In 2012, that TV show premiered in Canada to raves and it's now set to take over the United States on the FUSE Network, airing every Friday night before "Warped Roadies".

They have captured lightning in a bottle. Anything else would dilute its legacy. - [GET IN THE RING — Chuck Berry “Memphis, Tennessee” and Me vs Johnny Rivers "Memphis, Tennessee" and My Late-Mom & How She & This Song HAUNT Me!](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2017/03/04/get-in-the-ring-chuck-berry-memphis-tennessee-me-vs-johnny-rivers-my-late-mom-how-she-and-this-song-haunt-me/) - Chuck Berry's "Memphis, Tennessee" vs Johnny Rivers "Memphis, Tennessee" - [Ultimate Jam Night- Tuesday - February 14th, 2017 Featuring BRUCE KULICK!](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2017/02/13/ultimate-jam-night-tuesday-february-14th-2017-featuring-bruce-kulick/) - Celebrate Valentine's Day with members of KISS, Guns 'n Roses, The Cult, Ace Frehley Band, Rod Stewart and MORE! - [Album Review - Overkill - The Grinding Wheel - Nuclear Blast Records](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2017/02/08/album-review-overkill-the-grinding-wheel-nuclear-blast-records/) - I have to admit to not hearing much of them in the UK since the mid 90's so I didn't realize that The Grinding Wheel is their 18th full release.

A finely tuned 1969 El Camino ran on a special organic blend of fuel painted neon purple with neon green flames that sounded great back when they first debuted and despite one members selfish suicidal behavior, with Chip Z'Nuff aka the Dog On The Phone, Enuff Z'Nuff sounds even greater today and thier future is so bright, the who band needs Rose colored shades!

Is it due to his DNA, a childhood growing up sharing a home with housemates like Jimmie and Stevie Ray Vaughan or being one of the most in-demand people in the industry for the past 15 years? As Willie Dixon penned, you can't judge a book by looking at the cover. - [Jackyl- The Machine Shop - Flint, MI - 12/02/16](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2016/12/06/jackyl-the-machine-shop-flint-mi-120216/) - Jackyl performing at The Machine Shop in Flint, MI on 12/02/16 in support of their latest album "ROWYCO".

Those chainsaw rippin’, hell raisin', gun tottin', Bourbon drinkin', Harley-Davidson ridin', full throttle Rock N' Rollers from the backwoods of Georgia collectively known as Jackyl are back with "ROWYCO". It's their 8th studio album in 24 years. Yes!, I count 1998's "Stayin' Alive" as a studio album even though it includes three cover tunes and three live songs. "ROWYCO" is your typical Jackyl studio album..... Loud, aggressive, stanky (© Jesse James Dupree) and as politically incorrect as ever!

It's been a relaxing vacation after months of health issues, a near death experience, a stint in ICU, lost friends, new friends, sick leave from work, and several deaths of people close to me. As I watch the sunrise begins, I think that if my Mom, Dorothy or Dad, Omar were awake, they'd be starting a pot of coffee and soon join me on the deck. Then my warped mind takes over and its inner-jukebox starts spinning "Coffee & Pot" by Spookie Daly Pride (aka SDP). I asked myself "WTF! Where did that come from?" I hadn't listened to SDP for nine (9) years since somehow my copies of their three albums, 1999's "Finna", 2001's "Marshmallow Pie" that was re-issued in 2004 with new packaging and CD artwork by Funzalo Records and the bands recording career/2005 Funzalo Records swan-song "Medicine Chest" DISAPPEARED. SDP usually re-enters my brain when someone has a birthday (see "Birthday Song") and it dawns on my I, then, look a chicken, where was I going with this sentence, oh yeah, I need to reorder their catalog.

It’ll be their second album with John Corabi as their lead singer. Call the band a collective or supergroup but one of the things that intrigues me is how if someone has to step away due to other committments, the band seamlessly plugs someone into that spot. Case in point, after 2015’s album and tour cycle for Revolucion, guitarist Richard Fortus and keyboardist Dizzy Reed left to fulfill their committment to the reunion of Guns N’ Roses & in waltzed ex-Whitesnake axeman, Doug Aldrich. Doug has also recorded and toured with the likes of Glenn Hughes, Bad Moon Rising, Lion, Revolutions Saints & Dio. - [Jeff Beck - Rochester Hills, MI - Meadow Brook Amphitheatre - 7/30/16](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2016/08/01/jeff-beck-rochester-hills-mi-meadow-brook-amphitheatre-73016/) - Jeff Beck performing at Meadow Brook Amphitheatre during his Loud Hailer tour in Rochester Hills, MI on 7/30/16.

For a band that has existed for 40 years, they play with a real sense of piss n’ vinegar that most newer bands lack or pretend to have. Twisted Sister are a well oiled Rock N’ Roll machine.

Yes, there are moments of Country on it, more so in the choice of instrumentation than anything else. Overall, the album has more genre diversity than any one label. There is a bit of Delta Blues, Zydeco, Rock, Jazz, Funk, R&B, Soul and some of Steven’s best vocal performances committed to disc. - [Album Review – Black Stone Cherry – Kentucky – Mascot Label Group](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2016/07/01/album-review-black-stone-cherry-kentucky-mascot-label-group/) - June 4, 2016 marked the 15th anniversary of Black Stone Cherry.

When the opportunity came up to interview someone of Devin Townsend's caliber we knew it needed to be unique so we turned to our friend and a HUGE fan of Devin's work, Mike Dupke. Mike brings an interesting perspective to the table since he is also a recording artist and touring musician. Legendary Rock Interviews would like to thank Mike for taking the time to talk to Devin and keep an eye out for our interview with Mike, coming soon! - [DVD Review: Rage Against The Machine - 'Live at Finsbury Park' - Eagle Rock Entertainment](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2015/11/25/dvd-review-rage-against-the-machine-live-at-finsbury-park-eagle-rock-entertainment/) - Rage Against the Machine just released their latest DVD, 'Live at Finsbury Park,' on Blu Ray/DVD via Eagle Rock Entertainment. Released last month on October 16th, I was excited to get my copy in the mail the week it came out and have watched it a few times since. - [DragonForce - Royal Oak Music Theatre - Royal Oak, MI - 11/25/15](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2015/12/03/dragonforce-royal-oak-music-theatre-royal-oak-mi-112515/) - Dragonforce performing at the Royal Oak Music Theatre on their Maximum Overload world tour in Royal Oak, MI on 11/25/15.

Released on October 30th via Eagle Rock Entertainment. The ten shows performed in support of 1989’s “Steel Wheels” album at the legendary Tokyo Dome marked the 1st time they’d ever performed in Japan. The fact The Rolling Stones had yet to perform in Japan during their 28 year existence up to that point is mind boggling enough and we haven’t even made it to their performance on this release. - [DVD Review - Eric Clapton - Slowhand At 70 - Live From The Royal Albert Hall - Eagle Rock Entertainment](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2015/11/20/dvd-review-eric-clapton-slowhand-at-70-live-from-the-royal-albert-hall-eagle-rock-entertainment/) - Eric Clapton is performing with a renewed vigor as evident in his newest release, Eric Clapton – Slowhand At 70:Live From The Royal Albert Hall. It was released on November 12th through Eagle Rock Entertainment.

He has released his solo album "Cannibals", toured with his solo band, wrote, recorded and released "Hot Streak" with The Winery Dogs, released a live DVD with his solo band and just finished up the first leg of The Winery Dogs tour in support of their new album. How he finds time to be a father, constantly remodel his house and do all the press he does is beyond me. I had a chance to catch up with Richie a week ago to discuss the new album with The Winery Dogs, their tour, his new live DVD with his solo band, his plans for November through January which include a couple of solo gigs in L.A. at The Baked Potato as well as the Def Leppard Cruise and various other non-musical topics. - [Album Review - Billy Gibbons and The BFG's - Perfectamundo - Concord Music Group](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2015/11/06/album-review-billy-gibbons-and-the-bfgs-perfectamundo-concord-music-group/) - A haw, haw, haw, haw, a haw, November 6, 2015 sees the release of the first solo album, “Perfectamundo”, by the quintessential connoisseur of guitars, custom hot rods and all things Blues & Rock, Billy Gibbons. Billy Gibbons is joined by an all-star ensemble of supremely talented musicians under the moniker of Billy Gibbons & The BFG’s. Mr. Gibbons steps outside the box that is his main gig as Frontman and Guitarist for the legendary ZZ Top & explores the musical flavors of Tejano, Mexicano, Caribbean and Afro-Cuban. - [DVD Review - Black Stone Cherry - Thank You: Livin' Live, Birmingham UK October 30, 2014 - Eagle Rock Entertainment](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2015/11/05/dvd-review-black-stone-cherry-thank-you-livin-live-birmingham-uk-october-30-2014-eagle-rock-entertainment/) - This is not one of those live concert releases where the camera angles are robotic and straight ahead. While there are a few static cameras, the majority are handheld or mounted on John Fred's kit and give one the feeling of being on stage. The band is as energetic as ever, never standing in one place for too long. All the qualities that makes Black Stone Cherry one of the best live bands around are represented but they’re also confident enough to leave in the subtle imperfections that make a truly live show, LIVE! The audio is a warts n' all mix (that's not a band thing) provided by singer/guitarist Chris Robertson while the bands lighting director Joe McKinney mans the video edits in stellar fashion. No audio overdubs or blitzkrieg editing here! You feel like you are in the LG Arena for this memorable show. Well done gents, well done! - [DVD Review - Lynyrd Skynyrd - Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd & Second Helping – Live From Jacksonville At The Florida Theatre - Eagle Rock Entertainment](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2015/11/01/dvd-review-lynyrd-skynyrd-pronounced-leh-nerd-skin-nerd-second-helping-live-from-jacksonville-at-the-florida-theatre-eagle-rock-entertainment/) - [Album Review - Sunflower Dead - It's Time To Get Weird - Bloody Bat Records](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2015/11/01/album-review-sunflower-dead-its-time-to-get-weird-bloody-bat-records/) - Take my advice, DO NOT let Sunflower Dead's visual image fool you! I almost let them pass by due to judging their appearance. From the album cover to the promo photo, I was expecting some crazy hybrid of rehashed Nu-Metal mixed with some rap crap of those poseur morons in Insane Clown Posse. However, upon listening to the first few songs of their new album "It's Time To Get Weird", it became abundantly clear that while they may have a tinge of Nu-Metal to their sound, they understand that infectious riffs and hooks will not leave them lumped together with the rest of the copycat clones of a genre that is well past its prime! - [DVD Review - Just Let Go - Lenny Kravitz Live - Eagle Rock Entertainment](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2015/10/25/dvd-review-just-let-go-lenny-kravitz-live-eagle-rock-entertainment/) - Hard to believe it has been just over a quarter century since Lenny Kravitz burst onto the world of music and pop-culture with his critically acclaimed debut album "Let Love Rule" in 1989. Since then, Lenny Kravitz has released nine more studio albums, made tabloid headlines, become a pop-culture icon, won multiple Grammy Awards and collaborated with the likes of Madonna, Slash, Aerosmith, David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Al Green & Curtis Mayfield. He even lent his talent to KISS My Ass: Classic KISS Regrooved, a KISS covers album where he recorded his take of "Deuce". Since September 2014, Lenny has released his tenth studio album, "Strut" and on October 23rd, he released his new concert film entitled "Just Let Go - Lenny Kravitz Live". - [DVD Review - Richie Kotzen - Live - Headroom-Inc](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2015/10/15/dvd-review-richie-kotzen-live-headroom-inc/) - Yahtzee! Richie Kotzen sure has been rolling boxcars as of late. Over the last two weeks he has scored a Billboard Top 30 album thanks to "Hot Streak" by The Winery Dogs, embarked on a sold out tour with The Winery Dogs and released a new live DVD with his solo band. Filmed a Akasaka Blitz in Tokyo back on February 2nd of this year, "Richie Kotzen Live" is touted as Richie's first proper live DVD release in terms of Hi-Definition audio and video. - [Album Review - The Winery Dogs - Hot Streak - Loud & Proud Records](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2015/10/01/album-review-the-winery-dogs-hot-streak-loud-proud-records/) - The Winery Dogs naming their sophomore album “Hot Streak” can conjure up many thoughts or visuals. A few just off the top of my head include, the band is on such a “Hot Streak” since their debut album, so-and-so is on a “Hot Streak” at the poker table or seeing adult-film actress Siri run naked down the street would be considered a “Hot Streak”! No matter how you take the album title, there is no denying that Richie Kotzen, Billy Sheehan and Mike Portnoy, collectively known as The Winery Dogs, are on a HOT STREAK in terms of success and creativity since the release of their debut album in 2013. - [Album Review - Driving Wheel - The Hometone EP](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2015/10/23/album-review-driving-wheel-the-hometone-ep/) - All-in-all, Driving Wheel’s “The Hometone EP” is thirty minutes well spent that begs for more spins. I look forward to their next release which I’ve heard whispers will be a full length offering. Fans of Blackberry Smoke, Laidlaw, Silvertide, The Black Crowes, wicked slide guitar, impassioned vocal stylings, swampy Blues, Southern Rock, a rock solid rhythm section and some well-crafted songs will no doubt digg Driving Wheel. - [ The Darkness - St. Andrews Hall - Detroit, MI 10/21/15](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2015/10/22/the-darkness-st-andrews-hall-detroit-mi-102115/) - The Darkness on their "Blast of Our Kind" US tour Performing at St. Andrews Hall in Detroit, MI on 10/21/15.

Chaos, in-fighting, turmoil, drama, health scares be damned, on Sunday, June 15, 2014, Aerosmith are WHITE HOT and firing on all cylinders! Thankfully, it was captured for this multi-CD/LP and Blu-Ray/DVD combo “Aerosmith Rocks Donington 2014”, available through Eagle Rock Entertainment! Aerosmith charge through a 20 song set of 70’s classics, MTV era classics and deep cuts like a band possessed for the hour & forty-five minutes they were on stage at the iconic Donington Park! - [Seether - The Fillmore - Detroit, MI 10-10-15](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2015/10/11/seether-the-fillmore-detroit-mi-10-10-15/) - Photos of Seether performing at The Fillmore in Detroit, MI on 10/10/15.

