And now the bonfire with Big J Okerson and Robert Kelly.
Host 1
We have our guest joining us in the studio right now. He's coming in. Very, very big deal.
Host 2
Hey.
Host 1
So exciting.
Host 2
Hey. Right over here, buddy.
Host 1
How are you, sir? It's a pleasure to meet you.
Lou Diamond Phillips
Yeah, thanks for having me.
Host 1
The great. The legend.
Host 2
I mean, you're a legend. Come on.
Host 1
You're a legend in the house. Welcome to the show, sir.
Lou Diamond Phillips
Pleasure. Thank you. Are these mine?
Host 2
Those are yours.
Lou Diamond Phillips
Excellent.
Host 1
It is. You said. Oh. When I say legend. But I. If I had to give one main reason why I'd say you're a legend in movies is because I said very few people have done this. When you play somebody in a biopic and make it so much like, you become the character so much that when people picture. If someone said Richie Valance, I picture you. I picture your face singing the song. It's. It's. It's iconic.
Lou Diamond Phillips
Well, I. I had the benefit of the. The fact that Richie, and no disrespect whatsoever, because he was 17 years old, was not as, you know, easily identifiable as, say, Elvis or Little Richard or somebody who. Even Buddy Holly. Buddy Holly was iconic with the glasses and everything. And so people have a certain expectation of what that person's going to look like. When I portrayed Richie, his face wasn't as well known. And what I love about it is that I think it prompted a lot of people to go back and him, you know, and. And I think, you know, the family was always really, really grateful that we brought Richie's legacy back, you know, and. And that he was no longer just an asterisk in. In, you know, Buddy Holly's story.
Host 1
Yeah, yeah. Whenever I've been on a small plane, we always pick which one we are. Unfortunately. Unfortunately, one time we got on it and we were all big boppers. That was the scariest one. Oh, man, we're all big Bo.
Lou Diamond Phillips
Ever get like a Jim Croce in there? You know, just mix it up.
Host 2
You remember My theory about famous people don't die in big planes. It's only small planes. Yeah, look it up.
Host 1
Well, there's a lot of big plane disasters.
Host 2
If you're on a plane and it's going through turbine, if you have somebody famous on it, you're fine. Yeah. If you're on a small plane and somebody's famous, you might be.
Lou Diamond Phillips
We. It's so funny. We were. When we were doing Young Guns and they. There was a big, you know, party that Fox was throwing and they wanted to sort of introduce it and. And we were filming, and it was on a day where myself, Kiefer and Dermot were not, you know, a part of the filming that day. So they put us on a. On a Learjet, right. And, you know, we're flying us from Santa Fe to la. And it was the first time I was ever on a small plane. So all of a sudden, ooh, you know, I'm something. And Scotch was involved and we. We hit some turbulence. It must have dropped a thousand feet or something. Yeah, it was. And Kiefer kind of rolled his eyes and, you know, in his best, you know, lost boy's face, looked at me and went,
Host 1
That's eerie.
Host 2
Well, it's funny. You. You've. You've made 50 movies. 60 movies.
Lou Diamond Phillips
170.
Host 2
170. I said 50 plus 60 and then add 30. Yeah.
Host 1
You didn't.
Host 2
Let me finish the math, Lou. Let me finish.
Lou Diamond Phillips
Well, Stand and Deliver has, you know, pre, you know, condition to, you know, do the math. Do the math.
Host 2
But you've also made some of my favorite television.
Lou Diamond Phillips
Yeah. Now that's 170 all in, you know, TV and the films and everything else.
Host 2
I was going to add the TV after you didn't let me finish, but
Host 1
Longmire let the guy show his work. It's just how he operates.
Host 2
Longmire, for me, it was one of the first television shows that really tackled the west, like that cowboy, you know, the American Indian and how they live together now, contemporary type thing. I mean, before Yellowstone, before all this stuff, now it's the hottest thing ever. And that show for me was like. I couldn't believe how edgy it was. The, you know, the. Just the way they took care of justice and your role and that. It was good. It was like, when you came back, you came to tv, it was like, you're a movie all of a sudden. I saw you on tv, I was like, oh, my God. And you're so good in that.
Lou Diamond Phillips
Well, thank you, man.
Host 2
Yeah, it was such a great Show.
Lou Diamond Phillips
It is a beautiful day at the Red Pony in continual soiree.
Host 2
He was the bar. He owned the bar. The Red Pony.
Lou Diamond Phillips
Yeah.
Host 2
And. But it was the first. I mean, that was probably one of the first shows. Now every show kind of has this Montana, Wyoming.
Lou Diamond Phillips
It's so. I feel like I'm ahead of the curve so many times. You know, I mean, it's. The Wolf Lake was, you know, preceded all the Twilight stuff and, you know, it got pulled after nine episod. Nobody was. Well, it was 2001, so nobody was ready for a, you know, a werewolf, you know, drama. You know, the big hit, you know, was like, you know, Chinese Hong Kong action before, you know, Crouching Tiger. Plus it was like, you know, Hong Kong action plus hip hop, plus, you know, just this weird hybrid. Nobody was quite ready for that. And I. And I do think that, you know, we teed up the success of, you
Host 2
know, Yellowstone, Justified, Justified, Justified, Yellowstone.
Lou Diamond Phillips
All these shows kind of out of the gate first, right?
Host 2
With, like, kind of authentic. It was very authentic is what it was. A lot of that stuff is kind of procedural, and it gets a little. But that show, to me, was very authentic and very. You know, it wasn't the acting. It. It was the best. That's what I love when they get great actors on TV to do shows, is when it hits for me, you know, sometimes, like, I was just watching, like, Madison, it's just like, oh, my God. And then he has the other show, Marshalls, and it's like, it's a little procedural.
Lou Diamond Phillips
This is what I've heard.
Host 2
Yeah.
Lou Diamond Phillips
Yeah. I have not looked at the whole milieu.
Host 2
A lot of. A lot of face action.
Lou Diamond Phillips
Yeah.
Host 2
You know, a lot of. I'm sad now.
Lou Diamond Phillips
Oh, yeah.
Host 2
I'm mad now.
Lou Diamond Phillips
I always. It's. It's like whenever I've taught acting, whatever I said, you know, you really don't have to act thinking.
Host 2
You know, you don't have.
Lou Diamond Phillips
You don't have to put on I'm thinking face. You know, it's like just. Just think. Think something. It'll look. You know, it'll look like you're thinking, thank you.
Host 2
I needed that.
Host 1
Oh, yeah. That really is the. What do you do when you're not. When someone's talking, you go, do I just nod the whole time?
Host 2
Yeah. Oh, it's the worst when the camera's on them and they have one on you and you just have to listen. Am I. Am I listen? That's the hardest.
Lou Diamond Phillips
It was one of. That's one of the best compliments I ever got was from Soderbergh.
Host 2
Oh, really?
Lou Diamond Phillips
Yeah. I was in Che with Benicio. And, you know, he. And he legendarily only does a couple of takes, you know, and that's. And. And all. You know, if you're an insecure actor like me, you're like, I think I could be better.
Host 1
You prefer more takes?
Lou Diamond Phillips
No, I just, you know, two is, you know, a little on the shy side.
Host 2
I actually filmed a movie with him where he shot on an iPhone.
Lou Diamond Phillips
Yeah.
