done this evil in thy sight the thought might be justified when thou speaks and be clear when I'll judge says behold I was shabbing in iniquity and in sin did my mother conceive me behold thou desired

bless the Lord the high place he's bringing down it is to be in the house of the Lord on this Sunday morning thank the Lord for the fact that we can depend on the Lord places the Lord said I'll bring them down we have high places continually in our lives and it's good to know that God is there for us amen thank the Lord for his goodness and his mercy towards us today it's Pentecost Sunday thank God for Pentecost hadn't been for the Lord who was on our side we've been destroyed by the devil the adversary of the soul but thanks be under God that he causes us to be victorious in all of our ways thank God for Jesus thank you thank God for Jesus today I want to call your attention at the beginning I'm going to have a few scriptures call your attention to the reading that we found in our devotion period in Psalm 51 yes thank you other excellent music anointed God is great and he uses us as vessels for his honor in Psalm number 51 I begin to read at verse number one and before I begin the reading I want to help us understand what we're looking at now we're guilty we're guilty and when we are guilty if we're found guilty in a court then there's a sentence that goes along with the guilt so in this particular song David had gotten out of the will of God and you know the story I won't give you the story but David was out of place he was in the wrong place at the wrong time and that made him guilty because he yielded to the flesh and at this point scripture says have mercy upon me oh God according to thy loving kindness and according unto the multitude of thy tender mercy blot out my transgressions Lord I'm wrong and I want to admit that I'm wrong he said wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin while I acknowledge my transgression and my sin is ever before me he said Lord I'm wrong I'm not going to try to pretend that I'm right don't try to pretend that it happened by accident or anything like that he said I'm straight up wrong and I need you to forgive me he said I acknowledge my my my transgression he said yes I did it and he said the sin that I committed is always in my mind yes against the only have I sinned and done this evil in thy sight that I might it be might as be justified when thou speaketh and be clear when thou judges now he says I understand that the sin that I committed wasn't against anybody but you evil have I done in thy sight when thou speaketh and be clear thou judges he said you're going to judge a righteous judge he said I'm not trying to talk my way out of it not trying to pretend that somebody else did it it's me and I need you to come into my life I need you to continue to strengthen me as he commits or admits his commission verse 5 says behold I was shaping in iniquity now he said I did it not trying to get away from it but I want to give you an excuse he said Lord I was shaping in iniquity and in sin did my mother conceive me he said I was born in sin and shaping in iniquity through the fact of birth I inherited a tainted nature a tainted nature indeed I'm sorry in need of regeneration and proclivities to sinful conduct so he says when I was born I couldn't help the fact that I was a sinner I was born into and he said it's not really my fault he said because I was born into a sinful nature right well let me see if I can help you with this word iniquity iniquity is a violation of the right or duty that mankind is under obligation to do let me read that again iniquity iniquity is a violation of the right or duty that mankind is under obligation in other words you're obligated to do the right thing under obligation to do such as immoral conduct or practices in the scripture iniquity and sin are often used interchangeably in essence we were all born the same way all born into the same condition so Lord I admit I did it but I was born into sin but everybody was let me tell you that's not what God had in mind for the for this his greatest creation which is mankind in his word he has said that we are a chosen generation a royal priesthood a holy nation a peculiar people that ye may show forth the praise of him who hath called you out of darkness into a marvelous light he said I didn't I didn't choose you to be anything other than what you ought to do you ought to follow the rules in verse 6 behold thou desire truth in the inward parts and in the hidden parts thou shall make me to know wisdom he said I confess that I'm asking you to help me to get some good sense he said now I ask you to purge me with his and I shall be clean wash me and I shall be whiter than snow now this is a great confession if we sin and confession is necessary and then we ought to come to God in much prayer asking him to write the wrong that we are hello somebody it's quiet in here it's quiet and it's real quiet that's our text well well the topic of my sermon today forgive me sound real this is that the topic is this is that it's the real deal can y'all say that with me this is that it's the real deal all right call your attention to the book of Joel for for two verses Joel chapter 2 verse 28 and I'll read to you hearing verse 28 and 29 and it shall come to pass afterwards that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy your old men shall dream dreams and your young men shall see visions and also up on the servants up on the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit now the Lord recognizes our condition that we were born in and he said you don't have to stay in the condition that you're in he said because I want to put you back together yeah see King David was was a man after God's own heart but he completely blew it yeah yielding to his flesh well God has a remedy for those who lose themselves when we walk with the Lord and our intentions are the best we're no challenge for the adversary of the soul well who's the devil the reason the Lord is willing to stand with us to stand by us to stand up in us to give us the strength that we need to to have to go through this terrible dark and evil day now these are the last days how many know we're living in the last days and and the further we go the closer we get to the end and there's got to be accountability for every sin that is not accounted for and there is a record on high come on somebody and God sees and knows everything that we do we've got to do that that's right within his eyes we've got to do what we're charged with doing we can't have it our way the Lord has called us to order in this house order order in the car the Lord wants to speak this is that now let's go over to Acts chapter 2 Acts chapter 2 beginning at verse number one and we're going to move through this text swiftly in Acts chapter number two it begins when the day of Pentecost was fully come they were all with one accord in one place and suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind and it filled all the house where they were sitting Jesus told them he said I'm going away he said but I'm not going to leave you by yourself he said I'm going to send back a comforter I'm going to send back one who'll stand by your side one who'll be with you when you're weak when your knees get weak somebody that will help and strengthen you he said so go to Jerusalem and he said wait and I'll send the comforter so suddenly there came a sound from heaven as a rushing mighty wind and it filled all the house where they were sitting and they appeared unto them cloven tongues like as a fire and it set upon each of them and they were all filled with the holy ghost and began to speak with other tongues as the spirit gave them others a rushing mighty wind came and appeared like tongues of fire and they all spoke in a language that they had never studied he said the the tongues that they spoke in were given by the Lord this next verse said and they're dwelt at Jerusalem Jews devout men out of every nation under heaven and I won't read all of this but I'll say to you the Jews were proud people and the church had started with Jews only and Jews were snobs they were holy snobs they didn't understand what was going on now when this this was noise abroad the multitude came together and were confounded because that every man heard them speak in his own language there were people from every nation and here these people in the upper room who were 120 they heard them speaking in their own language and they were baffled they were all amazed and marvel saying one to the other behold or not all these would speak Galileans that all these people are right from around here right now how do they know how to speak what we speak in our country's far off let me move down to verse verse 12 they were all amazed and were in doubt saying one to another what meaning this and others mocked see they this is discount right here right when you get a discount on a buy on some merchandise something's taken away right they were amazed and were in doubt saying one to another what means this what is this all about and other people mocked them said these men are full of new wine all it is is they just drunk verse 14 but Peter standing up with the 11 lifted up his voice and said unto them ye men of Judea and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem be this known unto you and hearken to my word for these are not drunk come on somebody they're not drunk as you supposed seeing is but the third hour of the day but this is that in our youth the ebonics was what it is and that's what they asked right here what it is that's going on here and it came back this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel and it shall come to pass in the last day said God I will pour out of my spirit upon all flesh and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy and your young men shall see visions and your old men shall dream dreams he said it's happening what was prophesied back in the old testament he said now the Lord has shown up yes he said this is not something strange it wasn't something