50 years ago today, at around 1 in the morning, a small charter plane carrying Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper crashed in a field in Iowa.
All three were killed, along with the pilot.
It became, in Don McLean's song, American Pie, the day the music died.

We've also seen duplicators!
But now, it's time for the originators!
Alright!
Los Angeles and the rest of the world.
It's a celebration tonight.
We're broadcasting live from downtown gentrified Los Angeles.
I gotta tell you, for this being fun, it's a lot of fucking stress.
I came in here in a good mood, I got fucking agitated as fuck.
Okay, let me tell you why we're celebrating, but before I start, let me introduce my special co-host.
Tonight, Big Evo Emilio.
How you doing there, my friend?
Not bad, brother.
What's going on?
Alright, well, let's get in a good mood here.
Why are we celebrating tonight?
You know why?
Death.
Oh, well, yeah, that too.
Venom is coming to town.
Venom, Inc.
Well, we started off there.
Why don't you tell us what we've just played?
Well, first, we started off the block with a song called Death of Rock and Roll from Venom, from the Very Depths album.
Then we heard Black Metal Live.
Black Metal Live from Venom, Inc.
Then we got into some Angel Dust from Venom's Welcome to Hell album.
Now, I don't know about you, but all I've been hearing the last couple of days is Venom, Inc.
is not Venom.
That's ridiculous.
Now, let me just tell you something.
There's a lot of Cronus fucking ass kissers over there.
Oh, it doesn't have Cronus.
Fuck Cronus.
For those of you that are true Venom fans, Mantis is Venom.
He is the one who wrote everything.
So, tomorrow night at the Glassmower.
South and Pomona.
Venom, Inc.
is playing.
That's enough of that.
Another reason why I'm celebrating.
Hey, Chester, why don't you play that dreaded fucking Glenn Frey song that I hate?
Play that fucking tune.
You hear this song right here, Emilio?
I hear it.
Okay, I don't know about you, but in 19, I think, what, 85, 86?
Right.
I was traumatized by this fucking tune.
Do you remember this song?
Fuck yeah.
I fucking...
What the fuck?
Let me tell you something.
Glenn Frey died a couple of days ago, and I don't know about you or my guests, but I'm happy that fucking Glenn Frey is fucking dead.
Fuck Glenn Frey.
I am sick and tired of that fucking dude.
And I'm sick and tired of the fucking Eagles.
So, Glenn Frey dying, you know what that means?
Celebration.
Celebration.
No more fucking Eagles.
Yeah, the Eagles was a complete downer.
That band was...
It put me to fucking sleep.
Let me tell you, Chester, play that Eagles song that drives me fucking nuts.
Listen to this.
I've been...
I've been force-fed this fucking Eagles song.
Remember this one?
Oh.
Hell.
Okay, I don't know about you, but I've been force-fed this fucking song since the 70s.
All right, I can't take no more.
Turn that shit down.
I can't take no more.
Okay, Glenn Frey dying means that I won't have to deal with this shit no more.
No, it's over.
What about you?
My special guest...
Dale from Bedwood.
Dale, are you a...
I mean, you don't have to come up right now, but are you an Eagles guy?
Are you a...
No.
Good.
See, even my guest says, fuck the Eagles.
Let me...
Are you traumatized by this next song?
Chester, play this next Eagles song.
This is the one that really drives me fucking nuts.
Which one?
I'm dying to hear this shit.
Well, Chester, play the next Eagles song.
Look at this one.
Oh, fuck.
This.
This fucking song.
Drive my car off a fucking cliff.
Let me drink a beer.
Yeah.
And did you guys...
Did a bunch of stoners in Venice in the 70s crank this shit too?
Oh, yeah.
Ugh.
Right?
Ugh.
Let me just paraphrase.
By Glenn Frey dying, that means that I don't have to deal with this.
And I'm going to tell you right now, I'm...
2006 has started off on a great fucking note.
Well, no.
Strike that, because last week I was crying about David Bowie and Lemmy.
But Glenn Frey dying has made my fucking day.
So, I'm just going to...
Chester, please turn that off.
You're killing me.
I'm going to fucking strangle myself here.
I'm hoping that Don Henley is next.
I really am.
If fucking Don Henley goes...
Dude, there is no...
Your prayers have been answered.
Yeah, right?
And so, what is the song when you have happy things happen?
Chester, play that happy song for me.
Play that happy song.
So, Glenn Frey dies, and then that metal show is canceled.
Yeah!
Oh, yeah, that's...
Happy days, my friend.
So, Los Angeles and the rest of the world, let me just start off by telling you, no more Eagles and no more that metal show.
Yeah, no more Eddie Trunk.
I'm fucking happy.
I'm happy as fuck.
All right.
That's enough of that, Chester.
All right.
Dude, hey, Dale, we're going to introduce you in a minute, but seriously, in the 70s, when you were growing up in Venice, how many times did you have to have that Eagle shit?
It was constant.
Oh, dude, it never ended.
It never...
I mean, listen, don't get me wrong.
There was a period in my young life where I appreciate, you know, some Eagle albums, and, you know, once in a while when I would blaze, you know, a little more time.
But, dude, the last 35 years, it's just driving me fucking nuts, and these dudes have become, like, the biggest corporate thing ever.
Fuck them.
I'm glad they're dead.
I'm done with the Eagles.
Let me tell you what I was very sad to hear, though.
Stuart Rose, who was not only my Facebook friend, but he was the drummer of Pentagram, passed away.
That was a bummer for me.
I had a really high note with, you know, that metal show being canceled, and then, you know, Glenn Frey dying, and hopefully fucking Don Helio croak over, too.
But Stuart Rose passed away.
He played drums on the Day of Reckoning record.
He was a really great guy.
He had a great sense of humor, so I extend my condolences to his family, and I'm really proud of him.
I'm really proud of him.
I'm really proud of him.
I'm really proud of him.
I'm really gonna miss him.
With that, let me tell you, we got a great show tonight.
As you can hear in the background here, let me just tell you something about this guy.
There are people in Los Angeles that just are full of shit.
There are people in Los Angeles that are just not credible and not real.
Not my guest.
Dale Henderson of Beowulf.
And let me tell you what we have in common with him, Big Evil.