The release of this album is no small accomplishment considering frontman/bassist Lemmy Kilmister’s string of health issues since 2013. Never one to wallow in self-pity, the almighty Lemmy Kilmister forges ahead with his Motörhead-mates, Phil Campbell on guitar and Mikkey Dee on drums along with Producer Cameron Webb to bring listeners their trademark brand of Rock N’ Roll. - [Album Review – Buckcherry – Rock N Roll – F BOMB Records](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2015/08/21/album-review-buckcherry-rock-n-roll-f-bomb-records/) - Buckcherry were out to make a statement by naming their album "Rock N' Roll". Thankfully, they delivered an album worthy of such a title. I have no doubt they'll continue to put out quality Rock N' Roll that has the swagger, sleaze & the wink of the eye their predecessors once did. That was a fun 37 minutes while it lasted leaving me thankful for the repeat button on the stereo. The album is short, sweet and to the point. - [Album Review - Lynch Mob - Rebel - Frontiers Music srl](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2015/08/13/album-review-lynch-mob-rebel-frontiers-music-srl/) - Lynch Mob has delivered yet another fantastic album with "Rebel". I've been a fan since their debut and with the exception of their Lynch Bizkit monstrosity, they've always delivered quality melodic hard rock. They throw in a few modern twists here and there but overall, dare I say, it is "classic" Lynch Mob. It would have been a shame with the lineup this album features if they'd delivered a stinker but the songs are excellent, the playing top notch and a tip of the hat to Oni, George, Jeff and Brian as well as the Producer, Engineer and Mixer, Chris "The Wizard" Collier on a job well done. - [Album Review - Erotic Suicide - Abusement Park - Remastered](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2015/08/12/album-review-erotic-suicide-abusement-park-remastered/) - Erotic Suicide were five years too late in terms of having a chance in the mainstream. That's ok because they stood strong in the face of haters to provide two great albums for those who enjoyed their Hard Rock a lil' on the sleazy side. Fans of melodic anthemic party rock with a healthy dose of sleaze will digg this album as will fans of early Mötley Crüe, Poison, L.A. Guns, Guns N' Roses, Faster Pussycat and Skid Row! - [DVD Review - Black Veil Brides - Alive and Burning](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2015/08/07/dvd-review-black-veil-brides-alive-and-burning/) - Filmed on November 1, 2014 at Los Angeles' famed Wiltern Theatre. The Black Veil Brides performed a energetic 17 song set for a packed house of BVB Army devotees. This concert video shows that the band is one to be seen live. They are very well rehearsed without being robotic and definitely feed off the energy the crowd gives. - [Richard Fortus discusses Guns N' Roses future, playing with Izzy Stradlin, The Dead Daisies Revolución and more!](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2015/07/27/richard-fortus-discusses-guns-n-roses-future-playing-with-izzy-stradlin-the-dead-daisies-revolucion-and-more/) - There is a saying in the music industry, "Have Guitar, Will Travel!" Elvis' guitarist Scotty Moore recorded an instrumental of that name in 1958 and Bo Diddley titled an album by that name in 1960. The saying definitely fits Guns N' Roses and The Dead Daisies guitarist Richard Fortus. His resume of session work and bands is a rather vast & impressive list, from Love Spit Love, Puff Daddy, The Psychedelic Furs, 'N Sync, Ben Folds, The Crystal Method up through his tenure with Guns N' Roses & The Dead Daisies. - [Album Review - The Dead Daisies - Revolución](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2015/07/26/album-review-the-dead-daisies-revolucion/) - The Dead Daisies return with their second album "Revolución" as well as a new lead singer, John Corabi. Hailed as "a musical collective created by a rotating line-up that features some of the best Rock musicians on the planet. This includes members of Guns N’ Roses, The Rolling Stones, The Cult, INXS, Ozzy Osbourne, Mink, Rob Zombie, Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake, Motley Crue, RATT, NIN and The Psychedelic Furs among others." - [Concert Review - Skid Row - Harley Fest - Freedom Hill - Sterling Heights, MI 6/13/15](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2015/07/07/concert-review-skid-row-harley-fest-freedom-hill-sterling-heights-mi-61315/) - It's always great to find out when one of your favorite bands is coming to town. A while back, I read that the mighty SKID ROW would be in town on June 13th, 2015 as part of the 2015 Harley Fest event presented by 106.7 The Drive. - [Jimmy Hiltula of Sister Sin Checks In From The Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival Tour](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2015/07/10/jimmy-hiltula-of-sister-sin-checks-in-from-the-rockstar-energy-drink-mayhem-festival-tour/) - I met up with Sarge and Sister Sin in the Dillons parking lot in Greensburg, KS. Sarge, ever the quick thinker that I am not said we should do a quick interview and photo-op. Luckily, I came prepared as my cell phone had a recording app. We took care of the photo-op's then retreated out of the 100+ degree and 30mph wind furnace that is a Kansas summer & into the air conditioned comfort of The Swedish warship "Sprinter" for my chat with Sister Sin guitarist Jimmy Hiltula. - [Jesse James Dupree of Jackyl Discusses Career, Full Throttle Saloon, Jesse James Spirits and More](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2015/06/19/jesse-james-dupree-of-jackyl-discusses-career-full-throttle-saloon-jesse-james-spirits-and-more/) - Full of tobacco spit, whiskey, and a cocky southern swagger, Jackyl relied on their music and their live performances to win over audiences. In 1992, their recipe for success yielded a platinum album for Geffen records and began a rock and roll journey that would continue and grow some 23+ years later. - [We Are Harlot- The Machine Shop - Flint, MI - 5/20/15](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2015/06/06/we-are-harlot-the-machine-shop-flint-mi-52015/) - We Are Harlot- The Machine Shop - Flint, MI - 5/20/15 - Photos by Aimee List - [Movie Review - Attack Of Life - The Bang Tango Movie - A Drew Fortier Film](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2015/05/28/movie-review-attack-of-life-the-bang-tango-movie-a-drew-fortier-film-2/) - In all seriousness, I was extremely late to the Bang Tango party but the two Beautiful Creatures albums, a handful of Joe's performances on tribute albums and Travis' raving quickly got me up to speed. I quickly bought up their back catalog and have kept up over the past ten years. For as much as I digg their music, I still don't know much about the history of the band.....until now, thanks to a fantastic documentary by Drew Fortier entitled 'Attack Of Life:The Bang Tango Movie'. - [The Pretty Reckless- James H.

I may have interviewed some pretty big stars but as a child of the 80s it is still pretty surreal to hear the voice of The Bangles calling me on my cell. Whenever you're talking with someone who has not only scaled the heights of rock and pop stardom but also featured prominently in the adolescent crush category it's going to take a few seconds of adjustment. Like most of us who have grown up on her music, Susanna's grown as well, having gotten married and raising two sons (with her husband, Austin Powers//Meet The Parents director Jay Roach). What's interesting is what hasn't changed. She's still incredibly gorgeous and still has a distinctly sweet and unique voice. She's still recording and performing music with The Bangles and she still has a solo career, having just released a really well received new album, SOMEDAY, this past summer. Susanna will be performing a series of very intimate acoustic shows this fall to support the album and we recently talked to her about a bit of everything.

He's toured the world and been a friend or collaborative partner of many of the artists we cover and love. Aside from all that, he is a totally underrated guitar player and easily one of the nicest "rock stars" you will ever run into. I had actually been trying to nail down an interview with Snake for quite some time. This was mentioned in our recent Sebastian Bach interview leading to a whole OTHER discussion about Snake's concurrent career in artist management. The truth is, Dave Sabo is a very busy guy but recently he found time to call in and give an in-depth interview. He answered everything I asked, addressed our Q&A with his former lead singer and much more.

She laughed about recent tweets that were sent to her about why she wasn't "hardcore" enough, she was incredibly punctual and nailed the interview, so to speak, the exact time it was scheduled and she told me that if anyone saw her in the gym working out she's expect them not to stare. I wasn't sure if I was interviewing the nice, shy catholic schoolgirl (which she coincidentally, was, the sharp witted smarty-pants with the Bachelor's in Forensic Psychology or the crazy porn girl who appeared as "Shakira" and starred in "American Dad XXX".

It has been well documented that Miles Nielsen's music is certainly a different breed than the raucous hard rock power pop of his dad and this is true. The truth is, however, there are some similarities between father and son including as a great sense of humor and yes, an affinity for Beatles inspired melodies. I am happier than anyone to say that the new album, Miles Nielsen Presents the Rusted Hearts (which is available everywhere Valentines Day) is the sound of a man and a band completely coming into their own. This latest album is the end result of endless road gigs, hours of recording time logged and a lifetime of crafting songs that deserve the production and attention they have finally received. Miles called to talk about the his songwriting, his band's new album and much more.

The mere fact that Joey Kramer has survived to do an interview with us is nothing short of miraculous (read his amazing book Hit Hard) but the fact that he's calling me as excited as ever to talk about touring and recording in 2012 speaks volumes about the guy. Joey and Aerosmith are like a flame that cannot be stomped out and the guys all have plenty to be happy about these days. They are out on the road and loving it (with our hometown boys Cheap Trick along for the ride) and they have a new album they will be releasing this fall called "Music From Another Dimension". There's no more "American Idol" hanging over the proceedings, no more questions about band solidarity and a renewed focus on throwing down the gauntlet to make new music that reflects not only the grit of their seventies era but the mass appeal of their resurgent MTV era. I recently had the chance to have a quick chat with Joey during a recent tour stop in Georgia about everything that's happening.

There were rumors he had died as well as rumors he was a born again Christian who had given up music. Both were false. 2015 sees the return of Joe Holmes with a new album with his own band, Farmikos. Legendary Rock Interviews caught up with Joe by phone to discuss his past, his hiatus and his shreddin' return in this very in-depth interview! - [Black Label Society - Royal Oak Music Theater - Royal Oak, MI - 1/16/15 ](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2015/01/26/black-label-society-royal-oak-music-theater-royal-oak-mi-11615/) - Black Label Society - Royal Oak Music Theater - Royal Oak, MI - 1/16/15 Photos by Shawn Thornton - [Album Review - Farmikos - Farmikos](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2015/01/17/album-review-farmikos-farmikos/) - The long-awaited self-titled debut album from Farmikos has arrived and it does not disappoint!

If you are a passionate hard rock fan you know him from his songwriting credits on classic tracks ranging from "Do You Love Me" (KISS) to "Escape" (Alice Cooper) or even "Stick To Your Guns" (Motley Crue).

Since "24 Hours" release, Richie has been busy writing, recording & touring with The Winery Dogs touring extensively as a solo artist and releasing his 2014 "Essential Richie Kotzen" collection. Anyone who has followed Richie's solo output at all knows not to expect two similar albums in a row and "Cannibals" carries on that tradition of being vastly different from "24 Hours" yet retaining some similarities sonically. Also, if you are expecting a continuation of The Winery Dogs sound, well, you will have to wait for their new album that should be released before year's end. - [Crash's 14 Top Albums Of 2014](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2015/01/04/crashs-14-top-albums-of-2014/) - Here are my picks for the Top 14 Albums Of 2014 - [Cinderella's Tom Keifer discusses 2015 solo tour plans, a possible Blues album, Cinderella hiatus and Still Climbing!](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2014/12/12/cinderellas-tom-keifer-discusses-2015-solo-tour-plans-a-possible-blues-album-cinderella-hiatus-and-still-climbing/) - Released on April 30, 2013, "The Way Life Goes" was ten years in the making.

I explained to her that they were not my cup of tea but I let the CD play, when we got to lunch, I asked to see the CD case. First off, I could tell at first glance upon the CD cover that they were highly influenced by early Mötley Crüe and probably, KISS.....upon researching the band after lunch, I was right!

He is a lightning-rod for critics and haters alike but just like his heroes in Mötley Crüe, W.A.S.P., and KISS, he welcomes their venom & often spews it right back with a middle finger soaring!

Since hitting the public consciousness in 2008, Texas Hippie Coalition (aka THC) has had a myriad of lineup changes in the guitarist and drummer positions. So many, in fact, it is damn near Spinal Tap-ish! Co-founders, bassist John Exall and vocalist Big Dad Ritch (aka BDR) have weathered the storm to produce their most solid effort to date, 'Ride On'. Joining them are drummer Timmy Braun, who should achieve "THC Veteran" status as this is his second consecutive album with THC, and 22 year old guitar wiz Cord Pool who should be given the MVP (Most Valuable Person) award for his contributions both musically and in the songwriting department to 'Ride On.' He is clearly the ying that has been missing on the previous three albums to BDR's yang. - [Rikki Rockett discusses Rockett Drum Works, the future of Poison, No Mercy Comics & Devil City Angels new record deal](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2014/10/31/rikki-rockett-discusses-rockett-drum-works-the-future-of-poison-no-mercy-comics-devil-city-angels-new-record-deal/) - Growing up, Poison was my favorite band.

Seasons After have returned after a tumultuous four year hiatus that saw various lineup changes and legal disputes almost derail one of my favorite metal bands of the past decade. Seasons After formed in Wichita, KS. in 2006. I've watched this band grow every step of the way from packing out some of the seediest shitholes in Wichita to sharing Summer Festival stages with some of the biggest names in Rock & Metal. Riding the wave of 'Cry Little Sister', a top-fifteen single on the U.S. Mainstream Rock Chart, video rotation on MTV & Fuse for the aforementioned song & garnering positive reviews from fans and critics alike, Seasons After seemed on the verge of breaking big when their singer abruptly quit mid-tour bringing all momentum to a screeching halt. - [Nikki Sixx On Sixx:A.M "We laid out our souls and it connected with people around the world"](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2014/10/06/nikki-sixx-on-sixxa-m-we-laid-out-our-souls-and-it-connected-with-people-around-the-world/) - Nikki Sixx "We are beyond excited about our future together.