that came about that we were unprepared for or that we had never heard of he said but this is what the prophet spoke of in Joel the prophet Joel he foresaw thank you he foresaw the day that the Lord was going to work his work it shall come to pass in the last day says God I will pour out of my spirit on all flesh and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy and young men shall see visions old men shall dream dreams and on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out into those of my spirit and they shall prophesy so now let me stop for a minute he said the prophet says God is going to do a new thing God's gonna work a work like you've never seen before God's gonna call together some people who are willing to sacrifice and to work and to give their all into the kingdom he said that he's going to call everybody this is not going to be just in a small group but everyone he's got he said I'm going to call some out from over here and some out from over here and some some back some of them back there yonder we said I'm going to call from all generation all folks all people no matter what their status is he said I'm calling them and I'm calling him into the kingdom I'm going to put my spirit in him I'm going to cause him to live holy and righteous and they're going to stand against the adversary hallelujah hallelujah thank god he included me thank god he included me when he said whosoever will let him come and drink of the waters of life I heard him he called me hallelujah hallelujah he said and I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs in the earth beneath blood and fire and vapor of smoke the sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the great and notable day of the Lord comes he said this is going to be noted this is going to be taken notice of so he's saying to those doubters don't be so smart don't be so intellectual that you can't hear what he's saying he said the sun is going to turn dark and the moon's gonna turn into blood before that great and notable day of the Lord comes and it shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved he said the day is coming the day of salvation he said God's opening his arms he's calling men to him ye men of Israel hear these words Jesus of Nazareth a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs which God did by him in the midst of you come on somebody and ye yourselves yes sir also know he said Jesus was here and he did all kinds of miracles and wonders yes sir and you saw it it's undeniable you can't pretend you didn't see it because you saw it him being delivered by the determinate counsel and knowledge of God you have taken and by wicked hands have crucified and slain he said y'all kill Jesus y'all kill the Savior yes sir y'all kill the one who came to bring joy and peace and happiness into all of those who would come into the kingdom he said but y'all didn't find him like you wanted to find him you took him and you nailed him to a tree yes sir y'all did it he said but God has raised him up having loosed the pains of death yes sir because it was not possible that he should be holding of it he said the the grave couldn't hold him down no sir no matter how they thought that they had gotten rid of him no matter what they had stacked on the outside of the tomb whatever they had done to prevent him from getting up he said you're lost he got up anyway he got up David speaking concerning him I foresaw the Lord always before my face for he is on my right hand yeah that I should not be moved I shall not shall not I will not be moved I found the Savior I found the Savior and I know who he is no question in my military mind I know who he is therefore did my heart rejoice and my tongue was glad more overall also my flesh so rest in hope I've got a hope now yes sir now that Jesus came and did what he came to do I believe him I hold on to the faith and now I have hope because I will not leave my soul in hell neither wilt thou suffer thine holy one to seek corruption thou hath made known to me the way of life thou shalt make me full of joy with thy condiments men and brethren let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David that he is both dead and buried yes and his separate is with us unto this day this day he said I passed there just till the day and he was still there therefore being a prophet and knowing that God has sworn with an oath to him that in that of the fruit of his loins according to flesh he would rise he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne he said I know who he is the prophecy referred to Jesus and his resurrection he's seeing this before yes spake of resurrection of Christ that his soul was not left in hell neither his flesh did see corruption yeah this Jesus has God raised up where are we all our witnesses we all witness to him when when he came back therefore being by the right hand of God exalted and having received of the Father promise of the Holy Ghost he has showed forth this which he now see and hear David is not ascended into the heavens but he has said himself the Lord says unto my Lord sit thou on my right hand till I make thy foals thy foot stoop therefore all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made the same Jesus whom you have crucified both Lord and Christ he's the Lord and he's the boss come on somebody hallelujah hallelujah in these next couple verses we have a word that I want to help us understand imperatives of salvation and imperatives imperative is an essential or urgent thing it's imperative that you get the dinner done on time there's company coming well verse 37 people were were convicted and they cried out when Peter gave this great sermon people were pricked in their hearts they began to see the light now when they heard this they were pricked in their hearts and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles men and brethren what shall we do the first imperative is repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost let me stop for a second here Peter said unto them you got to make a decision this is a point of decision if you don't make this decision if you don't get it right you lost forever right he said you've got to repent you've got to be sorry for your sins and you got to tell the Lord Lord I know it's my fault I can't blame it on anything else in spite of what I was born into and all of that kind of stuff he said I repent I'm sorry that that I did wrong after I got here with that in my purview to repent and then be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus the Christ Jesus the Savior Jesus the Redeemer the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost he said it is a promise that if you come to Jesus and you come to him right he said you can't lose hallelujah puts us in a terrible condition yeah you know there'll be no sin in heaven you can't get to heaven you can't get in heaven in your sins it's imperative that you put away your foolishness stop all your mess stop being crazy do what you know is right yeah many of us born and raised in the church and we do anything that comes to our mind you can't go to heaven you know thou art inexcusable oh man oh woman cause you know better the role said make it plain I talk about what I know scripture said we speak what we know what we know and we testify that which I said see yeah well I talk about the Alexander family cause I'm one of them and I know you can't get away with sin we've known that from birth we were taught you got to be right and the house we grew up in I shared this with somebody recently the rule was you don't have to be saved you have to act like you saved until you get saved in other words you ain't doing that up in here I thank the Lord for understanding I understand when you make a threat if you don't follow up behind it guess what it didn't happen the threat didn't go if you're wrong you're wrong you got admitted and you got acquitted there's a judgment that comes with knowing our parents will say why did you do that and you have to make up something well that ain't good enough what else you got when you found in transgression you're gonna get it now in the house of God there are requirements and you've got to live by every one of them you can't do what you want to do you got to do just like Jesus in the garden the Lord not my will not what I want to do not what makes me pleasurable not what brings brings happiness to me not my will but your will be done in me the truth of the matter is everybody who's in church everybody who's been around church everybody who's pretending to be in church we all got to get it right or else God has given a promise now let me go back to the positive what I had to do I had to interject there's judgment if you don't but if you do promises unto you and to your children and to all that are far off right even as many as the Lord our God shall call God has given every one of us a promise and the promise wasn't coming with the with the man in a red suit and reindeer's and all that kind of stuff the promise is much greater than that so you know how it was when you couldn't wait until it was Christmas waiting on Santa Claus but that was a promise it was a false promise but this is a true promise the Lord has promised you great things here he's given us assurance God's promises and God's can't read my right sorry about that but God has given us a promise but promises unto you and your children to all that are far off even as many as the Lord our God shall call and with many other words did he testify and exhort saying save yourself save yourself from this untoward generation can you understand this this is untoward generation like we've never seen before you can't be playing around and fooling around and say someday you got to save yourself I can't save you nobody else other than you can save you make yourself be saved I can't control your emotions can't control your desires Jesus is calling and he wants to save us and he wants when he saves us he wants us to stay saved y'all wouldn't expect in this for Pentecost Sunday guess what it is what it is it is what he said saying I ain't saying