is catching up now and now the AI is like, okay, you want to do this. AI is really pushing everyone like, now you need to modernize even faster because you might not be able to retrofit an AI paradigm on a legacy style. You won't be able to, it's too much data, the scale is too intense. Is Kubernetes the chosen tool for doing that? Yes. Across the board? I mean, this is naming someone, but I love that blog post by OpenAI, where they say, you know, the limit of Kubernetes cluster was 5,000 nodes, we took it to 10,000. So it's like, they are running and what are they doing with 10,000 nodes? They are most likely training the most popular foundation and model on the planet right now.  They are proud to blog about it and talk about it, right? It's Kubernetes that's actually empowering that. Yes. Well, so I asked you this question when we were in Chicago and I'm curious to see what your answer is today. Next time we have you on the show, which is obviously now a trend. And you're stuck with us. What do you hope you can say when we're in Salt Lake City that you can't yet say today? That's a really nice trap. I was going to say, tell me, there's your sunglasses right there. I can see it on the tip of your tongue. Whatever you wanted to say right there, tell me. No, it's all right. You can tell me afterwards. You can tell me over a drink tonight. Yeah. I'd most likely tell you, I'll be happy to say that I see more customers going extra scale because it's just in just four months, our customers being multi-petabytes and this is hundreds of petabytes. And first it's like, okay, we see hundreds of petabytes, hundreds of petabytes, but now everyone's going extra by it. And it's what that's in such a short amount of time, everyone migrating to Minio for extra scale is just insane. So I want to be able to tell you, now our number of customers I see is more than less than 10. So now it's like, I want to see tens of hundreds of customers going extra scale. Awesome. So we can have one of those customers on with you next time and tell that story. Daniel, we love you and the Minio team and Jonathan, shout out to Jonathan for always bringing you on. Rob, it is a fantastic pleasure. Always. Sitting in the cockpit with you on this lovely jet plane, wherever we're headed, making up words and doing cool stuff. And thank all of you for tuning in to this fantastic three days of coverage from Paris, France at KubeCon CloudNativeCon. My name's Savannah Peterson. You're watching theCUBE, the leading source for enterprise tech news.


Okay folks, Larry Pesavendo with the afternoon update for TFNN. We've got stocks slightly lower. We've got the Russell up slightly, it looks like. We've got gold under a great deal of pressure. It broke under $2,000 an ounce. It hadn't been below that for about eight days. We've got silver still acting pretty strong. Bonds have sold off quite a bit. And other than that, the currencies have sold off quite a bit. As a U.S. dollar has regained strength and has pushed other things quite a bit lower on the currency front. Mainly it's the euro versus the dollar that is causing all the problems. Crude oil has had a little bit of a rally, but considering the news with everything going on, you'd think it'd be up about $3 or $4 a barrel. But in fact, it really isn't doing that. The other market that looks very, very interesting from a trading standpoint, and I do mean trading standpoint, is the market that is related to the grain markets because we've got the soybeans sitting in the only one. Oh, actually the wheat is up $0.02, but we've got corn down a little bit. Actually, corn's rallied a little bit. Oh my goodness. That's just in the last couple of hours. I just realized that. So the grains are actually holding up relatively well. The one market that we would like to keep a very, very close eye on here, folks, is that U.S. Dollar Index because there's a lot of things in the news saying that the U.S. Dollar is finished, and we've heard that before. I remember back in 2011 when we were trading down around, oh my goodness, I think it was around 80, so 78 or something like that in the U.S. Dollar. Mr. Tom O'Brien of TFNN coined the phrase King Dala, and it rallied for 11 years. In fact, it's still rallying. So it's been a heck of a run here in that U.S. Dollar. But no matter what you hear in the news, folks, it's still the currency people go to when they want to be safe because it says right on the front of the U.S. Dollar in God we trust. And certainly it's a pretty interesting one to look at here today. So we're going to have Bill Meridian from Cycles Research in Austria as our guest today on my show, Fibonacci 24-7, trade what you see, which will be coming up next. So be sure that you log in if you can, and we'll have a lot of fun listening to what Bill has to tell us because he's always had some really interesting things to share with us about what's going on in the market. So we'll be right back after we pay a few words.


Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States of America. Thank you. Thank you. Carded hail. Carded hail. Thank you. I very much appreciate the honor that you've done me today. A degree honorary though it may be is a recognition of a certain understanding of culture and of the truths that are at the foundation of Western civilization. And a degree from an Irish university in this respect is of even greater significance. I have to confess that on the 25th anniversary of my own graduation, my alma mater presented me with an honorary degree and thereby culminated 25 years of guilt that I had nursed because I had always thought the first one they gave me was honorary. But I would like to take this moment to congratulate your distinguished president of University College, Galway, Dr. Ohoka, for all that he has done and is doing to overcome the spiral of violence which has plagued Northern Ireland. As chairman of the New Ireland, Ireland Forum, you helped to open honors or doors of opportunity for peace and reconciliation. Progress will depend on other responsible leaders in both parts of Ireland and in Great Britain following your example. As far as the United States is concerned, we applaud all those who strove for constructive political cooperation and who renounce violence. We pray that men and women of goodwill in all parts of this land can through mutual consent and consultation find a way of bringing peace and harmony to this island that means so much to us. It was here in Ireland that monks and scholars preserved the theological and classical achievements of the Western world during a time of darkness on the continent of Europe. With the triumph of St. Patrick and Christianity, Ireland emerged as one of the most learned countries of Europe, attracting students from distant lands and known for centuries as the island of saints and scholars. This veneration of knowledge is part of our heritage I am most proud to share. While tyrants in many nations stamp their populations into conformity and submission, our ancestors enjoyed heated exchanges of ideas as far back as in the court of Good King Brian Buru. It's part of our blood. That's what I keep telling myself every time I try to iron out my differences with the speaker of our House of Representatives, a lad by the name of Tip O'Neill. Well, he's a great son of Ireland and America as well. And I can say that knowing that we have heartfelt differences of opinion. Yet in free societies differences are expected indeed encouraged. It is this freedom to disagree, to question, to state one's case even when in opposition to those in authority that is the cornerstone of liberty and human progress. When I arrived in Shannon yesterday, I mentioned that I was not only returning to my own roots but also to those of my country's freedom. Historically, of course, no one can doubt Ireland's enormous contributions to American liberty. Nine of the signers of our Declaration of Independence were of Irish ancestry. Four were born in Ireland. Twenty generals in our Revolutionary Army were of Irish ancestry. Generals Montgomery, Sullivan, Wayne and others were in the thick of the battle. On Washington's personal staff were Generals Moyland and Fitzgerald. And on the high seas, Commodore John Berry, considered by many the father of the United States Navy, was born in County Wexford. As officers and as soldiers, sailors and marines, Irish immigrants added fire to the American Revolution, a fire that ignited a flame of liberty as had never before been seen. This was not a result of uncontrollable historical forces, but the accomplishment of heroic individuals whose commitment and courage shook the foundations of empires. William Butler Yates put it well, Whatever flames upon the night, man's own rosinless heart has fed. And I imagine the British weren't surprised to see just who was fanning those flames. Sir Henry Clinton wrote home to London that the immigrants from Ireland are our most serious opponents. By the time of the American Revolution, Ireland was already a nation steeped in culture and historical traditions, a fact evidenced by your own city of Galway, now my own city of Galway, which is celebrating its 500th anniversary. Permit me to congratulate all of your citizens on this august occasion. This esteemed university is only one part of the traditional educational glory of Galway. I'm told that as far back as 1580, Galway Mayor Dominic Lynch founded a free school here which became a well-known center of Catholic culture and nationalist activity attracting pupils from near and far. By 1627, so many were flocking here, many with no means of support, that the city ordered foreign beggars and poor scholars to be whipped out of town. And considering the degree you've just bestowed on me, I can hope that that rule is no longer in effect. I'm afraid we have no communities quite so venerable as Galway in the United States. But what we lack in years, we try to make up for and try hard in spirit. From the time of our independence until the present moment, the mainspring of our national identity has been a common dedication to the principles of human liberty. Further, we believe there's a vital link between our freedom and the dramatic progress, the increase in our material well-being that we've enjoyed during these last 200 years. Freedom motivates people of courage and creativity to strive to improve and to push back the boundaries of knowledge. Here, too, the Irish character has contributed so much. Galway, a city Columbus has been said already as supposed to have visited on his way to the New World, is on a coast which for so long was the western edge, the frontier of the known world. This is the 1500th anniversary of the birth of St. Brendan, who legend tells us sailed west into uncharted waters and discovered new lands. This man of God, a man of learning whose monasteries were part of Ireland's golden age, may indeed have been the first tie between Ireland and America. I understand much time and effort has gone into organizing what will be an annual transatlantic yacht race between Ireland and the United States, commemorating Brendan's voyage. I commend those making this effort to establish what could prove to be an exciting