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?