Host 2
And I. And he had the iPhone. He goes, okay, go. Action. And then he did. And he goes, got it. And I was like, I didn't know he was doing it on an iPhone.
Lou Diamond Phillips
Yeah. I thought he was just lining up the shot.
Host 2
Nobody told me it was an iPhone movie. I was like, what are we doing? I don't understand. I was just dancing.
Lou Diamond Phillips
That's crazy. But no, he told me after. He goes, no, no, it's great. You listen really well. I went, oh, that's great. Thank you.
Host 1
Yeah, it is a good, high compliment.
Host 2
Oh, it's so hard to listen to somebody and. And actually listen because there's so much stuff around it.
Host 1
I think I have a permanent raised eyebrow. They tell me when I get my eyebrows done, whenever I've had to listen on camera, I go, yeah, I raise the eyebrow. And my one eyebrow is permanently higher than my other. I think from raising eyebrow to listen, that's how few lines I. It's how few lines I've had in acting roles is that most of it's just going, I'll do that.
Host 2
I said, mmm. You also were in Prodigal Son, which was such an interesting show.
Lou Diamond Phillips
Yeah, I love that show. I love that cast. It's why I live in New York now.
Host 2
Right.
Lou Diamond Phillips
You know, I came out here in 19 to do that, and great timing. Right. I feel like, you know, I ran the gauntlet and now I am a New Yorker because I made it through the pandemic, man. I was there at seven o', clock, beating my pots out the window. I was doing all that stuff.
Host 1
But what a strange change. I said I lived in the East Village at the time, and I said that was the crazy. Going out on a Saturday night and just seeing, like, a piece of newspaper flying in the street. It was like, what was the I Am legend? It so creepy.
Host 2
We're both standups and we. They were still doing shows, but behind plexiglass.
Lou Diamond Phillips
Wow.
Host 2
So you can actually see you doing the set, which was the most. I'm like, I suck. Scratches suck.
Host 1
Someone came up and fogs the. Fogs it up and wrote. Stop.
Host 2
It's. But in most of your films, you've been the good guy. You're always. You're such a. I would say good with bad in you if you need it.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
Right?
Lou Diamond Phillips
Yeah. Are you talking about me personally or.
Host 2
I'm talking about you personally.
Lou Diamond Phillips
Lou.
Host 2
I've heard things about.
Host 1
You were bad with.
Host 2
Since you moved to New York.
Lou Diamond Phillips
Yeah, with good.
Host 2
Yeah.
Host 1
But there was good. Had to be.
Lou Diamond Phillips
Yeah, well, you know, I, I, I got, I got edgier, you know, all of a sudden I got gritty. I'm not, I'm not all Hollywood precious anymore, but. Yeah, no, in Casa Grande, I'm the, I'm the big bad.
Host 2
Yeah, you're just fine. You're a bad guy in this.
Lou Diamond Phillips
Yeah, he's. I'm a bad guy.
Host 2
Yeah, but you're a bad guy. That. The worst type of bad guy. Because you come off as nice.
Lou Diamond Phillips
Exactly.
Host 2
You're a very charming and very nice. And you, you know, almost like you could be friends with anybody.
Lou Diamond Phillips
Right. And I dress like I should be on a yacht or, you know, ski lodge.
Host 2
Yeah, you're very fancy. You got money and then. But you're a real. You're a bad guy.
Lou Diamond Phillips
There's that, there's. You'll be happy to know, though, I mean, there were a couple of physical scenes, right? And at my age now, I really. I should have stretched. I should have warmed up, you know, but, yeah, I got, you know, I beat the crap out somebody and like, the next day I'm going, why am I so goddamn sore? My knees out of whack, my hips, my lower back. It's, you know, the karma was instant.
Host 2
Do you do you your own stunts? Did you do your own stunts and like young bugs. Did you ride the horse and.
Lou Diamond Phillips
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I got the, I got, I got the crap kicked out of me a lot back in the day. I, you know, I've broken bones on, you know, shows and got scars and whatnot. And, you know, even today I still do some stuff and I really should just go, you know what? Let's just let the stunt guys do it. You know, Tom Cruise. I'm not. I promise you.
Host 1
It's got to be interesting. We were saying outside, like, you're, I mean, since LA bomb. I mean, like, your work is so consistent and you keep going that, like, aging through that and like everything's on film. And seeing it, do you feel like, like the years where it was, like things went from, like these kind of Roles to these kind of roles. Like, is there. Was it or was it slow rolled out?
Lou Diamond Phillips
It was kind of a slow roll. You know what I mean? It's. It's. You know, I'm the young leading man, and, you know, I sometimes get the girl. Although I noticed, you know, like, early on, it's like I almost never got the girl. I've never been in a rom com. They'd rather put me in the desert with a horse than a Leo face paint.
Host 2
You know, I feel better. They'd rather just put us in the
Lou Diamond Phillips
desert, you know, and if I do have a girl, I'm gonna die, you know, they're gonna kill me, you know, so. But it's interesting because then, you know, I go from being the young rebel to suddenly now I'm an authority figure, you know, played a cops and whatnot. And. And. And then, you know, dads and dad figures and stuff like that. So it was this, you know, sort of slow evolution. But I'm thrilled. I mean, it was like, you know, to still be kind of a virile bad guy in this. And I'm a good guy. In a movie called. It's called Keep Quiet, but it. It's gonna be changed to gangland. It's basically Training day on the rez. I play a res cop, and that's coming out in July in theaters as well. The chair company, I'm the Boss with Tim Robinson.
Host 2
Y.
Lou Diamond Phillips
This is announced so I can talk about it. I'm currently shooting a miniseries with Shailene Woodley and Lindsay Lohan, Kit Harrington, Katherine Lanasa, and I get to be the boyfriend.
Host 1
Nice.
Host 2
Yeah.
Lou Diamond Phillips
I'm a love interest. I'm still. I'm still a retired cop, but, you know, I. I get to smooch a little bit.
Host 1
How old is she with Shailene Woodley? Because I'll be honest with you. She says she uses natural deodorant.
Lou Diamond Phillips
It's not. It's not with Shailene. It's with the woman playing her mother.
Host 2
Okay, so you get to make out with.
Lou Diamond Phillips
With Catherine Lanasa. She's lovely.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
She's pretty.
Host 1
Yeah.
Lou Diamond Phillips
She just won the Emmy last year for the pit.
Host 2
Is this something that brings you, like, draws you to these, like, you know, this type of western type of movie? Are you. Because I always pictured you that you had, like, some ranch somewhere and you had like a, you know, like a Henry repeater and you went out and.
Lou Diamond Phillips
Yeah, now my wife shot back. This is one of my wife's.
Host 1
Anything you've seen in a movie this
Lou Diamond Phillips
is one of my wife's biggest pet peeves.
Host 2
She goes, hey, everybody thinks you wear boots and wear flannel, you know, and ride a horse or have a motorcycle.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
No.
Host 2
You read Shakespeare, you owned a restaurant, you cooked. Did you marry Joan Rivers?
Lou Diamond Phillips
For a minute.
Host 2
So you don't do any of it?
Lou Diamond Phillips
No, man. It's all image. What do you say?
Host 1
You live in New York now, you're a New Yorker.
Lou Diamond Phillips
I'm a New Yorker.
Host 2
You could have two houses. He made 170 movies, right?