What?
Back in 1985, 86, when we were taking the fucking RTD, not the MTA, the RTD to the Balboa Theater on Vermont.
God knows why we were doing that.
The rough, tough, and dangerous.
Why was I doing that, Dale?
I mean, you didn't even get that money.
Why was I fucking taking the fucking bus at the height of the Crip Blood War?
Why was I right next to you?
Yeah, you know what?
I had some really great memories, but I'm also traumatized about experiencing the real colors experience.
Why did people got jumped and jumped after the show?
We're getting to get to that.
Let me tell you why my guest is the real deal.
Not only has this guy been living the life for over 30 years, Dale Henderson of Beowulf is the epitome of what is true and what is real.
I had the pleasure of meeting him a couple of months ago for my 5150 interview series.
He was a pleasure to talk with.
Let me tell you something.
Let me be honest with you.
75% of the musicians that I talk to are fucking full of shit.
They're arrogant motherfuckers.
They think they're fucking, they got people kissing their ass constantly.
Even the broke ones, even the ones that ain't making any money.
They're narcissistic fuckers.
You know, when the cameras aren't on or when no one's shooting pictures, they're worried about their appearance and how they look and this and that.
Not Dale Henderson.
Straight talk, real talk.
And let me tell you something.
What's going on in Venice is what's going on in my neighborhood in El Sereno and all over Los Angeles.
Gentrification.
And we're going to talk a lot about a lot of things.
So we're going to start off the show again.
Stuart Rose, rest in peace.
Chester, hit it.
Let's do it.
Watching, waiting, timing and discomfort closely.
Hating, killing, be sick of those who are willing to take sorrow.
Eye for an eye and that's the law of tomorrow.
Distant.
Hero.
One time clear as your face is in the mirror.
Getting clearer.
Hero.
Hero.
Hero.
Hero.
Hero.
Hero.
Hero.
Hero.
Hero.

The skies have fallen like rain.
In order to survive.
Do anything to save yourself.
Just get your eyes on the last rose.
You'll be dropped in order to survive.
In order to survive.

Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Okay, look at this.
I saw a sale that said 24 pack for $11.99.
What was it? $11.99?
Yeah, we couldn't fucking pass that shit up.
To me, I got midget beer, so I'm sorry.
That's all right.
It's still free beer.
Hey, man, it's Budweiser.
That's all that matters.
All right.
Dale Henderson.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
First of all, thank you for being here.
Second of all, let's all take a time capsule back.
Let's do it.
I'm ready.
Okay.
If I recall correctly, 1985 is when you started playing very consistently with Beowulf.
Am I correct on that?
This is correct.
One of the things that I remember very pivotally about Beowulf at that time is that you were very misunderstood.
Let me explain.
Sure.
At that time, 1985, it was the thrash explosion.
Yes, it was.
Along came this band from Venice, and this is the sad part, is that all these great bands from Venice were being overshot.
Yes.
All these great bands were being overshadowed by the Suicidal Tendencies Club.
But this great band from Venice called Beowulf came along, and it had two super long hair granulos.
You guys had some ...
I mean, you still got amazing hair.
I still got it, dawg.
You got great hair, too.
It's still there, homie.
It's still there.
But the ferocity of the band live was amazing.
If I remember correctly, I saw you at the ...
Was it the Balboa Theater?
Yes, it was.
Was it the day that I got pistol whipped?
Yeah, baby.
The point is- I think it was that day.
I think it was that day.
I think it was that day.
I think it was that day.
I think it was that day.
The point is, is that I recall very vividly in the underground that Beowulf was known as the Motorhead of Venice.
What I remember till this day is how ferocious you were on stage, and what a great fucking show it was, and how you played from the heart.
Amen.
That's how you do it, man.
And here we are almost 30 years later.
Amen.
How are you doing it still now?
How are you able to do it?
It comes to a point where it's all you really know how to do.
You love it.
It never goes away.
Now, this is what I like about you, because you and I have a lot in common.
We just barely met.
I don't know why, but we both encompass the sincerity and the realness of where we're from.
You're from Venice.
I am from- East Los. ...
El Cerro, East Los.
And we're experiencing right now the real world effects of greed.
Yeah, it's crazy, dawg.
It's crazy.
It's fucking nuts.
Being that we're older, but yet we're still rebellious, how is that affecting you, your mentality and your writing?
Well, the writing- There's a lot to say now, man.
Oh, man, there's so much, and I got some good stuff coming up.
We're going to do like three new Beowulf tracks, and they do reflect what's going on.
It's funny you said that- Oh, they have to. ...
because that's one of the topics of one of the songs, is all this freaking hipsters moving in and fucking invading.
And- Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Nothing we can do about it, man, but deal with it.
who really paved the way.
There's a lot of bands, and if you want, I can mention them, I don't know, for legality reasons, but there's a lot of bands that have been influenced by what you've done.
Okay?
And, dude, they're in Malibu.
They're in fucking West Hollywood.
Yeah.
On the nice pads.
Uh-huh.
The good ones.
You know, I got motherfuckers ripping me off.
They got that good insurance.
They got that good insurance.
Oh.
Why do you feel that that sort of success has not come your way?
Uh, I don't know.
Maybe because I don't give a crap if I get success, as long as I'm enjoying what I'm doing and writing what I've...
I got to get it.
I got to write what I write.
Otherwise, it sits inside you and you fucking blow up.
Let me retract that.
You have underground appreciation and respect.
Mm-hmm.
But what I'm talking about is the financial.
I mean, come on.
Listen.
We didn't see the fucking sand.
I'm 45, dude.
I wouldn't mind a nice check coming in.
I would like one.
Absolutely.
I'm tired of picking these up after...
Little mini buns.
I'm picking up half-smoked cigarettes on the ground.
Hey!
Score!
You're the only one.
No, I'm not.
You're not the only one, hoes.
Hey.
I told you I have a lot of...
Times are tough, but hey, we get through it.
We're survivors.
When you originally formed Beowulf, what was the basis of that band?
What was the nucleus of that band?
What was it that you were trying to achieve at that time?
We were fucking just going out, kicking ass, dude.
We were just fucking full force or no force.
That was our fucking...
All right.
Our energy right there.
All of us, man.