new link between our two countries. Whether Brendan reached the American continent or not, there is no doubt about the Irish role in taming the wilderness of the New World and turning America into an economic dynamo beyond imagination. The Irish came by the millions, seeking refuge from tyranny and deprivation, from hunger of the body and of the soul. Irish Americans worked in the factories. They built our railroads and, as with my family, settled and farmed the vast stretches of uncultivated prairie in the heartland of America. I have a hunch that I should be shortening my remarks. The dream of a better life brought these people to our shores and millions of others from every corner of the world. They and their descendants maintain great pride in their ancestry. But also to say thank you to your nation and to your people for all you contributed to the spirit and well-being of the United States of America. Certainly an important part of that spirit has and must remain close people-to-people conducts. The Prime Minister and I are therefore pleased to announce our agreement to increase academic exchange programs between the United States and Ireland. We have instructed the appropriate agencies to put this into effect as soon as possible. We have a long tradition of academic cooperation. We'll strengthen it. And for our part, we intend to triple the number of students and scholars, triple them in participating in the programs. America in these last four decades has assumed a heavy burden of responsibility to help preserve peace and promote economic development and human dignity throughout the world. Sometimes as is to be expected in all human endeavors, mistakes were made. Yet overall, I believe that we have an admirable record. There's something very important I want you to know and then I will hasten on. The American people still hold dear those principles of liberty and justice for which our forefathers sacrificed so much. Visiting America, you understand this, and I hope that each of you will one day be able to do that. We are still a nation comprised of good and decent people whose fundamental values of val-tolerance, compassion and fair play guide and direct the decisions of our government. Today, the free world faces an enormously powerful adversary. A visit to that country or to its colonies would reveal no public disagreement, no right of assembly, no independent unions. What we face is a strong and aggressive military machine that prohibits fundamental freedoms. Our policy is aimed at deterring aggression and helping our allies and friends to protect themselves while at the same time doing everything we can to reduce the risks of war. We seek negotiations with the Soviet Union, and unfortunately we face an empty chair. I'll be speaking more on this in my speech to Parliament, but right now I think that I should cut short whatever I was going to say because I would like to bring up a proclamation in which we are congratulating Galway on its 500th anniversary. This is our greeting on the quintentennial from our country to your city. Let it hope in our hearts that we will always stand together. Brothers and sisters of Ireland, Deolive Galer, thank you. Well, I cut out of that, but I think it was well what I did.


Hello everyone welcome back to the channel, so I know I haven't been on YouTube in a while But we are on spring break and we're on our cruise ship And I'm gonna give you guys a quick tour of the room show you how we kind of organized all of the toddler things And then I have four new swimsuits that I got to show you guys because cup. She actually sent me a couple new Swimsuits, so I'm really quickly gonna show you what those look like as well But let me just show you our stateroom So this is what our stateroom looks like right now. It is as clean as it's going to get with three people But they gave us a crib, which is really awesome. However Cache is like Any bigger and he wouldn't fit in here So he barely fits in there But I wanted to quickly show you guys so we have Our car seat kind of tucked away in this Um Closet, this is my closet and then we also have all of our suitcases stored underneath the bed and our red wagon and Then we waited until we got to Florida to buy all of our diapers and baby supplies and We put them down in here. So this is all of our diapers and wipes and Then we did go ahead and purchase like many many things for cash for like food In addition to what he'll eat on the ship just because on excursion days We are going to be off the ship for quite some time So we wanted to have some options for food for him. We just have like baby patches snack bars Some veggie bowls we did get some macaroni and cheese just in case we are confined to the room and we still want to feed him This is the stateroom from this direction. We have a nice balcony We have all caches toys We have all caches toys. These are all of like our like electronics and cords And then I have some of my clothes up here because I don't have any drawers over there But I'm really quickly gonna show you guys The four new suits that I got from Cupshe. Okay, so the first two new suits from Cupshe Which by the way, I'm wearing one today one of the other ones the first new one that I got is this adorable striped one and It's kind of like a nautical blue stripe and then it has this cute striped detailing in the front and then it crisscrosses in the back so It looks like this I've got that and then the bottoms are really super cute, too They're just like a basic bikini bottom in the back and Then this one is like my favorite this cute one piece white This cute one piece it is white and it has like the scalloped edges and It is scalloped all the way on the bottoms in the back and in the front So I really really like that and then the fabric is this really pretty like geographical like Kind of shape I really like that as well and then it ties in the back and I think you can make this into a bow if you'd like and then the next one that I got in this second Cupshe swimsuit haul is This really cute palm tree one, which I think I already wore this one once on the trip, but it's a one piece But it is one of those one pieces where it looks like it could be a two piece So it has the