ROCKSTARS OF JAY LENO'S GARAGE | Jay Leno's Garage

[Music] so tell me how the passion for cars inspired the music or was it the other way around i was in the cars before music when i was a little kid and i would drive my bike 10 miles across town to the ford dealer to see the first mustang i'd go in the back and lift the hoods up you know and they'd say hey get out of there kid i was just i was really a car guy but a car has one thing the way these cars sound i try to sing that way i try to sing in that high and my guitar sound i strive to get a ferrari at 7 000 rpm six carbureted freaking daytona that's what i want my guitar to sound like you know what's the fastest you ever went in a car jake i was in a jet car on the on the salt flats at 278. oh my god wow i never went over to up to 200 this is going to go over 200 i have never done it i only got one car that will do it ferrari we take the la ferrari and go you take it 200. things happened too fast i've had this flat out which is about 170 800 780. that road just got so narrow i know you know things happened quicker that should be your next song things happen quick at 200. that's a great title for us yeah well i got to find out first though come on man yo yo there we go the only thing about discarded brakes ain't great yeah yeah oh no jay no i just pull over right forget about it just pull over [Music] oh man chase this ain't pretty i don't even know if my cut if i have

been placed under arrest look at him look at him i was only doing about 90. damn my car [Music] you [Music] so what was the first cool thing you bought when you made money in music was it a car or a motorcycle you know what the first thing i bought when i made money what a piano oh yeah well yeah yeah yeah grand piano i slept under it oh is that right you slept under the piano have you still got that one yes yeah and what was the first vehicle you won the first vehicle i bought was an audi fox oh an audi a sensible car wow wow this is totally out of character i thought it was like a foreign car right it was i thought it was a sexy little car and it was easy to drive so it seems like you started out as an old man and have gotten younger i guess automotively so what first got you interested in cars and motorcycles motorcycles i always liked since i was a kid motorcycles on rock and roll were the same thing loud noisy yeah cars recently but motorcycles always so were you one of those kids that just was it the dmv when you're 15 and 9 10 waiting to get your license i didn't have a motorcycle license until i was in my 30s really yeah i just drove without a motorcycle license oh you just but you had motorcycles yeah i had motorcycles but on and off and then i got serious about it in my late 20s i always missed the bikes i sold or gave away i want that back i want that back that's when i started collecting this is a beautiful area yes this is bayville my mom used to take us here when we were kids and we jump off the bridge and you go fishing and we'd borrow boats yeah borrow a boat you just take them off the mooring go for a rug come back yeah i think the real key to success is never forget where you came from i think that keeps it being fun because i'm still startled and overwhelmed by what i'm doing stadiums i'm a piano player what the hell am i doing in a baseball stadium right they're coming right 40 000 people yay okay all right [Music] now oyster bay may be only eight miles from where billy grew up so this is my property oh it's a beautiful piece of property yeah but man it's a world apart i used to work on an oyster boat out here was that right i look up at this house and curse it to people rich bastards never worked a day in your life and now i own the place yeah which i really enjoy because i don't really belong but that's what makes it fun waiting for the owner to come back and throw me [Music] i'm out i can't believe this is my first time on a racetrack we'll see first time for everything i know this is your day off i know you're right in the middle of the tour so have the tour going good the tour is going great it's been five years since i've been on tour my head above water is a new album tell me about the title why what what does that refer to what's the first single off the record okay there's a song that i wrote about my my health journey yeah that's right you had that lyme disease deal yeah so i fought that for a couple of years wow i'm happy to be driving i'm happy to be on tour and yeah living life well you started at 15 right yeah my first album came out when i was 17 complicated and skater boy and what year were you first on the tonight show with me i would have been 17 right right so you want to get your speed up and then brake right before the turn and then power through the turns go right into that corner right there right tight as you can see try to get near that white line you kind of go wide that's it there you go doing good the idea is to always kind of keep the car going straight even when you're going on a curve cut the wheel now get on the gas there you go there you go i feel like i'm in a video game right now well it is like a video game yeah there you go now you're doing good give a little more gasket one more guess so in canada you just say give her giveaway give her eye see now go this way step on the break and then cut the wheel way over there oh this is easy well yeah that's because we're not going that fast but okay yeah we're going 30. you go 100 and it gets a little crazy give her it don't be afraid of it there you go all right pick it up some speed there we go let's see if she gets it over 100 miles an hour are you ready to go oh my gosh okay you're gonna put your foot right to the floor okay all the way to the floor there you there you go keep going keep going that's it you're doing good oh you just goes fast oh my god there you go 100 miles an hour that's good it's so fun you want me to take you around for life absolutely all right we'll switch off it's not every day you get to go on a race track with jay leno or avril lavigne [Music] it's so fast oh my god we break hard right here oh you mean [Music] business okay i've literally never gone that fast in a car before now imagine this car goes another 100 miles an hour faster than that but it shows you what a good car this is wow how you doing are you okay i'm holding down my lunch this purple frame rail was kind of a tribute to taking a piece of cadzilla so it's bad little sister of eliminator still going to have some purple in it catzilla purple but you do get that sense of machine meets art can we take it for a ride i think we should do it time to fire it up button this thing up before we do that can you throw me the keys so we can recreate it like you did in the video yeah let me get over here yeah okay okay sun's kinda in my eye but go ahead let's try it [Music] i hear a lawsuit coming you okay it's all right it's all right it's okay you're good enough to drive yeah i'm fine okay yeah that's right the eliminator we loaned it to the rock and roll hall of fame you can still go up and see it of course catzilla sits at the peterson auto museum right well tell me about your relationship between music and cars been asked many times why does rock and roll and cars maybe we should go back to chuck berry 1955 maybelline maybelline yeah and then of course before that rocket 88 socket 88 there's hot rod lincoln oh my gosh there's always been this connection yeah nobody really has uh the definitive answer i just kind of go with it knowing that fast loud let's leave it at that a sharp dressed man with a well-made point i think we've eased down the highway enough in this old whiskey runner it's time to put these legs to use jay it's been a great one man [Music] it's really cool [Music] welcome are you ready for your lesson uh sort of yes or no i mean you should learn to drive before you die before you move to l.a yeah yeah how do you get around los angeles i mean well i mean

neutral d is drive oh i like the sound of that there we go all right let's put it in drive squeeze the button 2d don't touch the guy it should take your foot off the brake i'm easily confused by directions i never truly understood the value of his seatbelt until this very moment okay okay go forward there we go okay forward hands on the wheel here we are so we can turn this yeah don't run over the con not yet yeah i think he just ran over a car without success which could have easily been a pedestrian and i was just going to admire myself yeah i know okay give a little more gas get a little more gas just be careful wow this thing's got some power in it yeah it does oh i like it it's great step on the break see it come to a full stop put it in reverse or okay right hand down i
