Big thanks to this group for getting in on the action. Pick your team three. Fresh inner case from a master case. Thanks, everyone. No fillers either.  Nick T with the last spot mojo stars next to his name.  All right. We'll select a die and then we'll roll that die and we'll go one, two, three for the left side and four, five, six for the right side. And it's one, so it's gonna be left side right here. And this side we will save for next time. So there it is right there. Peachy Platinum, pick your team four. Which we can run that back tonight if you want to. How many teams are left in pick your team four? Your team three, about 15 teams left in pick your team four. So we can definitely get that done tonight. We've got plenty of time for it. All right, what are we looking for here? One horizontal autograph for box on average. And then the same thing in French. All right there. Dazzling base set parallels. We're looking for some Peachy Platinum retro cards, so on and so forth in an array of hard signed rookie cards. Oh, good luck. I'll test my hockey knowledge here. Spoiler alert, I don't have too much hockey knowledge but hey, the more of these I do, eventually I'll absorb some kind of information. For those of you who have teams in this, are there specific players you're looking for? Or just any kind of autograph, any low numbered hit? Hi Logan, you know what? I've not seen any of that. I'm not really, I don't watch too many television programs. I may have seen an episode or two. I did see Six Feet Under, isn't one of the characters from Six Feet Under in Dexter? I think Six Feet Under is only one season so it worked out for me. Walter is looking for Kirol, Kaprizov or something like that for the wild, right? And Walter, oh Walter has a Rangers too. Okay, I know that guy, Alexis LaFreniere. I think Kaprizov signed a big contract over the weekend, or over the weekend, over the off season. So he got paid. David's here looking for any Sid the Kids, Austin Matthews' is starting to try to wash, every year I say this, but it's true. Every year I try to watch a little more hockey, a little more hockey from year to year. And I haven't enjoyed the recent Kings winning streak. Maybe the trial may please the other night. So stuff like this, these are parallel, so those will ship, right? Those will ship, but I think these right here are the veteran bakes, the common, so those will not ship. And there's our first autograph that's Vitek Venecek for the Capitals. That's for Rick and the Caps. So hockey fans are gonna have to let me know if players like that are good or not. We got Marquis Rookies for the Devils, Yegor, Serana Govich, 302 out of 399, Violet Pixels. I like the, we'll have our sorting and shipping team take care of these just in the interest of time, but I like that they have the names of the parallels in the back that goes to Matt Buckler in New Jersey. Pond, that looks pond hockey, is that the parallel? Or is that what's going on there? That looks like a pretty cool card. Michael, what's going on? How are you? I'm doing well, just getting in on this hockey. There's Artemi Pannerin, Red Prism 139 to 199. That'll be for the ranger that's gonna go to Walter. There's a Taylor Hall, Matt Pink for the Sabres, not numbered, and there's our first, Alexi Lafreniere, Marquis Rookies. I suppose we wanna see, this is nice, but we definitely wanna see this particular card in its various low numbered parallel forms. Obviously inserts like that will ship. All right, there's our first box. Yeah, we got Josh who started on the store side of things and he's starting to do some more Instagram here. Yeah, we had to let someone go. But Josh knows his stuff. He's been involved in the hobby for a long time, so you can take care of all of your personal break needs on Instagram live. I have to ask these breaks, why did we drop someone? I'm not at liberty to really get into details on that because there are still things that are pending. No, Jason's still around. But let's just say, knowing what I know now, I would not hire that person ever again. There's Elias Pedersen and Joe Pavelski for Dallas. Yeah, Jason was just here earlier today, Logan. David with Dallas. There's Jacob Silverberg, 83 to 199. That's for Anaheim, that's for Walter. And we've got a Cal Foot Marquis Rookies, 36 out of 249 yellow tracks. That's pretty sharp. That's gonna go to the Lightning, Carl with Tampa Bay. I mean, more companies need to do that. They need to put the names of the parallel on the back there. We're looking for, there's Caprizoff, Matt Pink. So I suppose we're gonna have to try to find parallels of this guy, too. That's for Minnesota, that's gonna go to Walter. All right, next box. Is the yellow tracks one of the new parallels? That's what Fat Package is saying, nice. Looks pretty sharp, really pops. It's to go here. David, I'll save one of these Austin Matthews for you. I know vet commons don't ship, but snag that. That will ship, though, that's a parallel. There's a couple of Conor McDavid's for Edmonton. Still setting those aside. Did you see that goal from Conor McDavid, the other, was it over the weekend or something like that? Like he literally kind of worked his way through, it was almost like a video game, worked his way through like four or five defenders, scored it like a game tying goal or something like that. It was amazing. Here's a rookie autograph, Sasha Kamalvesky for San Jose. That was David Beat with the sharks. An incredible goal, right? I was, you know, even as a casual hockey fan, I also recognized just how difficult that feat was. Ooh, what is this? There's Gage Quinney, one of one golden treasures. That's for Vegas, that's gonna be for John. Nice, rookie, gold treasure. How do we feel about this player? Yeah, Phat Phat's saying decent, Walter's saying nice. I don't know anything about this player, so I hope he's good or ends up being really good. John with the golden Knights, out of fives and under, get the train whistle. All aboard the Big Hit Express. Woo-hoo. Now, get the thumbs up from Mark. Nice, yeah, one of ones are always nice. We've got a Connor Brown for Ottawa. Violet Pixels, 374 out of 399. It's gonna go to Rick in Ottawa. Ryan Getzlav, 94 out of 99. Arctic Freeze for Anaheim, that'll be for Walter. All right, next box. Someone hockey fans explained this to me. Why did the golden Knights trade away prospects and I think picks for Jack Eichel? I know Jack Eichel wanted out because of the way his injury was handled. But is Jack Eichel worth that risk for Vegas?  