Host 1
Nobody moves to New York for Covid if they have a ranch. Also.
Host 2
That's not true.
Lou Diamond Phillips
But I did grow up in Texas.
Host 2
That is true.
Lou Diamond Phillips
So I did grow up in Texas. So, I mean, there is that, and that's obviously a part of my, I don't know, DNA, whatever, but I think, you know, things like, you know, Casa Grande or, you know, even some of the other stuff I've got coming out where I'm one of the leads. It's. Or even, you know, Longmire. It's this sort of, you know, morality tale. I mean, you know, Westerns, even if they're contemporary, you know, our fables, they are, you know, and. And science fiction is, you know, a western with hardware for the most part. And. And it's, you know, these are. These are stories that allow us to. To examine the human condition and, you know, questions of honor and dignity and, you know, loyalty and all of this other stuff. And, you know, that's. That's very much what, you know, Casa Grande is like. It's. It's got the Yellowstone DNA as well, in the respect that it. It's about family, it's about the land. It's about, you know, the haves and the have nots. And my character is probably such a bastard because he had to, you know, scrape and claw his way to the top, and now nobody's going to take anything from him, you know, and. And so there's something there to. To reflect upon. And I, you know, I. I don't think I've ever played a guy who was just 100 evil. Something that. Other than, like, Richard Ramirez, but, you know. Yeah, I mean, there's that.
Host 2
I mean, that guy was trouble, that guy.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
He was.
Host 2
Are you talking about the nice.
Lou Diamond Phillips
Really Trouble?
Host 2
Yeah, the nice.
Host 1
Understand that guy?
Lou Diamond Phillips
Yeah, I did that movie. And even. Even when I'm, you know, like, reading the book and playing the role, you know, he's like the be. Butthead of serial killers. He really is, you know, but he did.
Host 2
He have. He had the look, though. Of serial killer.
Lou Diamond Phillips
Yeah.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
Yeah.
Host 2
Like, Jeffrey Dahmer just looked like a regular guy.
Host 1
It was a hand. The pentagram.
Host 2
Right. Yeah. He had the. The look of. Oh, man. That's what a serial killer should look like.
Lou Diamond Phillips
Yeah.
Host 2
How was it playing? That was. It was. Did you have to. You did all the research. You had to know stuff that maybe we don't know.
Lou Diamond Phillips
I went deep on that one. The first of all, the book, the Night Stalker by. Is it Phil Carlo or Philip Caputo? It's very good. It's. It's. It. You. You see, this guy was destined from, you know, age five to end up where he did maybe even, you know, in utero, because his mom worked in the Nocona boot factory in El Paso. So, you know, there might have been some, you know, toxic stuff going on there. And so the book was amazing. I got to, you know, watch, obviously, the videos and things like that. What's. What's also wonderful, though. That character, by the way, was. Was sort of the inspiration for Patrick Channing and the First Power. So for that movie, I rode around with Detective Bob Grogan, who helped catch this, the. The Hillside Strangler. And then for the Night Stalker, I got to hang out with Detective Gil Carrillo, who was one of the guys that, you know, caught. You know, caught Ramirez, and then interviewed him five times, you know, and. And he was there on the first day of, you know, shooting. And I was actually really proud because after I finished my first take, he went, oh, my God, you nailed it. You know, and I dropped a lot of weight because at the. At the end of his life, Ramirez, he died of lymphoma, you know, in. In prison. So this was. This is a fictionalized version of, you know, what. What went on. But one night I thought, okay, here's what I'm going to do, because he used to just, like, you know, roam neighborhoods that he didn't, you know, didn't know about. Right. And he would just randomly pick the houses, and they were. They were so trying to figure out, you know, his victimology. Why did he pick who he picked? It was all just, you know, you know, whatever the whim caught. So I thought, okay, I'm gonna do that. I'm gonna walk around a neighborhood that, you know, that I don't, you know, belong in, you know, as we know,
Host 1
we're live on air.
Host 2
Yeah.
Host 1
Before you tell that you killed a
Host 2
family, dude, these are Camerons right here.
Lou Diamond Phillips
Oh, okay. All right, cool.
Host 2
Yeah.
Lou Diamond Phillips
Just.
Host 2
I don't know.
Lou Diamond Phillips
This is probably happy handing.
Host 2
It does Happy handy Okay, great.
Lou Diamond Phillips
So I put the, you know, a hoodie on and I think, okay, I'm just gonna, you know, kind of, you know, method it, you know, walk, you know, so I drive, I park, I walk about a block and a dude, you know, and I'm looking at the houses and a dude walking his dog walks past me and he goes, hey, Lou diamond,
Host 2
this isn't gonna work.
Host 1
When you play a role like that, do you have to find, especially because it's a real person again, is it. Do you have to find a sympathy for them?
Lou Diamond Phillips
Sympathy is the wrong word. It's. And I've said that, you know, I've taught acting a time or two. You know, you can't, you can't judge. You can't judge your characters if you're holding them at arm's length and, you know, trying to wink at the audience and go, hey, this isn't really me, right? Then, then you fail. You know, you have to at least while you're playing that role, embrace their worldview, commit to it, you know, commit to the bit and, you know, as much as possible, be that without, you know, people say, oh, was the wife scared when you came home? No, no, no, because I'm not a psychopath, you know, but I've often told, you know, young actors, it's like, listen, take. Take the word no out of your vocabulary because you as a human being have the capability of doing anything. You could sit on a mo a year and meditate and, you know, try, try and, you know, be your best self or whatever. Or under the right circumstances, you could kill somebody. You just have to, you know, you literally just have to put yourself in those shoes and figure out, under what circumstances would I be similar to this character?
Host 1
Yeah, how do you.
Host 2
My wife yells at me for buying stuff off Amazon. You don't need it. How do you.
Lou Diamond Phillips
That's it. That'll do it.
Host 2
Let me ask you a question. I'm sorry, go ahead.
Host 1
I was used the term method before. How do you feel about that? Like when people go, I just watched the thing on American History X and they were like, fire. Roosevelt wouldn't talk to or associate with any non white members of the crew. I think eventually they go after like a week of that, they had to come over and be like, hey, you're really making everybody uncomfortable. It's like, I know, I know you're trying to do your thing here, but like, it's just making the actual ethnic people here a little uncomfortable. And they're trying to like do your
Lou Diamond Phillips
hair and Stuff, you know, it's, you know, it's certainly something you studied in college and things like that, and people have made a whole career out of it. It's, you know, if that's, if that's what it takes. I mean, Daniel Day Lewis sort of famously said, I have to do it this way because I'm not that good. Which I thought was, wow, wow. Okay. But, you know, then, then it's, it's so funny because I can't remember the actor that he was, but when he was doing Lincoln.
Host 1
Daniel Day Lewis.
Lou Diamond Phillips
Yes. When Daniel Day Lewis was doing Lincoln, though, he was. He was another actor who was off camera and went and took off the, you know, the period shoes because they were uncomfortable and put on his tennis shoes. And Daniel's like, no, please, you know, you must go put those shoes back on, because it's taking me right out of the scene.
Host 2
Yeah, that would mess me up, too if I looked over and I saw a pair of New Balance.
Lou Diamond Phillips
Yeah, yeah.
Host 2
You know what I mean?
Host 1
We've said that. As time went on. I'm curious what some of such an accomplished actor yourself would say, the Christian Bale flip out. Do you remember that? Years ago?
