I was taking his chances but he said at the stage he said,
[Fm] what do I want to be here [B] working for this asshole if he's going to scream at me every night?
[G] It's no fun.
Don't do it.
So we're pretty set?
Okay.
_ _ _ _ [N] _ _
_ Mott's apple juice.
I've always loved it. _ _
_ _ _ MTV loves it when we put endorsements like that on. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Okay, let's talk a little bit more about credence.
Um, _ _ what?
_ _ _ Let's start with a different_
Why?
[Bm] _ _ Why as opposed to what?
Why do you think credence's songs were so popular? _ _ _ _ _
_ Hmm, that's a hard question.
[Am] Why they were so popular? _ _ _ _ _ _
From my point of view, the reason that they were popular was
_ _ that we felt that there was this link _ between rockabilly and rock and blues
that _ hadn't really been [N] touched upon _ except a little bit by the Beatles and the Stones, of course.
But there was one other American element, I guess, you know, _
more closer to the Sun Records sound.
And, _ is _ that correct English?
More closer? _ _
_ _ _ Anyway, so we went after that and _ I guess that if we hit the right vein,
maybe that's why, you [B] know, that's the only thing I could say about it.
What were your favorite songs?
Your favorite credence songs?
My favorite [Gb] credence songs?
My very favorite one is Run Through the Jungle _
because it combines _ kind of all the elements of the _ Louisiana feeling and [G] then
_ had a real spacey beginning and end. _
It wasn't synthesizer, it was guitar,
but it has the kind of feeling that you could get now with the synthesizer.
And _ the beat was, I think, came from an old Champs record where you had the backbeat going,
but in the meantime, [Am] the hand claps were going [Eb] _ in between, you know, and it all fit together.
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [B] And it's just like the culmination for me of all the things that we tried to get.
It was the most soulful record we made.
_ Do you remember a favorite show?
_ _ _ _ Favorite show?
That would have to be _ _ Live at the Royal Albert Hall. _
_ _ It's a [Bm] little special. _ _
_ _ What's one of your [Eb] current musical [Bm] activities?
What do you think? _ _ _ _
Well, right now I'm working,
_ [Dm] _ I'm doing like three things.
I'm working with my son Jeff, who's _ _ into rock and roll,
and we just completed an EP.
I helped him co-produce it, [D] and _ he wrote [D] _
and sang and
played [Ab] everything on it, except for one background part, but he [Db] let me do that.
And so we're going to [B] try to get him a record deal. _ _ _ _ _ _
I wrote a couple of songs that I submitted to my friend Saul Zentz, who is the chairman of
the board of Fantasy Records, and his last hit movie was Amadeus.
You might have heard of that.
[Fm] _ _ _
And the new movie is called The Unbearable Lightness of Being.
_ _ _ And around Christmas time he gave me the book.
He didn't say write the music, but after reading
the book I said, [E] well, I think I'll write some music, and I submitted that to him.
And so I'm waiting to hear about [Abm] that.
I did that with Randy Yoda, a friend of mine from California. _ _
And then [Eb] the last thing I'm doing is putting together _ _ a video that people can go out and buy
of _ that concert at the Royal Albert Hall that I just mentioned.
That was filmed both nights.
It was
a salad concert in _ _ 1970 _ that's been sitting in the can all this time.
We've been trying for a
couple of years to get it out now, and we're getting real close.
_ _ Great, great.
It [Db] seems like it would be really easy to [Eb] market.
Wow, that's terrific.
Your son Jeff, is he influenced by Creedence? _ _
Yeah, yeah.
Well, he heard that music all the time when he was growing up,
so he's influenced by Creedence.
_ But _ he's _ _ very influenced by Eddie Van Halen.
He's a guitar
player.
He's a guitar player first and then a singer, so when we work together, the first thing
he does is just get his guitar out, turn it up, and just start wailing.
He plays a lot better
lead guitar than I do, so it's fun to work with him because I [A] can play rhythm, he can play lead,
and then we can do all these things.
_ _ _ But he's a very modern-oriented.
He doesn't try to sound
like Creedence.
[F] He sounds more like _ heavy metal does now.
_ [Em] Thanks for coming here.
Thank you very much for having me.
[D] Thank you. _
[Fm] what do I want to be here [B] working for this asshole if he's going to scream at me every night?
[G] It's no fun.
Don't do it.
