Episode notes
Show Up On Time Or Don't Join The Tour
- Jay Jay French stressed practical logistics: punctuality and professionalism matter when joining a touring band.
- He told Sebastian, "if you can't get on the plane on time and be in the lobby at 7 a.m., don't even talk to me."
Rehearsal Went Nuclear On Tear It Loose
- Sebastian described the rehearsal explosion when they played Tear It Loose and Destroyer, calling the energy "insane."
- He pushed to include those heavier songs and said the band "nailed it" during the secret rehearsal.
Replacements Work If Fans Respect The Legacy
- Eddie Trunk compared high-profile replacements (Axl for Brian Johnson) to show that respectful, fan-driven substitutes can succeed.
- He warned some fans will opt out, but many will attend to hear the songs performed well.