what I say I didn't write this I'm saying what he said he said it to this house save yourself first lady to do a good job raising our our family and she had an exhortation that she would pass out from time to time stop being silly stop being silly silly don't pay silly costs well thank god that somebody heard verse 41 said then they gladly received his words were baptized and the same day there were added unto them about 3 000 souls and they continued steadfastly in the apostles doctrine and fellowship and in breaking of bread and in prayers and fear came upon every soul and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles all that believed were together and had all things common and sold their possessions and goods and parted them to all men as every man had the need and they continued daily in one with one accord in the temple and in breaking bread from house to house did eat the meat with gladness and singleness of heart praising God and having favor with all the people and the Lord added to the church such as should be saved now the call to Pentecost is to save yourself yes get saved get saved for real this is not the power of the holy ghost is that they want to know what is this it's the power of holy ghost that will cause you to be saved have eternal life with our Father in heaven that's the message and amen amen and I don't apologize because this is my job see you know there there are people who have received Jesus who lost their faith if you lose your faith and if you don't find it before Jesus comes to take you away or becomes to take the church away you lost forever and hell you lift your eyes up hello hear the blessed Savior calling the oppressed are you heavy laden come to me and rest come my yoke is easy at my burden life oh hear the blessed Savior calling the oppressed are you heavy laden come to me and rest come no longer tarry I your load will bear bring me every burden bring me every care oh come come to me and oh take a ball I have a question if I ask you what the priest pastor preached some of you I wouldn't even know what he preached you know why because he was on your cell phone looking at your cell phones you didn't even look up when the pastor was preaching we got to stop that if we're going to get to heaven we got to listen to what comes over this pulpit in the word of God the word is what's going to save you the singing is good but guess what's going to save you the word so we got to stop it so I'm gonna ask you all when you come to the house of God please turn off your cell phones and don't be looking at your cell phones because a lot of you all and see the first lady's job the pastor can't see all this but one of the jobs of the first lady is to be the watchman on the wall and I watch I see all and no all so please put your cell phones down unless you read the scripture but you don't be because you'll be texting and all that kind of stuff if you're going to listen to God and what he has to say to you on Pentecost Sunday or any other Sunday and this message is a message that we really need to get in our spirit on Pentecost Sunday Pentecost Sunday if you don't know it was a feast of harvest that was celebrated 50 days after the resurrection of Jesus Christ so we say seven weeks seven Sundays after Easter that's when it happens and Bishop talked about repent and be baptized and then he talked about repentance first before he said anything about Pentecost Sunday about the holocaust coming he read the scripture in Psalms 51 and then as I look down further that this is my favorite scripture whether you know it or not it's saying verse number 10 created me a clean heart a clean heart created me a clean heart oh Lord and renew a right spirit within me and this is what I'm up here for is to let you know God can renew a right spirit in you and then look at look at the verse number 11 cast not away from cast not away from that present cast me not away from my presence and take not a holy spirit but allow it to us or guess what it's gone it's lay a dormant in your system it needs to be rejuvenated in your system he talked about in acts verse of that chapter 2 about the when initial outpouring of the holocaust but if you look in acts chapter 4 you will see where they were refilled they were filled again they were filled again so because you got baptized and received the holocaust 10 years ago 20 years ago and hasn't spoken tongue since you need to be refilled again you need to get it again or even let it rejuvenate it because you really if you really come to the Lord you don't really lose it but guess what you didn't mean you let the holy spirit rejuvenate itself again in your life he said cast me not away from that present and take not that holy spirit from me we don't want the Lord to take the holy spirit away from us so we have to do what he wants to do and we cannot go to heaven on our cell phones cell phones is not going to take you to heaven word of God is going to take you to heaven he also said something about save yourself from this untoward generation now you can ignore me I don't you know I'm it's me but the words they save yourself if you intend to save yourself you're going to listen to the word of God come forth before this full pit you're going to listen what God has to say and guess what people are leaving this world every day young old middle age you don't know when your time is coming but you got to be ready for his soon coming so what I want to tell us is that we have to really determine in our hearts are we living for God or we're just coming to church just to be coming a formality thing but we have to really put in our heart are we going to really be Pentecostal in our walk with God that means are we going to let the spirit of God work through us it should talk about how what the Holy Ghost can do for you and then you talk about the judgment that may come if you don't do what's right judgment is coming and Jesus is coming soon so we got to get it right we got to get it right all this week over on on tv I've been listening to messes about Pentecost Sundays and being baptized in Jesus name and being filled with the Holy Ghost I've been listening to those sermons and we got to get it right and we got the day like David creating me a clean heart oh lord and renew a right spirit me renew me renew me so I won't make me over again so what I want today if anybody need to be renewed anybody want to come up and say lord forgive me I want to be saved I know I have been doing right I know I haven't listened to the Word of God coming forth by bishop today forgive me I want to do us right if anybody want to do that if you want to come forth come forth and do that but it's on you you got to save yourself I can't save you is there anybody who would like to come and ask God to help I want that whole back row to come up that whole back row back there come up hold back row I want sister amber to come up to I want sister shah to come up come up nor come on nor come on nor and after tonight after today we're not gonna have to pray this prayer no more with you guys you know why because

Live from Seattle, Washington, it's theCUBE at Tableau Conference 2014. Brought to you by headline sponsor, Tableau. Here are your hosts, John Furrier and Jeff Kelly. Hello everyone, we are here live in Seattle for Tableau's user conference, technology conference, data14, that's the hashtag, data14. Go to crowdchat.net slash data14, want to see group conversation with our new innovative engagement container public data, go public beta, go check that out. I'm John Furrier, this is theCUBE. We go out and extract the civil noise. Ending day one of Tableau's data14. I'm here with my co-host this week, Jeff Kelly, leading analyst and big data with Wikibon. Jeff, breaking it down. I would sum up today as Kool-Aid, euphoric, exciting, growth, customers and just the future's very bright for Tableau. Clearly, big data is expanding. Obviously Tableau made the market with visualization. They've identified their market segment, they're not trying to be the stack, they're trying to be dancing around the stack and be that layer, that shim layer on top for visualization. What's your take? Well look, they clearly, they are excited. They feel like they've got a huge opportunity from a total available market standpoint. We asked them what their TAM is, it's, well, there's 55 million corporations out there. They're all possible Tableau customers and they are in a market space, data visualization, which pretty much touches just about every vertical market you can think of. Clearly they're excited. The keynote this morning, CEO, Christian Chabot, he always gives a great keynote. He's very energetic. He really talks about empowering users to be creative, to be data artists. He contrasts that with the kind of old way of doing business intelligence. Contrast that with the slow, rigid ways of traditional enterprise software and how really Tableau wants users to feel like they're working with data, not with software. And I think that's a really good messaging and I think that's a really good point that he made. From the point of view of the company itself, clearly they are in hyper growth mode. Added 2,200 customers last quarter. They're up to 1,500 employees. That's up 65% year over year. They are investing heavily. Chabot mentioned they're going to invest more in the next two years in R&D than they have in the last 10. We had on Francois from product management. We know he's excited about that. He's certainly excited. That's a lot of dough to do a lot of creative things. As I mentioned a few times throughout the day today, the biggest challenges for Tableau going forward are maintaining the customer focus while they're growing this quickly. I mean it's just difficult to scale at the rate that they are scaling and maintain the focus on customers and listening to your customers, getting that feedback and pumping that back into the product. We'll see how they do that. They're going to have to rely more on their partners to do a lot of the, to be the touch points with a lot of their customers. You simply can't do it