Lamont & Tonelli talked to Mr. Skin for his weekly fun bags forecast, including Kathryn Hahn and Tania Khalill in the new HBO series “Mrs. Fletcher.” Plus, how Juliette Lewis has the greatest celebrity “Submergedburger” in her 2004 movie “Renegade.”
LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-NOV 11, 2019.. SIXTEEN YEARS AGO STP RELEASED THE ALBUM ‘THANK YOU.’ THE LP FEATURED MOST OF THE BAND’S SINGLES AND NOTABLE SONGS, ALTHOUGH ‘DEAD AND BLOATED’ AND ‘UNGLUED’ WERE LEFT OFF THE RECORD. THERE ARE TWO VERSIONS OF THIS COMPILATION, ONE THAT ONLY CONTAINS A MUSIC CD, AND ANOTHER THAT ALSO FEATURES A DVD WITH LIVE PERFORMANCES, BOOTLEGS, AND MUSIC VIDEOS SPANNING THE GROUP’S CAREER. BTW, THIS IS THE ONLY STP RECORD TO CARRY A PARENTAL ADVISORY LABEL. THIS GREATEST HITS ALBUM HAS SOLD OVER 500,000 COPIES. THIS IS CLASSIC STONE TEMPLE PILOTS
LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-NOV 11, 2019..ON THIS DATE IN 1972 , IN A STRANGE TWIST OF FATE, BERRY OAKLEY THE 24 YEAR OLD BASS PLAYER FOR THE ALLMAN BROTHERS WAS KILLED IN A MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT. THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED IN ALMOST THE IDENTICAL LOCATION AS THE CRASH THAT KILLED HIS BANDMATE DUANE ALLMAN A YEAR PRIOR. OAKLEY COLLIDED WITH A BUS WHILE DRIVING AROUND A SHARP TURN IN THE ROAD WHILE THE BUS WAS MAKING THE SAME TURN FROM THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER STRIKING THE FRONT, AND THEN THE BACK OF THE BUS, OAKLEY WAS THROWN FROM HIS BIKE AND STRUCK HIS HEAD. OAKLEY SAID HE WAS OKAY AFTER THE CRASH, DECLINED TREATMENT, AND CAUGHT A RIDE HOME. THREE HOURS LATER HE WAS RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL DELIRIOUS AND IN PAIN SUFFERING FROM CEREBRAL SWELLING CAUSED BY A FRACTURED SKULL. HE WAS 24 YEARS OF AGE WHEN HE DIED, THE SAME AGE AS DUANNE ALLMAN. HERE’S A FULL HOUR OF BERRY OAKLEY WITH THE ALLMAN BROTHERS FROM THE FILLMORE EAST
LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-NOV 11, 2019..IT WAS 11-11-11 AND THE FOUR ORIGINAL MEMBERS OF BLACK SABBATH ANNOUNCED THEY WERE REUNITING. THE REUNION WOULD INVOLVE RECORDING A BRAND NEW ALBUM AND THEY WOULD FOLLOW IT UP WITH A WORLD TOUR IN 2012. THE STUDIO ALBUM WAS THEIR ALBUM ‘13’ WHICH WAS THE FIRST STUDIO ALBUM FROM SABBATH TO FEATURE THEIR ORIGINAL LEAD SINGER OZZY OSBOURNE SINCE THE GROUP RELEASED 1978’S ‘NEVER SAY DIE’ AND THE FIRST STUDIO ALBUM TO FEATURE ORIGINAL BASSIST GEEZER BUTLER SINCE 1994’S ‘CROSS PURPOSES.’ THE 2012 REUNION TOUR GOT OFF TO A ROCKY START WITH GUITARIST TONY IOMMI ANNOUNCING HE DIAGNOSED WITH “EARLY STAGES OF LYMPHOMA” AND AS A RESULT THE BAND WAS ONLY ABLE TO PLAY 3 DATES IN 2012. HOWEVER, THE TOUR KICKED OFF IN EARNEST IN 2013 AND WRAPPED UP IN 2014.
HERE WAS THE OFFICIAL PRESS CONFERENCE ANNOUNCING THE REUNION
LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-NOV 10, 2019..ON THIS DATE IN 1981 MOTLEY CRUE RELEASED THEIR DEBUT ALBUM. THE RECORD WAS ON A REAL CRAPPY LABEL, DISTRIBUTION OF THE LP WAS BRUTAL AND ONLY 900 COPIES WERE SOLD. THE ALBUM WAS RE-RELEASED ON ANOTHER LABEL 9 MONTHS LATER AND EVENTUALLY ACHIEVED PLATINUM STATUS SELLING OVER A MILLION COPIES.
HERE’S THE CRUE FROM A CONCERT IN OAKLAND CIRCA 1987 (COMPLETE SHOW)
LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-NOV 10, 2019- ON THIS DATE IN 1986 SPRINGSTEEN RELEASED THE BOX SET “LIVE 1975-1985.” THE COMPILATION CONSISTED OF 40 TRACKS RECORDED AT VARIOUS CONCERTS BETWEEN 1975 AND 1985. WHEN IT WAS RELEASE IT WAS AVAILABLE AT AT BOX SET OF 5 VINYL RECORDS, 3 CASSETTES, OR 3 CDS. THERE WAS ALSO A RECORD CLUB ONLY OPTION OF 3 EIGHT TRACK TAPES ! THE BOX SET IS THE 4TH BIGGEST SELLING LIVE ALBUM OF ALL TIME, SELLING OVER 7.4 MILLION COPIES TO DATE.