Is he very, Jack's very, very good, says Walter. Even after this surgery, which seemed like a serious surgery, like a neck or spine surgery? And he's saying prospects not proven and Jack is. And Mark's saying Eichel's solid. He just had no support from Buffalo. So the upside for Jack Eichel is that great where there's just like, hey, the upside is just that enough where we can take the risk of having a play somewhere down the line, given this successful surgery. I just thought that was interesting. I was like, I guess, because I was like, I guess he must be that good if the golden Knights were willing to move those prospects for someone who has like big medical question marks. All right, next box. All right, well, thanks for those answers. Let's see if we can get some more stuff here. We got a Philippe Myers, rookie auto for the Flyers. That's gonna be for Eric, red rainbow autograph. That's pretty sharp. We've got some gold coming up here. What do we got here? Josh Bailey for the Islanders, 29 out of 50 seismic gold. And that's for the Islanders. That's for David B. Oh, these are the one of the Mark B is pointing out. This is one of those retro cards. There's an Aquamarine 452 out of 499 and Matt Duchain for Nashville. That's gonna go to Brian. We have, are Quinn Hughes refractors like rainbows? Non rookie, still okay. Save a Sydney Crosby for David B. John Taveras, Aquamarine to 499. That is for David in Toronto. We got Jeff Skinner, Matt Pink for the Fat Package. Buffalo. I have not spotted any Sororicans yet. All right, we're halfway through this inner case. We've got about another 20 minutes to go here. Thanks for getting in second half in the store.  Let's see what's going on. What's going on in hockey tonight? Predators beat the stars 4-2 in Dallas.  And at the end of the first period, the Minnesota Wild are leading 2-1 over the Coyotes. It's a TNT game. What are some of the, I know we're only, we're not too many games in. I guess we're already a little over a dozen games in for some teams. What are some of the early surprises this NHL season? Are there teams like towards the top of the Sandings aren't supposed to be there? Any hot starts from some teams or are any disappointing starts for other teams? And we've got an Adam Fox, a Fox in the box. Rookie Otto for the Rangers. I believe that's Walter. Yes, Walter. 30 out of 99, Matt Pink parallel. Nice. Maybe we'll find his teammate in here somewhere. There's a Dylan Cousins. That's who Nathan was looking for. Maybe we'll find some parallels of him as well. You got an Ian Mitchell, Markey Rookie, Red Prism to 199. That's for Chicago. That'll be for Bryant, Bryant Z. I got a Caprizoff right here as well. Another one. We can find some parallels of him. Zovechkin. The last few years, these sunset parallels look pretty sharp too.  There's Alex Afalo. Violet Pixels, 53 out of 399. I feel like he's been playing some good hockey for the Kings, trying to watch the Kings a little bit more. I would, I guess my Kings. Freddie with the Kings. And some more gold. Nice. That's Dylan Coughlin. 193 out of 249, Yellow Tracks for Vegas. That's gonna be for John and Lindstrom right here. All right, three boxes to go. All right, next box. I guess just looking at the standings, I mean, looks like both Buffalo and Ottawa are on a five game losing streak. That's never good, right? I know the Kings are playing some hot hockey right now. They've won six in a row. The Ducks have also won five in a row. I think those are the two longest winning streaks in the NHL. The Kings are playing next. They're playing Ottawa next there. They're on a road trip. I was really surprised by that 5-1 victory over Toronto. I was very surprised by that. Yeah, and the Blackhawks, of course, having all sorts of, I guess, front office issues. Are there more bad news coming out of that franchise? Tough times for them.  Yeah, pretty sure they did last week. Your friend fraternity brother is Queenville's son. Not a good look yet. That's just a rough story all around. Oh, and there is a rookie auto. Do we like him? Speaking of the Blackhawks, Adam Boquist? That'll go to Chicago. That'll go to Bryan. Thomas Hurdle, Aquamarine to 499. That's for San Jose. That'll be for David. We've got a Sebastian Ajo for Carolina, David B. Violet Pixels, 195 to 399. All right, two boxes to go. Back in the trash can. All right, two boxes to go, ladies and gentlemen. Wow, I just checked the score again. It looks like a second period just started. In Minnesota, two quick goals, all of a sudden they're up 4-1. Looks like Kevin Fiala and Dmitri Kulikov with goals three and four, respectively. Has scoring in hockey been up in recent years? Or is just scoring in all sports just up, I guess, in recent years, but I just feel like in the last five to 10 years. Next couple boxes. Good luck, everybody. And we've got Lucas Carlson, another autograph for Chicago, another one for Bryan Z. There's a Conor McDavid Rainbow for Edmonton, be for Carl. And we've got a Niles Hoglander, 30 out of 199, Red Prism, Marquis Rookie for Vancouver. It's gonna go to Nick T. Sebastian Ajo, sunset. Shane Bowers, Aqua Marine to 499, that's for the Aves. It's gonna be for Jeremy. We got the best in the world, Conor McDavid. I mean, he is, isn't he? One of the best. This guy's pretty good, too. 350 out of 499, Leon Drizital. And I think Tave, Matt Pink. And final box coming up. More here, and then we're gonna drive into our last box, and then we'll see what else we can get into after this. Thanks, everybody, for making this break. We've got another one of these in the store. The second half of this master case that we popped open. And looks like we still have 15 teams left. Final box, good luck. Brad Marchand, sunset. Patrice Vergeron, Aqua Marine to 499. Boston, that's gonna be for David B. But a Kyle Conor for Winnipeg. Arctic Freeze, 83 out of 99. Nick with Winnipeg. All right, our final autograph should be in this stack somewhere. Oh, there it is right there, coming up. And it's gonna be for Ottawa. Rookie Autos, Rudolphs, Balceres. Rick with the Senators. Other fun parallels or big rookie names here? Alexi Lafreniere's, perhaps. Here's Conor McDavid. How about that? And Alexi Lafreniere. 