We'd get out of school.
We'd freaking...
All of us.
Stop buying the liquor store and get our $1 quart of Old English, which got warm by the time we got home.
You see?
Ah, man, baby.
We rocking it.
Go to Paul's house, we'd just jam.
We got Beowulf and we just kept going, dude.
Did you ever think that this music would become so global and so successful and that all this money and all these lawyers and what it is now?
Would you...
Did you think of that?
Can you imagine that?
I don't want no part of it, man.
Yeah, right?
To me, it's just like, fuck you and your greed.
I'm just going to play what I play.
If it happens, it happens.
Don't, don't.
I'm happy.
Yeah.
I enjoy doing what...
How is it that you keep this...
How is it that you achieve this humbleness?
And by all means, I want to be very honest with you and I don't want to offend you.
And let me give you...
Let me be even more open with you because...
Shoot it at me, brother.
I'm an angry motherfucker.
Yeah.
I'm 45 years old and I'm still bitter about all that pussy I missed in the 80s.
Oh, man.
I'm pissed off that...
Jimmy missed it.
I'm an angry motherfucker.
I hear you.
I hear you.
How is it that you are very grounded, you have this very glow of happiness around you, you're very humble, and yet you seem very complete?
I mean, how do you achieve that?
I'm a good actor, huh?
Yeah.
Fucking awesome.
Is that what it is?
Are you kicking the cats like I am?
Oh, man.
You know, everyone's...
Everyone's...
Everyone's angry.
Everyone's upset about what the fuck's going on in the world, man.
And it bothers some of you, man.
We should be upset.
It's gotten worse, dude.
We should be upset and we should be angry.
But, uh...
I got the Lord.
Jesus helps me, man.
Really?
Amen.
Are you faith-grounded?
Yes, sir.
I have been for 25 years.
Oh, wow, man.
I didn't know that.
And does that help you balance everything out and especially center yourself?
If I didn't have him, I'd probably be underground or in prison.
Wow.
Let's see.
All right, man.
Right on.
Appreciate you.
All right, man.
I retract all those satanic comments I've made about three hours ago.
That's all right, man.
You do what you gotta do.
One of the things that I've always respected about you, Dale, before I got to meet you and what I've observed for the last, fuck, almost 30 years, that blows my mind.
Wow.
First of all, let me ask you, what kind of moisturizer do you use?
Because you look fucking amazing, too.
By the way, I'm heterosexual.
The Aviderm wheat is a type of caramel fucking walnut spread to Mark's Wonders at night.
One of the things that I've always admired about you the last 30 years is that, obviously, there was a band from your area that came out globally and made millions.
Suicidal.
One of the things that I've always admired is the fact that you have always stood on your own, even back then when that cloud was over.
Oh, you went, I can tell you exactly what happened.
I know you can.
My question to you is now that you've resurrected, the band, and you've been going strong, what are your goals now?
Our goals is to get out and start playing, man.
We need, we're trying to get some tours going.
Trying to get to South America, Japan.
Oh, they'll love you down there.
We've been to Japan with Biohazard, so we got a nice...
Did you guys tour globally back then?
Yeah, I've been around the world like four times.
Oh, nice, man.
Yeah, on the Two Cents record, we did a lot of touring.
Well, no wonder you're a happy fucker, man.
You got to fucking travel the world for free like that.
Yeah, we did, huh?
We did.
It's nice going to Japan, though, man.
You're like Led Zeppelin and shit.
I'm like, yeah, I'm going to Japan.
I got to do shit.
One of the things that I want to express is that there's so many bands of that era that really were ahead of their time in that criminally, criminally, they do not get documented in the history books.
Criminally, they never had the global success as other bands, and one of the things that is even more tragic is that even now with this internet age where these kids can just type and type, there's still a lot of bands that are not getting recognized.
I am glad that Beowulf is not only back stronger than ever running on all cylinders, but now kids can go back and revisit your history and they can see like, oh, fuck, these guys played with Exodus and CLC, you know what I mean?
That's got to be rewarding right there.
That's another reason we're doing it.
Because you were playing with heavy hitters.
Yes, sir.
But I got to tell you, now that I'm older and I'm an adult, when I get home, I'm going to yell at my parents because I don't know why I took the bus to go see you in South Central at the Hydrogen Cradle.
Imagine all the shit we were able to do.
That's a bad fucking thing.
All right, we're going to play, let's go take a tight capsule back.
Let's play some classic.
Okay.
Very classic Beowulf tunes and we'll be back talking to Dale Anderson of Beowulf.
Chester, take it away.
Chester, take it away.
Chester, take it away.
Chester, take it away.
Chester, take it away.
Chester, take it away.
Give him the other one.

All right.
We were having a great conversation.
Heck yeah, dude.
We're going to revisit it real quick.
Big E, what did we hear there?
We heard three tracks.
The Mighty Bay Wolf's Lost My Head album.
First we heard Done Got Caught.
Lost My Head and Muy Bonita.
Then we heard Jesus Freak off the album of the same name.
Yes.
Title track, baby.
We were talking about gentrification and what we're dealing with in our neighborhood.
We'll get back to the original purpose, but I got to talk about this on the air.
Let's do it, homie.
Check this out, man.
Just like in your neighborhood, my neighborhood too.
I mean, this whole influx of gentrification.
People are coming in.
It's a sweep, dude.
But they don't realize.
Tsunami and shit.
They don't realize the cultura and the history of these neighborhoods.
No, they don't.
They really don't.
I mean, listen.
You want to move into the neighborhood, that's cool.
But respect the culture.
Respect the way it is.
I saw a guy in a market one time.
Did he have a man bun?
No.
If he would have had a man bun, I would have let him get stuck.
That drives me nuts too.
But check it out.
There was a homeboy in front of him who just got out of the pen.
You could tell by the way he was holding himself.
You could definitely tell by the tacos.
You know what I mean?
He's announcing who he is and who he's affiliated with.
Hey, man.
And this fucking guy has the balls to touch him and say, where did you get your meat?
Oh, you're kidding me.
And I'm behind him.
Dude, the guy was about to kill him.
Oh, my goodness.
And I had to step in and say, and mind you, I'm not this great fucking guy that meddles in people's business.