Lou Diamond Phillips
Yeah.
Host 1
It's funny, as I've gotten perspective on that, I've been like, like, sure, he's going a little hot, but I mean, I don't know, man. Everyone's supposed to be doing their job here.
Lou Diamond Phillips
No, no. 100%. And I, you know, it's funny because you take that, that tape out of context. I think he had every right to say what he had to say. It was in the middle of a freaking take and the deep, expensive takes coming around and, you know, just, just doing it. But it was also a very intense and emotional take. And as an actor, man, it's, it's. You don't flip that stuff on and off like a light switch, you know? You know, you, you, you, you spend, you spend a long time and, and you become very emotional place, you know, take after take and this and that. And it's, it's. It's not. Your body doesn't know you're acting when you, when you're crying tears, you're crying real tears, you know, and, and so, you know, if. If he is that deep into it, in the middle of these takes and doing the job, that's going to get him the kind of attention that he's gotten his entire career. Some dude does not need to be tweaking the lights in his eyeline.
Host 2
Yeah. Some guy with a Napoleon Dynamite Shirt on.
Host 1
This is trying to be post apocalyptic.
Host 2
Have you ever, like, you've done so many movies, done so many iconic movies and tv. Have you ever taken stuff. Do you have. Do you. Have you ever had, like. Do you have stuff that you.
Lou Diamond Phillips
Oh, yeah, yeah. No, I don't. I don't have as much anymore. And most recently, I gave that green guitar from Lavamba.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
Oh, really?
Lou Diamond Phillips
I had it for 37 years, and I just donated it two years ago to the. The Academy Museum in Los Angeles.
Host 2
So it's theirs now.
Lou Diamond Phillips
It's theirs. Yeah, yeah, I gave it to them and they're going to display it. And there's a wonderful, you know, coffee table book coming out about the donations. And I wrote a little blurb about the guitar itself and whatnot. And, you know, I'm proud that it's going to be, you know, a part of A part of cinema history, as it should be.
Host 2
Do you have any stuff from Young Guns?
Lou Diamond Phillips
I had. Oh, you know what? I still have.
Host 2
What?
Lou Diamond Phillips
I have the full costume of when I got shot up at the end of the first. Really? Blood stains and all. Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah, I got that in plastic somewhere.
Host 2
Isn't it funny, though? You have it. You're like, I'm gonna keep this. And it's just in a closet. And it keeps moving places over the years.
Host 1
That movie, those movies, both of them, especially for my age. I'm 48 now. Like, that precedes even, like, Tombstone is just like something that made, like, Westerns cool. Cause the westerns to me were growing up like, my grandfather liked, like, John Wayne movies, but I would see those on the TV and be like, they didn't catch me.
Host 2
I still love them.
Host 1
Everything about.
Host 2
I love them. I know I just watched one last
Host 1
week, but, like, those. Something about, you know, even, like, says, why it's hard to watch black and white when you're a kid in, like, the color world. It's like someone's just throwing you off about it. And I just never caught. And those were the first where you're like, oh, it's a cool. You know, which was said precedes like Tombstone, Deadwoods, all these, like, cool, like, western with young people doing like.
Host 2
Well, it's true too, is that movie had the music. Music, you know, like most of the John Wayne thing, it was like, you know, the. The opening credits were long. You have to have patience to watch those old westerns.
Lou Diamond Phillips
And the acting, it just goes on forever. I mean, they make it.
Host 2
Yeah, it was a crazy.
Lou Diamond Phillips
They make it from St. Louis, all the way to the great Nevada in
Host 2
real time right there.
Lou Diamond Phillips
Yeah. But, you know, I. Once again, you know, something that was ahead of his time. The Western was dead, according to Hollywood. And then Young Guns comes along and, you know, and makes money. And, you know, I really do think opens the door for some of those that came after. Including Unforgiveness Given, you know, which is brilliant.
Host 1
It's such a movie where it's like sometimes they don't realize how much the cast is part of it. Especially in hindsight with these. When they've remade. I always use the examples. Point Break Flatliners are two movies where it's like, I don't know if it's the most amazing scripts. It's like you have these cast that brought it to life in, like, the right way. So you can't just put any actors in there and remake it. I think that was such a strange move when they did that, like, oh, successful movie. We'll remake it with no one's anyone's ever heard of before.
Host 2
Were you part of that? You know, they had the Brat Pack. Were you part of that?
Lou Diamond Phillips
Yeah, I was Brat Pack adjacent. You know, the only brown Brat Packer.
Host 2
Right.
Lou Diamond Phillips
You know, and you're the Sammy Davis. That's exactly right, babe. You know, I was a. I was a cool cat on the fringes. But, yeah, man, it was. It was, you know, because I hung out with all those cats.
Host 2
You know, you were partying like them. Were you, like, crazy like that back then?
Lou Diamond Phillips
No, no. I came to realize, especially after you hear, you know, stuff. You know, some of the stuff that Charlie did. And then, you know, like, the Diddy parties and they go, man, I was the most boring guy in Hollywood. I was.
Host 2
Thank God.
Host 1
That's good, though.
Lou Diamond Phillips
I'm still here.
Host 2
Yeah, thank God.
Host 1
I fancy myself the same way. We just gotta walk through the rain, like, just too naive to even get involved in it. Yeah. Like, I just wasn't around the things that were happening. Like, everyone's doing coke. Like, where did I leave? Did I leave early? I guess. No, I guess I'll never try it then.
Host 2
You do leave early.
Lou Diamond Phillips
It's the Irish Goodbye.
Host 2
Yeah, he's just there for an hour. He takes a bite of a food and he's out. So this new. This new movie.
Lou Diamond Phillips
Yeah.
Host 2
Lou Diamond Phillips new movie, Casa Grande, is in theaters on May. How does it feel to be in theaters, dude?
Lou Diamond Phillips
It's wonderful.
Host 2
Right? Because it's hard. I mean, I love going to the movies. I love going to the theater. And, and it's, you know, it's, it seems like good movies are hard to find. It's all like weird stuff. Like I saw the trailer for this as I can't wait to go see it.
Lou Diamond Phillips
Yeah. So this one's fantastic. I, I do have to say though, they keep saying it's Lou Diamond Phillips new film is, you know, I'm, I'm the, you know, it's, it's, I'm not the lead. This, this all came about because, you know, everybody else in the cast was in this series and they, they gave him a fabulous send off. You know, they wrapped it all up in a nice little bow and then, you know, I came in to help out.
Host 2
So. It's so humble.
Lou Diamond Phillips
It's, but it's, you know what I'm saying? You know, do you go, do you
Host 1
go watch with the audience ever still?
Lou Diamond Phillips
Yes. I missed the premiere of this one. I was just at the Dallas International Film Festival and finally got to see another movie. Like I said, keep quiet. Slash g with an audience and people, they loved it. And those reviews have been unreal. But yeah, to have this one and then that one, you know, coming out in theaters in July, it's, it's quite an accomplishment. You know, if you don't have a $200 million budget and you know, a cape.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
Yeah.
Lou Diamond Phillips
You know, you're not, you're not getting
Host 1
in a thousand streaming services that scoop things up now too.
Lou Diamond Phillips
So there's that. I mean, at least there's, you know, it will find its audience eventually and you know, it'll end up being on, you know, multiple platforms.
