People can say whatever they want, there is so much to learn from music heroes from the 70s and 80s.
True school of rock n' roll.
Thanks for this great content!
Thank you, brother! A lot can be learned from those before us, we just need to listen.
70’s thru 90’s Ruled!
You got that right?
Few people understands that not only the band and his musicians, but also the crew and everyone else related to the company literally is able to put food on their tables thanks to the sacrifices you make Joey. While everyone else is having fun and sightseeing you are working endlessly in the hotel trying to fix everything and every tiny aspect of the production to be perfect. So at the end of the day the fans gets what they deserve, everyone gets paid and everything works. On top of that you need to be a musician, a friend and almost a father to everyone involved and surrounding the band. Your job is colossal, and the young generations are totally clueless about the immense sacrifices you did and do. Luckily a few of us from this side are aware of this and we, your fans, contemplate with awe and gratitude your figure.
thanks again, Gus
Wow, Joey!
That actually shows a side of you I've never seen. And I have a huge folder with interviews I collected from '82 forward. More of that please!
One thing though - I'm one of the guys who thinks you should do more on bass in new songs, BUT let me explain:
The verse in Guyana, the intro of Battle Hymn, the intro of Bridge Of Death, Mountains, Defender, etc, etc.
Those were all elevating the song and not messing it up and you've made it such an important part of Manowar. So me personally I'd love to hear new songs with stuff like that.
wow, what a super comment. Thank you so much for taking the time to write all of this. I appreciate the suggestions too. Yes, the intros are fun I agree with you totally and thank you again please subscribe to the channel. Tell all your friends to join us.
First part was just amazing. I simply had no information on Brian Wheat before I watched your interview Joey. Now I'm a fan of him thanks to you 🤘🏻
Will check the second part too...
Glad you enjoyed it! thanks so much for taking the time to comment please subscribe to the channel until your friends to join us

Great second interview with Brian.I honestly wasn't expecting much and I say that as someone who grew up with Tesla.
He’s an amazing guy this interview just scratches the surface. I really hope he will come and join us. Again thanks for your support. Please subscribe until your friends to join us.
0:47 Joey's face says it all (the true connoisseur!), when Brian is counting up Page's masterworks! Great talk!
Cool, thank you so much for for taking the time to write. Please subscribe to the channel and tell your friends to join us.
This second part didn't disappoint my expectation. I loved to see and listen this point of view about beatles and the music. I agree that soloes ĥave to be complementary to the music and to story the song is telling. I always had the feeling you worked as an architect Joey. Your music is so perfect in every aspect and every single instruments has its place and gives the right emotions. Thanks to be as you are because you give us joy and special feelings with your music.
Brian is damn solid as a bass player and does whats best for the band. And his bass tone on the new album Full Throttle Live is MONSTEROUS
Very true and well said thank you so much for your support of the channel. Please subscribe and tell all your friends to join us.
Thank you for telling it how it is, the bass is the foundation! Also so many bassists in metal just double the guitar and get lost in the mix resulting in a loss of groove and heavyness.
You’re more than welcome glad you appreciate it thank you very very much, and please subscribe to the channel and tell your friends to join us
Loved it! Great second episode. By the way, I've seen people playing the piano with their toes... It doesn't matter how you do it. If it sounds good then it is good!
Very true indeed. Thanks for following me. Tell your friends to join us on our journey, too.
Man you are creating ADDICTIVE Content! Haha.
I gotta watch this in full after the gym.
Loveddd the intro!
I appreciate that! Thank you for taking the time to write. Very cool indeed, please subscribe to the channel and tell your friends to join us.
Great part two. Waiting for the third. I hope youtube will remember to give me a push, because this time, unfortunately, it has forgotten, so i couldn't be abe to see live...
I hope so too! Thank you for your support and tell your friends to join us
Hey this is great conversation just the ticket.
Excellent once again!!! Waiting for the 3rd part!!!
Thanks again!
I'm gutted that even though I activated the bell to receive every single update from this channel, TH-cam still f*cked up and gave me zero notifications! I was like "why Joey is taking so long to release part 2?" and turns out this has been out for 8 days already!! Anyway....
What a wholesome and insightful interview. In the context of Manowar, this is exactly why many in the metal community (including myself) consider the first 6 records, and specially the first 4, to be absolute classics of the genre - SONGS FIRST.
There are many, many catchy and melodic elements in these records, from the bass line intros/bridges to the crunchy, mid-paced guitar riffs and solos. The straightforward yet effective drum pounding of the late Scott Columbus only help to exacerbate said melodies. Also little to no symphonic elements (except in Kings of Metal) or thrashy, tremolo-picked passages (very prominent in e.g. The Triumph Of Steel) in these albums, which contribute to the catchiness and juiciness of the songs.
I believe I'm not the only here that wish Manowar could once again tap into that formula that worked so damn well in the past. It would be truly special to hear songs molded with those elements in mind again.
Looking forward for part 3 of this incredible interview!
Well thank you very much for your support. We greatly appreciate it. I think you will find a lot of the things you’re talking about in the re-recording of sign of the hammer and also in the new songs from the new record we’re working on, so please subscribe to the channel and tell all your friends to join us.
@@realjoeydemaio thank you for taking the time to reply to every comment! I'm very curious to hear and digest the new stuff that's coming!
Great interview. It's s rare that you see Joey struggling to get a word in 😂
thanks so much for your comment. It’s actually a blessing. He is so interesting and such a great and cool guy. I hope one day you can meet him in person please subscribe to the channel and tell all your friends to join us and once again my thanks
Looking forward to Pt.3!