110 out of 199. Red Prism, Conor McDavid for Edmonton. That's gonna go to Carl. Now I wish it was a parallel, but here's another marquee rookies, Alexi Lafreniere, for Walter and the New York Rangers. And I think that, my friends, is that. Thanks for watching. Thanks for breaking with us. That was eight box. Intercase Break, pick your team number three. Here's a quick look at some of the autos that we pulled out of here. And we'll see you for the next break. There's that one of one. We'll see you for the next break, and hopefully we'll pull some more awesome stuff for you. I'm Joe for jaskiescasebreaks.com. Thanks for watching. Thanks for breaking with us. And I'll see you next time for the next hockey break. Bye-bye.


Jimmy K here Metal Voice. Look at this. The Metal Voice shirts are now on sale. Just go to a video description to find out on how you can purchase one. Metal! Welcome to the Metal Voice and guess what Alan? Yes. It's been and shockingly it's been almost a year. Oh my god. A year since we spoke to Michael Sweet who's on the line with us. Michael? That's crazy because it feels to me because we speak so often. It feels to me like maybe it's been a few months not a year. Yeah. Well things have been crazy the last couple of months. That's true. Very true. Yeah. Life oddly enough in this pandemic with COVID you'd think that life would crawl at a snail's pace but it actually feels to me as though it's sped up. It's true. Yeah. I mean the year has gone. I don't know where the last six months went. I really don't. No. It's true. I can't believe we're Labor Day weekend. But saying that today September 4th the launch of the new Striper album Even the Devil Believes and we were lucky enough to have you with us here today to talk about it. Yeah. We're really excited. You guys know me. I get excited about every release and you know sometimes I get jabbed a little bit for being that way and people get on me and say oh man you say that about every album that it's your best but I really 100% believe and feel in my bones that this is our best album and there's so many reasons. It's not just because of the music or the production but because of the what we were working with the times we were recording it in you know and it's our first album with our new bass player. You know everybody knows Oz has some health issues and you know we were all able to overcome that and do another album. There's just so many reasons why I feel that it really is our best and then when I listen to it as a whole and the way it flows and everything I think it's got all the perfect qualities for what everyone expects. You know one person wants more 80s. They get it with invitation only. You know one person wants more heavy. They get it with you know blood from above. One person wants mid-temple. They get it with you and two others. They want a ballad. They get it with this I pray. I mean we kind of just put everything in there to please everyone and you never please everyone but I think with this album it's going to come the closest. Well I can add to that. I got one word for this album and it's a home run. It sounds current but it also keeps the classic sound like you said much more variation on this album than the preceding ones and that's a pleasant change. I agree with everything you just said. Which song was it or Mike? Which song was it that you've taken from the late 80s? Is there one reworking of a song there? There is. What it was, it was a song that I wrote in 1989 and we actually recorded it for the Against the Law album and I couldn't finish the lyrics to save my life. I was in a you know writer's block moment during that time and I just couldn't finish it. So we literally scratched the song and it didn't get included on Against the Law obviously. So I decided to pull it off the shelf and write the lyrics and make some changes and it's the song Invitation Only. Oh really? Okay. My money was on Forgotter Rocker Roll and let him in because it really has that LA strip feel. Kind of sounds like Keel, 80s Kiss, Anthemic. You know it's got that kind of guitar work that was very prevalent. So yeah totally and those are songs that could have you know fit right in on some of our records in the past, classic problems. But Invitation Only was the song and it's got a little bit more of a I don't want to say pop but a little more commercial sound to it. It's not really a metal track. You know it was really Panama feeling and sounding. It used to start with the da-da-da-da-da-da-da and the tom so it had a real Panama feel to it. We obviously changed the intro because we wanted to kind of steer away from that a little bit more but that's the one man. That's right out of 88. I would have guessed that one but it sounds like a sunset strip as Alan said to me the other day. A sunset strip vibe. Yeah totally and it's funny because you know there's going to be someone that comes it puts a comment online that says man you know I wish I listened to the whole album I just wish you guys would do something that has more of an 80s feel to it. Here you go. And I'll be able to say well you can't get any more 80s than that song. Yeah and heavily bass driven. Literally written in the 80s. That track is heavily bass driven and that's really prevalent to bass sound on