Host 2
I think it's a perfect movie. It's what people are into on TV and it's good to actually see a mov with, you know, this type of tackling, this type of topic and, and you're a bad guy and it's my favorite type of bad guy. Just a smiling, evil dude with, you know, with, with a purpose.
Lou Diamond Phillips
You know, seems all charming and classy at first, you know, but you know, the mask comes off eventually.
Host 2
Yeah, it's great, man. And you look fantastic.
Lou Diamond Phillips
Why thank you. Can I moisturize?
Host 2
Oh, yeah.

Host 2

Lou Diamond Phillips
Yeah.
Host 2
If things don't work out no.
Lou Diamond Phillips
You know, it's funny though, man, because we were talking about the stages of your career and it's like, oh, I had a crush, you know, so now I get the middle aged woman saying, oh, I have a crush on you. But I also get, you know, the, the younger people going, my mother loves you.
Host 2
Oh, it's the worst.
Lou Diamond Phillips
You girls in high school refer to young guns as young buns. Well, yes, indeed. As well they should.
Host 1

Host 2

Host 1
You guys are bonding.

Young Blood, I'll slide you $20 later. That was a good talk.
Host 2
Just slag me, dude.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
I like it.
Host 2
Dude, I gotta tell you first, first of all, I have been a fan for so long, I wanted you on the show for so long. I know it's weird for a 50 year old man with a gray beard to be talking to you like this.
Host 1
55.
Host 2
55. All right, dude.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
Stabbed. You know, right back down it. Wow.
Host 1
Why did you lie to him?
Host 2
Because it's Young Blood.
Host 1
He's not casting you in a porn movie.
Host 2
Yeah, Young is in the name, bro. All right. If he looked out in the crowd and saw me there, he'd be like, what's this guy doing?
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
You know what? Actually, yeah, it's been beautiful to see like cross generational people coming in the gigs at a minute, you know what I mean? I think like Young Blood, I think initially at first people. Oh, I can't go to that because it's got Young in the name. But like now it's like we've got the old Bloods, we've got the baby Bloods, we've got the Granny Bloods, we've got everything, man.
Host 2
Do you have the diabetes bloods? They all show up.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
Little bit of diabetes blood. Loads of blood types. Loads of it, man. Every blood type. Welcome.
Host 1
Did you see a particular flip in that happening with something? Because again, being young and your name's Youngblood Old. Especially like metalheads and rock guys are gonna disregard Young right away. So have him cross over. Do you think there was A moment like a. Like somebody where there was somebody endorsing you.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
Yeah. It's funny in it because when you make a name like my name's Dominic Addison, I couldn't fucking call myself that because it's too polite.
Host 2
I think it's great.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
You know what I mean? So I was like. So I was like. When you. I was like 18 and I started this thing, I didn't expect for it to get big, so you just kind of like, yeah, that'll do. Like Young Blood. Like, whatever. And I love. You know what? I. I grew up in a guitar shop and I love playing rock music, but I wanted people to be like, is that a fucking rapper or whatever? I mean, I kind of wanted to. I think, like, in my fucking mic's crackling. Here, let me just. There we go.
Lou Diamond Phillips
There we go.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
I got sorted it. Dodgy cable. I was like, you know, I mean, I thought. I thought to myself, I want to fuck with people a little bit and, you know, I mean, double the. You double the flavor, right? But then I think people. As it started to get bigger, a lot of people were like, oh, I don't think I can like this, because the name's Youngblood. And I was. I was thinking to myself, when I hit, like, 24, how am I going to do this thing forever?
Lou Diamond Phillips
Yeah.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
So I thought I might have to do like a David Bowie, Ziggy Stardust thing and end that chapter, right? But then we started our own festival. And I think I was like, I want to see what it was coming to the gigs, you know, I mean, I want to see everyone in front of me and. And we start a blood fest, our own festival. And I saw. I saw mothers, brothers, families, cousins, granny, everyone. It kind of became.
Host 2
You crossed over, too, because you started out with Machine Gun Kelly is where I first saw.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
Oh, really?
Host 2
Yeah. But I knew right when. Right when they popped on to you. I'm like, this kid's got it. That one line and that. It was just like, this kid's got it. It almost. Almost reminded me of, like, you know, like a lead. A lead front man. Like, I feel like. I feel like we don't have. We were talking about this the other day, like, rock and roll. The front man.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
I love that vibe, man, that I grew up on Jaguar and I grew up on Iggy, and I grew up on Freddie Mercury and I grew up on those guys, you know, And I think. I think really, I'm kind of torn trying to fight for that level of theater and performance in rock music, you Know, I think. I think kind of lost.
Host 1
It's lost a lot.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
After new metal, everyone kind of put their head down and started looking at the shoes.
Host 1
Yeah.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
And I'm like, nah, man, I'm gonna put me chaps on and shake me ass.
Host 1
But that takes. But it's funny. That takes something because it takes. Because the first time you do it, like, it's interesting is me and Bobby are both comedians, so it's almost like the idea is to be played down more a little bit and kind of kind of like. Like take a on theatrical kind of things. But if me and him both love concerts and you go to concerts, I want to see the front, man. Yeah, you want to posturing and doing all the things. But is it a thing when you start doing. Is there a first? Like, is everyone gonna buy this when I turn around and do us like a. A scantily clad dance?
Host 2
I think.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
I think that my own gigs, people like it, you know, I mean, the more asked better, right? I mean, and more I say that, the peacocking and all that, you know,
Host 2
I mean, the more that's actually my
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
merch, the more ass the better.
Host 2
Yeah, good man.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
Man, I like that.
Host 2
Can I ask you a question?
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
Yeah, you can ask me.
Host 2
How does it feel to be able to wear leather pants and a skirt and look good in both?
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
They survive. I like, it just depends on the day, doesn't it?
Host 2
I mean, dude, you. I've always. My life, my whole life I've wanted to wear leather pants, but I've been fluctuating in weight so much, I would just look like a. Just a real cow.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
Can I tell you? Yeah, I'll tell you what. Crazy. Basically, me leather pants that I wear now are actually Biggie Pops original Chromarts levers, right? And it is. So my girlfriend's father started a clothing company with a mother in the 80s called Chromarts. And I remember looking at these pants and it was size 28 waist. And I loved the lager, you know what I mean? I drink a lot of beer. So at the time I was a bit bigger than I am now. I had tits and everything. You know what I mean? Because I was drinking a lot.
Host 2
You lost a little weight. I'm gonna tell you, you gained a little during the pandemic with your food show.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
Yeah, that's what I' saying.
Host 2
I was like, yes, it was in.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
In the pandemic, you know, I mean, I was literally in like Dave's Hot Chicken Raising Canes.
Host 1
And like, I like, you're really showing him, though, that you were a fan. I remember the. The. When I heard about you the first time, you still had longer hair. And was Bobby showing me. He's like, you got to check out this guy in this Machine Gun Kelly video. And I. I didn't even get to drink the song in at first because just the bright colors and a. A. A pile of women while you guys are on top of a car, like sing. I'm like, what caught you about this?
Host 2
I'm young blood at heart
Host 1
Notice we spent a lot of time in cars alone. So behind closed.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
Dogging the.
Host 1
Behind closed doors Singing along. It can go get weird sometimes.