I caught up with Lead Singer Nathan Hunt this week for an interview that felt more like shootin' the breeze with an old friend at the neighborhood tavern. This upcoming Tuesday, September 16th will see the release of their fifth studio album, 'Smokin' Hearts & Broken Guns.' It is their first released through Mascot Label Group. - [Album Review - Shaman's Harvest - Smokin' Hearts & Broken Guns - Mascot Label Group](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2014/09/05/album-review-shamans-harvest-smokin-hearts-broken-guns-mascot-label-group/) - Over the past decade, I can count on one hand the number of modern rock bands that have remotely impressed me. FOUR...Rival Sons, Seether, Black Stone Cherry and Volbeat! Good thing I have a thumb because Shaman's Harvest is getting added to that hand based on the songs on their fifth studio album 'Smokin' Hearts & Broken Guns.' The album is due out September 16th via Mascot Label Group. - [Album Review - Richie Kotzen - The Essential Richie Kotzen - Loud & Proud Records](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2014/09/02/album-review-richie-kotzen-the-essential-richie-kotzen-loud-proud-records/) - 2014 marks Richie Kotzen’s 25 year as a professional recording artist.

Roar back they have, nitro-fueled, hammer down, jammin' gears and pedal to the grill. The band announced earlier this year that the songwriting and recording process had begun on their next studio album. I, for one, was relieved and ecstatic as I've been a fan of the band since a longtime friend and Boston native sent me their true debut album "All Wound Up" along with a CD single for a newly recorded song called "Whatever" in late 1997. Between 1997 and 2010 the band has released five studio albums, an acoustic EP and one "Best Of" compilation to celebrate their 10th anniversary since their major label debut in 1998. - [Album Review - Buckcherry - F*CK - F Bomb Records](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2014/08/11/album-review-buckcherry-fck-f-bomb-records/) - Buckcherry has returned with their follow-up to last year's "Confessions", a concept album based on the seven deadly sins. On August 19, Buckcherry will release their first ever EP and according to the press release, it is also based on a concept. While I'm not the brightest bulb on the tree, after multiple listens, I've yet to figure out the concept of this fucking EP! - [Album Review - Blackberry Smoke - Leave A Scar Live In North Carolina - 3 Legged Records](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2014/08/08/album-review-blackberry-smoke-leave-a-scar-3-legged-records/) - Play one.....drink one.....HOT DAMN! Do you like your music blended and aged like a fine Bourbon? Maybe a dash of Southern charm not seen in its purest form since the late 1970's when Blackfoot, The Marshall Tucker Band, The Charlie Daniels Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd were in their prime. Mix in some classic Aerosmith, The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, some authentic country alas Waylon Jennings, Billy Joe Shaver and Jackson Taylor & The Sinners. The secret ingredient is that you add just a pinch of Bluegrass! Let it age in charred white oak barrels for 14 years & you have a recipe that has bite to it and you call it BLACKBERRY SMOKE! - [Skid Row - Rise Of The Damnation Army - United World Rebellion - Chapter Two CD Review](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2014/08/02/skid-row-rise-of-the-damnation-army-united-world-rebellion-chapter-two-cd-review/) - Skid Row returns with the second chapter of their "United World Rebellion" EP series. I thoroughly enjoyed the first chapter but this one takes it to a whole new level. They return as aggressive and angry as ever! This easily could have came out between "Slave To The Grind" & "Subhuman Race" back in the 1990's. The band is firing on all cylinders and is as cohesive as ever. - [Album Review- ACE FREHLEY- Space Invader- eOne Music](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2014/08/02/album-review-ace-frehley-space-invader-eone-music/) - On "Immortal Pleasures", one of the best tracks on his new album, "Space Invader", rock icon and hall of famer Ace Frehley sings "I've reached the top, there's no more need for climbing". He's right and wrong at the same time of course; Ace is clearly a legend with nothing to prove, yet 2014 finds Ace yet again exploring and creating at an even higher level than his last album, 2009's "Anomaly". - [Sammy Hagar - A Journey Through The History Of Rock Tour- Freedom Hill - Sterling Heights, MI 07/23/14](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2014/07/25/sammy-hagar-a-journey-through-the-history-of-rock-tour-freedom-hill-sterling-heights-mi-072314/) - Sammy Hagar - A Journey Through The History Of Rock Tour- Featuring Michael Anthony, Jason Bonham and Vic Johnson...

It had been tucked away in singer Derek Davis' vault all these years. Derek recently dusted off the masters, had them re-mastered from two inch analog tape to digital format and set about releasing this long-overdue gem.

Like the bands that inspired them (Maiden, W.A.S.P.) you're never really going to "get" this band until you experience them live and that's not a bad thing, it speaks volumes of how true to the spirit of rock and roll they really are. The personalities of HESSLER no doubt stand out in the hipster trendier-than-thou Chicago environment they hail from and they most likely wouldn't have it any other way. Some have called them a throwback to old-school metal but there's really nothing recycled about their riffs, some will focus on their disturbingly gorgeous lead singer Lariyah Daniels but they'd admit she's hardly the whole show. They're kind of a new breed unto themselves; intelligent kids with a mean streak, a whole lot of ambition and hard work ethic to go along with their talent and image. We talked to Lariyah and guitarist Igz Kincaid to find out what the hell is going on for you so go ahead, enter HESSLER'S vortex and let them consume you.

Outtake from famous Robert John photo session Marc Canter had a front row seat and a backstage pass to the rise of "The World's Most Dangerous Band" a.k.a. Guns N' Roses. The band attended his wedding and Slash played at his son's bar mitzvah. If you've read Slash or Steven's books you've probably already heard about how Marc, Slash's old BMX buddy, created a astonishing backlog of memorobilia, notes, setlists, video and audio of his old pals rise to the top. Talk to Steven or Slash and they will tell you that THEIR jaw dropped when they finally saw the scope of the photos and the "you are there" nature of Marc's fantastic book, RECKLESS ROAD. It's over 300 pages of pure kickass, it's that friggin good. Marc Canter also runs the world famous, historic Canter's Deli in L.A. and if you ever run into him be aware that he may just have better GNR stories than the guys themselves so make sure to pick up a copy of his book along with having a bite to eat.

She is the definition of a real life Barbie doll to the casual observer but the visuals don't exactly match up with the actual personality most people expect. In other words... she's pretty, girl next door-ish and easy to talk to but not at all submissive, she's down to earth but not in typical, boring "act polite and don't ruffle any feathers" fashion. She's lived a life few can imagine but doesn't have the same aloof, untouchable tendencies of other famous rock star "accessories" like Tawny or Pamela or any of those girls who act like they're doing them you a favor by existing. Some people have referred to Bobbie as"Miss Cherry Pie", "The Ultimate Rock Video Girl", or even "The Serial Rock Star Dater". Whatever you wanna call her, there is no doubt that while she is Hollywood to the core you can still sense a little southern hospitality in everything she touches. If she has a bad trait that gets her in trouble it is her unfailing inability to be dishonest or to kiss ass simply to "play the game". She has a new TV show, a bundle of energy and she's a great friggin interview.

The band is planning to release the second EP in six months and third EPs of the series six months after that and if this five song offering is any indication, the classic Skid Row sound is back. The best news is that songs are all cohesive sonically and don't sound like they are reaching to adapt to the times or forcing themselves to "grow". In fact, "Kings Of Demolition" literally sounds like it could have been written or recorded during the Slave To The Grind administration. After more than a decade of singing both new and classic era Skids songs, Johnny Solinger doesn't need a manual or studio trickery to do his job and the opening track, more than any other song, proves this. My other favorite track here is "Stitches" which is anchored by a great Rachel Bolan bass lick and a "Piece Of Me" feel. I really, really tried to find a song out of the 5 to criticize and the ballad "This Is Killing Me" took 4 or 5 listens for me to warm up to. The verse guitar licks and Johnny's vocals eventually wore me down and I now love it as much as the other 4 songs. Honestly, I really liked the first Solinger album "Thickskin" and think "Ghost" is one of Skid Row's best songs but I really believe the band has needed this time to gel, play live and refocus. It is, of course, only my opinion but I don't feel the least bit disingenuous saying that "United World Rebellion, Chapter 1" feels more like a successor to "Slave To The Grind" than "Subhuman Race" or "Thickskin" does. Songs like "Let's Go" and "Get Up" are simplistic enough lyrically and musically to kick you in the teeth but well-written enough to become live set staples. The twin guitar attack of Snake Sabo and secret weapon psycho Scotti Hill hasn't been sharper, the rumble of Rachel's bass has never been louder and drummer Rob Hammersmith flat out kicks ass on his fills. Anyone who has seen Johnny and the guys live knows that it's evident they are having fun and getting along and this recording, more than any other in the "Johnny era" reflects that. I can't wait to have all three "Rebellions", preferably on vinyl. * * * * Four Stars - [Gunner Sixx and Jordan Spoliansky of FIGS VISION talk about shattering perceptions,opening minds with music](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2013/04/01/gunner-sixx-and-jordan-spoliansky-of-figs-vision-talk-about-shattering-perceptionsopening-minds-with-music/) - Gunner Sixx and Jordan Spoliansky have known each other for years which has not only built the basis for a close friendship but also laid the groundwork for their new band, Figs Vision. While Gunner does share a surname and a daring approach to music with his dad, this is not Motley Two.

Figs Vision don't occupy one particular style and have a sound that is all their own and they invite you to hear for yourself on their soundcloud channel where you can download three of their songs for free. Their music is catchy as hell and has a tendency to get stuck in your head for days, always a good start for a band.

To be technical, it started not in Southern California at all but closer to our neck of the woods, the Midwest. Stevie was a young metalhead/skater in the Wisconsin area who quickly outgrew Oshkosh and Appleton and headed for the glitter and aqua net headquarters that was the late 80s Sunset Strip hard rock scene. Eventually, after a fair amount of dues paying, he hit major label paydirt with his band TUFF and experienced some of that Dial MTV love with their hit "I Hate Kissing You Goodbye". Stevie's been loved, hated, ignored and adored at various points in his career but I have to give him credit for continually flying the hard rock flag when many others have shunned and denied it. He and Tuff are set to go out on tour (including a slot at M3) to show the believers and non-believers why they refuse to go away and called me to talk about it; read on... - [Chuck Wright talks to LRI about his new project Heaven and Earth, Quiet Riot, House Of Lords and more!!](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2013/03/27/chuck-wright-talks-to-lri-about-his-new-project-heaven-and-earth-quiet-riot-house-of-lords-and-more/) - Chuck Wright has spent a large part of his career playing bass in classic rock bands so he is understandably excited about the April 23rd release of "DIG", the new album from Heaven and Earth. Heaven and Earth is a little Foreigner, a little Deep Purple and a hint of TOTO; in other words, it's classic rock in the truest sense of the term with big Hammond organ mixing with arena rock guitars and powerhouse vocals. Chuck Wright has an insane amount of studio credits on his resume as do most of the members of Heaven and Earth which is why it's especially cool to see how excited they all are about "DIG". We recently had the chance to talk to Chuck about the album, his days in Guiffria and House of Lords and much more, read on..... - [ KISS 40th Anniversary tribute/benefit album organizer Mitch Lafon talks about "World With Heroes"](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2013/03/25/kiss-40th-anniversary-tributebenefit-album-producer-mitch-lafon-talks-about-world-with-heroes/) - [One-Eyed Doll's Kimberly and Junior talk touring, merch and taking the next step for their upcoming record](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2013/03/23/one-eyed-dolls-kimberly-and-junior-talk-touring-merch-and-taking-the-next-step-for-their-upcoming-record/) - [Hollywood Undead's J-Dog talks to LRI about outsider perceptions, his magazine,latest album and more](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2013/03/21/hollywood-undeads-j-dog-talks-to-lri-about-outsider-perceptions-his-magazinelatest-album-and-more/) - Hollywood Undead are one of those bands who absolutely work as hard as they party. The guys are currently out on the road supporting their latest album "Notes From The Underground" and growing their following city by city, gig by gig. The album itself proves the band's work ethic, a well crafted collection of songs which are fun but thought provoking, the music alternating between moody and heavy yet always very hooky. The band are just getting heated up and should be out on the road and in your faces all spring and summer (dates below) and we recently had the pleasure to chat with J-Dog about all of this and more, read on.... - [Malfunkshun guitarist Kevin Wood talks to LRI about his late brother Andrew Wood's legacy and NEW gigs!!](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2013/03/19/malfunkshun-guitarist-kevin-wood-talks-to-lri-about-his-late-brother-andrew-woods-legacy-and-new-gigs/) - Seattle, Washington, Mar. 19, 1990. A pretty sad day in general for rockers due to the anniversary of the plane crash that killed legendary guitarist Randy Rhoads, ended with headlines that shook the blossoming Seattle music scene to its core. After receiving buzzing fan support and press adulation both locally and nationally, Andrew Wood, lead singer and figurehead of northwest legends Malfunkshun and Mother Love Bone passed away after suffering a coma and aneurysm following a lethal heroin dose. His death came days before the scheduled release of his band's full length major label debut "Apple" and should have triggered an alarm on the Northwest music scene. Instead, in retrospect, it only seemed to signal the end of its fun beginnings and the dawning of an even darker era. Mother Love Bone members Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament regrouped to form Pearl Jam and the Seattle scene rose to ridiculous prominence in the months and years following Andy's death but it was absolutely never the same. Decades later, part of Andrew's story would be told in the Pearljam "20" documentary and in greater detail in the film "Malfunkshun- The Andrew Wood Story". Thankfully, one person who has kept Andy's flame burning is his brother and former bandmate Kevin Wood who is performing much of Andy (and his) classic music with a tight and revamped lineup of MALFUNKSHUN. The band have two gigs celebrating the birthday of the group April 5 and 6th in Seattle and Portland (details below) and Kevin called to talk to us about the past, his brother and all that is going on now...Read on.... - [LRI Record Review- Suicidal Tendencies- "13" ](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2013/03/16/lri-record-review-suicidal-tendencies-13/) - Founded back in 1981 by lead singer Mike Muir, Suicidal Tendencies has achieved legendary status in both the punk and metal worlds while serving as a much-needed, angry middle finger to the rock and roll establishment. The band's first album in 13 years, "13", proves that despite the passage of time and changing of trends, the band's credo remains solid, not sold. This album is good, real good. I mean no disrespect to past (or especially) current members but it has never been more idiotically clear that original member Mike Muir is the heart, soul and brain of ST. As good as the previous lineups of Suicidal have been over the years, the most impressive thing that can be said about new guitarists Nico Santora, Dean Pleasants, bassist Steve Bruner and drummer Eric Moore is that they move the saga forward while never making you miss the presence of the other guys. That said, if you are as big of a fan as previous ST albums as I am it is safe to say you will love "13" and possibly even hold it as high as your all-time favorites. - [Brian Tichy talks to LRI about Whitesnake, KISS and following his rock guitar passion with S.U.N. !!](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2013/03/13/brian-tichy-talks-to-lri-about-whitesnake-kiss-and-following-his-rock-guitar-passion-with-s-u-n/) - Brian Tichy has spent a career building up a resume that has made him a modern day drumming legend with artists like Billy Idol, Slash, Foreigner and most recently, Whitesnake.