that song so again Perry how did Perry influence a lot of the recording and the playing? Well you know Perry the songs were all kind of laid out as they always are and the guys came out here and I showed them the songs and we rehearsed them here at the house for a few weeks and then we recorded them and the way it works because I'm producing every album. I'm kind of sitting there with everyone as they're doing their part so when Rob's tracking his drums I'm sitting there you know hitting the talk back saying hey Rob do you know try this and you know maybe not so much of that right there and just watch your pushes and your pulls and do a choke right there you know I'm kind of guiding all of them through the process they're doing their own thing of course but I'm kind of guiding them through it so I did the same thing with Perry I just kind of sat there and guided him through the bass parts but Perry the thing about Perry that's really cool is all of his the way he plays bass and the way it feels is really right in the pocket and it's a very driving kind of solid foundation he doesn't do a lot of all over the neck and he's not always playing busy parts he's just playing solid parts and that's the thing I know it's right off the bat this record is really solid in the group yeah yeah I agree that's the one thing I picked up as well so so when I get into a few of the tracks and we can discuss a few of the tracks and our feelings and you can elaborate upon them sure man absolutely all right Jim I got blood from above there's the what we call it you know I mean that's what we call our Halford song that's where Michael gets that scream in there's one every album and for me that's the Halford the scream cut to offer this one and what a great track to start the album with and I kind of like the harmony screams at the end I like the harmony screams at the end that's my input oh good man yeah the uh we thought it was the perfect song to start the album with you know you got to really you got to come out swinging right and and we did and that's why we started with that song um we certainly could have started with Middlefinger Messiah as well but you know everyone just kind of felt that blood from above was stronger you know so we we went with that and then the end harmony scream that's where the song kind of takes a little bit of a twist in more of a modern direction you know for us anyway it's got the breakdown half time kind of groove and it gets chunkier and then it's got the harmony scream and some people have even said that they heard a little bit of um pantera in in the end breakdown I thought that's interesting but uh yeah man it really cool song we we wanted to come out swinging and that's why we chose that one okay here here here's my next one here make America great again wait a second no no make love great again and that's the big I'm sure you know that was done just to stir things up a little bit right Mike well I'll be honest with you not really and when I say that I think I let people down sometimes because I think they expect me to say yeah that's that's a pro trump song and it's really not uh it parry threw the title out uh make rock great again and I thought that's cool man I like that but you know rock is a little cliche and then my brother said hey man what about make god great again and I said you can't make god any greater than he already is so I said what about make love great again and everyone liked that and I think it's so relevant to our times right now because love we really need more love in this in this world man um and I don't know about how it's going in Canada but especially here in the US it's just crazy right now seems like the lines are drawn and there's no more communication yeah I agree yeah insane man so you know as corny as people might think it is it's true love is the answer and again another another track with a very very prevalent bass sound on there yeah mid tempo got a little heaven and hell vibe to it but you guys know we're we're big Sabbath and deal fans you know yeah let him in let him in that's for me that takes you right back to the LA strip that's one of those songs that uh takes you right back to that time and place so yeah that was written when I was one year old in 1964 that is crayons that's got in my opinion that that's a song that could have fit right in on soldiers and the command you know it's got that uh there's something about it that just kind of gives me a soldier's feel and it is a throwback it's got that classic striper sound to it and and the lyrics as well you know the message is the music um and it's definitely a really cool song we didn't go with that as a single because we just felt like blood from above was stronger and would make a bigger statement we felt that make love great again would make a really cool statement and now we just released today doing two others uh and man we're so happy with how that one turned out because it's it's got this uh almost like it's got a powerful uh riff kind of a deal vibe to it but yet it's almost kind of melancholy and sad when it gets to the chorus uh the melody and then if you watch the video it's just all about helping one another and you know treating other people as you would expect to be treated yeah one of my standouts on the album for sure do unto others great double leads they got that classic classic striper double leads in the in the soloing and uh great lyrics and uh it was kind of a bad company feel to kind of a country country ashamos feel to it so yeah it's kind of a little a little different feel for us for for sure uh and you know we just love trying different things and you know i love how the the verses are just heavy and and like i said it for some reason reminds me of deal a little bit and then when it gets to the chorus it kind of becomes almost angelic and goes somewhere totally different yeah yeah i got confused with this i pray so that's the one that i thought was a great standout too great change of pace too on the album