Host 2
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I think it was cool too. Because you always see an artist you like. And you did come up in that little alternative punk stuff.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
You.
Host 2
Yeah, but then your evolution when you. When you hooked up with Ozzy, I mean, I think.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
I think that was. It was always kind of. I think when I look back on it, it's. It's been such a crazy journey because I. My old man had a guitar shop, so I grew up in a. In a northern guitar shop. So I grew up on bands like Zeppelin, acdc, T. Rex, you know. I mean, that's what I. I grew up on. And then you kind of. It 6, 16, 17, 18. And you start getting into the punk stuff and you start getting into all that. And I think always a constant in my life was. Was Ozzy, you know, and Sabbath, I think. I think there's such a staple of British rock music, you know. I mean, they. They kind of invented it, really. You know what I mean? In terms of. In terms of. I think an artist that started 16 different subcultures was. Was really Sabbath, you know, and the Beatles before that. But I loved kind of. I felt really lucky because I think kind of almost like when you're young, you write music that might pigeonhole you into, oh, pop punk and kind of juvenile stuff. You know what I mean? Which you do at 19. Cause you're just like singing about what you're feeling. But I always loved proper fucking rock and roll music. And I felt so lucky and blessed. Blessed that I got to kind of have someone put their arm around me like that and almost prepare me for the world I was about to enter. And prepare the world to be like, oh, rock music in its truest form. And in its fucking madness and in its leather and it's theater. It's gonna kind of rear its head again. And I felt really.
Host 2
I felt like it was like that when you went out and sang that song change. I mean, that's. If you fucked that up, you know, if you fuck that up, dude, it's a rap. Nah, you gotta go call Machine Gun Kelly up.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
I didn't.
Host 2
You know what I mean?
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
I didn't sleep a fucking wink the night before. Yeah, I was like. I was like. I remember we were in Birmingham, and I think kind of, I was obviously probably the only artist on a bill under 35. Under fucking 50, really, I think. And. And I was like. I just knew the next day and like, I. I knew that a lot of people were like, who the fuck's this kid?
Host 1
Oh, yeah, you're going to get the. Oh, here we go.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
And it's a metal crowd, you know, I mean, it's not like a fucking. I'm not walking out to a fucking radio, happy dappy fucking cheese show. I'm walking out to badass motherfuckers who have flown all over the world.
Host 2
Fan base is very supportive.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
Yeah. And that starts surviving, like, metal audience. But I think what really kind of kept me grounded was I just was like, forget everything. Say thank you to the boss. Say thank you to Ozzy. Sing it. And I remember the morning I was in the hotel, and I had me levers and a fucking vest or a black suit. And I was like, stood there like, which one? What do I wear? And I picked the black suit. And I think kind of when I put that on, I was like, oh, it kind of. It made. I wanted to. I wanted to feel respectful, you know? I mean, it was like that. It was there. It was. It was Sabbath's funeral, really. It was the last. Yeah, it was the last gig. So I was like, I'm gonna go there. But the rough thing about that is everyone's like, you know, I mean, before me, you've had, like, sweet leaf and nib and fucking like. And then it's like, all right, here's the fucking young spunker gonna come and sing a ballad. You know what I mean? Me and a piano. 50,000 metal fans, I think, like, James Hetfield and Robert Trullio are side stage going, all right, motherfucker, let's see what you got.
Host 1
It surprised me, even as young as you are, that you. That would keep you up the night before. Because, like, that's like. Do you push your voice, like, every time you sing or is like. Cause I feel like it's something like, if you sing it in, like, you're cute. You have, like, a great voice. Like, you could like, just do it. Like, it would be almost not Thought
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
that's a high fucking song, you know? I mean, people don't realize how high Ozzy Osbourne's voice is, you know. I mean, if you listen to, like, no More Tears or you listen to fucking high singing, it's so unique to it. Yeah, it's so unique. So you kind of, like, you've gotta go on and you've gotta. Got to really make it your own, no matter what. But I think we'd done the sound check the night before, and it was kind of like Sick as Fucks. Like, Frank Bellow from Amphorax is playing, like, Adam Wakeman's playing. I'm like, this is fucking cool as fucking, like, you know. I mean, every motherfucker that was on my wall as a kid, like, oh, there's Kirk Hammett. Oh, shit. That's. That's literally Billy Corgan. Oh. You know, I mean, I'm like, what the fuck? That's Jake Healy. And that's. That's crazy shit.
Host 1
Did anybody give you Cold Shoulder at all?
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
No.
Host 1
Everybody wants.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
It was actually the nicest. It's the most. The backstage with the least ego I've ever been at. And I'm like, how many records is here? There's like a billion records in this room. You know what I mean? And it was so amazing, I think, for the first time for six generations, seven generations of rock musicians to come together in the name of one them, you know, and the name of that band. And I think it's just cool when you see Geezer Bill, Tony and. And. And all Aussie, like, together at Villa park, which is their stadium. And after, like, 60 years of playing together, they finally got.
Host 2
Was that your first stadium?
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
That was the first stadium. But my. The hardest thing about that day was the reason why I didn't sleep winks. I was shitting myself because I had to play the gig at half three in the afternoon at the Aussie thing. Then I had to get on a jet and headline a festival in Belgium, right?
Host 1
Oh, Jesus.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
That night was like.
Host 1
That night.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
I was like. So I was, like, rattling in bed.
Host 2
Imagine the kid working at his dad's guitar shop saying that sentence, buddy, I was up. I had to jump on a Learjet and go to my own stadium. So we all got problems after performing for, you know, those old guys.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
I think that was what was the most beautiful thing about it really was like. I think if you could kind of, you know, a lot of people still don't get me or believe me or don't fucking think, you know. What I mean or don't want to believe it for various different reasons. But like, I think when you kind of the one thing that makes you calm, you shut your eyes and just go like, what the fuck, bruv? Like, if I was 8 years old getting told that I would get to go and sing this song for Ozzy right now. I think that moment I thought about all the lads bringing me up in the guitar shop and all that shit. That's kind of what allows you to not let the pressure to you. Because you know, I think you, you, if you. If you're grateful and you're real and you're thankful, how the can people hate that, buddy?
Host 2
If you told me when I was 54 that I'd be sitting in the studio at Youngblood at 55, I would
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
have thought
Host 2
my so grateful right now.
Host 1
If you had a time machine to go back and tell him, it's going to be okay.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
It's going to be all right, bro.
Host 2
It's. It's so funny. But like after you. I want to know, like. Because we all. We've had big gigs that, yeah, we've done arenas and stuff on these shows where it's like you're sitting backstage like if, you know, as a comic, if you bomb, they let you know quick.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
Oh yeah, fuck. You know.
Host 2
Yeah, it's just, you know, to say a joke. But at the end of that when you knew, you fucking nailed it. The place is going nuts. It's generations of rock and roll and you're there and then you with Ozzy and all that stuff. How did you. How like, how. How. What did you do? How much energy. Energy did you have after that?
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
I mean, I think I. The ending bit where everyone sang together.