at the scale that they're reaching. So that's one of the biggest challenges. The other thing I mentioned early in the day was their mobile capabilities. Now they have a long way to go, but Project Elastic I think is one way to, I mean they are rewriting Tableau for the tablet for the mobile device. That's a huge investment. Really impressed with that because clearly mobile is one area where they weren't the strongest. They know they have to go there. There's mobile first visualization competitors that they have to contend with now. So really impressed with that. The cloud story, I think the cloud story needs a little bit more work. We'll see how that plays out. We're going to have some more conversations tomorrow with Google, with AWS. We'll talk to them about the integration with Tableau's online offering. So overall I'd say it was a really solid day. Talked to a lot of partners as well. So they're building the ecosystem. They're building the product. They're investing heavily. And of course they closed the stock exchange today remotely out here on Seventh and Pike. So that was exciting for the Tableau team. So overall a really good day here. I'm interested tomorrow again to talk to those cloud partners and we'll see what they have to say. I totally agree with you. I would add my impression and my takeaway from today is kind of at a high level is this is very Apple-like company. The obviously ironically Apple had their big event on 99 which is today, the iPhone 6 Plus, all the innovation around that. The iWatch, this is really about user experience that is certainly Tableau's strength. They are focusing on the user experience of managing data, using data, having it being visualizing, having it interactive with end users, not so much geeks, but also, and then the analytics behind it. So data visualization analytics, but it's very Apple-esque like we heard from Francois who runs product management. They're hiring game developers, designers. They're doing the things that Apple does to make the product really simple and elegant. To me, that defines the culture of Tableau. You combine that with the customer-centric philosophy. You have a pretty damn impressive configuration there. And they're Amazon-like in that they are pumping all of their profit back into R&D and back into the company. So clearly, they're still investing heavily. So you bring in the Amazon meets Apple. This is kind of the vibe. And again, product excellence is what they care about. They care about customer needs. So customer and product-centric, product market fit that defines it and the founders are still around. I love a culture where we had their top executive, certainly their top female executive as well, Kelly Wright, come in. She's the first sales rep Tableau hired. There are people still with the company. No one's leaving. That's a great sign of health. You have a culture. Some one customer, Dr. Randy called it a cult, a cult-like feeling. They pump special oxygen in the room, said Francois. These are some of the soundbites. People are smiling. They're smiling. They're dialing. Deals are getting done. So Tableau is just scratching the surface. Again, 20,000 customers, they see 55 million as their total just market. Again, if they can maintain that Apple-esque-like feeling, managing that massive growth, managing a growing business at their level could be the biggest challenge I see with Tableau. Keeping the personnel hires and tight, making sure the culture extends, making sure the product excellence systems are in place, the discipline, and then ultimately having the customer satisfaction. To me, that's the things that I'll be watching and will be drilling in tomorrow. And again, I just tweeted. This puts Microsoft, Oracle, SAP on notice. The born-in-the-cloud visualization of analytics with the user experience component is a really, really interesting proposition. If they pull on that horizontal overlay on top of existing systems, Tableau could set the standard for the visualization layer for data. With the analytics engine and their GL behind it, they could be the operating system in this born-in-the-cloud SaaS platform as a service market that we see developing very quickly. Yep. Looking forward to tomorrow. We're going to kick off the morning. We're going to be simulcasting the keynote here from Neil deGrasse Tyson from, well, I was going to say Cosmos Fane. He's done a few other things, but nevertheless, that should be a fun keynote to watch. Then of course, here on theCUBE, we're going to have, just to run down some of the guests we're going to have. We're going to have folks from LinkedIn, Wells Fargo. I mentioned AWS, Google, MarkLogic and a few others. So it's going to be a good day. Tomorrow I'm sure we're going to dig more into all these issues around mobile cloud, partnerships, the ecosystem, and of course practitioners and users. What are they doing with Tableau, with data to really get business done? So the final question I want to ask you, Jeff Kelly, is will you buy an iPhone 6 and an iWatch? I will definitely buy an iPhone 6. I'm not the early, early adopter, so I'll probably wait for the second generation of the iWatch. Although I believe John has called the Apple Watch. They're not calling it iWatch. I think I do have that right. Well, to me, I'm geeking out on the watch. I'm definitely buying it, no brainer, getting that. That's just pure vanity. I haven't worn a watch in 25 years. And so that's going to be my first watch. It's going to be exciting. You know, like I said, Google and Apple, the only two companies that I can put out there that I can see inventing everything that was shown on Star Trek. Soon, everything that was ever in Star Trek, Be Me Up Scotty, Hologram, all that stuff will be invented by Apple and Google. And again, that's what we're seeing with the, and it's certainly going to be a big data world. Certainly exciting day today, we were live in Seattle. We were also watching what was going on with Apple, those news is everywhere. I mean, there's so much Apple news going around. But again, ironically, the tie-in here at Tableau, very Apple-esque company for big data. And if they can crack the nut on the growth and continue to provide the user experience having a very simple and elegant, easy-to-use product that provides that value, they will be a winner. And that's ultimately the test, Jeff. So exciting. We'll be here all day tomorrow. Keep watching theCUBE. This is live from Seattle, calling it a day one. That's a wrap. See you tomorrow.


Hi, welcome to nursing school explain in this video on coronary artery bypass graft or as it sometimes is also cold called cabbage now a coronary artery bypass graft does just that it bypasses a coronary artery think about a detour if you go in to drive somewhere There's a blockage for some reason because of some construction and so the detour takes you around the construction Where the construction site in this coronary artery is a blockage and so we're going to create a detour from other blood vessels So let's look at the indications here So typically the patient has coronary artery disease or has had episodes of acute coronary syndrome That I cannot be many medically managed So the medications that were giving the patient for outpatient treatment of acute coronary syndrome or unstable Angina or a stable angina for that matter are not working and When there is an occlusion to the left coronary artery or Three or more vessels are blocked then a coronary artery bypass graft is indicated Further if the patient on the wind an angiogram or a PCI Procudaneous coronary intervention and it failed to open up the blockage or it's not possible Because the location of the blockage is maybe in a spot that a stint cannot be placed or some other things impede The the opening of that artery then again the cabbage is indicated and furthermore Patients with a history of diabetes Chronic kidney disease or left ventricular dysfunction Also have a higher incidence of cabbage because they had such higher risk for developing other problems down the right on the line So let's look at what this procedure looks like so first of all It's a sternotomy sternotomy meaning that the sternum is going to be opened to expose the heart So that the surgeon can work on it The patient is also placed on a cardiopulmonary bypass So which means that the blood is pumped out of the heart into a machine where it is Oxygenated and then put back into the patient and what that does it kind of deflates the heart So that it doesn't have to beat and the patient still gets Oxygenated by the machine which is really the purpose and the function of the heart So the machine will do this function oxygenating and pumping of the blood while the surgeon can look at the heart and do the surgery and then there is what's called harvested vessels and so we need to create this detour by Using different blood vessels from different locations The most commonly used blood vessels are either the internal memory artery or the saphenous vein from the leg Because those are over time have just shown that they have the best success And so these harvested vessels are removed from their origin and then there is an Anastomosis or they are anastomosed to the coronary artery distal to the blockage Now it's easier to understand if we look at the graph here So here we have the heart and here we have the coronary arteries up here We have the aorta with the aortic arch and the three branches that go to the carotid arteries and then also the subclavian arteries So here in this blockage here if we have it here and remember that the blood gets ejected from the heart enters the aorta and then the first thing that the heart feeds right away is a coronary arteries because it needs to perfuse itself and so when the blood gets ejected here this Cabbage done with a saphenous vein basically this this harvested vessel is sewn in to the aortic arch and Then distal to the blockage. So now we have created this detour around our construction site of the blockage right here Similarly to the internal mammary artery What's a little bit different is