like you said the flow of the album you're plugging away and then you hit the this i pray and say whoa what's this where this come from all of a sudden so yeah with this i pray i mean i think everyone expects striper to always do a ballad and for the most part we do uh on every album this song was a song that a friend of mine sent to me it was basically just the the verses okay so it didn't have the chorus so imagine the the verse being a chorus as well and that's how he sent it to me and he asked me to come and record and sing that song with him on his album and i said to a man i really like this song this could be a cool striper song what about striper recorded and he got real excited his name is livio graveni a local legend here in massachusetts and i took the song um and i wrote the chorus the melody and the chorus and then i added a couple verses and then i arranged it and took it a little bit more in almost the banjovi it's got a little skinnered thing to it but uh when it gets to the chorus is a little bit more uh blaze of glory banjovi kind of thing then you know we thought it'd be really cool and very different for striper to do a song like that it works it works it's really uh you know like you said i'm listening to the album and that one part of it oh wow this is a pleasant change of pace and like i said something that might have been missing a little bit on the previous albums that were really relentless and really powerful and like you said this is kind of expected from you so it was a great great track one of my faves on the album so yeah it's kind of like that that uh not that you're leaving while the song's playing but it's almost like intermission time like you know all right everybody gets up and goes and gets their popcorn and goes to pee while they're listening to that song you know and i mean that in a good way you know you know mike um so i know you saw that that review on blabbermouth uh it was by you know not blabbermouth but a writer you know a review yeah and i know you're pretty uh you know honest about how you responded to that i found it kind of shocking i'll be honest with you like it wasn't really a review about the album and just to give everybody some context okay i'll just read a part of it okay ultimately you can try to kid people that worshiping sky fairies is a shrewd pastime but it just isn't and as much as striper deserves applause for sticking to their guns it's almost impossible to listen to even the devil believes without wishing that satan would arrive and lighten things up a bit i mean the guy was and again you know i like blabbermouth don't get me wrong this is just a writer one review right sure he he kind of forgot about the music and he's completely concentrating on this sort of that right wingers and god and that's it and if you if you believe in that then you're then it means nothing to sound i mean what what's your response to this i think it's incredibly unfair and i think in 2020 uh it's it borders on being illegal it really does you know you see people out there on the streets fighting for their rights every day in new ways powerful ways you know and i'm not for rioting and vandalism at all everybody knows that but my point is people are out there really fighting for their rights and yet this guy takes a dump on us because of our beliefs yeah in 2020 and that's acceptable that's okay it's not okay and i read it and i just thought okay no no dude you're not going to wipe your boots on us you know you're obviously a hater of the band you're the last guy that should be reviewing a striper album yeah i mean dom dom Lawson you know maybe he's dom delouise's cousin or something i have no idea but you know i just read it and i just thought wow how unfair and how ridiculous uh you know they they rarely review our albums anyway on blabbermouth and when they finally do he gives us a four out of a ten you know and the reason why the reason why it upsets me is because uh not so much because of the low rating but more so because it's a blatant attack on our faith well the more i thought about it after i posted what i posted you know because i at first i was like frustrated and i guess somewhat angry i i guess you could say but then i thought about it and i thought how sad you know this guy hates us so much and you know what's even funny almost comical is his review only fuels the fire in a in a good way so i don't know if you noticed all the comments of all the people that were against his review i saw some of them yeah and i see that almost almost 300 of them i think probably the most comments they've ever gotten on any review that they've put up and all negative against his his words against us and and i'm just thinking this guy must to some degree live somewhat of a of a pathetic life because you know um he for him to just write a review just to be nasty to me that's just not that's not a good reviewer you know it's not i take i don't take anyone like that serious and i guess maybe i guess i'm being somewhat hypocritical because i commented on it and put it on my facebook page uh maybe i should not have commented on it and given him the time of day but regardless it doesn't matter it's not going to stop the army it's not going to stop the forces uh striper keeps doing what we do and have done so for almost 37 years dom Lawson isn't going to stop that it's kind of like when those guys peed and bro tried to burn your records after back in the 80s or 90s remember that remember that story it's all it does is make them look like fools you know it's you know i got i'm just gonna say my last comment on this i think people have this misconception that only right wingers are religious and that's that's so much further from the truth there are a lot of people there are a lot of left-leaning people a lot who are religious as well and there's right people who aren't religious and there's left that right or religious absolutely to say that only right it's funny because he talks about he briefly mentions satan in