I think he's going to get rocked.
There's no ass on your shirt.
I saw that as a fucking massive sacrilegious fucking violation.
They don't know, dude.
I'm like, dude, you don't touch these type of people.
You don't touch anybody.
No, dude, I just want to know about his ink.
Dude, that ink from Folsom.
My skinny pants are itching me.
Skinny pants and man buns.
In your neighborhood, you're obviously, you're obviously, hey, Chester, you want to lower that, please?
Hey, in your neighborhood, you're obviously, you're obviously recognized.
Not only from the culture of Venice, but you've been there all your life, correct?
Yes, sir.
Born and raised, baby.
How are you dealing with this invasion and this whole new generation of influx of higher income people moving into our neighborhoods?
I'm not digging it, man.
I'm not digging it at all.
But, you know, it's here.
They're coming and they're here.
How have you maintained to exist in that neighborhood?
Now, let me be honest with you, and I know that's a very personal question.
I don't know.
I've been able to maintain my existence in my barrio because the house that my parents bought, I took it over.
I'm not going anywhere.
So, I'm in the same...
I'm not going anywhere.
I'm in the same position you are.
You know, look here, Tiff.
If you want to walk your dog, make sure you pick up that shit from my fucking house.
That's right, baby.
Pick it up.
Look here, Bradley.
Bradley, pick up that mierda.
You know what I mean?
Pick up the cock, baby.
Do people know...
Do you get recognized in your neighborhood for who you are?
I mean, yes, I do.
But, I do, yeah.
Truthfully, I do.
But, I mean, who else freaking has red hair down to their butt, you know?
Like, the cops go...
One time, the cops were like...
They pulled me over, right?
They used to fuck with me all the time.
I'd just go to the store and get some cigarettes.
I'd be out peddling.
I'm like, whoop!
I'm all fucking hanged.
And the first three questions, I always get...
I always say, no, I ain't been arrested.
No, I'm not on parole.
No, I ain't on probation.
That's all I say.
Fucking knows the script.
I know.
I say, oh, well, you never been arrested?
Come on up.
I say, well, my partner has.
I'm like, well, good thing he became a cop, huh?
Yeah!
Yeah, depending on him.
He'll keep you out of the pens and become a cop.
Become a fucking crook with a badge.
How do you feel about the...
Ouch.
How do you feel about the Beowulf legacy and where it is now?
Are you happy?
Are you happy?
Are you happy?
Are you happy?
Are you happy with the legacy that you have?
Oh, heck yeah.
I have no regrets whatsoever.
And we made some nice achievements, I think, in life.
I mean, I got some cool achievements.
I don't need that fucking star status of people.
They think it's some great place to be, but it's not.
Yeah.
One of the things that I've respected you about...
I mean, the money's cool, but fuck.
Well, listen, I'm not gonna lie.
Money's always cool.
You give me some...
You know these millionaires that cry and they say, oh, money doesn't buy happiness.
Give me that shit.
I'll be happy as a puppy.
I'll be happy as a puppy.
I'll be happy as a puppy.
I don't even have enough money to hop on a bus, man.
I'll still be shopping at Pick and Save.
I can't even make a fucking phone call at a payphone booth.
That's how bad it is.
You know what I'm saying?
Let me ask you this.
But you overcome it, man.
You deal with it.
For me, one of the things that I respected about you the most is when I first spoke with you in a quote that you told me.
We were talking about an individual of a band from your area.
I don't know if you...
Yes.
And you mentioned the fact that...
Suicidal.
There you go.
There you go.
I said it.
If you open the door, it's all good.
I said it, motherfucker.
By the way, all comments expressed by Doug Henderson.
That's okay, man.
I stand on my own.
One of the things that's interesting is that you told me on the record, you said, I don't step over a dollar to crush a homeboy.
Exactly.
I really respected you for saying that.
In other words, let me translate this to the people that don't understand integrity.
What you're saying is that you don't fuck over your friends for money.
In other words, you stay loyal and true.
Amen.
You should.
I mean, I do.
How do you feel when you see a Suicidal Tendencies video now?
Does it drive you nuts?
I can't stand it.
I'm sorry.
They're a corporation.
It's not a band, dude.
Dude, they're millionaires.
Well, he's a millionaire.
Well, I'll say this about Mike Muir.
Yes, I said Mike Muir.
He's a brilliant businessman.
He is.
He's brilliant.
Since day one.
Yeah, he's brilliant.
But on the other hand, you fucked a lot of people to get where he's at.
Well, that's how millionaires do it, then.
And he's representing something that he's not of.
And this is what I wanted to ask you.
Back in the early 80s.
Let's shoot it, baby.
That scene.
Ask me that question.
When I think about 1985 and I think about that Venice scene, it reminds me of like the early 60s of the British invasion.
Oh, shit.
All these different, diverse, great, eclectic bands.
No Mercy.
Low Cycles.
No.
Beowulf, Excel.
And they were all coming from Venice.
Do you feel that the suicidal tendencies success and the greed destroyed that legacy?
Because for those that weren't alive or weren't there.
I got the story, dog.
Dude, for those that weren't alive or weren't there.
It's easy to read something on the internet, but I saw it.
You witnessed it.
Yeah, yeah.
It seemed that you were all very tight.
You were all very united.
And it was like a one for all.
All kinds of things.
As one.
Is that how it was?
Okay, here we go.
Put Vass in your fucking safety belts, baby.
Someone give Dale another truth serum.
Can, please?
No way.
Really can.
I always tell you, I haven't got nothing to hide, man.
Tell me, man.
I didn't do shit.
Do you feel?
Here's what happened.
You're absolutely correct.
We were a fucking tight clique, man.
We fucking hung out together, partied together, played together.
If no Mercy was playing, we went to their shows.
If we were playing, no Mercy came to our shows.
We backed each other up.
Yeah.
You guys were united, right?
We did.
Yeah, we were fucking tight.
We did have an opportunity to do a Welcome to Venice tour.
We fucking did a little one up north.
Oh, no way.
It was a blast.
It was suicidal, no Mercy, Beowulf, XL.
What a lineup.
Right?
Yeah.
Beautiful lineup.
Started getting popular.
No Mercy was getting popular.
Beowulf was getting popular.