She also mentioned how high she was on her new band from Australia, THE ART, so we checked them out, preparing to be generally disappointed as is usually the case when a manager or publicist really brags up a a band. Well,let's just say someone really ought to consider putting Vicky in charge of more shit because she STILL has an eagle eye for spotting amazing, dangerous rock bands with great songs. The Art is quite different from most of what gets passed as "rock and roll" by corporate radio, which is, of course, a very good thing. They rock but they're not dumb, they're tuneful but they're not "poppy", they are interesting but not aloof or pretentious. We talked with bassist/vocalist Kara Jayne (KJ) and lead singer/guitarist Azaria Byrne about their beginnings, their experiences and their art.

I saw this Nikki Sixx character tweeting about a band called Hillbilly Herald and thought "Hmm, well Nikki did like Raging Slab a helluva lot back in the day, maybe this would be worth investigating". I didn't. Then I see they are gettin a ton of love from Slash. Then I get a message from our old friend, the beautiful and talented Miss Vicky Hamilton who again mentions this Hillbilly Herald band. Vicky knows a thing or ten about rock bands so now I start Youtubing and find this band is pretty damn good. I heard their singer Jimmy Herald interviewed on our local rock station here in Rockford, Illinois and he sounded pretty cool so I got their debut album and tracked him down.

People are still feeling the sting of Ronnie James Dio's passing and the concerns over Tony Iommi's health. While it's nice to see Tony, Ozzy and Geezer together and working on material I am not the first or only person who would have liked just as much to have seen Tony and Geezer carry on their Heaven and Hell project with ex Sabbath singer Tony Martin taking the reins. If you've had the pleasure of seeing Tony live recently or even checking out his more recent gigs on Youtube, you'll see he is in top form and can easily handle the material from ALL eras of Black Sabbath. It's nice to see the recent online warming up to Tony's era of Black Sabbath, it may have been underrated in its day but more and more people are beginning to warm up to some great albums produced during the Martin era. I recently had the chance to talk to Tony about his solo work, the current goings on with Sabbath and much more, read on.... - [Flotsam And Jetsam drummer Kelly Smith talks to LRI about touring, new deal with Metal Blade and much more](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2013/03/06/flotsam-and-jetsam-drummer-kelly-smith-talks-to-lri-about-touring-new-deal-with-metal-blade-and-much-more/) - Flotsam and Jetsam are thrash metal legends who have consistently made great records and played amazing live shows yet somehow managed to remain under the radar of a lot of people for reasons unknown. Kelly Smith started the band back in the early 80s, settled into a lineup (famously including bassist Jason Newsted) and recorded a series of killer thrash albums for labels like Metal Blade, Elektra and MCA while enduring a few lineup shuffles along the way. Now it could be said that the band's potential has never been higher as they are back with Brian Slagel and the venerable Metal Blade and have an amazingly strong album to unleash to a wider audience with April release of "Ugly Noise" (title track featured below). Kelly Smith took the time to talk to us about the band's recent tour with Testament, recording their new album independently, the old days on Metal Blade and much more, read on... - [QUEENSRYCHE singer Geoff Tate on the state of the ryche, Mindcrime tour, former bandmates & more](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2013/03/04/queensryche-singer-geoff-tate-on-the-state-of-the-ryche-mindcrime-tour-former-bandmates-more/) - Geoff Tate is always one of the best interviews you could hope for as a writer, an intelligent, engaging guy who understands the whole process of publicity but always comes off honest and opinionated rather than guarded or hawkish. I was genuinely bummed to hear about the Queensryche split this past summer but pleased to see the fans seriously excited and actively debating the pros and cons of the whole scenario as it plays out before a watching metal world. Reaction is good and there has been plenty of reaction in regards to the latest goings on with Geoff Tate, his new bandmates and his former bandmates. Geoff is undeniably the voice of Queensryche, along with Chris DeGarmo he was the driving creative force for much of the band's signature catalog and the positive reviews of his most recent solo tour have been pretty encouraging as far as his energy and voice. Now, Geoff (along with an all star collection of new and familiar faces in Kelly Gray, Rudy and Robert Sarzo, Randy Gane and Simon Wright) prepares to officially start the new Queensryche tour this April. It's a landmark 25th Anniversary Operation Mindcrime Tour celebration and the band will be performing the album in its entirety along with numerous other classics. It truly is the beginning of a whole new era as the band will then be regrouping and releasing a NEW album and new chapter of the Queensryche saga at the end of the year on new label Cleopatra Records. I recently spoke with Geoff about all this and more, read on.... - [Smashing Pumpkins guitarist Jeff Schroeder talks to LRI about band's chemistry, Rock on The Range & more](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2013/02/27/smashing-pumpkins-guitarist-jeff-schroeder-talks-to-lri-about-bands-chemistry-rock-on-the-range-more/) - I will always remember the first time I heard Smashing Pumpkins as a slowly evolving little metal kid from Northern Illinois.

Frank had mentioned that the band was considering releasing it as part of a special edition expanded re-release of "Worship Music but it's cool that we are instead getting it as a stand-alone product. Of the "Big 4" acts, Anthrax has always been the top of the game as far as merchandising goes and this package will be no exception. The cover art will house a second sleeve inside which has Anthrax-inspired takes on the classic art of each of the bands they are covering which were designed by drummer Charlie Benante and Steve Thompson. - [Adult Hall of Famer TORI WELLES gives a very intimate and exclusive interview with LRI](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2011/09/15/adult-hall-of-famer-tori-welles-gives-a-very-intimate-and-exclusive-interview-with-lri/) - If you had a VCR and a pulse in the 1980s or 1990s you are probably aware of Tori Welles. I'm not ashamed to say I “grew up” on her work. Tori is a legend and a hall of famer (as in Jenna Jameson, Seka, John Holmes, Christy Canyon) in the adult industry but an even more amazing person in REAL life, a survivor with a true story that only someone who lived her life, in her unique space could tell.

There has been a little adjustment period concerning the name of the group since they initially reformed under the name VXN and they are now going by Janet, Share, Roxy, Gina or "JSRG" for short. The ladies are extremely excited to be playing the Monsters Of Rock cruise this March along with some other select dates in 2013 including the M3 Festival and are also preparing an EP of all-new music. If you watch the clip from their "unofficial" first gig together in Amityville, New York (posted below) you will see the band is scary tight and sounds fantastic. I, like most teenage boys (and girls!) watching Headbanger's Ball, paid very close attention to Vixen and have continued to follow the girls' careers since the classic era so I was friggin stoked to find myself on the phone with lead singer Janet Gardner who filled us in on exactly what's going on and what to expect.

Their music and style is all their own and they have cultivated a truly dedicated fanbase of "Voivoidians" by simply staying true to their artistic intent which dates back to the early 80s and albums like "War and Pain" and later "Nothingface". The band hailing from Jonquiere, Quebec, Canada has endured musical trends, industry schism and even the death of their longtime guitarist Piggy in 2005. Now, the guys, along with "new" guitarist Daniel "Chewy" Mongrain (who's actually been in the band for years) have made one of their best albums yet and are ready to go on the road to support it. "Target Earth is the band's thirteenth studio album and is slated for release Jan. 22 via Century Media on multiple formats including vinyl, hell yeah!. 2013 is shaping up to be a great year for Voivod so I talked to Chewy about the new album, their fans and those amazing, amazing, album covers.

You have to appreciate his consistency, his showmanship and his sense of humor even if you're not a fan of the band. Then again, with a trump tight collection of hits and a legendary live show spanning decades it is hard to not root for KIX. They have done the time, done everything the right way and earned a loyal fanbase along the way. Last year the band released a kickass live CD/DVD package recorded in their hometown, "LIVE IN BALTIMORE" which pretty much documents exactly what they do best, playing loud, catchy as hell rock and roll. They are playing in Hollywood and Vegas this March, just before getting set to sail again on the 2013 edition of the Monsters of Rock cruise, where they find themselves again due to overwhelming fan demand. Steve and the band will keep on playing all through the summer including the M3 Festival in their home state of Maryland. There's always a party when KIX is in town and I was happy to check in with Steve to talk for a bit, read on... - [Femme Fatale's Lorraine Lewis on her band's history and ressurection, Ex-Wives of Rock and more](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2013/02/18/femme-fatales-lorraine-lewis-talks-to-lri-about-her-bands-history-and-ressurection-her-show-ex-wives-of-rock-and-more/) - Lorraine Lewis was a part of your Dial MTV/Headbanger's Ball past with her band Femme Fatale and was one of the hottest and most talented frontwomen in an era where only a few females rose to the national level in hard rock.

It's a big year for the band who have been around for a while but are literally going through nothing short of a complete rebirth and transformation at this moment. Their latest album, Illusion, was released through EOne Music (Zakk Wylde, Overkill) and they are spending the next couple weeks gearing up for their coveted opening slot on this spring's Volbeat/Danko Jones tour. Anyone who reads LRI regularly already knows exactly how excited I am about this tour and now I've come to find there's not two but three must-see bands on this bill. Spoken's new album could appeal to literally anyone from super heavy screamer metalheads to college-alt crowds to general rock fans. "Illusion" has genuinely affective song structures, lyrics and hooks all filtered through amazing production values, it is more than capable of blowing your mind and definitely makes you want to see the band live. I talked with singer/guitarist Matt Baird, bassist Ryan Pei and drummer Oliver Crumpton about the tour, the album and more, read on..... - [Overkill's Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth checks in to talk metal, motivation and "Dark Roots Of Thrash" tour](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2013/02/09/overkills-bobby-blitz-ellsworth-checks-in-to-talk-metal-motivation-and-dark-roots-of-thrash-tour/) - Overkill is currently out on the road with Testament on the Dark Roots of Thrash tour kicking America's ass along with fellow thrashers Flotsam & Jetsam and 4ARM. 2013 is looking to be a giant blur of touring for Bobby, D.D. and their mates in Overkill as they are following up these dates with a big run in Europe starting in April and have already got dates booked into July. This is all on the heels of their amazing "Electric Age" album which was released last year and found its way onto many top ten lists (including ours!). Overkill has been around since 1980 and the most interesting thing about the band is that they have had so many twists and turns career-wise only to end up 33 years later sounding as vital as ever. It might be their underdog, underground fighting spirit or simply a matter of perfecting their attack after all this time but the band is as nasty, heavy and fun as you remember them all the way back to those days staying up to watch "Headbanger's Ball" into the wee hours. I was honored to talk to Overkill singer Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth, one of the architects of thrash about all this, read on.... - [Danko Jones talks to LRI about their latest album, DVD, book and more](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2013/02/06/danko-jones-talks-to-lri-about-their-latest-album-dvd-book-and-more/) - Danko Jones, lead singer and guitarist of his namesake band Danko Jones, is a guy who can talk you under the table. An accomplished spoken word artist, podcaster and writer, he is so well versed it is easy to get lost in conversation with him and forget just how much ass his band kicks. It's nothing new, the Toronto, Ontario band has been kicking ass and releasing great tunes for the last 16 years. Still, 2013 figures to be an especially memorable year as they are set to tour this March and April as direct support for Volbeat, one of the spring's must-see pairings. Danko, longtime bassist John 'JC' Calabrese and new drummer Atom Willard's latest album "Rock And Roll Is Black and Blue" is predictably awesome and this show is not to be missed. I am being 100% honest when I say DJ are one of the very few bands with a permanent spot in my car's CD changer so it is especially cool they are touring with one of my other favorite bands. After recently releasing a career spanning DVD, a new album and a unique book it is nice to see Danko Jones still working harder than ever. I talked to Danko about a whole lot of things.

Years before headlining massive stages with Guns N' Roses, Ron was creating, recording and refining his craft on stages and in studios on the east coast and slowly becoming an underground guitar legend. This bears mentioning because I believe it says a lot about how he treats people and much he appreciates every shred of success he's had in the music business. Ron is a jaw dropping, multi-faceted, amazing guitar player but treats fans, media and the people he works with in a way that just makes you want to support his work and see him do well. Bumblefoot has a benefit gig for Autism in New Jersey February 15th and Guns N' Roses are getting set to do an Australian tour starting March 9th, but I recently had the chance to talk to him for the first (but hopefully not last) time. We covered his creative process, the embrace of the GNR faithful and his love of incredibly strong hot sauce, among other things.

Adler, the new band in front of him in 2013, is a breath of fresh air and an altogether different beast. Steven might just be the luckiest son of a bitch on earth because he has seemingly hit the chemistry jackpot with once again with this current band. Make no mistake, despite the name, Adler is a BAND and Jacob Bunton, Johnny Martin and Lonny Paul have as much to do with what makes this band tick as Steven does. Their performances, songwriting and vision mesh with Steven's to create what is probably the most interesting release yet from a former member of GNR. I interviewed Steven last year about the old Guns N' Roses days and he's since closed that chapter of his life to focus on his new band, new album and new lease on life. He and guitarist Lonny Paul phoned in to talk a bit about what's going on, including their touring schedule which is set to heat up beginning with a few shows in Vegas and L.A.

She has built a multi-generational, dedicated fanbase spanning the decades since her rise from Dusseldorf, Germany and her legendary beginnings in WARLOCK. Like most teenaged metal fans, I could not believe my ears or eyes when I saw this massive, powerful voice projecting from this tiny, gorgeous little German woman. The most impressive thing is that 25 years later she looks and sounds as good as ever, backed by a powerhouse band with years of experience under their collective belts and a new album "Raise Your Fist" which is filled with much of the same energy contained on those classic Warlock albums. The band and DORO are set to tour America (and Toronto) for the first time in a long time and I was thrilled to finally talk to one of my childhood idols, Doro Pesch.

The reasons for doing so vary depending on the situation, but we’ve seen bands of various genres taking part in this. Often times when a band does this it kind of confuses their fan base. ...