the in the article i forget in what context but obviously you look at his reviews he's into the real dark stuff and that's fine uh not a problem with that but uh at the same time we have a lot of satanist and atheists who are fans of the band i'm when i say a lot i mean a lot we meet we meet them worldwide and come face to face with them do interviews with them and huge fans who are satanist and atheist tautelatory tautelatory you know self-proclaimed atheists yeah i mean tauts and atheists and i mean we i've interviewed with you know leaders of the satanic church and they're like man i love soldiers it's my favorite album of all time and i'm like wow okay that's interesting but that's amazing it's all good yeah yeah that's a it just seems like i said before the lines are drawn there's black and white and as we know life is full of gray areas and that's maybe maybe we snubbed maybe we snubbed Dom in some autograph signing line or something i don't know that's it seems like there's something a little deeper uh to uh you know his yeah i feel like there needs to be some sort of closure between you and Dom there i think you need to get him online have a conversation honestly no no there doesn't need to be any closure i mean dom will figure out whatever his issues are and i'm good man but i i just i read it and i had to post it and say wow okay this is fair what do you guys think so there you go okay let's get back to the album here what about how to fly i mean it sounds like the Beatles meet queen on that one great great feel to it yeah that's a mid tempo song that really focuses on the the vocals you know the the background vocals specifically we are huge and well me i know we all are but i'm probably even more so a big Beatles fan and and a big queen fan in you know queen were Beatles fans as well and obviously and you know unique thing with those really interesting chord changes in vocal arrangements is really amazing ELO i love ELO so that's a song that really takes you down a different path as well and wanders away from the metal but it's still a rock and tune and that's one of my favorites is in terms of just how it's written and how it's arranged as a song you know put metal aside it's one of my favorites on the album and then being a huge Judas priest fan that you are i mean i can't you know divider could have been on angel of retribution and the middle finger messiah as well it's got that kind of pre-chorus that's reminiscent of sinner i mean you can just hear the i just heard the influence from Judas priest on those two songs yeah absolutely divider it's got a priest feel and that's one of my favorites on the album i love the energy of that song and i love the riff that you know it starts out down down down down down down down it's really different it's like okay what is this where's this going and then when it goes down down down down down down down down down you know the groovy part i just love how it feels it's i think it's going to be a staple in our set once we get out there and start playing again yeah like like many any what are your what are your plans any timelines or everybody's just waiting for their green light uh everyone's waiting for their green line i mean you know we want to be safe and do it the right way uh we had plans to do some shows this year as everybody knows they're postponed some of them canceled some of them postponed next year we've got plans to go to australia i think in april and you know do some shows throughout the year but you know you're reading stories about you know the possibility of no shows in 2021 you know big shows and now i'm wondering okay is that really gonna happen we'll we'll have to wait and see it's a waiting game but man i hope so uh i really hope so that we can get out there and do what we do because this is not just our love it's our livelihood you know i don't want to rain on anybody's parade but you know flu season is coming and coronavirus is a flu and historically historically speaking the flu in north america at least in the northern part portion of it comes between november to february and this year will not be any exception to what we get every year right yep yeah true very true and you know i think it's all about just everybody knows now the importance of uh going the extra mile to stay healthy you know disinfecting mask distancing all those things to really try to stay healthy and obviously even beyond that getting in shape you know it's true getting on a treadmill eating healthy doing some push-ups you know really keeping your body strong so if you do get sick you can fight it yeah yeah hopefully that's the plan yeah spending quality time with the family too yes yeah absolutely man and i know much quality time with the family that's what that's what i'm here to get out um just on a lot great go ahead sorry i'm just i just want to get back to the album jim because i mean it's officially launched today and the production job again michael great job the sound on this album is unbelievable the drum sounds again i have to admit i struggled with the drum sounds on the early striper albums but everything to take over the production helm i mean it's it's unbelievable the drum sound you're getting off of these albums now well man that means more to me probably than anything and uh the reason why is because you know i've been producing the albums for a while co-producing the old albums but really producing the new albums and when i hear people say you know the new production sucks or it's not as good as the past i just i shake my head and i think what what is going on here because what are you listening to i'm not sure when i listen when i compare like this album to soldiers in the command it's night and day in the production and i mean this album takes the win you know i was going to listen in my car and compare the two which i've done it's like oh my god there's just no comparison this is so much punchier and open and just fatter sounding and when i hear people say that i just i got