XL was getting popular.
And someone didn't like that.
Oh, really?
So he decided to destroy the bands.
He destroyed.
He took Adam out of fucking XL.
The main songwriter.
Put him in Infectious Cruise.
Oh, I didn't know that.
Kicked out Kevin Gersh, the original singer of No Mercy.
And he took over.
And you know what happened with that.
Yeah.
Couldn't destroy Beowulf.
He couldn't touch me.
Oh, dude.
He can't touch me.
He can't touch me.
Wow.
And he knows it.
Have you had any contact with him?
He's tried to fuck me for so long, dude.
How?
Like legally?
Yeah.
He told one fucking record company, if you deal with Beowulf, you're not going to get my live DVD when I release.
So has he?
He called the fucking owner of the record company.
So he blackballed you?
He has been.
He's been doing it.
He owes me a lot of money, motherfucker.
Oh, wow.
Wow.
Why haven't you taken any legal action?
Because I don't do that, man.
I don't want to sit in front of Judge Judy and shit.
Where's the paper?
Is that why?
You know what I mean?
Would it be safe to say that your happiness and your credibility and your respect is more important than financial gain?
Absolutely.
Because you really do seem, and again, I said this prior.
Emilio, correct me if I'm wrong.
You really do seem very centered.
You really seem.
Amen.
Thank you.
At my age, I'm 45.
I'm 45.
And dude, at my age for being extremely angry than I am, now I've come to the realization like, fuck, I better smoke some weed or something.
Yeah, because you're going to kill yourself.
You're going to park and go.
Yeah, like these fucking microwave burritos ain't cutting it no more.
Hey, don't talk shit about T-Mans, man.
Hey, dude, I got a box of baked chicken.
Want me to cook it?
There's a stove right there.
I'll cook it, dude.
Maybe later, dude.
All right.
Yeah.
Let me ask you this.
You and I have another thing in common.
What's that?
What's that?
What's that?
What's that?
What's that?
What's that?
What's that?
What's that?
Now, you are an underground subversive broadcaster.
Yes, amen.
Talk to me about that.
KBWF Woo Show with Brother G.
What is that?
Talk to me about that.
Well, it's on dashradio.com's app.
It's a free app that you can get on your phone or at home.
All I know is that on your network, you have another fucking loudmouth fucking guy that wears smelly hats that I can't stand.
But other than that, this is a new...
I'll tell you later.
Okay.
I missed that one.
I missed that.
All I know is that this is a new station that has different diverse shows, correct?
It's brand new.
We're like four months deep into it.
Nice.
It's on Dash Radio app, but our channel is called Los Anarchy Radio.
Nice.
So it's ran by Ricky Palomino.
Okay.
And it's kind of on Snoop's platform.
Snoop's on there, and we're kind of under his wing right there.
So we have Snoop affiliations, which is great.
Snoop has a great check-in account.
There's nothing wrong with that.
I worked for him for two and a half years, dude.
Nice.
He built his whole freaking recording and production studio.
It's freaking beautiful.
Wow.
He's going to do a show and show it off.
You're going to see it.
When you see it, I did that motherfucker.
It's been two and a half years working on it.
That plywood is mine right there.
I put every fucking nail in that joint, dude.
Talk to me about broadcasting.
How do you like broadcasting?
I love it.
I love radio.
I love it so much.
It's such a platform just to speak your mind and let people fucking hear what you got to say.
So they can, you know.
You know what we're doing here?
This internet radio.
This internet radio is the new form of radio.
Fuck terrestrial radio.
Terrestrial radio is censored.
Right, right.
You can't say nothing.
You can't say shit.
You can't say Budweiser is the proud sponsor of KBWF Wolf Show with Brother D.
I'm sure they're going to send you it.
That'd be nice if they sent you a check.
That'd be nice.
They should send you a check for that shit.
Yeah.
I've been drinking this shit for years.
Hopefully it's not a mini check.
Seriously.
I've been keeping them in business.
What we're doing.
Yeah, right.
You should have stock.
You should have Budweiser stock.
I do.
I do.
I do.
I do.
I do.
I do.
I do.
I do.
I do.
I do.
I do.
I lost it.
What we're doing is the new form of freedom.
And we are the cutting edge of real radio now.
We are, dude.
I'm excited, dude.
Because it's such an opportunity for us out there just to bust out and just talk to everyone.
Talk to freaking Egypt or Istanbul, you know.
I don't know.
Istanbul.
Did you find broadcasting to be a natural thing for you?
Oh, I love that.
I love that.
Yeah.
I love that.
I love that.
I love that.
I love that.
I love that.
I love that.
I love that.
I love that.
We were speaking before in a KXLU.
Love KXLU.
That's where.
Adam Baum.
Final countdown.
Adam Baum.
Hey, you're a part of KDC.
Fuck KDC.
It was KXLU.
Final countdown.
Well, Adam Baum invited us to the studio to do an interview, man.
Yeah, he was ahead of his time.
He was the first one to interview us.
That was our first like, oh, we're doing an interview.
So we, you know, jacked up and got ready.
And I think we played live.
We played live, too, there.
Did you really?
Yeah, we played live, I think.
But, yeah, I was just sitting in the freaking studio, like we're doing now.
And I was just looking around.
I go, man.
And listen to Adam.
He's just ranting.
I'm going, that's so cool.
You just say whatever the fuck you want.
So I said, I love this shit.
And I told Mike Jensen, the original guitarist at Bellow, when we were walking up, I told him this.
I said, ah, dude, one day I'm going to have a radio show.
I'm going to call it KBWF.
Wow.
That was fucking when we were like 18.
So you predicted that shit.
I knew it.
That's what I want.
That's what I want.
That's really what I want him to do.
I wish you had the power to predict Powerball, buddy.
Oh, man.
By the way, fuck Chino Hills, too.
Fuck Chino.
Fuck Chino.
If you live in Chino Hills, you don't need no Powerball, buddy.
No, it's not going to happen.
Let me ask you this.
What are we going to do with Beowulf 2016?
Beowulf is going to rock it, dude.
We're going to go out and play it, man.
That's our main focus right now.
You love playing live, don't you?
I love playing live, dude.
Why is it that you do?
Because that's more on me.
