00:00Riff TV presents Meltdown's Meltdown.

00:08Hey, thanks so much for checking out the video.

00:10Great week. I was on Darren McCarty's podcast along with Dave Coulier

00:14as we talked about Fight Night at the Joe.

00:17That's right. Can I help you?

00:19Hey. What? What's with the shirt?

00:22Fight Night at Joe Louis Arena. Don't you remember that?

00:24March 26, 1997. Come on now.

00:27I was one.

00:29Oh, yeah, that's right. Hmm.

00:31Let me explain what happened.

00:32Pull up a chair, please.

00:34Riff Rock Girl Haley.

00:36Way back in the 1900s, there was a villain.

00:40His name was Claude Lemieux.

00:42And nobody liked him.

00:44And one day, he did something really bad to one of our hockey players.

00:48His name was Chris Draper.

00:49And we vowed to have revenge.

00:51And we did. Oh, we did.

00:53It was Fight Night at the Joe.

00:55So, March 26, 1997, Darren McCarty found him in open ice

01:02and made him pay for what he did to Chris Draper.

01:06Oh, and he paid.

01:07He was beaten at center ice of Joe Louis Arena like a rented mule.

01:12Claude Lemieux became known as the Turtle.

01:15And then, do you know what happened?

01:18No, but it sounds horrifying.

01:20We went on to win the Stanley Cup.

01:21Hey, on my Talkin' Rock podcast this week,

01:29talked with Dave Mustaine from Megadeth.

01:32And I asked him about the pressure of putting out a new record

01:35after their last one won a Grammy.

01:37Well, I'd like to think it's hosting as usual,

01:39but to be honest, in the back of my mind,

01:42I keep saying, you know,

01:43as long as it's as good as dystopia,

01:46we're going to be safe.

01:47So, that's the bar.

01:48And the problem is, that's a pretty high bar.

01:52Yeah, and how far are you along in the new album?

01:56Well, I've got eight songs that I've written,

01:59and the band guys are supposed to be writing stuff, too.

02:05So, we'll see just how much music everybody contributes.

02:09I'm hoping to get a lot of music from different players

02:14because they all have something great to offer.
