The bottle bit me down chords waylon
He soon discovered he was a natural musician. I was supposed to be a guitar player. I didn't take the guitar off my neck for the first four years.
I studied jazz and country and rockabilly. I studied with different teachers. At first I just taught myself. I got home and I just figured stuff out on the records. I would put my three quarters on top of the needle on the record player to slow the record down. But the message, and the songs, and the energy, that's what I was attracted to. The first concert that the young Jesse Dayton attended was George Jones, and it was a no-show.
We came back the next weekend and the band plays like five songs and then he finally walks out. He's got this high collar kind of velvet Tom Jones country pimp outfit on. A in these cheesy bands. Then at 15 his friend asked him to a gig. And I was just … well … the next day I went and put grease in my hair and bought a leather jacket. We talked about the impact that punk had on his, my, generation.
How immediate the change kicked in. I mean my parents thought it was insane. But it's so important. Why are you so weird? For Dayton, punk was an honest voice. He couldn't give a shit about the money, and that is a powerful thing man. It's kind of a scary time; we need those stories now more than ever. Then one night he was playing a gig in Nashville. I was a kid. You know it's like guys with bad mullet haircuts and singing goofy bumper sticker songs.
You want to smoke a joint? The next day, a broke Jesse Dayton was preparing to leave his cheap hotel to fly home when the phone rang. I cut my hand cooking with Jessi Colter last night.
Like this guy is putting me on, this is bullshit. It's all about timing. Things just started rolling from there. Then a Ray Price record, then Glen Campbell. The first day I met him was in Nashville. We were playing this Americana conference, a big show. I was shaking in my boots, you know? Up until the end. He was just a beautiful cat. In the subsequent years, between recording and playing with others and in his own right, Dayton started his own label, Stag Records.
While touring with Rob Zombie, Dayton disciplined himself to write two pages of film script every day, and by the end of the tour had the basis of his own horror for the silver screen.
This film, Zombex, was ultimately filmed in starring Malcolm McDowell. It also featured X frontman John Doe, and this introduction led ultimately to a lasting friendship between the pair, which is interesting considering the initial conversation they had with each other about the film.
John Doe remembers the conversation well. I think that Emily cut his head off. I figured out the difference between the film business and the music business. The music business will stab you in the back but the movie business will stab you in the face. They will look at you right in your face, they don't care. Six months after that they were on Letterman.
A full US tour was booked. Exene [Cervenka of X] had met Jesse and trusted me. Jesse and Billy listened to the same guitar players as they developed their own styles. We had faith and it turned out to be a great time as well as rewarding for the audience. We played a straight up punk rock show, which X hadn't been doing with Billy. Currently I'm working on a sequel to the LA punk history: Charlie's shoes Country No 1, Chattanoogie shoes hine boy Country No 1, Cheyenne TV series theme song.