Do you feel comfortable on stage?
That's where I'm me, dude.
I block out.
Yeah, do you?
I don't see anything past the fucking mic.
Really?
No.
What is it?
That's why I watch videos.
What the fuck am I doing, dude?
What is it that you experience on stage?
Because here's the deal.
When I go to a show, I mean, it's going on 35 years now.
When I go to a show, I walk in, and then within 10 minutes, I'm like, I want to get the fuck out of here.
If someone ain't annoying me, then my back is hurting, my back is hurting, my feet are hurting.
I find out how much a fucking Budweiser is.
I want to get the fuck out.
1981.
How is it that you maintain that energy and that joy for being on stage?
Like I said before, it's all I really know.
It's all, you know, everyone has their thing.
Like, I know plumbing, or I know fucking computers.
You know what I mean?
I know music.
That's my thing, dude.
Oh, wow.
I don't care if I'm broke.
I got it.
It's all I got.
As long as I may be poor, but I'm happy.
There you go.
You know what I mean?
You got to respect that, right?
Right, Big E?
You got to respect that shit.
Right there.
Hell yeah.
Here's another question.
What is poor?
I mean, who decides what poor is and what ain't poor?
You want to know what poor is?
Look at my wallet.
That's poor.
No, I know.
Yeah, but look at this.
This is rich.
No, you're right.
You can sit and laugh with your homies, you know, and take a minute to enjoy ourselves.
Where are we going?
I'll put.
Dale, you know what?
You should be my therapist, man.
Hey, dude, they call me Dr. Phil of Venice, dude.
I should show up to your couch with an 18-pack and I'll be walking out there happy.
Nah, dude, I do so many fucking Dr. Phil fucking sessions, bro.
Dude's coming over.
All right, let's listen to some of this.
I mentioned earlier that in the early 80s, out of Venice, California, there was this incredible music explosion going on.
Unfortunately, I don't want to say it's destroyed because these bands are, or some of these bands are still in existence, but at that time, that energy that was going on, it did really remind me of early, the early British 60s invasion.
Amazing, eclectic bands.
So, Chester, hit it.
Yeah.
You can come into our neighborhood as long as you show us respect.
You know what, man?
That was very well put, dude.
Fuck you up.
This is, this is...
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.

But he's straight, Holmes.
He goes to school.
Now they got him on his gang file shit, and he ain't banging, Holmes.
He ain't in no gang.
I really don't need him, Holmes.
I just am telling you this, man.
You gotta get him off the computer file, Holmes.
Well, he's gonna have to go to Jewelry Hall anyway.
Might do him some good, scare him a little.

Thank you.
Thank you.
All right.
One of the things that I really enjoy about Beowulf 2016.
Okay.
I just saw you last year play at the Grand Corps Fest.
And one of the things that I really enjoyed is that you still bring that raw, dangerous energy to the stage.
My question to you is how the fuck do you do that?
Hey, man.
I leave every bit of me on that stage during the set.
When I walk off after the last song, I take off.
Everything's just on the stage.
I'm fucking like an empty fucking box.
Is it like a purging for you?
Yeah.
It is.
It's a cleansing, dude.
I go out there and I get to, you know.
Because my songs that I write, they're not just, oh, I'm psycho and I'm crazy and this and that.
Woo-hoo.
Psycho for life.
I don't do that.
Yeah.
What I write about is real shit.
That's my fucking life.
Hey, dude, you want to know about me?
Go back to my first record and carry on to the sixth record and you'll find out about me.
I write real shit.
You know what I mean?
And I mean what I'm doing.
I'm not just there like, oh, how much are we getting paid?
How many t-shirts?
How many t-shirts did we sell?
What's on my writer?
Right.
Oh, they didn't give me orange.
They didn't give me the Doritos cool reds that I asked for.
Yeah, the orange Perrier.
The blue M&Ms.
All right.
Big E, well, what did we hear on that eclectic, reminiscent set there?
Well, we heard five tracks from the Welcome to Venice album.
Wow.
Yeah.
And you didn't make not one dollar off that, right?
I made $1.
I made $1.
I made $1.
I made $1.
I made $1.
I made $1.
I made $1.
I made $1.

I made $1.
I made $1.
I made $1.
I made $1.
I made $1.
I made $1.
No shit?
Ah, damn.
Shit, yes.
What did we hear there, Big E?
We heard Taste the Steel from Beowulf.
Next, we heard War Machine from No Mercy.
It's Not Easy from Los Cycles.
Enforcer from Chaotic Noise, now known as Excel.
Yeah, that's right.
Chaotic Noise.
And we ended the block with Unicorn from Beowulf.
Let me ask you this.
Real quick, though.
Give out the call-in number if anybody wants to call in and talk shit to myself.
800-893-9562.
800-893-9562.
Yeah, baby.
Dale, one of the questions that I had is that back at that time, all these bands that were under this Venice flag were affiliated with the Suicidals.
Yes.
Yes.
And it was categorized as a gang.
Yes, it was.
Was it a gang?
And were you affiliated with that?
Here's my take on it.
At the Pacific Division, it's a police over...
They may categorize it as.
They did categorize it, Suicidal, as a gang.
They also categorized Beowulf as a gang.
Yeah, I remember that.
They would take, because we hung out on the left side of the pier.
You've always had...
You've always had a very supportive group of friends following you.
Yes, yes, yes.
Well, we hung out.
We hung out.
We've always admired your penalty collection.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The shit we did and got away with is crazy, but we used to hang out left side of the pier, Venice Pier.
That was our hangout.
Left side was where you go.
That's like home away from home, right?
And the cops would come and take pictures.
Oh, wow.
So, someone got busted, right?
They walked through.
Oh, wow.
They took them to the fucking gangster wall.
Do you know this person?
He's all, dude, I seen you on the fucking wall.
Dude, I'm not serious.
Beowulf gang.
So, you know this guy?
He's like, mm-mm.
I didn't say it, but dude, you got a picture of you on the fucking wall, dude.
Yeah, like Mike Jansen, Paul Yamada, fucking Rick Clayton.
They had us all on the fucking wall like we were fucking gang members.
Wow.
Fucking godfathers.
Yeah.
But it was a gas, dude.
I guess that's kind of nice.