Otherwise to me he is on another extended tour" Ron Sobol says in his new book and dvd set "Randy Rhoads, The Quiet Riot Years". There have been many books written about Randy over the years and this past year marking the 30th anniversary of his passing is no exception. Headlines were recently made over the Rhoads family's opposition to the beautiful (but unauthorized) coffee table book by Andrew Klein and Peter Margolis and the second pressing of Rhoads' best friend and Quiet Riot bandmate Kelly Garni's book (including more photos and stories of growing up with Randy) is currently underway. Lots of the books focus on the short but glorious time Randy spent with Ozzy Osbourne (as those albums are rightfully viewed as the masterpieces they are) but now we are finally starting to hear and see more about the mid to late 70s genesis of Quiet Riot. - [Sister Sin vocalist Liv Jagrell talks about their new album, tour, personal training and much more](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2013/01/14/sister-sin-vocalist-liv-jagrell-talks-about-their-new-album-tour-personal-training-and-much-more/) - Swedish import Liv Jagrell might look seductive on the surface but you'd be best advised not to underestimate her physically, artistically or intellectually. She will most might kick your ass. Her band Sister Sin has released their 3rd official U.S. full length album, "Now and Forever", and have been building to the moment they take over America. Sister Sin is not your average Swedish glam/sleaze outfit, they are more in your face Accept or Motley meets Warlock type metal with potent melodies meeting precision riffage and brutal beats. Speaking of Warlock, Liv and the band are coming to a venue near you as the special guests on Doro's long awaited U.S. tour and will no doubt be winning converts. Their catalog is stellar, each album is essential and each album is a progression, the hallmark of any good band. I talked to Liv overseas in Sweden about her career in music, personal training and much more. Read on..... - [Love/Hate guitarist Jon E. Love talks touring with Dio, reunion shows, early history and much more](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2013/01/06/lovehate-guitarist-jon-e-love-talks-touring-with-dio-reunion-shows-early-history-and-much-more/) - Love/Hate was always one of those bands that burned so bright you knew there would be an inevitable crash and burn. From the moment "Blackout In The Red Room" hit MTV, any stoner/metal kid worth his salt was well aware of the group and well on their way to blasting their album and songs like "Rock Queen" and "Hell, Ca." louder than God. The guys had a nice run of worldwide touring during their run on Columbia Records and kept on producing albums on an indie level but members began coming and going. Vocalist Jizzy Pearl began a series of stints as L.A.'s most called upon replacement vocalist for acts like RATT and L.A. Guns as well as writing books and spending some quality time on Metal Sludge. Anything worth a shit comes back around and it is with great pleasure that I am reading there are upcoming Love/Hate tourdates and other developments in 2013. We talked to Jizzy some time ago and this time around we decided to get some new questions answered and another point of view from original guitarist Jon E. Love.

Of course her brother is Tommy Lee who is kind of well known as the drummer for a band called Motley Crue. Her father was a loving but disciplined Army Sergaent and her mom was a gorgeous former Miss Athens. Her children are amazing, daughter Tobi is gorgeous and modeling, son Miles is in a great yound band called Bad Suns and youngest Matthew is probably getting set to take over the world. Then there's Athena. Talking to her you get the feeling she is just now starting to enjoy her own life on her own terms and is using her moxie to talk about it all. She has a new book coming out called "Coming in Second", a new TV show called "Ex Wives Rock" and is enjoying life after a messy marriage and bout with cancer. Not to sound like a friggin infomercial but she is honestly inspiring, read on..... - [LRI Book Review- Peter Criss- Makeup To Breakup (Scribner Books)](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2012/12/31/lri-book-review-peter-criss-makeup-to-breakup-scribner-books/) - Peter Criss is the latest member of KISS, my favorite band from way back, to write a book. Gene was first (of course, you thought he'd let anyone cash in before him???) and Ace followed recently with his oddly titled (for a recovering alcoholic) book "No Regrets". So, having said that, comparisons to those books are inevitable. Ace's book was lacking in details, missing some timeline years and seemed to be pulling a lot of punches, almost as if he's still on the payroll for KISS, LTD. - [George Lynch talks T&N, Michael Sweet, Randy Rhoads, his film Shadow Train and much more](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2012/12/22/george-lynch-talks-tn-michael-sweet-randy-rhoads-his-film-shadow-train-and-much-more/) - George Lynch is a guitar hero by anyone's standards and has been for as long as I remember. He rose to prominence of course as lead shredder for Dokken playing with them through their 80s heyday and again on a few albums when they reunited in the 90s. Lynch has since molded a career by working outside the box and the Dokken formula but now he and Jeff Pilson (ex-Dokken bassist) have teamed up with Dokken drummer Mick Brown and the amazing Brian Tichy to record a new album called T&N (formerly Tooth and Nail). The album combines some really great new music with re-recorded Dokken classics with guest vocalists and is one of the most talked about end-of -year releases. I talked with George about everything going on. While so much has been written in the press about George being difficult to work with and demanding, it should be noted that he's easily one of the most laid-back and friendly interviews you could hope to have (As is Don Dokken, which makes the acrimony that much harder to understand).

It's all about passion and dedication and if you've met a few fans of Hank III (Shelton Hank Williams) you have met some of the most sincerely passionate fans in the music biz. That's probably because Hank III himself doesn't treat them as "fans" and doesn't even consider making his music while under the influence of worrying about the "biz". Hank III spent 2012 touring has ass off and promoting his trio of albums that came out late last year. That's right, Hank released three albums simultaneously (one a DOUBLE album) last year on his own label distributed through Megaforce Records and all of them are as distinctly unique as Hank Sr. is from Jr. and Shelton. I talked with Hank III about the grind of do it yourself touring, the disenchantment with the music industry and his sincere love for performing.

This year not only saw the release of Dokken's final studio album, Broken Bones, but also the re-grouping of his former bandmates in a new venture, T&N. While the dysfunctional on/off relationship with his former band mates is hardly new, the fact that Don himself is calling this album their last does come as a surprise. Both 2008's Lightning Strikes Again and Broken Bones were both well-received and lauded as returns to the classic Dokken formula and the relationship between Don and guitarist Jon Levin is 10 years strong. Don is gearing up for some solo acoustic gigs he does around this time every year which begin this Friday night in Arizona. This time out he's taking along Mark Boals (ex- Yngwie Malmsteen) for what should be a great show featuring a ton of stripped down Dokken classics and much more. We talked to Don about the state of the band, his upcoming tour and much more.

Gray first made a dent in the U.K. band Eddie and the Hot Rods who had a top ten hit, "Do Anything You Wanna Do" and then went on to join such legendary hellraisers as The Damned and later, U.F.O. After all those years spent with amps cranked to 11, these days, Paul is mostly busy as a leader in the Musician's Union helping to make sure other artists avoid some of the pratfalls and risks that can be so common in the music business. I had a chance to talk to Paul about his career and some of the people he's worked with.

It’s well known that we mention them in pretty much every interview we do regardless of whether the situation even calls for it. The guys themselves don’t really do a whole lot of interviews and while we’ve met them a bunch of times it’s never been with tape rolling. This is a great interview with Rick Nielsen’s lovely daughter Scarlett who as a model is not only as hot as a 70s Robin Zander pin up but equally as nice and interesting. We thank her not only for her time but for giving us just a little peek behind the family curtain of our beloved baseball cap wearing songster! - [Moonshine Bandits talk about their musical hybrid, their new CD/DVD and much more](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2012/12/11/moonshine-bandits-talk-about-their-musical-hybrid-their-new-cddvd-and-much-more/) - The music we make comes natural to us. We listen to all types of music from old school hip-hop, to Creedence, some Uncle Kracker, Johnny Cash, some Waylon, some Kid Rock, REHAB, Hank 3, and more. We are influenced by all genres and our taste is pretty eclectic. - [Aerosmith- "Music From Another Dimension" CD Review](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2012/12/07/aerosmith-music-from-another-dimension-cd-review/) - I haven't been all that impressed with a complete Aerosmith album since their 1989 release Pump. But it is Aerosmith, so I got the album and gave it a listen. Some of the more recent releases have lacked the vibe of the classic sound, but this one definitely pays homage to their past and gives a nod to their heroes at the same time. - [Chasey Lain (Adult Star) Talks about her life in and out of the Adult Industry](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2012/04/04/legendary-rock-interview-with-xxx-hall-of-famer-and-mainstream-actress-chasey-lain/) - Chasey Lain has already won pretty much every award there is to win in the adult industry from Best New American Starlet in Cannes, 1995 to the eventual Hall of Fame induction. She's made 156 magazine appearances including 56 covers but she's also been one of the most visible stars outside of XXX. Since the late 90s, Chasey has accumulated far more credits in music videos and mainstream films along with Playboy TV and Howard Stern appearances and probably trails only her buddy Ron Jeremy in "regular" appearances. She's an interesting girl to talk to with equal parts southern charm and high energy workaholic being in her personality. We caught up with Chasey recently to ask her about some of that and a little bit more.

Michael Poulson sang while dripping sweat from the third song in “Another Day, Another Way” - [GIGANTOUR- Lacuna Coil, Volbeat, Motorhead and Megadeth- Milwaukee, WI- Eagles Ballroom 2/12/12](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2012/02/13/gigantour-lacuna-coil-volbeat-motorhead-and-megadeth-milwaukee-wi-eagles-ballroom-21212/) - The crowd was way into the band, the give and take between band and audience was one of those magical and defining concert moments you always hope for but seldom get. The Volbeat guys had 45 minutes and made the very most of every second - [Cheap Trick with Miles Nielsen and the Rusted Hearts- 06/01/12- BMO Harris Bank Center, Rockford, Illinois](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2012/06/03/cheap-trick-with-miles-nielsen-and-the-rusted-hearts-060112-bmo-harris-bank-center-rockford-illinois/) - The hometown boys returned to their old stomping grounds of Rockford, Illinois for a show at the big orange box downtown (now called BMO Harris Bank Center) and quite a bit more than the name has changed since our last time seeing them here back in the late nineties opening for Motley Crue - [Rock'n The Valley featuring Hessler, The Last Vegas, Trixter, Warrant and Skid Row.

To begin with, in order to put this show in perspective, a word must be said about attendance at recent events in the northern Illinois/southern Wisconsin area. - [LRI Record Review---- KISS-Monster-Universal](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2012/10/07/lri-record-review-kiss-monster-universal/) - Okay, I will admit, the first thought that enters my mind upon examining the new disc from my favorite band KISS is "Man, I hope the album itself is better than the cover art". Thankfully, it is. Much better, in fact. I really wasn't that big on the last album cover but could at least appreciate the fact that it looked like an artist spent some time on coming up with a concept. The title "Monster" could have lent itself to so many different creative interpretations from comic book inspired dreamscapes to abstract images that provoke but instead we get a rather stock looking photo of the current band. It's sort of an understandable fact that the guys don't really take a lot of chances at this stage in the game and generally go for the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" approach whether talking about setlists or staging but KISS album covers have often been far more interesting. This time out, screw the cover and just dive into the music which is insanely potent for a band which has been doing this for seemingly eons. - [LRI Top 10 "Sh*t You Might Still Need For Christmas 2012"](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2012/11/26/lri-top-10-shit-you-might-still-need-for-christmas-2012/) - This isn't a normal critic's "top ten" list where we all fawn all over the past year's high profile releases from classic bands like Van Halen, KISS or popular newer bands like High On Fire or All That Remains. Instead of re-hashing all of the hype that surrounded those bands releases, I intend on putting forth a list of items that may have missed your radar this past 12 months. Of course you're busy picking up the latest blender for your mom or slippers with ears that move for your little sister so you might not remember everything YOU want. Just share this list with your friends and family in hopes that they give you one of these gifts instead of another tin of popcorn or six pack of socks. - [KISS author Dale Sherman talks about his latest book, KISS FAQ](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2012/11/19/kiss-author-dale-sherman-talks-about-his-latest-book-kiss-faq/) - Dale Sherman is an author who is also a massive KISS fan. In KISS nerd circles that gives him a helluva lot of credibility and it shows in his work. He's authored great books such as Black Diamond (and the collector's guide sequel) as well as books on Alice Cooper and others but like most KISS fans, he keeps coming back to the beloved. The great thing about his work is that while he is quite obviously a big supporter of the band he's not ever afraid to take a much more objective look at the big picture or even point out things that are downright goofy (let's be real, there are many). His latest book is called KISS FAQ and it is a real fun read which runs the gamut of topics all of us KISS dorks might talk about while kicking back a few over dinner at Applebees after a grueling KISS convention. I recently decided I had to chat up Dale about the band and the book.

It's refreshing to talk to someone who has been in the business for so long yet shows no signs of fatigue or disenchantment from it. Jon has been playing intimate acoustic shows around the world which focus on his lifetime of compositions and audiences are raving about the gigs. He's performed at the recent London Olympics, recorded a single "Brasilian Music Sound" which is a tribute to the World Cup in Brazil 2014 (available on Amazon) and just wrapped up another summer/fall touring run for 2012. We had the pleasure of having a telephone chat with him recently to talk about his life, his music and the big picture.

The things that make an impression on us about heavy music as kids often remain either static or left behind as we and the bands we love age. 2012 was another busy year for Brian and Metal Blade especially since it was the 30th anniversary of him starting the label in 1982. He still has the ear for killer new bands while never relegating the classic bands to the dustpile as irrelevant. I recently had the pleasure of asking Brian a few questions about all of the above.

With the latter getting set to come onstage the place already felt like it was a 100 degrees inside and dripping with aggression, anticipation and obviously, sweat. - [Cheap Trick's Bun E.

We've interviewed Rick Nielsen's daughter as well as featured his son Miles multiple times but have never actually nailed down an interview with one of the band members. Until now. Bun E Carlos is not only a musician's musician but a treasure trove of pop culture and rock and roll information. It's a touchy subject as to why he no longer tours with Cheap Trick but he remains on board as an official member regardless and is absolutely an essential part of the band's dynamic and history. Bun E. is a great drummer, a great guy and we thank him for giving us a crash course on one of our favorite bands' history.

He's talking to us after just returning from a film festival for his new movie, "Greetings From Tim Buckley" and he's already had to reschedule our interview twice due to all the buzz and rehearsal leading up to his band Anthrax heading back out on the road. They're heading out again with Testament and Death Angel for a new set of dates including their first ever tour of Canada in support of their most recent album "Worship Music". I've probably interviewed Anthrax more than any other band over the years and it's always as much fun as you could ask for in a conversation; in fact we talked to Frank back in January and decided to catch up again with the always energetic, always fun to talk to and always full of gratitude Mr. Bello.