to wonder like what's happening here i guess they're just clinging so tightly to the past you know that they don't want to let it go i mean you've done a great job i will every every album that comes out we say the same thing you you're able to sound current but without losing that classic striper sound and that that's a fine line that there's not many bands that can do that and you've done it consistently for the last you know four or five releases so it is it is a very fine line and i mean we did cross that line a couple times like obviously with the album reborn uh that was much more modern feeling and sounding and you know the production wasn't as great on that but in all honesty we didn't have the equipment and the budget and and what not to do that the right way but you know that was a solo album in all fairness that was originally a solo album that was being shopped as a solo album i had a deal in place and then it became a striper album we made a few changes and it became a striper album so we can't really compare that album with what you're referring to but i mean then you go to murder by pride and that was still a little bit more on the light side a little more modern and then once you get to no more hell to pay i think that's when we found our groove as striper again yeah so i know our time's coming up but just give us some insight on the stroke striper documentary i mean where what stage are you out on that oh man well you know it's been tricky because the original guy we were working with uh wasn't able to work with us any longer so we started looking for a different company to help us get it done and we only had just b-roll footage and stuff we hadn't gotten a lot of footage and then the pandemic kind of shut everything down so we haven't been working on the documentary for a while but the plans are at some point to get that done and make that the priority we don't want to compromise the quality of it at all because we really want it to be special you know not just telling the history of the band and showing live footage and talking to the band we want to really make it interesting and talk to fans and people whose lives have been changed because of the band you know from from just everyday folks to celebrities so we're gonna really take the time to do it right make it amazing and expect that to be coming i would say for sure within the next you know two three four years at the very latest we'll have a full blown documentary done that'll blow people's minds good yeah so it's not like you have anything else to do no we got i tell you what we what we did during the pandemic uh we decided to since we couldn't go out and play we flew the guys out here and we quarantined for a few weeks and we went into the studio where we record and we recorded for on demand people will be able to rent and or buy the live albums us playing like this new album in its entirety we played it from start to finish oh and it's killer so live in the studio live in the studio it sounds killer it's got like a live at daryl's house kind of feel we're all out in the studio together playing in the same room and it's live man it's killer it looks so good we had seven cameras and and i tell you man that's gonna come out probably within the next six weeks oh there you go and then we got we did to hell with the devil at the same time oh look at that from from start to finish the every song so again you're doing again just a recap you've done the whole new album or is it just a set that you did of like a striper set live we did the whole new album every single song wow and then you did the devil with the devil every single song and and then there's footage b-roll footage of us talking about the songs and hanging out at the studio and it's kind of it's going to be killer and so we did that to offer people the live experience of this new album that's a new reality a lot of bands are seeing the benefits of this get the get their faces back out into the public because we can't do the live touring anymore so totally and the difference with this is most bands are doing like the live stream so it's literally like on the fly live what we did with this is we we went in and set up for a whole day and when you listen to it it sounds like you're listening to a record wow so it's studio quality audio and video uh but it's live but man the quality is not compromised like some of these streams that you see it you just kind of I forget which one I watched it I don't know if it was it was one of the monsters of rock live streams I watched in it just wasn't the quality wasn't great you know maybe they were just ironing out the bugs I don't know this will be really high quality nice good all right on that note yeah on that note September 4th which is today I don't know when we're going to release this video but let's just pretend today September 4th and the new album even the devil believes quite controversial on that one even the devil believes in god in himself I don't know Alan well because you guys know why we titled it that because we believe in god everyone knows that and we also believe in the devil we believe that the devil was created by god he was Lucifer and in heaven at one point in time and tried to take over heaven and was kicked out of heaven and became satan so even the devil believes the devil knows what's up yeah and that's what that's what we're trying to say with that statement but but it also means even the devil believes so don't say you believe because that that means nothing your words mean nothing what means everything are your actions are you are you living a life that represents god that represents christ are you are you doing unto others as you would have them do unto you you know and and that's what we mean by even the devil believes but so what that doesn't mean anything yeah all right on that note everybody pick up the new album Michael always a pleasure it's been too long we got to do this much more often it's it's always great talking to you and all this best success with this album and the striper as a whole so well guys you you've always waved the striper flag and always been there you know when others haven't and i tell you man we we appreciate it so much more than you guys will probably ever know and thank you guys for always standing by us thanks Michael we will talk to you thank you Michael okay guys god bless man love you guys and stay safe out there i'll see you soon yeah thanks very much save the you