That's nice, right?
But was it?
Were you guys a gang?
In a sense, yes.
We were family, you know?
Right.
I mean, what do you call a gang?
I mean, what classifies a gang?
Killing people and doing that shit?
Nah.
We were a family, though.
We were very tight.
And that bond exists to this day.
Amen.
How is that possible?
It's just because that was a freaking era in time that will never be repeated.
It was just something there, man.
Just fucking.
It worked for everyone.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, when I saw you play recently at the Grand Corps, I was very.
I don't want to say I was shocked.
Because I've seen that brotherhood before.
But in my neighborhood, it's affiliated with criminal activity.
I'm not saying we're not criminal.
What I admired, though, was that brotherhood and that support that you get and that true friendship.
It's more than friendship, man.
It goes beyond friendship.
I'm not gay shit.
I'm the same.
No, no.
I mean, dude, we're from the same background.
I know.
Exactly.
More than friendship.
It's family shit.
I don't know.
It's hard to explain.
Yeah, familia.
All right.
I'll take a bullet for your ass, motherfucker.
I wouldn't go that far.
There's a couple motherfuckers.
Like, Big Evo, I love you, but I wouldn't take a bullet for you.
I'll take a bite.
I'll take a bite.
Because it'll probably miss me.
It'll take a torta from me.
I got angels around me, dog.
I got angels that divert the bullets.
I mentioned this before.
You are.
What you told me was that in 2000.
In 2016, you're going to really focus on playing.
Yes.
Because, obviously, you enjoy playing.
Are you going to be going to new markets?
And what I mean by that, new areas within the United States or outside of the United States?
Yes.
Yes.
Well, Rio the Real Deal, my co-host on a KBWF Wolf show with Brother D on Los Anacan Radio.
Sorry.
I had to throw that in.
That's all right.
It's all good.
You're my guest, son.
Damn.
But, yeah, he's Luis Adel Antonio.
The guy who named the band with the name.
He's working on South America.
Nice.

Are you planning on going to Brazil?

Dale I just want to say That you're Doing a good job Getting the Beowulf Back on track You got the right people Behind you Right on man Amen Right there And you also got A good lineup in the band now.
Yeah, yeah.
I know that your bass player is like, you know, your bass player is a good friend of mine and he's multi-talented.
The Waffle?
He's, yep.
The Waffle, yes.
Belgian Waffle.
Yes, he is the Belgian Waffle and the lineup I do have right now, you're correct, is freaking one of the tightest and fullest that I've had since freaking the first record.
Have you had a problem with lineups before?
Oh, yeah.
What is it?
Is it because they just, they start getting ambitious or they start hating the loyalty and the respect that you get?
There you go.
That's what it is.
Is it what it is?
Mm-hmm.
Is it they get the whole, like, what is this, I'm in Dale's band type of complex?
Kind of.
I mean, I'm not in Dale's band.
You're in fucking Bevel, motherfucker.
Yeah, but I've noticed...
Act like it and respect it.
I've noticed that before that, you know, a lot of times, I guess because of the way you carry yourself and the way you are that you appeal to a lot of people and you're open to everybody.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, I'll tell you what I feel.
Yeah, I could see, I could see why, you know, I guess some of the band members in your past, they feel slighted.
They don't feel like they're getting the attention.
Um, not so much that.
I don't know.
He said, like, attention comes towards the singer.
Right.
Regardless in any band, you look at the singer.
Now, George, you go way back as far as Big Evil and myself, correct?
Yeah, sure do.
Now, do you recall those Balboa Theater shows back in the 80s?
What'd you do, George?
Yeah.
Did your car, did your car get broken into back then?
Oh, man.
No, no car.
I was on the bus.
Yeah.
I take the bus, Gus.
That's crazy.
Why is it that you are a Beowulf fan, George?
Uh, you know what?
I actually just caught them because they were playing with a lot of the other bands that I was, uh, really into and they just really caught me on just, just the intensity.
Um, you know, back then with Beowulf, we had that, that Lemmy mustache.
He had that.
Yeah.
He picked up mics.
Yeah.
And you know what?
I go, you know what?
This is my era.
Yeah.
And, you know, that's, that's the way I look at it.
They were like, the Lemmy of the underground, the punk scene.
Right on.
Thank you, man.
Right on, man.
Right on.
That's really good.
You know, I had that mustache so I can buy beer because I was 16.
Hey, this was, this was my guy that bought beer.
He had that fucking beard since he was 14 years old.
Yeah, that's how I was 14.
Were you the guy that had to go get the beer?
That was me.
Like, everyone gave me the money.
Go get beer.
Oh, hey.
Some of the major Gs.
Hey, George, thanks for calling in.
I got a cool, I got a cool Beowulf shirt for you.
It's a size large so this will encourage you to lose some weight and become healthy and sport this cool Beowulf shirt.
The next time I see you, it's yours, my friend.
You got it.
I'll probably catch you tomorrow.
I'm going to be at Venom.
Nice, man.
I'll see you there.
Nice talking, George.
Thanks for calling in, my friend.
All right.
We're going to be wrapping it up here, but real quick, one of the things that I want to mention is the fact that I'm going to be in our private conversations.
We were talking about that whole corporate fiasco that all the bands from that era had to deal with.
Right.
And the fact that you were blackballed.
Do you feel that if a certain individual didn't go as far as to blackball you, that Beowulf would be at a whole other level of success?
Because I remember that there was a period of time, I think in the early 90s, where there was a lot of...
We were thumping, man.
We were freaking going.
Yeah.
And so, do you feel that if you didn't have that sabotage, you would be at a whole other...
Yes.
Absolutely.
And you hold no animosity, no anger towards that?
I'm not going to say no, but for me to sit around getting mad about it doesn't make anything better.
Yeah.
What I'm doing is I'm keeping my shit going.
He knows, he knows, I know he fucking tracks Bad Wolf, see what those are.
Yeah.
And he gets kind of, when we start fucking coming...
But you know what?
Let me just mention this.
In the end, the true wealth is respect and love.
And you're very wealthy, my friend.
30 years, so...
Amen.
That's what I told you before, brother.
All right.
We're going to play one more track and then we're going to come back and say farewell.
Chester, hit it.