Host 2
Yeah.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
Was not, was not planned, I think because I knew that Oz was getting there at 3:30. Yeah. And we were on it like 3:45. So I knew we'd just got there and I knew he was nervous because obviously he was in a chair, you know, I mean, he couldn't get up. So in my head I'm kind of on. And the first. First verse in chorus has gone well and I can see people literally starting like this. Everyone kind of being like, oh. And it was almost like a moment where I was like, I feel so grateful to him, him and Sharon, because they almost like gave me that David and Goliath moment. Because you can't. That song. No, you know, I mean, if it's like. If it's metal riffs and guitar and you stood next to J Ke Lee and you stood next to Chad Smith. And they're ripping the instruments. You can kind of hide underneath it. But with that, I had a piano. And so after I kind of got through the first verse and the first chorus, I was like, oh, people are. I think I'm getting. I think I'm getting to me. I'm getting me. And then, and then, then the solo went by and. And at the end I was like, all right, motherfuckers. Imma really fucking get you right now. Because in my head, I wanted oz to hear 55,000 people screaming. So much love. So he had not. He, like, I knew he was nervous. We had nothing to worry about. I knew it was all love. I knew it was all the vibe, which it was.
Host 2
I.
Lou Diamond Phillips
Anyway.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
But in my head I was like, I really want him to hear that and I really want to feel it. And I remember getting off stage and I don't. You don't know how it's gone, you know, I mean, because you're so in it. I'm like, look at me best mate. It was me manager. I'm like, was that all right? And he was like, bro, what the.
Host 2
How excited? Just got real big.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
I'm not.
Host 2
And then literally, like, the nightmare just. He's sharing.
Host 1
I was one doing this.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
Yeah, yeah, bro, the night.
Host 2
He's like this, yeah, in your head.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
Yeah, the nightmare, like, you're getting piss thrown at you. James Atfield sucker punches you on the way off stage.
Host 2
You know, I mean, your manager's not
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
there, me managers run off.
Host 1
That's what you should have done as
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
soon as you were finished, flayed at
Host 2
the top of talking to Tommy Lee.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)

Young Blood (Dominic Addison)

And I kid you not, we landed in Belgium. We went on stage at 10pm and I was like, full of beans. Yeah, like, full of. Full of spunk, man. Yeah, let's go. I was just like, what that, you know, I mean, I was like, got on and got on a jet, kept driving, drinking, landed at like 7, had some chicken or some. And then was like, that's what I
Host 2

Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
Yeah, man. You gotta do it, man. That's. That's the way I get away with me. Mrs. Always said she's like, gotta have a bit of tub on you, man. Like, know. I mean, like chocolate biscuits and pizza. Chips, fish and chips, lager tea. Shepherd's pie.
Host 2
What's up with the tea? Can we talk about the tea?
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
What's wrong? What's wrong with the tea?
Host 2

Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
Yeah, you fox up.

Yeah, all my favorite things is the British slang. Do you know British slang? Like, I'm going up the apples and pears.
Host 2
Yeah, I just. I just bought a book on it.
Host 1
I know some from when I work with Jim Jeffries. It was. He was giving me. Because he lived there for a while. It was calling your. Your girl, your bird. Yeah, Because I thought he was talking about his own dick to me. He goes, I can't wait for you to meet my bird. I go, I'm not fucking you, dud.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
I love that.
Host 1
Jim, I don't know what you think
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
this is, but there's all these, like, old cockney slangs where we rhyme everything. So up the apples and pears means stairs. Or if I say, let's have a butcher's, what do you think that means? Let's have a butcher's.
Host 2
Let's have some steak.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
No, no, we're near.

Host 1
Tea time.
Host 2
So now you got you.
Lou Diamond Phillips
You.
Host 2
You're at this next level of performing your. Your. It's kind of like on your shoulders, this. Because, you know, I came up with Aerosmith and, you know, the Motley Crue and, you know, all these lead singers. Pearl Jam. I had to say that for Lou, because that's his band.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
Love him on Eddie the There's Elite.
Host 2
You sang with him?
Lou Diamond Phillips
Yeah.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
Crazy.
Host 2
Oh, you sang with. You said.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
Yeah. That was amazing.
Host 2
Did he give a speech in the middle of a song?
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
Do you know what? No, he didn't. We were very. We were very quiet. Oh, yeah, we were. We just got the business done.
Host 2
Is he cool?
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
Legend.
Host 2
Legend.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
Absolute legend. The veds, man.
Host 2
That wasn't my question, though. Is he cool? Yeah, he's nice.
Lou Diamond Phillips
Yeah.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
Lovely.
Host 2
Who's. Who's been kind of shitty to you?
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
Who's been. You know what, man? It's never really rock. It's always. It's always, always like rappers.
Host 2
Yeah.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
I remember once.
Host 2
That's Black Lou laughing.
Host 1
You saw it coming.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
I remember I did it. I remember I did a music video for one of my mates and it was like. Like there's this. This guy called, like, rapper called Polo G. Didn't even look at me, really. And we're, like on set together, really. I mean, you kind of like, you stood next to each other, like, doing a fucking scene, and it's like, don't even look at you. I was like, ah, that's not cool.
Host 2
Did the song go anywhere?
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
No, dog.
Host 2
Oh, good.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
That's all right, man. In the rap days. But I was like, everyone in rock and roll. I think there's something about it where. I don't know, man. It's just like, good dudes, you know what I mean like every, when I like. You always shit yourself. You never want to meet your heroes. But every time I've met my heroes, everyone's been really nice.
Host 1
Well, you got it. I mean it is a little on your shoulders as Bobby said. And so way to like. I mean the lack of representation of rock music in Grammys MTV award, it's gone. When I was young, like you look for, I said the famous like the Marilyn Manson closing out the MTV awards with his ass cheeks. It was like. Yeah, all these like Metallica, all these moments and then they're gone.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
Yeah, it's pretty crazy, but I feel
Host 2
like, I feel like you're like. When I saw you do that changes, I was like, oh, he's, he's the next one. He's the guy who's gonna, is gonna be able to bring rock and roll back, be the lead singer, the clothes, the coolness, it's all on you. Me and Jay, we're depending on.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
I think it's, I think it's a real, it's, it's pretty crazy how a lot of people have said that, but I, I, I. In my head I'm still a 9 year old in the guitar shop who just loves this genre.
Host 2
Right.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
You know, that's, that's all I've got. You know, I mean I learned, I learned first songs, I learned, I'm say gonna guitar were like Trooper, Iron Maiden, Deep Purple, all that stuff, you know, it's kind of what I grew up with. And again I feel really lucky because I think in this day and age there's so much option to do so many different genres of music. You know, you try it and you try it but to, to kind of. I feel like I'm back in my dad's.
Host 1
Well, it's funny I always say it's the kind of the, the say what you will about Kid Rock. But like when I was young the effect of that was like someone who kept telling, telling you like it's what hit me about it. He was like, yeah, I'm rap. I've listened to country, heavy metal. Yeah. And like, you know, classic rock. And he was influenced by all that because there was a time where it was, especially when I was like a young kid when rap was like even coming out and getting big. Yeah, it was like you liked rap or you liked raw, you know, and they almost didn't cross over at all. So you just wouldn't even give the other genre a chance. Why almost no one in up north listened to country music because you're like, why am I even giving a chance? It's not my music.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
Yeah, yeah.