Joey having David DeFeis in that podcast would be super interesting! I'd love to see that!
Great suggestions thank you so much please subscribe to the channel and tell your friends to join us
Great stuff!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Love me some Tesla, but also some Manowar. I was at the show in Cleveland (Flashes) in the mid ‘90s (Triumph line-up) where Jeff Hair doubled the PA, they handed out ear plugs at the door, and Joey blew the power to the club during the bass solo. Epic!
oh yes, I miss the owner of that place. He was a great guy. It was a great place. Lots of fun thanks for your support. Please subscribe and tell all your friends to join us.
Brian is so musically intelligent, i have such a nice time listening to him : )
Yes, he’s very cool and a world of knowledge Please subscribe tell your friends to join us.
As a guitar player I totally agree with him :) the song is king
And bass solo on an album....
same here thank you for your support and taking the time to write. Please subscribe and tell your friends to join us.
Awesome stuff here ...
Talking about bass guitar as a fan i would like to hear in your new songs the 80s bass sound as it is in Into Glory Ride Hail to England or Sign of the Hammer
Thank you for the music Joey 22:14
Thank you so much really appreciate you taking the time to write, but it’s nearly impossible to create sounds from the past. If you think about it, you would actually have to go back to that exact studio with those exact microphones exact control rooms and processors. It could never happen the same but I think you will enjoy the base on the new re-recording of signed the hammer and on the new record, I’m playing through 12 different sources and combination. Thank you so much for your support. Please subscribe to the channel all your friends to join us.
Warriors of the world bass line is perfectly awesome. Plus it's song first..
Thank you very much. It was fun to record it and it’s fun to play it every night live please subscribe to the channel and tell your friends to join us
Awesome brah !
Thanks for the visit please subscribe to the channel tell your friends to join us
F your solo...not the thing to say to Joey ahah. Jokes aside great video once again.
I know I hope he wasn’t talking to me ha ha but all joking aside he’s a really talented, brilliant guy and a fantastic person but I know exactly what he meant. There’s a time and place for everything. Thanks for your comment please subscribe until your friends to join us.
Dear Joey and Brian, don't loose hope and faith in the "2 in the room" for whom music still count, you were mentioning. My kid has grown with your tunes in the head, he's 7 now, and has started to write parts of his own. We are absolutely no misicians in the familly : this would have never happened without the influence of titans like you.
what an amazing compliment, and what an amazing comment. Thank you so much for these great words please subscribe to the channel and tell all your friends to join us.
Why didn´t the Tesla guy talk about suppressed free energy!?! 😀 😉
And yes, MAB is amazing!! A modern Blackmore. Great improvisation, melody and feeling!
Thank you for taking the time to write greatly appreciated and thanks for the compliments. I will pass them on to Mike please subscribe and tell your friends to join us.
to the part about Joey not playing like he used to....welll I like the new stuff, but the bass play used to be more unique. With so many bands in the world already, uniqueness is what everyone wants. Why listen to something that a million other bands are already doing? Nobody to this day plays the way Joey used to play and that's absolutely fascinating. How many musicians can say that? And the fans love it, so to hell with lessons about how it should be played, music should be about how you feel. Emotions are the key to good music.
An artist puts emotions into his work, and the fan must feel those emotions from that work. That is true art.
thank you for such an amazing comment. I really appreciate it. I don’t think I’m playing any differently. I just don’t think that I’m playing anything I want rather it fits in the song or not then I think that’s something. I’ve learned overtime that if I take attention away from the vocals or any other instrument that I’m doing something wrong unless I’m supposed to be taking attention for a solo piece, but I’m always looking for a way to strike a happy balance although I confess live I probably play more like what people are talking about in your comment but thank you so much please subscribe and tell your friends to join us
From such details, I mean how a guitarist deals with his ego, one can evaluate how mature or childish that musician is. But it's just the same for every other role in the band
you’re right this is the way life is though we have to try to work with people and some people you can work with and some people you can’t. I’m sure you know it sounds like you know what you’re talking about. Thank you for your support and please subscribe to the channel and tell your friends to join us.
Oddly enough, Billy Joel just released a brand-new song two days ago... and it is really good too.
And Manowar fans... we still waiting! Hopefully will a new album be released.
@@toralm6974 You'll be waiting until 2025 for a new album, at least that's what Joey said. The 'Sign of the Hammer' redo will probably be released later this year.
well, he’s a talent and a genius and a legend he can do whatever the hell he wants to do and I’m happy it’s probably gonna be good. Thanks for your support and tell all your friends to join us.

I swear to God Brian and I must be long lost brothers cause I've said the same shit to band members the song is king it's the most important thing cause of you don't have the songs what's the fucking point I always considered myself a composer arranger Lyricist vocalist drummer in that order. I would. Rather write and record I'm a musician I had no aspirations to be a cock star my favorite guitarist is Hank Sherman from Mercyful Fate
Well, clearly you’ve got the right idea so stay with it and thanks for supporting the channel and taking the time to write. Really appreciate it. Please subscribe and tell your friends to join us.
thanks man had a quick question for you what happened between you and Rhapsody why did you stop managing them not trying to be nosey I was just wondering
Correct I no longer manage them but we’re dear friends. In fact, I planned to have Alex on the program who is the keyboard artist and founder and a super person
Awesome I've been a fan of theirs since legendary tales they've been always been great thanks Joey looking forward to that show