that the internal mammary artery already originates in the subclavian vein here So we just kind of access it here anastomose it or suture it into this blood vessel and then create this detour again Distal to the blockage So now this blockage really doesn't matter because the lower part of the heart is being perfused by this bypass by this detour I hope the analogy with the with the construction site works Now as you can imagine this is major major surgery the patient's sternum is open The heart is exposed. We're putting them on a machine that will oxygenate and pump their blood So this patient after the procedure will need to remain in the ICU for 24 to 36 hours Depending on their comorbidities and how the procedure went how many arteries and so forth Now there will be some hemodynamic monitoring required because this is a patient who's very labile initially We have just manipulated their heart So they will need a central line and a pulmonary artery catheter to take a keep a close eye on their cardiac output The patient also will have a chest tube because we have opened up the sternum with the sternotomy And so the chest tubes kind of help to get the extra air that's now in that sternum in that chest cavity to get that out The patient will be intubated So we'll have to manage their ET tube and their ventilator in conjunction with our respiratory therapists Most definitely they'll need to be on a cardiac monitor to observe for any dysrhythmias There will be what's called epicardial pacing wires and these are wires that are attached directly into the patient's heart Because there is such a high incidence of dysrhythmias after the procedure that way We don't have to defibrillate them from the outside, but because the wires go to the epicardium itself, we can just shock the heart muscle by itself rather than having to shock the patient with the pads that we usually do through the chest wall With most certainly the patient will also have a catheter or a urinary catheter We'll need to check their urine output very closely to see how they are perfusing They will also have an NG tube to deflate the stomach because they're intubated And once they come out of this acute phase in the post-op period They will typically be transferred to either the telefloor or step down unit depending on whatever is available at the hospital Once the patient is hemodynamically stable and extubated So they might still come to a tele or a step down unit with an NG tube With some epicardial pacing wires with the chest tube and most definitely on a cardiac monitor And once the patient goes through that post-op period, they will be going to cardiac rehab Where they can now learn to to live with this new normal And it's usually a holistic approach where the patient can be taught lifestyle changes Because we don't want this from happening again And most definitely we don't want that bypass graft to get clogged or to have a blockage Like the previous or the original arteries did As for complications you can imagine there are many That can be bleeding because we're accessing the heart itself Which can lead to anemia and and other problems Certainly there can be dysrhythmias because the heart muscle itself is being manipulated and it certainly can get irritated from there We can also have fluid and electrolyte imbalances As well as infections and that ranges from catheter so urinary tract infection to maybe an pneumonia and of course incision site Can also be infected So um overall this is a very serious procedure And of course patient teaching pre-op will be very important also to prepare them for this and then also Tell them what's going to happen in the immediate post-op period And this is quite a long recovery until they get discharged from cardiac rehab So thank you so much for watching this video on the coronary artery bypass graft I hope the analogy with the detour of the traffic jam has helped you understand this Please give me the thumbs up if you've enjoyed the video and i'll see you right here pretty soon on nursing school explain Thanks for watching


It's on page number three sir. Okay. No, no, not that one. Where's it? That's it. I'm sorry. Expensive. Assets. I got it. Thank you. It's not an hour and a half. Awesome. Oh, here it is. Last page. Yes. So, you know, loose concentration. So, my plan is to speed things up a little bit too. All right. Hit it. Here we're issuing to 182. They were issuing equipment to high mars and different secondary items they have there with them. We were issuing that equipment to them. So, the host nation has helped us from the beginning with the high mars and the secondary items they have there with them. So, the host nation has helped us from the beginning with the initial planning conference, final planning conference, just getting everything prepared and then helping us on the ground with adjustments, with transportation coming in, security, food to support the unit as the unit grows in for them to receive their high mars. Our mission is to fuel so we have to go grab bulk fuel and then prepare for the truck to fuel the jet launchers. It begins, I believe, on the 6th or 7th. That's when we first draw bulk fuel. I'm kind of nervous about it and excited just to see how it goes being with like multiple batteries and hopefully we do get to see the jet launchers. So, that would be cool.


voice we got a first timer here Alan first timer popping a cherry Tracy guns himself I'm a virgin I'm ready it's gonna be a lot of fun looking forward to it that's what we should say LA guns black diamonds we're gonna be released April 14th on Frontier's Records yep and like Alan said finally on the show Tracy guns easier we got him we nabbed him so many questions this might go on for a few hours it could it could the older I get the more questions there are Tracy's got a life we don't so I don't go ahead no no hey I mean listen to the album congratulations again what's this your fourth album in 2018 something like that so what's your secret to success of reading for having all this prolific prolific output in the last couple years boredom you know you buy mannequins I play the guitar so tell us about this the musical direction on black diamonds versed checkered past like what did you do differently musically or you just kept the same formula I you know it's always such a mysterious question to me too you just kind of got to go with whatever comes out you know I mean LA guns isn't specific like some things that I do are very specific and you know I can focus on a sound or you know a vibe or something like that but LA guns is kind of all over the place and it always has been so it's like you know the playground the giant sandbox where all the other kids left all their toys and you get to play you know with these trucks these balls these jacks these shovels kind of thing and so I really don't put much as far as musical limitations with LA guns you know so I guess you guys are familiar with LA guns so I mean there could be you know some extreme metal and reggae on the same album you know what I mean it's kind of just as long as Phil sings it sounds like LA guns that's kind of my rule of thumb yeah I agree I agree I think I think he even squeezed in an album with Michael sweet during this period and that was very specific no reggae on that one yeah there's no reggae and now I'm working on that second record right now that's what I just started demoing up my son bomb yeah son bomb to is coming okay it's always writing the reign of guns and Moses but you guys you guys go way back you guys go how long you know Michael I'm known of Michael since I was about 16 or 17 we didn't become friends until 2018 believe it or not wow yeah yeah do you know him before he was a Christian I knew of him but no I don't think so rocks regime like right right yeah I think but I think they were Christian too I know I think no that there was a transition it was sort of like they start off like this and then they sort of convert it out a bunch of Jews and then they said fuck this Jew shit now we're Christians so let's change the name in a way in awakening I don't want I don't want to reign on Michael's parade but it was like an awakening yeah it's great and striper's great they're so heavy striper yeah yeah yeah yeah so tell us about like I'm listening to this album and I mean I'm hearing Led Zeppelin oh yeah I mean is this a conscious decision to sort of like amen we're going more hard rock and blues here with Led Zeppelin I mean I'm assuming this is Jimmy Page is probably a year of yours well he's my whole reason for existence some things just really sound like Led Zeppelin when I write them you know and then especially you know because we do everything remotely now so it's not like everybody's in the same room and like oh I got this riff mate you give me a drum beat here so when I send you know a piece of music off to Adam Hamilton who's our drummer in the studio and he does everything yeah I mean I'll tell him yeah play exactly like John Bonham and and you know get that sound you know he's like all right let's do this and the opening track you betray actually Adam had recorded that drum track on his own without any music and sent me the drum track and said hey you know could you write something to this and we never even edited the drum track I just put the drums up I started playing for about 15-20 minutes I'm like this is the immigrant song you know so I mean you know so that one well yeah you know it's it's it's pretty zeppy but I mean my my production style the way I record and the way that I want to hear the layers is very Led Zeppelin but that really also comes from guys like Andy Johns and Eddie Kramer those engineers producers that worked with Zeppelin that I also worked with when I was younger and to me you know you're not going to do better than Zeppelin you know I mean there's just not never going to happen so when so when something comes out of me that sounds pretty zeppy I make sure that we take it you know to the extreme you know to make sure that you know I don't get caught in in retro way you know what I mean to make