triangular bikini top and then it's connected here in the middle And it's barely connected on the sides there So it really is like a peek-a-boo kind of effect, which I really like and I love the teal palm trees against the like pink Backgrounds, so I got that one and then the last one that I got is another high-waisted suit and It is this it's called orange blossom and it's super cute It's got like a almost black bottom with like an orange Kind of flower and then this one has like a little belt that loops across the front And the top is like a halter top so it comes up like this and Then you know like a normal halter top would do Like that and then it laces Up in the back. So I really really like this one. I've already worn this one as well So those are the four new swimsuits that I got from Cupshe and again They are offering me a discount code, which I will put right here And if you guys are interested in getting I think it's 10% off you can visit Cupshe.com and Use my coupon code for I believe it's $10 or 10% off You're all probably wondering where cash is right now. Well, we just got done making sushi so we did a sushi making class and My parents have cash and we just walked around the entire ship looking for them, but we Could not find them. So we thought oh, maybe they brought him back to the room to lay him down. No, they're not here So I think we're gonna go explore some more and see if we can find them If not, we're just gonna like find a place on the deck to chill maybe get some Sun rays in before around two o'clock when we'll come back and Take our shower because we have dinner Tonight at seven I think Seven o'clock. No, sure Also, I got this cute little thing from This cute little thing from the Kate spade outlet and it holds my phone and then it holds our stateroom keys Which is nice. It holds three keys. So I just have been carrying this little cutie around To keep all of our necessities in


Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we discuss the following question that says the average due date of four bills was 10th June. Three of the bills were payable as follows. $400 on 29th April, $300 on 20th May, $500 on 3rd June. The fourth bill was due on 8th July. Find the amount of the fourth bill. For the average due date, first of all we take an arbitrary fixed date which is the zero date. Then we take P1, P2, P3 and so on. The different payments, D1, D2, D3 and so on days respectively, from the zero date. Then we have capital D which is the equated time when capital D is equal to P1, D1, P2, D2, P3, D3 plus and so on. And this one upon P1 plus P2 plus P3 plus and so on that is D is equal to submission PD upon submission P. Then we have the average due date which is the date the equated time B to the zero date. This is the key idea that we use in this question. Let's proceed with the solution now. Now in the question we are given the average due date of the fourth bill and three of the bills were payable as follows. That is we are given different payments for the different due dates. We are given the due date of the fourth bill also and we are supposed to find the amount of the fourth bill. Now our first due date is 29th April. So we take 29th April as the zero date. So we take net 29th April B to the zero date and we are given the average due date and June average due date is obtained by adding D that is the equated time of payment to the zero date. Now we are given the average due date and the zero date so we can easily find out the equated time of payment that is D. So the number of days which due date which is the zero date which is 29th April the equated time of payment which is capital D is equal to 42. This we are supposed to find the amount of the fourth bill. So we assume net of the fourth bill be X dollars four columns in which we have the due dates. Payments which is capital P number of days from zero date which is small D and P multiplied by D. Now from the question our first due date is 29th April and the payment for this due date is 400 dollars. So here we have 29th April and the payment is 400 dollars and number of days from the zero date would be zero since the zero date is 29th April itself where P multiplied by D would be zero so 400 multiplied by zero is zero. Our next due date is 20th May for which the amount of the payment is 300 dollars. Next we write in the table and the payment for this is 300 dollars and the number of days from the zero date which is full length April would be 21 multiplied by D would be 21 into 300 which would be 60 300 then next due date is 3rd June for which the payment is 500 dollars. So here we have 3rd June and the payment is 500 dollars and number of days from the zero date that is small D would be 35 and now 500 multiplied by 35 gives us 175 double zero where the next due date is 8th July and we have to find the amount for this bill and we have assumed that amount to be x dollars 8th July and the payment is x dollars. So number of days from zero date that is small D is 70 and P multiplied by D would be 70 x. Now we find out submission P would be equal to 400 plus 300 plus 500 plus x and that would be 1200 plus x then submission P D is equal to 6300 plus 175 double zero plus 70 x which would be 238 double zero plus 70 x. Now from the key idea we have equated time of payment that is capital D would be equal to submission P D upon submission P. So capital D is equal to submission P D upon submission P that is equal to 238 double zero plus 70 x and this whole upon 1200 plus x and we had already calculated the capital D as 42 days. So this means 42 is equal to 238 double zero plus 70 x and this whole upon 1200 plus x the cross multiplying we get 42 into plus x the whole is equal to 238 double zero plus 70 x. Further we have 42 into 1200 is 504 double zero plus 42 x is equal to 238 double zero plus 70 x now further 70 x minus 42 x is equal to 504 double zero minus 238 double zero. Or you can say we get 28 x is equal to 266 double zero and from where we have x is equal to 266 double zero upon 28 and 28 950 times is 266 double zero. So therefore we have x equal to 950 or you can say x is equal to 950 dollars. Therefore that we have assumed to be x total hope we have understood the solution of this question.