Tera's currently retired from "active duty" in the adult biz but has found true happiness and peace in motherhood, a new relationship and the excitement of running both her household and her multiple business projects. We've been impressed with her personality and have known she gives a great interview way going back to her first appearance on the Howard Stern show where she soon became a favorite guest. You'd be hard pressed to find an adult star who racked up more awards or accomplishments than Tera in the 2000's, she's earned the right to relax and truly immerse herself in a private life. It was a pleasure and a surprise that she agreed to catch us up on where she's at now and let us see how 2012 has been to her.

Sometimes it pays to be real familiar with the bands you love because you find out interesting things, such as the fact that TLV singer Chad Cherry is a huge scary movie freak (as we are also at LRI). Chad's written about and interviewed horror icons himself and even included scream queens in his band's videos (sexy horror icon Sybil Danning is featured in and produced one of their recent videos, "The Other Side"). We knew that we needed to get one of our favorite bands back on our page and that Chad Cherry was the perfect person to talk Halloween and horror with so it was basically a no-brainer. The Last Vegas are so real it's scary, go get their album and read on.... - [ANGEL vocalist Frank Dimino talks NEW reissues, reunion possibilities and new business ](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2012/09/24/angel-vocalist-frank-dimino-talks-new-reissues-reunion-and-more/) - We have a bit of a fixation with 1970s hard rock and particularly the Casablanca Records bands like KISS or Angel. Frank Dimino was the lead singer for Angel and is still singing actively today out in Las Vegas with a band called Vinyl Tattoo which features members of Stryper and Great White as well. Frank sings because he loves it, that has been clear ever since the Angel days and in subsequent years when he became a sought after vocal coach. He now has a new company called Dimino Enterprises which was set up to help acts with many different areas of the often complicated music business. We met up with Frank recently out in Las Vegas (yeah, he signed my On Earth As It Is in Heaven poster!!) and talked and got an update from him on everything new going on as wellin addition to conversations about those aforementioned Casablanca years (and the NEW Angel reissues).

He's busy promoting a sick new release from his side project Dublin Death Patrol (with former Exodus singer Steve "Zetro" Souza) and of course the latest effort from legendary thrash icons Testament, "Dark Roots of Earth". The new Testament album is already every bit the critical and commercial success that the last album "Formation of Damnation" was and the band is blazing a trail across the globe on tour with their old friends in Anthrax and Death Angel. Chuck is a guy who can speak with passion and sincerity about practically any subject and we recently spent some time talking about life, health and of course....metal.

They plan on resuming their "Dark Legacy" tour and closing out the year with a strong run of shows in October and November before kicking off 2013 on the 70,000 Tons of Metal Cruise. The cruise sounds absolutely massive, setting sail from Miami in January and promising the largest floating heavy metal festival ever (boasting 40 bands including Doro, In Flames and Dragonforce). We talked to Cristina about her band's own legacy, her art and image and even got a few "straight from the source" Italian cooking tips.

Anyone who's had the pleasure of watching him play over the years knows he gives his all every single time he picks up a set of drumsticks. Johnny is currently getting ready for a nice fall tour banging the skins as part of Doro's official band (as he has for almost two decades) and supporting Doro's new EP "Raise Your Fist In The Air" on Nuclear Blast and available through iTunes. I love Warlock and I love Doro; if the title track from "Raise Your Fist" is any indication we are in for a lot more amazing and super catchy music from the band. The real reason I personally that Johnny is so cool though, is because he understands what a massive Britny Fox fan I am and basically spent an ungodly amount of time talking about every era of the band with me. I haven't been able to track down any of the other guys from the band but Johnny kicks unbelievable ass for answering every question I threw at him. Check out the new Doro and read on..... - [Lillian Axe and Angel guitarist Steve Blaze talks the latest on Axe, Angel and working with Robbin Crosby](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2012/09/01/legendary-rock-interview-with-guitarist-steve-blaze-lillian-axe-angel/) - 2012 has worked out to be a pretty good year for Steve Blaze and his band Lillian Axe. They saw the release of their latest album, "IX The Days Before Tomorrow", a seriously solid collection of music that reflects not only their penchant for melody and songs but also Blaze's own ridiculous guitar skills and crunch. Lillian Axe spent the summer getting exposure on the America Rocks Tour and are now supporting the album with a European tour running through September before heading back home to Louisiana to do a festival at the end of the month. They then play Firefest in the U.K. in October so they are busy. New vocalist Brian Jones is fitting in seamlessly with the guys, handling the cuts from Lillian Axe's catalog like "Show A Little Love" and "Dream of A Lifetime" as well as any of the new material and the fans are getting a chance to see an energized band touring behind a new album they are very proud of. I recently caught up with Steve and talked about everything going on with his band, his old friends Robbin Crosby and Jani Lane and even a little about his filling in for Punky Meadows as guitarist in one of my (and his) all time favorite bands ANGEL. - [L.A. Guns Steve Riley talks Hollywood Forever, Tracii Guns and even a little W.A.S.P. with LRI](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2012/08/30/legendary-rock-interview-with-drummer-steve-riley-l-a-guns-w-a-s-p/) - Steve Riley has been living, breathing, sleeping and swimming in rock and roll for as long as I can remember and since the mid 1970s by his own account. He first made an impression on me, like so many impressionable youths, during his time with shock rock envelope pushers W.A.S.P. and then managed to have lightning strike twice when he found major label and MTV success in L.A. Guns a little later in the 80s. He's been a reliable fan favorite and all around approachable guy who's smart enough to value and appreciate the rewards of he and his bandmates hard work over the years. After years of touring and numerous lineup changes, L.A. Guns has had a very nice 2012 touring and promoting their latest album, "Hollywood Forever" and we recently had a chance to briefly catch up with Steve on all things Guns and more.

When that person introduces herself as "Lita Fuckin' Ford" it starts to sink juuust a little further in. Lita Ford is not only a certified rock star and guitar icon but also the object of fanboy crushes since at least the mid-70s when she and the Runaways burst on the scene. I was most surprised and pleased to talk with Lita about her latest album, incidentally called "LIVING LIKE A RUNAWAY". As a fan of ALL of her solo albums the most insane thing about the album is not only how much better it is than her last album but that it might be her best yet. She's gone through well-publicized drama in her personal life and seems to have come out better as a result of it all and it's clear she channeled a lot of her emotions into the album. Lita's been kicking ass as part of the Def Leppard/Poison tour, she's focused, she's driven and she talked to us about all that and more.

It would seem the passage of time, the evolution of music and her own nicely carved out career as an acclaimed photographer and director would eventually slam that door to the California paradise of the 1970s shut. But it hasn't. Fans and media have kept the Runaways in the public eye and Victory is fine with that. After all, she not only agreed to an interview with us but made one of our all time favorite documentaries ever, "Edgeplay- A Film About The Runaways". Having previously interviewed Jackie Fox, it was a sincere pleasure talking with Victory about her time in the band following Ms. Fox's departure, her amazing films and much more. Read on... This interview (as well as all of our Runaways-related interviews) is dedicated to the memory of drummer Sandy West. - [Stryper's Michael Sweet talks touring, new album, book and more with LRI](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2012/08/14/legendary-rock-interview-with-michael-sweet-of-stryper/) - Stryper have always been one of my favorite bands but have always fit outside the box of the normal rock and roll landscape. I've often wondered why but the answer was always right there for anyone who cared to notice. There are so many great bands that have sung about the underbelly of society or evil that you tend to forget that Stryper's message of faith and love was and is basically, shocking. It was shocking in the greedy 80s and it's shocking in the "numb to it all" internet age. The band can hold their own with any national touring act in a live setting and their albums have sold millions but the most shocking thing is that in this day and age people still underestimate Stryper. The band is doing better than ever, going strong with the same lineup intact from their MTV days and they still hold strong to the same beliefs they always have and are willing to back it up. If you are in the Northern Illinois or Southern Wisconsin area the guys will be playing a free event for Harvest America Ministries this Sunday at the Orpheum Theatre in Madison. More info is also available on their website www.stryper.com and I can now check off another dream interview after talking to Michael Sweet, read on... - [Marie Currie, twin sister of Cherie Currie of The Runaways talks movies, music and the crazy 70s](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2012/08/14/legendary-rock-interview-with-marie-currie-twin-sister-of-cherie-currie-of-the-runaways/) - Marie Currie is the twin sister of Cherie Currie of The Runaways and joined forces with her sister after she left the band lending her vocals to the albums "Beauty's Only Skin Deep", "Messin With The Boys" and "Young and Wild". After that, she married, raised a family and meanwhile made a name for herself in business and finance. Marie was portrayed in the 2010 film "The Runaways" by the lovely actress Riley Keough (who happens to be Elvis Presley's granddaughter) and was initially approached by Kim Fowley to actually be in the band before her sister agreed. She's a lovely lady who has lived an interesting, yet happy and normal life by anyone's standards. Marie doesn't do too many interviews but was happy to talk briefly with us and answer a few questions about her past and present.

If you're a rock and roller you probably already KNEW that much. She was the high energy, unbelievably cute, all-american girl next door that held down the rhythm section along with the band's founder and drummer, the late Sandy West. Jackie doesn't give too many interviews so we were honored to talk to her about her time in the band, our feelings on the Lita and Jackie-less movie, her upcoming novel and what it's like still being thought of as a "badass" all these years after the Runaways broke up.

The band have created a buzz overseas and they're taking it over to our side of the pond now to say hello in the loudest possible fashion. The band has a great debut album called "This Might Hurt" and it is aggressive, well executed, gritty and memorable. In other words, it's exactly what you want in your young rock and roll bands and exactly what's missing from the vast majority of other things that masquerade as hard rock on stateside radio. It's not shocking that the band has been chosen to open up for Motley Crue and KISS on THE TOUR this summer because the album is amazing. It's something that would clearly appeal to old school fans as well as kids who don't know Def Leppard from Deftones. If you're going to the show be sure and get there early as I'm fairly certain they are going to kick your ass. We recently had the pleasure of a short transatlantic phone call with guitarist Ben Brookland of The Treatment as the band was getting set to come over here for the first time in their careers and for the first time in their lives.

The legal issues they and their former bandmate Jack Russell are involved in make headlines in the rock world, though none of it is easy on the bands, their families or more importantly, the average fan. Still, the guys seem to have a pretty good remedy for all that, which is simply to keep music the primary focus and keep moving forward. They've got a great new singer who respects his fans as much as his job and a great new album to tour and promote called Elation (on Frontiers Records). "Elation" has a fairly different sound than any of their previous albums but that's okay. Jack and Terry have very different voices and if you were expecting Kendall and company to just go through the motions and re-write the glory days then you aren't aware of their passion to create. We talked about the band's past in previous interviews and were happy to catch up with him again and talk about what's going on now.

Skid Row was playing with Nugent and KISS and half the crowd had no idea it wasn't Sebastian and the other half were watching and waiting to see what would happen. It was no simple task stepping in for a larger than life personality in a band that had become a household name but armed with a microphone, a cowboy hat and a Texas-sized voice he commanded the stage. I was wildly impressed and am not surprised that over a decade later Johnny has stood the test of time having recorded and toured the world with the band. I was a little surprised to hear he's a huge gourmet chef and a little surprised to see just how seamlessly his outlaw styled country music career has worked out but that's just Johnny being Johnny. He's got a quiet confidence and is real easy to like. I recently talked with Snake Sabo and was very pleased to finally talk with Johnny about his cooking, his country and his continued calling to rock including the recent rumors of a potential Skid Row reunion.

It's a solid affair, filled with much of the same hooks and effervescence that made their self-titled debut a gold record and put their videos on heavy rotation on MTV (you know, that channel that used to play music from bands before youtube existed). The band is enjoying another run of fun with a summer package tour headlined by Warrant and Firehouse in addition to the festival circuit. They'll be playing the big ROCK'N THE VALLEY festival here in Illinois July 14. - [The Last Vegas brothers Adam and Nate Arling talk about their new album, Cheap Trick and more](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2012/07/02/legendary-rock-interview-with-adam-and-nate-arling-of-the-last-vegas/) - The Last Vegas are a band of boundless energy and have been building to this moment, a moment of freedom, all their own. The band, founded by Rockford, Illinois natives Nate (drums) and Adam Arling (guitars) have released a series of uncompromising, straight-up rock albums, toured with Motley Crue and AC/DC and generally lived the rock and roll life they exude in their songwriting Through all that nonstop touring and a hard-to-deny charisma they have truly built a loyal and rabid fanbase of TLV Warriors who will be most pleased to see the band now has a brand new record label ( Toronto based Frostbyte/E1 Records) and a brand new record coming late August called “Bad Decisions”. We have talked with vocalist Chad Cherry about the band's past so we were most pleased to get caught up on the present with the Arling brothers, including their big gig here in our area at the ROCK'N THE VALLEY festival July 13 and 14th.

He was already a veteran of several bands and a seasoned studio musician when he rose to prominence as the wild-eyed bassist of Autograph and splashed all over MTV airwaves and national concert stages. We talked to Autograph drummer Keni Richards who went into great detail about the band and have been trying to line up interviews with some of the others ever since. It hasn't been easy. Randy himself doesn't give too many interviews so it was very cool to be able to catch up with him and hear his side of the story. He's toured with Van Halen, Motley Crue and played on American Bandstand for Dick Clark and we had a few questions to get in during a recent opportunity to talk. Read on... - [ L.A. GUNS Phil Lewis talks about Hollywood Forever, the transition from U.K. to L.A. and more](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2012/06/07/legendary-rock-interview-with-phil-lewis-of-l-a-guns/) - Phil Lewis is the quintessential rock and roll gentleman. The man has exuded charisma and star power dating back to his days in the early eighties rock group GIRL and his distinctive English vocals helped L.A. Guns stand out from the pack of bands rising from the Sunset Strip. L.A. Guns released a great new album this week entitled HOLLYWOOD FOREVER and it expands on the foundation they laid with their last record Tales From The Strip (also produced by legendary Stones/Zeppelin producer Andy Johns). Hollywood Forever is as classic and atmospheric as the world-famous L.A. cemetery it takes its name from and features several soon-to-be-staple L.A. Guns favorites like "You Better Not Love Me" and "Venus Bomb" and really shows the focus and cohesion the band has achieved over the years with the current lineup. I recently caught up with Mr. Lewis who, as always, was more than willing to talk about the current band and even answered a few of my questions about the old catalog.