sure you know if I'm gonna write something from 1970 well you know better use modern production so it doesn't sound exactly like that you know things like that so there's tricks to kind of get away from it so LA Guns doesn't sound like a Zeppelin cover band and you know and Phil for years I don't know if it's complaining he's like you share a lot Jimmy Page mate yeah yeah you know I do and you know I figure a page you know borrowed from his favorites you know that I'll just borrow from Jimmy Page yeah pretty good example the thing you got a borrow from somebody that's not a bad guy to borrow from so yeah I mean I'm not gonna borrow from you know anything less you guys and then but most of the stuff that doesn't sound like Zeppelin you know that just kind of channels through and it's amalgamation of many influences and styles and I think that's what I like about you as a guitarist and a composer like you take a song like diamonds and I think you like knocked it out of the park if this was the 80s this was sort of been like okay maybe not the ballad of Jane I said it's kind of in that vein but it's right I don't know I think I would call it I don't know organic I don't know like that would be could be played on the radio that guys would love it girls would love it it's just Alan how would you describe it it's a big one you know yeah it's it's one of my faves off the album for sure yeah yeah I mean in the you know everything from the arrangement of the music to the vocal to the lyrics to the sound you know it's just one of those ones that you spend a you know I spent a little extra time on kind of orchestrating the guitars because you know we don't have the luxury of hiring orchestras and you know we don't have the luxury of hiring anybody so you know I got I got to spend the time you know to really do my best Jimmy Page kind of production deal on something like that but you know it's the end of the day you know I must have listened to that song a thousand times since I got the mix you know six seven months ago and you're right I mean if any big artist did it at any time in history it would be a massive hit and I'm aware of that because it strikes a nerve the lyrics the vocals and the music all strike this nerve it could have been written by the who it could have been written by Led Zeppelin and anybody that's the shame of today's society where the music industry well something like this will get lost yeah yeah I mean especially you know you got it you got to have a twenty seven thousand dollar budget just to go to radio just just to hey here's my 27 grand see what you can do you know so you know our label doesn't do that so it's it's everything has to be the satisfaction of people that are LA Guns fans but number one for me you know I make records that I want to hear now you know without any you know pretense of you know we're gonna be a mega hit you know they have to be hits to the band we have to love them and then our fans love them and that's where our success lies right now that's it I was watching a sound city doc yesterday and they were saying you know there's something about everybody being in the room at the same time and and you hey what was that you just did what was that little groove you did and now you said you're everybody's recording separately yeah what's your take on on both of those situations um you know I've done both obviously our first few records I mean a lot of the records were done that way for me you always end up as isolated anyways yes you can go and you can play you record the drums and you track the guitar maybe some bass but you always go back and fix it you know what I mean you know when you record like that you're trying to get the best drum take you know so so maybe the drummer gets the luxury of listening to the band you know the bass player guitar player kind of going back and forth and pushing and pulling but I don't feel that it's that much different the way that I do it because you know I record the guitars do a click track very loosely and then that goes to the drummer so with me playing bass and playing guitar to a click track they're very loose you know they're there you know it's not perfection it never is with us and then I find that later you know when I get that drum track I'm able to play around the drums instead of right on top of the drums and the the luxury of time is what is the difference you know back then it's like get it done you know go rehearse for a month and then get in and then hit record and there's a lot of chefs in the kitchen man you know that way and some of the some some of the producers engineers were great and some of them just have their own ideas and with LA guns it's just it's my vision you know and it's what my ears want to hear so there's a lot of struggles in the early days you know a lot of friction and that's so much arguing I mean there were arguments but I mean but it's just a lot of compromise you know and you know a lot of times you know a producer would say oh you need to really shred this up or you need to lay back on this and most of the time I felt the opposite most of the time I'm like like yeah the music's going really fast maybe the solo should be slow you know maybe it should be listenable maybe it should be this you know cut the tempo and half for the lead guitar or really slows on where you know you got to liven it up you got to make some dynamic happen and then play something fast over it because it's more of a surprise and since I only listened to ten rock bands my whole life pretty much it's like I'm just gonna take their advice I'm not gonna pretend anything like that hold on one second this is my third X your third where's the check yeah kind of there you guys I see you're wearing a Orianti shirt that's Ori yeah she has new merch yeah she's not my ex yet the current current we call her yes she's like my current love okay that's nice that's nice so as a producer you know we have Michael sweet he's been a guest on the show since we started the metal voice and he's always saying I could go back and listen something I should have done that different I should done that different what how are you as a producer um there's a lot of stuff on the early records I do that with you know God a number of things not so much arrangement choices or song choices a lot of questionable notes and some solos sounds things like that that's what I was talking about that compromise earlier but like black diamonds checkered past these two records I think I got them right like I listened to them all the way through and and there's I'm not inspecting them you know like some of the other ones waking the dead like that too it's just from start to finish I love that record you know no no no little no cringes but there's some stuff on some earlier stuff that's a little cringy totally yeah I think you've it's the times right now you have the time to fix those mistakes like you said words in the past hey man that's a hundred bucks an hour for the studio time or a thousand dollars an hour you're in you're out let's go let's go you know kind of yeah but in a way that that's inspires creativity to Alan's point the cues right like you're getting inspired and sometimes that spontaneous inspiration is what makes greatness sometimes sometimes it's a complete failure but I'm that's a lot of moments right you know recording albums and demo tapes and you know playing with musicians live with you know other musicians and stuff and an LA Guns live too because we improvise a lot so there's a lot of those like whoa moments when playing you know with humans at the same time there's no doubt about it and I can I can remember those kind of moments as early as like nine ten years old of my friends you know in the garage but you're making records right you know you're recording records and just the the word record right a record it's a it's a record of a document it's a record of a sound it's a record of a visual it's a record and it lasts forever so for me and Phil like I said you know we really make the records for ourselves now so that we are happy you know musically so that we listen to them so that so that our time's not wasted you know that's what it feels like a lot of times you know you spend a year on a record you know with with other people engineers producers management and you know even the business manager has to throw their two cents in you know and the records are great but you're just like yeah you know why did I listen to that guy you know why why this why that and you know and you do those things when you're younger and hopes for commercial success you know you just do you you trust somebody else because they have had more success in their past than you so if you're smart you know you you you well let me get this right if you want to be smart you listen to your gut because your gut tells you personally what's going on but if you want to be right and you want to make friends and you want to be logical then you listen to your older peers that have more experience but art has no logic you know at that point and that's what you come to you know it's a realization at some point where art is not logical you know that's what makes art interesting is that it's like whoa you know I wasn't expecting that wow you know oh god it's sound you know I can relate to what that guy's saying you know all these things that go into just one minute of recorded music you know there has to be it has to be interesting and that's the thing that I'm a stickler with is we don't have a lot of songs that you could strip the mute the the vocals and lyrics away from the music would still be interesting you know and that's kind of my job in the band is to make sure that the music stands out its own you know what we'll jump into pass a little bit but before we do on the new album give me one sentence that describes this new album this is for headline purposes what one sentence that describes your new album that's all order of fries it's marketing let's see you met me on the street I'm a complete stranger and I go hey mr. mr. guns you have a new album out what it's about how