Yeah.
You want a tip, honey?
I'll give you a tip.
You put the condom on with your mouth and you stop acting like your anus is a national treasure.
You're a fucking hooker, for Christ's sake.
Fuck you.
Whoa.
Let me tell you something, honey.
One day, one old bastard that you milked, he's going to carve you up talking like that.
Now, how would you like that?
Jesus, I don't know.
You think I'd come?
If you could, maybe, you would.
But I'm thinking no.
Fuck you.
Which is pretty much what I had in mind when she come up here.
In bed with my bed bed bed!
guitar solo I made my hair feel bad, not this time Take a rough dismal, make it shine Boy to voice, tongue to someone else Not me, I'll blow your ass away Throw your rock one way Throw your rock one way Yes, I rented my house I'm the only one Touch the leather sink, feel my plight Now go before I take you off Now, now, blow your ass away Throw your rock one way Throw your rock Now Before you try To force me out of my eye Put the butt out of your house Step right, yes Put the butt out of your house Step right, yes Yeah, throw your rock Breath of the dead Step right, yes Make sure to be the one Make sure to be the one Make sure to be the one For the first time For the first time All right.
What did we hear there, Emilio?
Throw your rock from Beowulf off the Two Cents album.
All right.
Hey, Dale.
Hey.
Hey, Dale.
Come on over here.
We're gonna say farewell here.
Beowulf.
One of the things that I've always admired about Los Angeles bands, including Beowulf, is that when you started, there was no money.
Nope.
There was no...
Hey, Chester, turn on his mic.
There was no money.
Hello.
There you are.
There was no money.
There was no...
There wasn't even chicks going fucking to those shows back then.
Oh, we had chicks.
We had fucking Beowulf.
The bands had chicks.
Oh, yeah.
We just didn't have...
We had the Beowulf girls.
We didn't have shit.
God damn it.
You'd be surprised when...
I wonder if this motherfucker's happy.
I'd be happy, too.
All right.
See?
Well, the thing is, the thing is, the thing that I admired about those bands, even though they had chicks, is the fact that you were doing it when it wasn't successful.
You were doing it from the heart, man.
So the fact that you're...
From day one, we've been doing it like that.
30 years later, man, the fact that you're very grounded, the fact that you're sincere and honest, it really is rewarding.
And even now, and I'm being dead serious with you.
Right on, right on.
You're an inspiration.
I hope I get...
I hope I get a fraction of your serenity because you really are a very...
Hey, man.
Like you said, we got to hang out more, dog.
Yeah.
Yeah, I need you to fucking hear my complaints.
I'm there.
I'll be there for you, baby.
All right.
Beowulf is back.
Yes, sir.
They're stronger than ever.
Make sure...
How can people find out about Beowulf?
Where do they direct?
You go to the Facebook page.
That's the whole social media thing now, right?
Oh, yeah.
So you got to...
I'm all over that mother...
Beowulf, BYZ, right?
Beowulf, BYZ.
Beowulf, BYZ, or, you know, the KBWF Wolf Show.
KBWF Wolf Show.
Talk to me about your show.
When does it air?
It airs...
It airs every Friday from 3 to 5.
Venice Standard...
I say Venice Standard Time.
Pacific Standard Time.
And 3 to 5, man, on the dashradio.com network.
And you go to the Los Anarchy channel.
It's the only punk metal thrash channel on there.
Right.
And we just got our numbers back, and we're the fastest moving station on Dash Radio, meaning moving up with listeners.
Good.
Right on, man.
So we're up to close, like 200,000, and listeners...
You know, normally I'm a hater.
Normally I curse and hate my competition, but in this case, I'm glad to hear that.
Yeah, yeah.
Normally I'm wishing cancer on people.
No, but see, what we do is we're a brotherhood here, man.
So the Jimmy Cabs Show is also part of the KBWF Wolf Show.
I'm being dead serious when I say this.
We are at the forefront of real radio.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And this is a movement that's going on now.
Love it.
Really, with the exception of that dude with the smelly leather hat.
Ooh!
Oh, gosh!
This type of shows is essential to real radio because what's going on terrestrially is all corporate slavery gibberish.
Eat butt.
I got a coupon for embos.
Yeah, that's why I'm glad the fucking Eagles has come to an end.
I can't hang with it.
All right.
All right.
Booking information.
If someone wants to book...
If someone wants...
I'll start with that.
If someone wants to book Beowulf, how can they get a hold of...
You want to hit up...
Luis Adel Antonio.
He's on Facebook.
He's the Beowulf manager.
I'm going to let him take care of that other part.
So, there you go, Lou.
I'll get...
The real, the real...
I'll take care of the headaches now.
You're doing all that, huh?
Yeah.
So, if they want to book Beowulf, they get a hold of you?
Yeah, message me or, you know, I got my email, you know, 1201cycleatgmail.com.
Email me right there, too.
Say it one more time.
It was the 1201cycleatgmail.com.
And I got my other email, LuisAdelXST at...
hotmail.com.
All right.
I want to thank Dale Henderson and his entourage here for showing up today.
Yeah, baby.
It was great seeing you again, Dale.
I got to say, man, you know what?
You really are, and I mean this in the most sincere way, and non-homosexualist, you really are a good human being, dude.
Oh, thank you, man.
In a world of fucking bastards and shit, it's nice to see good people still exist.
Right on.
Thank you for being here.
All right.
Right on.
Thank you for that.
All right.
Before we leave here, this is something that I want to talk about.
Mike Lave...
Oh, I'm going to fucking butcher his name.
Mick Lander of Malice.
He has a GoFundMe campaign going on because he's fighting cancer.
For those of you that remember Malice, he's the guitarist of Malice, please go to www.gofundme.com.
Mick Lavender.
Ugh.
God, it fucking sucks being...
Spell it.
Sucks being a fucking LA Unified creator.
Yeah.
Landover.
There you go.
Landover.
Mick Landover.
Go and...
Or if not, go to my Facebook page and you'll see a link there and whatever you contribute.
Listen, $1.50.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's all good.
With that, we're going to end it with some Malice.
Again, I want to thank my guests.
Thank you for being here.
All right.
Thank you for listening.
The Manic Show.
And with that, be good, be real, be true.