The "hard work" part of it isn't to be taken lightly either as Jack has often balanced commitments to Night Ranger, a solo career, outside collaborations with other artists in addition to his project Shaw/Blades. He recently released a new solo album called ROCK AND ROLL RIDE on Frontiers Records and it's just that, basically a nice, fun album that incorporates all the different variations of rock he's capable of. After years of admiring his work in Night Ranger and beyond we finally caught up with Jack who gave us the lowdown on the album and was kind enough to answer a plethora of questions I've had building up since 1982.

He started off by becoming an expert and go to guy for fixing the equipment and along the way kept his eyes and ears open and made the necessary adjustments towards the jobs of engineer, mixer and producer. He has worked closely and learned more about artists such as Alice in Chains, KISS, Metallica and others than most journalists will ever hope to but none of that really matters to him. You get the sense from talking with Toby that he is as passionate about music and song crafting as the most dedicated artist or devoted fan. We talked to Toby about his current projects and his involvement in the creation of many of your all-time favorite artist's albums.

In a world of cocky, aloof and moody guitar wizards hung up on the "artist" trip, Zakk still basically comes off like a normal guy. Granted, a normal guy with otherworldly six-string skills but still, you get the idea. The dude is a blast to talk to who can speak a mile a minute about practically anything and DOES. We finally had the pleasure of interviewing Zakk about his new book, BRINGING METAL TO THE CHILDREN and he didn't disappoint. The book doesn't either, it's a profane and powerful peek behind the curtain at the insanity that has been his life since his baptism by fire entry into the music business. From his New Jersey teenage beginnings to recording with Ozzy to touring the world with Black Label Society, it's all there and then some. We talked about the book, the band's connection to their fans and a lot more.

Everything has been done, redone and watered down or oversimplified to the point that virtually no band commands your attention. Furyon is a band that you should hear from, a band you NEED to hear from, as their frantic, hooky music is the antidote to the same-ish lemming rock currently being peddled on mainstream radio. The funny thing is that it's not that far off from some of those bands dominating our rock charts in that it is catchy (Shinedown, Three Days Grace) and is heavy. However, there's still something a bit more intricate and developed about FURYON. It could simply be that they have a different vantage point being from the U.K. where they have already won over both fans and the adulation of press like Metal Hammer and Classic Rock magazine. Listen to the first couple songs from their new album "Gravitas" and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about; it's an ambitious mix of progressive, yet incredibly accessible rock. I had to talk to vocalist Matt Mitchell to see exactly what the fuss was about. Read on... - [The EAGLES Timothy B. Schmit talks about The Long Run, his solo career and life as an Eagle](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2012/05/11/legendary-rock-interview-with-timothy-b-schmit-of-the-eagles/) - Timothy B. Schmit is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, enjoys a solo career and of course, joined the Eagles on the now classic "The Long Run" album in 1979. He made his mark almost instantaneously with the hit single he co-wrote, "I Can't Tell You Why" and is still with the band to this day. Timothy had already been a seasoned vocalist and bass player, performing not only in Poco but on classic hits from other performers like Steely Dan, Bob Segar and Toto. He is in the lucky position of being in one of the biggest touring bands in the world while simultaneously having an artistic outlet for his own music. I talked to Timothy recently while the Eagles were on break and he was getting set to go out on the road for a string of intimate spring shows beginning May 19th in Texas. We talked a little bit of everything, read on...... - [VOLBEAT the Danish Kings of Rock part 2 chat with LRI](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2012/05/09/legendary-rock-interviews-new-chat-with-volbeat-the-danish-kings-of-rock/) - Volbeat is one of my favorite acts out there and the best live band I have seen in ages. The band's sound is an amalgamation of all things cool from the twang and attitude of Johnny Cash to the Misfits punk rock edge, all blown up to a Metallica level of intensity. I interviewed them while back and jumped at the chance to talk again after seeing them on Gigantour. The guys just took a short break after that tour to go back to Denmark and are back out again on the festival circuit this spring and summer across the United States. We caught up with drummer Jon Larsen again to talk about the band's past and this new run of dates.

The guy has earned respect and kudos from the likes of Carlos Santana, Kirk Hammett and countless others who also excel at the six string. He's worked with all of them and countless others but in addition to playing guitar Kenny is probably one of the most underrated songwriters of the rock and roll genre. He made the hard decision to leave the Kid Rock band some years ago and has recently resurfaced with his new album Kenny Olson Cartel which features some of his best work yet. I keep playing it over and over and it's one of those rare records that can just make your spring/summer. Kenny is a true artist and a very cool, laid back guy who has enough starpower in his technique and writing to overcompensate for his quiet and easy going personality. I recently caught up with Kenny to talk about the Cartel band, his involvement with the Hendrix family and of course Kid Rock and the late Joe C.

He is a veteran of the San Fran "Ruthie's Inn" scene, the original birthplace of thrash and along with Eric Peterson helped to form Testament, originally called Legacy. When Steve got the call to join the most powerful and popular band in the scene, EXODUS he recommended his buddy (and current Dublin Death Patrol co-vocalist) Chuck Billy to join Legacy and the band changed their name to Testament. Steve then toured the world and taught us all to do the Toxic Waltz from 1987 til his last album with Exodus, Tempo of the Damned in 2004. Since then, he and a young, hungry, powerhouse new group called HATRIOT (which includes his son Cody on bass) have been touring and recording flying the same true metal flag he planted in the collective consciousness all those years ago. We were understandably stoked to get a chance to talk to Steve, a purveyor of real metal.

She's made a career out of dealing with them, guiding them, supporting them and even at times, mothering them. She's also no pushover. She's worn enough hats that she knows what card to pull and when, having done everything from music journalism, venue booking and record store managing to Geffen Records A&R, artist management and consulting. She will always be remembered for being the only person in L.A. willing to take on Guns N' Roses (which the band just thanked her for at their Hall of Fame induction) but there is way more to her than just that little window of time. She had an interesting path leading to Slash and company and has had an interesting career since including her latest artist, a very interesting band called THE ART, who are currently making waves including a #1 showing in Japan. We had the pleasure of talking to Vicky about her past much more, read on... - [ The Plasmatics' Jean Beauvoir talks about KISS, punk rock and his band Crown of Thorns](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2012/04/20/legendary-rock-interview-with-producersongwriterbassist-jean-beauvoir-plasmatics-kiss-crown-of-thorns/) - You're already familiar with Jean Beauvoir whether you realize it or not. He started out as a mere child playing with the legendary Gary "U.S." Bonds and still incredibly young, punched a ticket to notoriety as an original member of one of the United States most endearing and influential punk bands, THE PLASMATICS. The Plasmatics inevitably blew up similar to the infamous onstage explosions they were known for and Jean moved on to work with other legendary acts like Little Steven, Bon Jovi and KISS. In the process he released solo albums and carved out bigtime success abroad with his band CROWN OF THORNS. We've wanted to talk to Jean for a while and were pleased he got back to us.

The band's template of classic moptop Beatles and Kinks melodies tweaked into blasts of bubblegum rage is nothing if not consistent. In the 90s the band comprised of Kim, Ronnie Bartlett and Roy McDonald consistently created music that echoed their influences and rocked in a most uncompromising manner. Their live shows often blew away the other bands they shared the stage with and there was no such thing as "an off night". While many of their contemporaries either broke up, faded into obscurity or otherwise fell out of the spotlight the Muffs just kept on releasing great, memorable songs. They plan on capping off their 21st year of existence with another great new album and of course more fun, fun, fun live shows. We recently talked with Kim briefly about all of the above.

He can add one more notation to that legendary resume now as he is most definitely NOT declining the induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame like his former Guns N' Roses bandmate Axl Rose. In fact if you talk to those closest to him or spend a few minutes chatting with Steven himself it's more likely that he's had a hotel reservation in Cleveland for QUITE some time. He knows that it's a bummer for fans that the guys can't all get on the same page but appreciates the fact that every single one of the gunners, even Axl, are still alive and still making noise. Steven has a NEW band, simply called ADLER, and has been recording a great new album with producers Jay Ruston (Anthrax) and Jeff Pilson (Dokken, Foreigner). He called up LRI along with his guitarist (Lonny Paul) and new singer (Jacob Bunton) to talk about their new music, the Hall Of Fame, Paul Stanley, Dr. Drew and a bunch of other topics.

His story is a longtime KISS fan's version of the movie "Almost Famous" and in the process of doing plenty of hard work on his own he got access to the band most people only dream of. He's since become a marketing guru, speaking at conventions, conferences and the like while also running his own podcasts and businesses. I have been in contact with Michael for some time and have personally found him VERY helpful in terms of launching the very website you're reading this on. Michael has recently released a really cool and FREE ebook (link below) and I sat down to ask him a few questions about our favorite band and much more.

GUNS (GIRL featured Phil Collen and Phil Lewis respectively). After seeking out their albums at various out of the way shops, I was hooked. GIRL came from the early 1980 era U.K. scene but had a totally different image and hard rock sound than the denim and leather metal of Iron Maiden or Saxon. Gerry Laffy and Phil Collen formed a fantastic glitter guitar duo and the band went far enough to smear a nice little mark across rock and roll history. The truth is, they deserve to mentioned along with Hanoi Rocks as two of the ancestors of the glam metal craze that followed their breakup and laid the groundwork for many a cock rocker to strut. Phil Lewis suggested we hit up Gerry for a chat as he is basically an expert on all things GIRL and we, of course, sought him out. Read on....

He probably looked at us and said 'Well, they're a mess' but I think he'd been there maybe himself and saw potential. He worked with us and kinda, whether anybody says it or not, became like the sixth silent member"--Izzy Stradlin There's a LOT more to Alan Niven and his partner Heather's life than his very well publicized stint as the manager of Guns N' Roses. Alan came to America from New Zealand and not only signed Motley Crue but in the process saved their indie label Greenland from financial distress. He produced, co-wrote and managed Great White to their own gold and platinum before/during the GNR reign and he and Heather have since moved on to form their own label, enjoying a bit more freedom and peace these days. Still, we figure, it had to be a trip being in charge of "THE WORLD'S MOST DANGEROUS BAND". Before the GNR guys get inducted into the Hall of Fame we caught up with Mr. Niven who provided not only a little insight on Izzy and company but also on all the aforementioned topics.

You don't get asked to play with people like Ozzy or Ian Gillan if you're not, so that's common knowledge. Still, you get the feeling looking over his elaborate resume that perhaps his greatness has flown slightly under the radar, especially here in the United States. Bernie has weathered trends, tragedy and industry bullshit and remains a class act in every sense of the term. Mr. Torme and his guitar have put their undeniable stamp on everything from punk and metal to straightforward rock and roll so the more you hear of him the more you tend to seek out his catalog. We hit him up for a quote on his brief stint filling in for Randy Rhoads for our upcoming book but secretly knew there was no WAY we could not do a full-blown interview if he was willing. The fact that he responded and gave us all that and more says a lot about him as an artist and a person.

Everyone remembers Jani as the face of the band for so long and now recognizes the strong presence of Robert Mason in that role. Steven Sweet's history and connection with Jani, his pal from Ohio, has been well documented and his drumwork and harmonies were missed by many when he was out of the lineup. Having said all that, it was Jerry and guitarist Erik Turner who formed the band and the pair continue to expand on that working relationship with their latest venture, DOWN BOYS RECORDS. Mr. Dixon also provides the sunny smile and personality that has kept the band moving positively forward despite roadblocks that would normally destroy many other groups. We found that guy next door, happy California personality in spades recently in speaking with Jerry about he and Erik's new label, the new year for Warrant and oh yeah, the shitstorm started by our interview with Bobbie Brown.

It's appropriately called "THE SKY" (since Robert wrote the classic Journey track "Wheel in the Sky") and Robert is very excited to have the new material available on iTunes and continue to create signature melodies both onstage and in the studio. Having said that, we were not about to pass up a chance to interview the singer of two of the bands we grew up on and not work in a few questions ABOUT those bands and Robert's history. He obliged recently and told us the background behind some of those classic Journey songs, his association with the always controversial Vinnie Vincent and much more.

If you REALLY think about it, that says a helluva lot considering the overall creepy, sinister and yes, legendary nature of the original five band members. Since Dennis was the driving force and songwriter behind tunes like "Black JuJu" and "Dead Babies" it's easy to come to that conclusion. I was thrilled to talk to the man himself and came away with lots and lots of tape of our conversation and one of the most in-depth interviews we have ever conducted. I found the 2012 Dennis Dunaway to be incredibly kind, intelligent and down to earth as we discussed his infamous past, his current projects, his family (he's married to Neal's sister and longtime art/costume desinger Cindy Smith Dunaway) and much more. Read on... (Both Dennis and Neal's interviews are dedicated to the memory of their fellow Hall of Famer and guitarist Glen Buxton, R.I.P. Glen) - [ Alice Cooper Group drummer NEAL SMITH talks Killsmith, original Alice, Rock Hall of Fame and more](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2012/03/08/legendary-rock-interview-with-original-alice-cooper-group-drummer-neal-smith/) - I've had the pleasure of interviewing many artists who have worked with Alice Cooper over the years but never a member of the original Hall of Fame group. Recently I had the surreal pleasure of talking to members of the BAND that started it all when I recently talked with legendary drummer Neal Smith and bassist Dennis Dunaway. Neal not only formed the backbone of one of the most important bands in rock and roll history but continues to push the envelope with a solo career that can only be described as uncompromising. In 2011, he y capped off the group's hall of fame induction year with the release of his latest album KILL$MITH TWO. Neal called to talk to us about his band's catalog, his feelings about the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, KISS, The Doors and his never-ending drive to create.

TV buffs recognize him for his appearances on C.H.I.P.S., Battlestar Galactica or more likely as "Cousin Oliver" from the Brady Bunch. Movie and comic book buffs know him as the voice of Michaelangelo in the three original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles flicks (and your kids will know him from the upcoming Disney show "Doc McStuffins"). It's all entertaining and entertainment to Robbie who really spends a helluva lot of time on MUSIC, being an L.A. pop music fixture in literally countless studio and live situations. In fact, the majority of L.A. musicians we talk to have worked with or shared the stage with Robbie or one of his bands over the last few decades of him playing music in Tinseltown. He also hosts a weekly pop culture based radio show called The Spoon and is a virtual walking encyclopedia of all things entertainment. We had fun talking to Robbie about all of the above and of course KISS and CHEAP TRICK.

