Transcript

00:00Hello, I'm Aaron. I play guitar in a band called Keylock.

00:09How's it going? I'm Johnny. I play...

00:11I do not. That was a good start, wasn't it?

00:21I grew up in Oxford in England.

00:24I still grew up listening to rock and roll from my parents, really.

00:27And I started playing guitar when I was eight.

00:30I just got lessons from the teacher in the next village to me.

00:33He kind of got me into blues, listening to B.B. King and Robert Johnson, things like that.

00:37So I went to local jam and I had blues things and that, put my band together.

00:41And we sort of did that for eight years. I released the record.

00:44When you're a guitar player who sings a bit, you're limited to what you can do.

00:59And after an album or maybe two albums, you start to feel restricted in what kind of stuff you can put out.

01:06Doing a whole new thing with a big band, to me, was refreshing and something that I wanted to do.

01:13Standing on a platform again, another night on another bound train.

01:19I was on holiday when I was about seven or eight.

01:23They went to a car boot sale and got a cassette of the Sweet's Greatest Hits.

01:27And I was just fascinated. Pop music hadn't really done anything for me when I was a kid.

01:33I wasn't really interested.

01:35And then all of a sudden there's all this lay of harmonies and guitars and stuff.

01:39And I was totally sold on that kind of 70s glam rock sound.

01:43And then from there, I was just a huge Queen fan.

01:56And then Queen toured with Paul Rogers in 2005. I was about 12.

02:01I just fell totally in love with the idea of being a singer.

02:04And Paul Rogers just blew me away.

02:08And then from there, I went about trying to copy his vocals and get that kind of style down.

02:22Quite a big ask for someone who's like 13, 14 years old trying to sing like Paul Rogers.

02:27I kept plugging at it with bands in Liverpool and Aaron got in touch and suggested that he was looking for something new.

02:45We started off just either jamming the blues or meeting up in songwriting.

02:48But then all of a sudden with all this music there, we were just like,

02:52OK, now we have to put something together and now we have to form a band.

02:56I'm saying at the top of the hill, I got a hundred ninety-nine by the description bill.

03:02Got it down, I got it made, I got it all in my hands, I know.

03:09So if you're looking for a light, you can have mine.

03:13I just want to see your love light shine.

03:16Oh, let it shine, shine, shine, it'll shine on me.

03:21I'll come back to someone like Five Company.

03:24What's on the record is those guys, you know what I mean?

03:27There's not a whole lot of, there's not big orchestrated strings or there's not 17 guitar tracks or, you know,

03:35there's not been a thousand takes of the vocal.

03:37It's just honest and it's real.

03:39And it's more often than not like musicians playing live in the room together.

03:43When it hits you and you kind of get it and you understand the honesty that's inside that music

03:47and it's not like the dog you can hide behind.

03:50You know, it's more about playing and what's inside you and getting that out.

03:55Just great songs and honest songs.

03:57I think if you get that and that hits you, I think that's kind of who you are.

04:02My dad took me to see the black clothes at Brickson Academy when I was eight or nine, I think.

04:08And that kind of changed things for me.

04:11That was when I sort of realized what true rock and roll was.

04:16I think to me, like at their prime, you know what I mean?

04:28They were the last true great rock and roll band that really stood for everything that rock and roll was about.

04:32Coming home, I'm coming home.

04:38I feel like there's a tendency for people now to go,

04:55Oh, it's only three chords. We can't release the song that's three chords.

04:58Yeah, you can.

04:59You know what I mean?

05:00It's all about how the song is, how the song sounds.

05:05It's not necessarily like a complex.

05:08It's not a science experiment.

05:09It's music.

05:10It's feeling.

05:11It's not.

05:12It hasn't got to be precise.

05:13It's just five guys playing music that they love, enjoying themselves.

05:17And I think coming home is a good introduction.

05:35Hello.

05:36And now...

05:37Have a great game!

05:38Please keep moving.

05:40Welcome home is a beautiful day, everybody.

05:42And who are really close?

05:43Have a great win quick.

05:44I have a blow.

05:45Once we只 down every day.

05:46Welcome home is a great win quick.

05:47Hey, everybody.

05:48Welcome home is on our way.

05:49I meant to leave.

05:49Go.

05:51After your glory.

05:52We're good.