Host 1
When there's great stuff around.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
So segregated. And I think. I think what's. What is exciting about rock music in a minute is, I think, like, it's. It's like, spherical. Like, Amal and the Sniffers are doing sick shit in punk music, and Turnstile are great and hardcore and. But for me, what I really wanted to do is I loved theater and I love fucking. I loved estrogen in frontman Scott Weiland and fucking Jagger shaking the hips. You know what I mean? And I think, like, that kind of got beaten out of us in, like, the 90s, you know what I mean? It was all about, like, where the fuck did the hips go? The hips got fucking, you know, I mean, broken, didn't it?
Host 2
Like looking at two guys with no hips.
Host 1
No, but you're all right. He's even like, a band like Turnstile. Who are. They're great. I just watched their Coachella set, and they were fantastic. But it is. It's just guys. It's like, there's a. There's nothing like, where you're like, oh, this guy just knocked loose.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
Yeah, not loose. I love knock loose.
Host 1
Great. Like, bam. But it's like. It's just for, like. There's not, like a front man energy to that.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
Yeah, I love. I love. That's the. That's the thing for me, what I. In my head, rock lost the role.
Host 2
Oh, wow.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
That's what I think. And it's not a bad thing. I don't give a. I love all types of rock music. I love metal, I love new metal. I love hardcore, I love punk, I love glam. I love it all. But to me, when I make, like, people question me because. Because I want to put the role into it. So that's not rock music. I'm like, to me, the Rolling Stones are rock music. To me, Little Richard is rock music. Like, Freddie Mercury is rock music, you know? I mean, I think, like, that's why. That's what I listen to. I listen. That's what I listen to the most.
Host 2
You want to go see a front man do his thing and be crazy and come out in something nuts. That's what you want. You want.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
And I enjoyed. I enjoy pissing people off.
Host 2
Yeah.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
So I think that's why I'm all right with it. I don't give a fuck if you hate me. I mean, I'm inspiring some kind of. Of emotion, you know?
Host 1
I mean, also, you're. You're also, you're you know, it's Young Blood is the act. So when they come to see you, the. The whole show falls on you. It's not like your Guns and Roses. So everyone's like, yeah, that's Slash. Like, it's like you. You have to do. You have to, like, make them.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
And that's why I keep your eyes on you.
Host 1
Performance.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
Performance is my favorite thing. Like, if you have a issue with me, you don't believe me, or you don't think I'm worth my soul, come watch me. I'll blow you fucking away, I swear.
Host 2
Yeah, you do.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
I mean, that's the vibe. If, like, there's anyone out there who thinks I'm a cheeky little cunt, I am.
Host 2
Are you gonna. I know you're gonna wrap it up. We gotta get you another show, but are you gonna do. Because you have such a cool look. You're so badass and you're such. Are you gonna do any acting? Is there any acting? Because I know you did acting.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
I keep. I get. I got asked a couple times. I went to him. I went with me mate to a fucking Oscars party in. In la. And everyone's like, you gotta be in a movie drunk. I. I remember I kept taking people's number. I never saved anyone's name. So I'm like, what? I'm like. It's like, hello, it's this. You got to be in this movie. So I have no idea.
Host 2
It's got a number. It's just Guy Ritchie's number.
Host 1
Literally, it just comes through a Texas no number.
Young Blood (Dominic Addison)
He's. Hello, who is this? It's Tim. Tim. Oh, Tim Burton. I'll be like, that's sick.

Episode: Yungblud & Lou Diamond Phillips
Date: May 7, 2026
Guests: Lou Diamond Phillips, Yungblud (Dominic Addison)
This lively episode of The Bonfire brings together two dynamic guests—veteran actor Lou Diamond Phillips and genre-blurring rock star Yungblud (Dominic Addison)—for candid, humorous, and insightful conversations with hosts Big Jay Oakerson and Robert Kelly. The episode spans Phillips’s legendary career in movies and TV, the nuances of playing villainous versus heroic roles, reflections on the evolution of the Western genre, and the state of modern rock as embodied by Yungblud, whose raw energy and commitment to showmanship harken back to the era of iconic frontmen. The tone is playful but sincere, packed with anecdotes, showbiz wisdom, and mutual admiration.
“When I portrayed Richie, his face wasn't as well known. And what I love about it is that I think it prompted a lot of people to go back…and…Richie's legacy back…he was no longer just an asterisk in…Buddy Holly's story.” (01:17)
Longmire’s Place in TV & Western Revivals
“It was one of the first television shows that really tackled the west…before Yellowstone, before all this stuff…” (04:46)

Moral Complexity in Western Roles
“Westerns…are fables…Stories that allow us to examine the human condition, and…questions of honor and dignity and loyalty…That’s very much what Casa Grande is like…it’s about family, it’s about the land, it’s about…the haves and have nots.” (14:21)
“It was kind of a slow roll…from being the young rebel to…now I'm an authority figure…then dads…Now I'm a virile bad guy in this…” (11:43)
“I’m currently shooting a miniseries with Shailene Woodley and Lindsay Lohan, Kit Harrington, Katherine Lanasa, and I get to be the boyfriend.” (12:53)
“You can’t judge your characters…if you’re holding them at arm’s length…you have to…embrace their worldview, commit to it, you know, commit to the bit…” (18:25)
“…Daniel Day Lewis famously said, ‘I have to do it this way because I’m not that good,’ which I thought was…Wow.” (20:04)
“Most recently, I gave that green guitar from LaBamba…I had it for 37 years…and I just donated it…to the Academy Museum.” (22:18)
“Yeah, I was Brat Pack adjacent…The only brown Brat Packer. You know, and you’re the Sammy Davis.” (24:42)
“It’s been beautiful to see cross generational people…we’ve got the old Bloods, we’ve got the baby Bloods, we’ve got the Granny Bloods…” (36:51)
“I was 18 and I started this thing, I didn’t expect for it to get big…You just kind of like, yeah, that’ll do. Like Young Blood. Like, whatever. And…when I hit 24, how am I going to do this thing forever?” (37:32)
Rock’s Lost Showmanship
“I’m kind of trying to fight for that level of theater and performance in rock music…I think it kind of lost after new metal…everyone kind of put their head down and started looking at their shoes. And I’m like, nah, man, I’m gonna put me chaps on and shake me ass.” (39:15)
“If you have an issue with me, or don’t believe me, or don’t think I’m worth my salt, come watch me. I’ll blow you fucking away, I swear.” (61:19)
Epic Gigs & Ozzy Osbourne Tribute
“If you fucked that up, dude, it’s a rap...I didn’t sleep a fucking wink the night before…It was Sabbath’s funeral, really…But the rough thing about that is everyone’s like, you know, I mean, before me, you’ve had, like, sweet leaf and nib and fucking like. And then it’s like, all right, here’s the fucking young spunker gonna come and sing a ballad. You know what I mean? Me and a piano. 50,000 metal fans…” (44:05–44:44)
“But then, you get off stage and everyone’s like, what the...And we all did a shot in the dressing room. Then I…landed in Belgium…on stage at 10pm. I was like, full of beans. Full of spunk, man. Let’s go.” (52:11)
“My old man had a guitar shop…Zeppelin, ACDC, T. Rex…Then you kind of…get into the punk stuff…I always loved proper fucking rock and roll music…” (42:23)
“What I really wanted to do is…I loved theater and I love…frontmen—Scott Weiland and fucking Jagger shaking the hips. I think that kind of got beaten out of us in, like, the 90s…Where the fuck did the hips go?” (59:04)
“Let's have a butcher’s—let’s have a butcher’s hook, let’s have a look.” (54:53)