HERE’S THE FIRST SINGLE FROM THE BOX SET
LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-NOV 9, 2019..FORTY NINE YEARS AGO DEREK AND THE DOMINOS RELEASED THE MONUMENTAL DOUBLE ALBUM ‘LAYLA AND OTHER ASSORTED LOVE SONGS.’ THIS ALBUM IS BEST KNOWN FOR ITS TITLE TRACK ‘LAYLA’ AND IS WHAT MANY CONSIDER THIS TO BE CLAPTON’S GREATEST MUSICAL ACHIEVEMENT. THE ACTUAL FORMATION OF DEREK AND THE DOMINOS AND THE MAKING OF THIS RECORD WAS A RESULT OF FATE FALLING IN LINE LIKE DOMINOS. CLAPTON WAS PART OF ANOTHER SUPERGROUP ‘BLIND FAITH’ AND THE GROUP ‘DELANEY BONNIE AND FRIENDS’ WERE THE WARM UP ACT ON ‘BF’S’ TOUR. CLAPTON WAS IMPRESSED WITH THE ANONYMITY BEING A PART OF A COLLABORATIVE GROUP LIKE ‘DB&F’ AS OPPOSED TO THE PRESSURE OF BEING IN ANOTHER “SUPER GROUP.” BLIND FAITH DISBANDED AND CLAPTON HOPPED ON BOARD TOURING WITH ‘DB & FRIENDS. ‘ AS THINGS UNRAVELED WITH DELANEY, BONNIE AND FRIENDS, CLAPTON GOT TOGETHER WITH FORMER MEMBERS OF THE GROUP FOR LONG JAM SESSIONS AND WRITING SESSIONS AT HIS HOME. THIS IMPROMPTU GROUP KIND OF MORPHED INTO ‘DEREK AND THE DOMINOS.’ AT THE SAME TIME, GEORGE HARRISON WAS LOOKING INTO PUTTING TOGETHER A BACKING BAND FOR HIS ‘ALL THINGS MUST PASS’ ALBUM. WITHOUT A DOUBT CLAPTON’S FASCINATION WITH GEORGE’S WIFE SECURED HIS PARTICIPATION IN THE PROJECT. WITH HIS BEST FRIEND CLAPTON AT THE HELM, HARRISON ENDED UP USING THIS GROUP FOR THE SESSIONS. THE WORK WITH HARRISON HELPED GROOM THE ‘D&D’ GROUP FOR PUTTING OUT AN ALBUM OF THEIR OWN. PLUS CLAPTON’S LONGINGS FOR PATTIE HARRISON INSPIRED MUCH OF THE MUSIC CREATED ON MUCH OF THE RECORD, MOST NOTABLY THE TITLE TRACK. ADD TO ALL OF THIS THE ADDITION OF DUANE ALLMAN TO THE SESSIONS AND YOU HAVE AN INSTANT MASTERPIECE. VH-1 HAS NAMED ‘LAYLA AND OTHER ASSORTED LOVE SONGS’ THE 89TH GREATEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME, AND IN 2000 THE RECORD WAS INDUCTED INTO THE GRAMMY HALL OF FAME. HERE’S CLAPTON PERFORMING THE ALBUM’S TITLE TRACK LIVE IN CONCERT (WITH JIMMY PAGE, JEFF BECK, AND CHARLIE WATTS IN THE BAND)
LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-NOV 9, 2018..HERE’S ONE OF THE MANY REASONS I LOVE THIS BAND. LAST YEAR AT AT&T PARK IN SAN FRANCISCO, METALLICA ORGANIZED “BAND TOGETHER BAY AREA” A RELIEF CONCERT FOR THE FIRE VICTIMS IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. THE CONCERT FEATURED DEAD & COMPANY, DAVE MATTHEWS & TIM REYNOLDS, G-EAZY, RANCID, RAPHAEL SAADIQ, AND OF COURSE METALLICA HEADLINING THE BILL. THE CONCERT BENEFITTED THE “TIPPING POINT EMERGENCY RELIEF FUND FOR NORTH BAY FIRE RELIEF.” THE FIVE HOUR CONCERT RECOGNIZED FIRST RESPONDERS AND LOCAL HEROES, AND PAID TRIBUTE TO THE MORE THAN 40 VICTIMS WHO LOST THEIR LIVES IN THE FIRESTORM. THE BENEFIT WAS SOLD OUT WITHIN MINUTES WITH 100% OF THE MONEY RAISED GOING TO CHARITY. METALLICA MADE SURE THE BEST SEATS IN THE HOUSE WERE DONATED TO FIRST RESPONDERS. THE CONCERT RAISED OVER 17 MILLION DOLLARS. THIS IS VIDEO FROM METALLICA’S SET

Here is Lamont and Tonelli’s latest video for “Chicken Sandwich Attack-A.”
Ozzy Osbourne has released his first new single in almost ten years. It’s called “Under the Graveyard.”
Recently the Prince of Darkness had guest appeared on the Post Malone single “Take What You Want” and later teased he would release his next solo LP Ordinary Man in early 2020. His last album was in 2010 called “Scream”
Ozzy intends still to make good on his postponed concerts following some health issues including BONE Bash at the Shoreline Amphitheater on July 25, 2020.