does it sound like what does it sound like it's the greatest hair metal album ever ever that's what ever okay ever okay if I say to you I don't know what hair metal is what would you say well it's the medallion you wear around your neck and it's got a beard and mustache it's hair metal I don't even know what I think of hair metal I think of really bad clothes and and hair sticking up all over the place okay and hot chicks all right there you go that's what I think of when I and I think of her right all right okay let's jump you know since you brought it up hair metal I've been reading this I just finished this book nothing but a good time and you're you're you're one of the major guys in here they're right back to your high school days when you formed it was some of your earlier demands yeah because I'm hair metals oh there you go you know so yeah rich beanstalks a good friend of mine he's the guy that put the book together and uh you know he ropes me in on all the good stuff like you know what color nicky six is underwear you know are we talking 84 or 85 right yeah I mean I was talking about hair metal for you when when did the kind of that whole scene the sunset strip scene start dying out or died out what year oh really I mean I guess it started getting just real silly around 89 okay where where you know there was more emphasis on fun and getting dressed up than music at some point you know um you know to me poison is the ultimate hair metal band because they had great songs admittedly they didn't care about being virtuosos you know bob doll would always tell me you know I want to be successful and I want to have songs that everybody can sing right now you know um and they did that you know and they you know they're into the dolls but they were also into into the suite and they were and they were into scorpions and aerosmith and all these things so to me like that's really a great successful hair band you know they weren't trying to stretch the boundaries of rock music um which is a which is a great to know that early on when you're putting a band together you know I think that has a lot of foresight and that is the logic that works for poison for sure you know um and then you kind of have warrants which was like the five piece poison with maybe a little bit more you know emphasis on the musical side of things but still the the big song mentality you know um especially for the time you know that they were they were great at that um and then there's dirty ass little LA guns you know so 89 was the year that things started getting a little ridiculous and maybe redundant even well here they did you know an LA for sure you know um we were going to more alternative clubs by that point because going to bazaaries and the troupe and and the whiskey and rocksy at that time it was just kind of like seeing the same band over and over again and I mean it's fun you know it was fun but you know I mean being a musician the type of musician I that I am you know I've always been into the dirtier side of like garage rock for example and and you know kind of psycho dirty rock ability kind of stuff punk rock obviously but then I also love metal you know like real metal um you know maiden and death leopards first records stuff like that was a had a really big impact on me especially because at the time all I was really listening to was like Van Halen Aussie Sabbath Zeppelin and Aerosmith and Ted Nugent um but then those records came out you know death leopard and maiden and really changed my point of view you know like wow so you can take all these great sounds and neat things and kind of condense them and actually write a normal song you know over slightly sophisticated rock music you know nothing progressive I also love rush I always loved rush well Canadians so I mean this is our calling card it's right yeah right I mean wow what a what a hey a rush hey um but yeah they had a huge huge impact I mean I think you know in my garage bands you know all the way up through high school we always played rush especially 2112 stuff you know just just so into it and it was so heavy and Alex Lifeson you know not underrated but certainly under celebrated as a guitar hero exact way to say it yeah you know he's he's just such a guitar god to me like wow yeah talking about somebody can play reggae or any style of music yeah definitely one of them so and he's so snotty I love it I'm just going to jump back and forth in moments in history Alan it will do the same a lot of people know this and a lot of people don't know this you were in guns and rows right it wasn't guns and roses correct it was guns and roses it was guns and roses yes I mean how long were you in the band for like is it a month a year like how long was it a year so you know Axel was thinking for LA Guns we did a gig there was a big throwdown with our manager uh based on a big throwdown with another band we played with that night uh our manager fired Axel but we all lived together we sat on a couch we decided what we were going to do next and it was guns and roses that's all we did we just changed the name and we added Izzy to LA Guns that's the whole story were you rehearsing those sort of like the songs off the first album at the time or we were playing them in LA Guns you know a lot of those songs and Mr. Brownstone no no not Mr. Brownstone but uh don't cry anything goes think about you uh a bunch of them yeah okay so so you actually helped in the compositions or the arrangements of those songs back in the day I guess yeah some of them yeah because me and Izzy lived together so um by the time he was in uh well by the time we had guns and roses when he basically he joined LA Guns I guess that's an easier way to to show the transformation um Izzy had some of those songs they had played them in Hollywood Rose because earlier Izzy and Axel were in a band called Hollywood Rose yeah and um they had some of that stuff and when Flash was in Hollywood Rose they wrote Welcome to the Jungle um but for some reason when we got together as guns and roses we didn't play Welcome to the Jungle I don't know why I don't remember the thing about that but that was always a favorite song of mine that they had you know but I think we were going when I was in the band we were heavier than what people know as guns and roses now it wasn't as blues based a little bit more metal um so more straight ahead uh more LA Guns really but were there any songs that you said you know you lend your hand to it and you say you know I wrote that riff and that sort of still exists in the songs today well I mean I do that with everybody you know you know that's that's how it goes because me that's a piece of history you know you're with the band for a year it's only normal that the ideas are going around they're exchanging you're finessing the songs you know and you know of course yeah I mean you know they say write a word get a third you know that's kind of this old but real rock bands don't do that you know it's like whoever's in the band at the time when the record comes out you give everybody equal credit you know I'm gonna kind of learn that from Led Zeppelin right you know you look at those album covers and things like that you want things to be fair and you want things to be um what's the word uh condensed and look strong like a unit right yeah united so you know so like a lot of records don't have uh everybody that played on an album for example or uh people that made smaller contributions and and things like that you know because it's just it's a lot it's it's a lot of stuff that goes into making a record especially with appetite for destruction because like it's so easy for example was also written with Wes Arkein and nobody knows how much of the song he wrote is it just the lyrics is it just you know did he write the riff you know did he write this it's very non-specific all the time you know it just will say you know words and music by these guys you know kind of a thing and it lends to the great mystery that rock and roll is supposed to have like who did what and you know and that's what trivia buffs are all about you know they want to get they want to know and i do that with a lot of recording stuff like uh 50s and 60s stuff because you know particularly bands from the netherlands like for some reason in the late 60s their albums sound like they were made in the 90s they're like insane but how did you do that you know yeah and why does you know the seemingly kind of weird sounding production on Led Zeppelin records and Jimi Hendrix records you know compared to today's standards it's like how did we get from those recording standards to these recording standards you know like how what's the big shift so that's like a constant rabbit hole i go down as far as music production is like like damn yeah everything sounds great now you know i mean even if it's a terrible song you know everything sounds great and clear and separate and all these things where you know the engineers from the 60s and in England they were maxed out you know what i mean like they were really making loud records and getting great drum sounds and all these things but it's still quiet compared to today's standards like you know you put Van Halen one on when i was 12 it was the loudest thing you ever heard it's like man you know now you put it on like next to an altar bridge record and it's like man that's little yeah it's so bizarre it's so bizarre yeah yeah now uh no i mean i had to go ahead jim i had one oh yeah just going back to the new album of course i i do hear a lot of the punk punk influence on it and i would call this album like four to the floor i mean this is you know it's really uh really really hits hard on a few songs so yeah i i think a lot of that has to do with adam our drummer um he's getting more comfortable as the gears go on and really pushing things and his recording techniques change a little bit from album to album so there are some songs on this album the energy is just wow yeah this like whoa and you know johnny and ace really contribute mostly to that up tempo high energy stuff more than i do you