Hey, welcome friends once again into this session of factorization of algebraic expressions and Here is one question given to us and the question is simplify x plus y whole cube minus x minus y whole cube Minus 6 y x square minus y square. So what should come to our mind the moment we see this question? One is the you know very usual method of using the identity is Opening the brackets are combining the like terms and get the simplified Expression that's one thing. What do I mean?  This is one way of doing it Repeat the process for all the three terms this one this one and this one this one will be simply, you know Multiplication of the terms. That's it and then you club the like terms that is same power expressions together and then Find the simplified expression that is one way, but now that we have learned multiple other Identities it will be pertinent or let's say it will be very you know important to understand whether we can use those Identities as well and one is definitely there is the you know There are you can see two cubes are there and to you know two terms where x square y x y square kind of a setup is being Seen so can I write is like this? So this is x plus y Whole cube so whenever I see this one thing which comes in my mind is can I convert it into a Cube of a binomial expression or similar looking expressions, right? So and now let me open these brackets up. So or or what you can do is so what we can see here Here is that there is a cube term or cube term and there are certain terms which you know having multiple x and y together, right? so if I treat this as a cube and this as b cube and somehow get you know These terms 3 a square and 3 a b square term from this term Then I can reduce it to a cubic form. So how to go about it? So let's say if I treat a as x plus y and if I treat b as x minus y So in the given expression, I have I have got a cube and b cube very easily, right? No problem a cube is there b cube is there, but what about let's say, you know a square b plus a b square and 3 and 3 like that. So what about this? So if you see this term will be 3 a square if you want x plus y whole square times x minus y and this will be 3 x plus y and x minus y whole square Isn't it? This is what we have we have to get somehow So if you look at this expression, what is it? You can take three common x plus y common and x minus y common from it Both the terms have these three these this term common and with it within bracket what will be left out x plus y plus x minus y Am I right? Yes, and if the other way around that is if this was I had taken plus if I take minus then what will happen this will become this simply and And here I would have got minus Here I would have got minus so expression would be 3 x plus y x minus y and This term is nothing but 2 y see and then this becomes 6 y and x plus y and x minus y a minus b a plus b form x square minus y square and Surprisingly this matches my this expression here. Okay, so that's what I wanted to do So let's now solve it formally. I am writing it here so I can write this as x plus y whole cubed minus 3 So 6 y x square minus this thing 6 y x square minus y square can be written like This isn't it? This is same to 6 times y x square minus y square. So hence this is I can write 3 x plus y whole square x minus y then plus 3 x plus y and x minus y whole squared and minus x minus y whole cube Okay, so this 6 6 y x square minus y square Please remember can be written like that and since there was a minus sign So hence I had to change sign of so first it will be you know This minus and this will become plus because there was this minus sign over here I hope you got it if not then just you know just slow down the video pause the video look at the steps and Then again come back and resume it. Okay, so if this is satisfied then this looks like a This looks like a square B form This looks like a B square form and this looks like B cube form right So hence I can directly apply a cube a plus B or so this is minus so a minus B whole form whole cube so hence it will be x plus y and minus x minus y whole Cube and this expansion is given above Correct. So if you see what will this be so x and x will go so 2 y Cube so it becomes it becomes 8 y cube. So simplification is simply 8 y cube So, how does algebra is coming into picture? So Anyways, we are doing algebra, but then we use one particular methodology, which is algebraic identities. We used identities and we never Open the brackets up and try to simplify it. That was the learning. So hence the moment I saw two cubes and A term like this I started thinking that hey, it could be reduced into a Cube of a binomial form and then I don't need to do the Mechanical Multiplication part of it and hence I could simplify it to 8 y cube So if you open the brackets and solve it also, you will get the same thing 8 y cube


In reality, as a dumpster fire... Run! We started to believe it when we talked about paradise. We wanted to believe it. We needed something to believe it. Being alone in this hellscape left us only two choices. Look out!  Or join these guys. She just takes and takes and takes. And now they're holding captive who I love most. And I'm not gonna stop until I bring my brother home. That crazy bitch may be out for blood, but see, I don't turn in work half-assed. I'm a type A to the letter. I'll take their paradise and burn it all to the ground. That's Jeff. He's with me. Used electros to modify his behavior. AP Bio really came in handy.  But she and I, we have one thing in common. Cross us?