know they bring in the song ideas and then i kind of arrange them into a song and then adam gets them and then i don't play on those till after we get the drums back and then i really go for it then but i don't come up with that much fast stuff anymore i'm glad you mentioned adam because i'm listening to the drums on wrong about you just blowing my mind that's yeah it's crazy drumming on that song yeah if this if this album came out in i don't know 1985 adam would be the hailed as the leading drummer you know he is amazing you know and and look i played with some guys i've really played with some guys adam hamilton is the world's best kept secret you know he is amazing and he records that you know it's not him just playing he's recording and getting that sound and and you know and that's without me really like i'll turn in a song like wrong about you to him without any direction i'll be like well here it is and then that's what i get back you know and i'm just like yeah oh my god you know playing it to my grandma like listen to this guy play drums you know i mean that's how good he is to me you know that's my opinion of him is just insane and he played on sunbomb and he's playing on the new sunbomb and he also played on i have an album coming out with todd kerns that band's called black bird angels that comes out of timbre and adam played on that way to hear that the drums are nuts he's a big stop you don't stop you don't stop creating music man once you open that can is just keeps coming out right the fizz well i didn't write anything for about four or five months now until i had to i got my notice in an email box you know uh it's time to get the new sunbomb record going like ah i'm not ready i don't have anything and i sat down one night you know and i was like man i don't know you know do i have this much metal in me right now you know that's really under the impression i get in and then i went to my girlfriend's and we were talking about it and she kind of played something and she's like well you know something like this you know so one of hers might end up on there and then that gate that kind of opened like a floodgate you know just having somebody give you an idea you know like like yeah and then i came here back home and i banged out seven songs in three hours you know it's just because when when the when the floodgate opens it opens you know and it's like part part part part it's like oh i have this part i have to put something around this okay this naturally flows into this this naturally flows into that and then that's all voice notes on the iphone right and then of course i didn't tune my guitar to any specific tuning so now i'm going back to demo those songs and i'm having to tune my guitar to the voice memos you know because it's not anywhere close to you know any traditional tuning when it's just sitting in the living room um so yeah now i'm just in that process you know and i think that all 11 tracks drums will be recorded finished within two weeks and then i'll start really pretty much finishing touches on it then michael gets it and he writes the lyrics wow it's a good process yeah it is tell me in the few minutes that we have left about the uh the randy roads documentary i watched it i enjoyed it you know um well you know you narrated it i mean it's it's a big job i mean and i'm sure it is a big compliment too to narrate something of that that legendary right so what was the feedback like i mean i know there was some sort of ron sobel he used the footage that he you know that was reused but it was still done in a good in a very proper manner and and and and honored the legacy of randy roads but what was your feedback from it um well the feedback that i've gotten from it is people are just grateful that it exists you know that they're like wow you know these quiet right ears and these things a lot of people didn't understand them or they didn't know about them at all um and how i got why i got involved was andre relis the direct the director um and uh see what love does i get a text from my girlfriend and i'm like she upstairs is she upstairs and you're downstairs we don't live together okay um my wife texts me she's upstairs yeah like get down here right now you left the ass tray next to the why are you yelling at your computer no i'm not doing a show yeah yeah yeah um so it was a a randy roads randy roads um okay so andre relis contacts me and i got really nervous because i'm really good friends with randy's brother and sister and we have and we have always said that we would never do anything to do with randy unless it made sense unless uh somebody else wasn't going to make money off it like it wasn't a cash grab kind of thing so i talked to andre about that i go so hey you know what is ozzy you know what is sharon osborne say what does uh uh kathy say you know oh they're all against it and i'm like i'm like i'm like well hey man you know those are my people and i really shouldn't do this without their approval getting this done and and he said well i understand your your thing but i'm doing it anyways there's no league nothing legally binding which says i can't do it and i had to think about it at that point because i knew that if i didn't do it they would just get anybody to do the narration and then it would be a big sore spot forever right so i agreed to do it after i saw the documentary and i read the script and like you said it's really complimentary it's really put in a positive light and it's very truthful you know it i think it spells out the truth as close as it could be and and i can proofread that because i played with rudy sarzo for a year i was on a tour bus basically with rudy sarzo for a year so and i'm obsessed with randy anyways now i'm in a band with rudy he's telling me everything so i get done i do it and it was a big job you know we did it in my studio um i was in denmark the night before flew 10 and a half hours got a couple minutes sleep and then we spent 10 hours doing that you know starting at 8 a.m i had a i had a speech coach the director his assistant and you know there's like four people behind me doing this for 10 hours and it turned out great and you know kathy hit me up and goes i can't believe you did this i didn't answer for a couple days you know because i really had to process the reason that i did it you know why is it a positive thing why is it a good thing why does it make sense now and i told her you know why i did it and and um and that i wanted to tell her after i had done it and explain those reasons but she found out before it was actually made public so ultimately she agreed with me you know she said well it is good that it's you and i wish you were to run it by me and i said well i didn't run it by you because you would have talked me out of it and then somebody else would have done it it was going to get done um so i think that at the end of the day which is now it's been out two years now um i think that that it was very successful number one but i think that we all feel good about it you know and and it leaves a lot of room for the ozzy years like if it ever gets done you know they don't have to go back here to this beginning kind of stages of randy you know because an ozzy documentary about randy would be a full 90 minutes on its own you know what i mean it's it's there's footage there you know a lot of people say there's no footage of randy there's a lot of footage of randy with ozzy um but they're very unseen unseen footage with absolutely of course there is of course you haven't seen it you haven't seen it you're just assuming no no no i no i'm not assuming but i haven't seen it i i i know it you know there there there's and the that type of footage is uh you know i've been collected over the years um a lot of its vhs um quality a lot of its bootleg um but the the ozzy camp you know they only use bits and pieces of it for like let's say they made the crazy train video which is like 20 years ago already but you know they they're they're protective over randy and they should be but i do think as with this documentary is that that fan base is getting older now and when this came out it was finally a biscuit you know what i mean it's like it's like oh man i love randy so much so my fear is that they never do anything with randy and the ozzy thing and that nobody gets to enjoy that you know what i mean and because i think randy rhodes fans are really passionate about randy and they deserve to have you know inside look of his life i mean look you know with hendrix there's an abundance of commercial footage and bootleg footage and still releasing songs to this day you know and and i love that being a hendrix fan you know what i mean like wow something i didn't see before something i didn't hear before and randy's no different you know randy is the only hired musician to come into a band and revitalize the main attractions career right that's how powerful it is on that note and i'm just going to end off with this i've been to musonia you know i've talked to kelly i've talked to kathy i've done a whole little thing on musonia and fans went nice and i went inside we spoke we looked at everything around there we we had a huge conversation and did a whole little mini rhodes documentary on it and the fans loved it they ate it all up and uh and rightfully so i mean absolutely such a legend yeah i mean and kathy and kel they're so sweet they're so nice they're such good people you know they're so they love their brother's legacy so much they love their brother and their their mom and you know nothing but positivity comes from those people you know and uh you know and that's why they're very protective i think yeah definitely on that note la guns black diamonds on frontiers coming out april 14th uh thank you so much uh tracy for being on the show we had i had like a ton of questions to ask you but time is limited when the other albums come out we'll have you back on to promote the other albums thank you very much guys tracy i love it again so many more questions i want to ask you so let's do this again please congratulations on the album