Dick has written and recorded for a list of artists that is so vast it is almost dizzying but it always comes back to his association with Alice and now, thankfully, he has written a fantastic book called "NOT Only Women Bleed" about his life and times. I recently had the pleasure of talking with Dick about his long career in music, his new project as a writer and a number of other things I've always wanted to know and only HE could answer.

That was 2005 and since then the band has done everything the right way, releasing solid album after solid album and touring the world spreading the incredibly unique sound that has defined them and turned them into word of mouth legends. After a stint on the North American leg of Metallica's DEATH MAGNETIC tour the band has started to really shake the U.S. with their recent Beyond Hell/Above Heaven album and Live DVD of the same name. This past winter has seen the band rolling through your town on Megadeth's 2012 version of GIGANTOUR and once again turning some new heads with the recent success of "Warrior's Call" on American rock radio. We had a chance to talk with longtime drummer Jon Larsen for a few minutes before their recent show here about all this and more.

Michael is a rock and roll statesman, a LEGEND and a hard rock pioneer. I interviewed his fellow HANOI ROCKS cohort Andy McCoy many years ago and have always wanted to get a few minutes to talk to Michael. The fact that his latest album, SENSORY OVERDRIVE, is probably the best thing he has ever released is just icing on the cake. To see Michael and his band (who are pretty amazing in their own right) kicking this much ass at this stage of the game is simply inspiring. Michael and HANOI ROCKS pretty much created the template that every Sunset Strip rock band and frontman rode to the top and it is extremely satisfying to see that his band and his music is still finding new audiences and touring the world. Every song on album (released last year) is wicked strong and I talked a great deal about it to the man himself as well as taking a few moments to ask about the recent Hanoi Rocks reunion last decade and a few other things.

Michael is world famous for creating the sound of so many bands that have defined rock over the last three decades and you probably remember reading many an album crediting his company Double Trouble Productions since he's been involved in albums that total over 90 MILLION sales. He still continues to record amazing music both with newer bands like Hydrogyn and classic favorites like Skid Row. We called Michael for a nice little conversation while he had a moment to step away from his fantastic state of the art studio, WIREWORLD in Nashville and found out quite a bit about his part in some of the best albums to ever blare out of your car stereo.

Vanessa became a XXX superstar during the golden era of the 70s, came back to cement that status in the 80s and became a cultural icon along the way. She's starred in music videos, been inducted in the Hall of fame and has published a coffee table book through legendary book publisher Taschen which can only be described as jaw dropping in every sense of the term. There are many classic skin flick stars that would make an individual top ten list but Vanessa Del Rio is among a small handful of entertainers that would make EVERYONE'S. Whenever I do an interview with a XXX star I truly aim to get to know the story of the person behind the image which always requires a bit of cooperation and honesty from the star themselves. From the moment I reached her by phone in her native New York it was clear that Vanessa was a natural conversationalist and as funny and real as can be.

He's currently still hitting as hard as ever and still playing Ronnie's music along with longtime Dio stalwarts Rudy Sarzo and Craig Goldy in the powerhouse Dio offshoot simply called Dio's Disciples. We had the pleasure of catching up with Simon while he had a moment to fill us in and the band was planning its upcoming run of tour dates.

Jeff has written a critically acclaimed book called MEAN DEVIATION, published through Bazillion Points Publishing which is really the first book ever written on the progressive metal genre. The book covers the development and cycles of change within the genre and features bands like Queensryche, Fates Warning, Dream Theatre and a little Canadian band called RUSH. We talked with Jeff about his foray into book writing, his thoughts on Queensryche and Crimson Glory and talked about every single studio album RUSH ever made. Read on.... This post is dedicated to longtime RUSH photographer and associate Andrew MacNaughtan, R.I.P. - [SEBASTIAN BACH (Ex- SKID ROW) gives an in-depth and controversial chat to LRI](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2012/01/27/legendary-rock-interview-with-sebastian-bach/) - No matter where you are in your personal rock and roll evolution you are aware of Sebastian Bach. A naturally artistic and hyperactive kid grew into a superstar with all the stage presence of Diamond Dave and a voice as sweet as Robin Zander or as powerful as Rob Halford depending on the riff he sings over. You know all about the magazine covers, the reality shows, the bottle incident and other monkey business. None of that shit really matters at all. Not to me and probably not to Sebastian either. If you've ever had the pleasure of meeting him you know that behind the bravado is a really fun and heartfelt guy who basically tells it like it is and IT'S ABOUT THE MUSIC. Sebastian's band is incredible featuring a very young and very talented songwriter/guitarist named Nick Sterling and drum legend Bobby Jarzombek. They are coming to your city very soon to play all the songs you love from SKID ROW and plenty of material from their new album KICKING AND SCREAMING. Sebastian talked with us as he was getting ready for a very special weekend of shows with Steve Stevens and Anton Fig at Iridium Jazz Club in NYC (Live streaming on Saturday night the 28th).

This year's GIGANTOUR kicks off Jan.26 in New Jersey running all across North America promising all the same Megafun you've grown to expect since Dave and Co. debuted it in 2005. The new album is getting all the accolades Dave and company have continuously received since the landmark RUST IN PEACE album but with an added bonus, the return of longtime bassist David Ellefson. The band has been on an absolute tear on these last 3 studio albums since drummer Shawn Drover joined the band and appears poised to continue doing more than simply living up to their massive legacy. I talked to Shawn about the significance of Ellefson reuniting with Dave Mustaine, the new tour, his trial by fire entry into the band and much more.

When the band's new album came out a few months back we talked to drummer Charlie Benante and a few days ago we brought you a brand new interview with Joey. We are stoked to be bringing you our SECOND interview this week with the guys this time we talked to bassist Frank Bello!! Frank, like his Uncle/Practically brother Charlie, is multi-talented. Mr. Bello has not only cemented his reputation as one of the best bassists in metal but with spots on Law and Order and roles in film has also slowly put together a nice little acting resume as well. His latest role involves playing legendary punk rock figurehead Richard Hell in the upcoming film "Greetings From Tim Buckley" which promises to be a seriously well-written and acclaimed movie. However, before Frank starts planning a trip to Cannes there's the little matter of a kickass tour supporting the great new ANTHRAX album WORSHIP MUSIC which kicks off this month and features Death Angel and Testament. We talked to Charlie, Joey and now we are proud to bring you a very nice conversation with Frank Bello (who incidentally was totally on time).

A thrash metal icon with a background much more diverse than meets the eye, a music business survivor, a fan friendly, approachable guy who just makes you want to root for him. I love Anthrax and have always loved Anthrax but I will not lie when I say I am a Joey Belladonna supporter. In a sea of bands and singers all trying to sound demon possessed Joey set ANTHRAX apart from the pack and actually sang. The band is no longer wearing Bermuda shorts but is certainly surfing a wave of their own self-created success in 2012 . ANTHRAX capped off their appearance on the BIG 4 shows last year with the release of their latest album WORSHIP MUSIC, an album that deservedly made every "best of the year" list on earth. I recently talked with Joey about all this and more. Read on and come back later this week for a chat with bassist Frank Bello.... - [Ex SAVATAGE vocalist Zak Stevens talks about TSO, SAVA and his current band Circle II Circle](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2012/01/15/legendary-rock-interview-with-vocalist-zak-stevens-circle-ii-circle-savatage-tso/) - Zak Stevens truly appreciates his talent, the people he's worked with and the places it's taken him. As a member of SAVATAGE from 1992-2000 he worked with the band and original singer Jon Oliva to start a whole new chapter of history for the group. He and the band endured the tragic loss of Jon's brother and lead guitarist Criss Oliva and the rebirth of the band after his passing. Along the way, he's seen the surprising rise of Trans Siberian Orchestra that all started with a song written for and released on a SAVATAGE album and charted the course for his new band CIRCLE II CIRCLE who continue to tour and record. I talked to Zak about a lot....including all of that.

There's usually some intangible thing missing in so many new bands nowadays that many of us tend to tune out or get locked into our little cache of "acceptable" rockers because the new stuff just doesn't blow us away the way the classic fix did. Having said that, once in a while a new band comes along that not only has a unique sound of its' own but draws upon all the things we love about metal or rock to begin with. Edge of Paradise (Dave Bates, guitars, Margarita Monet, vocals and Gene McEwen, drums) are one of the best independent bands to come out of L.A. in some time. Google their video "Mask" or buy the album of the same name and you'll see and hear why I was all in as far as supporting the kind of rock these guys are bringing. I talked to lead vocalist Margarita Monet about her journey to the L.A. rock scene, the band's new album, video and more.

On Sirius Satellite Radio and the Howard Stern Show he is known as one of the funniest sons of bitches alive which is only reinforced by his Killers of Comedy tours with folks like labelmate and fellow metalhead Don Jamieson. Charred Walls of the Damned have recently released their second album "Cold Winds On Timeless Days" which is the follow-up to their acclaimed debut. The band plans on touring this new year and continuing to turn heads with a truly unique sound, blending ultra-heavy music with the melodic vocals of Tim "Ripper" Owens. I am a fan of the band, the show, and Richard personally so it was an absolute blast to catch up with him recently for this conversation.

As a founding member of KORN he spearheaded a new way of approaching the guitar as an instrument and is in the top 30 of GUITAR WORLD's greatest heavy metal guitarists of all time. In the 1990s Korn rose to the very top of touring and recording acts and have sold over 25 Million albums worldwide but in 2005, following the release of their greatest hits album, Brian quit the band. His addictions came close to ruining or even ending his life and Brian credits a spiritual awakening as the only thing that could rescue him. He has written a couple of acclaimed books, released an album with his new band HEAD and is currently recording a new release with producer Jasen Rauch (Breaking Benjamin, RED) while promoting his latest single "Paralyzed". I'd heard lots of things about Brian's new pursuits and new music including how he's gone from "Freak on a Leash" to "Jesus Freak" but I personally found him to simply be an incredibly open minded and interesting guy.

That said, there is no one better to tell it than band founder/drummer Lee Kundrat a.k.a Rat Skates (he was a semi-pro skateboarder, hence the "skates"). Rat and his girlfriend, (and later, wife) Lori were essentially the heartbeat of the band, driving the van, self printing T-shirts and stickers and along with bassist D.D. Verni, determining the fate of the future thrash ICONS. The story of the band is told in a quite heartfelt manner in Rat's first documentary DVD, "Born In the Basement" which set the stage for future great productions from Rat and Co., including the AMAZING movie "Get Thrashed" (an overview of the thrash genre in general) and his upcoming film, "Welcome to the Dream- The Rude Awakening of Rock Stardom". We talked with Rat about his movies, his music and of course his "Do It Yourself" ethic.

Yngwie](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2011/12/30/legendary-rock-interview-with-gary-shea-of-alcatrazz-warrior-and-new-england/) - Gary Shea is a knockout bass player and one of the easiest guys on the planet to talk to. He's probably one of the easiest to work with as well and has had the distinction of working with some of the biggest "big name" musicians on the planet. Some were supremely professional and straightforward, such as Steve Vai and Paul Stanley and others like Vinnie Vincent and Yngwie J. Malmsteen, are remembered by Gary as being supremely talented and equally notorious personality-wise. Gary Shea has headlined major venues in Alcatrazz and gotten top 40 chart action with his band New England but is a musician's musician and is more than content to live in Michigan and play music he loves just because he loves it. If you're up his way go check out one of his gigs and stick around after the show to have a quick chat with Gary. If you like music as much as he does you might be in for a long night and some amazing stories. We talked with Gary for quite a while about his career and probably barely scratched the surface.

Guns guitarist Stacey Blades talks about his playing, his bandmates and more](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2011/12/28/legendary-rock-interview-with-l-a-guns-guitarist-stacey-blades/) - Stacey Blades (yes, that's been his stage name since well before L.A. Guns) knows a thing or two about being put in a difficult position. Get to know him or his story just a little bit and you will learn a thing or two about how far he's come and how he's gotten there. The irony of a kid from Toronto, Canada dreaming Hollywood dreams only to find himself in L.A. Guns replacing founding member Tracii Guns is cinematic and romantic at first glance. Under the surface though, it has been a long road GETTING to L.A. Guns and a long road SINCE joining the band when super talent Tracii quit to chase rainbows with Nikki Sixx. Stacey has recorded several albums with the band including their last one, TALES FROM THE STRIP and a shredding solo album of classical music called SYMPHONIC SLAM. In addition, he wrote his memoirs SNAKE EYES, Confessions of a Replacement Rockstar and HE WROTE IT WITHOUT A GHOST WRITER.....unlike 95 percent of Rock Bios. The more you learn about Stacey the more you want to support the Phil Lewis led L.A. Guns and that's a good thing in this strange and often complicated tale.

Okay, we established that in part one of her exclusive interview so it goes without saying that once you enter into "Bobbie's World" (as her best friend and co-star Athena Louise put it) you can be rest assured for long and frequent phone calls, chit chats, texts, emails and above all, UNFILTERED CONVERSATION. As we stated in the last portion, she has a habit of speaking her mind and she tends to naturally get a reaction out of you rather than leave you unchanged. That's fine by us as that's the primary goal of ANY of our interviews but some entertainers just seem to be a little more open than others as is the lovely Ms. Brown. While it's slightly surreal to be in such intimate conversation with the ex-wife of one our favorite singers and the object of adolescent rock video fantasy....it is also strangely comfortable because she is so refreshingly candid and easy to talk to. We got a great response from part 1 and lots of well wishers but is always controversial. She also takes no shit and defends herself against the few people who decided she spoke a little TOO much of her mind and decided to attack HER.

Rock Scene and much more](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2011/12/18/legendary-rock-interview-with-rik-fox-ex-w-a-s-p-steeler-and-sin/) - Rik Fox has played bass guitar in some of the most groundbreaking bands in Sunset Strip history. He was there from the very beginning of W.A.S.P., coined the band's legendary name and managed to survive Blackie's hex placing ways well enough to rebound and form several other amazing bands. He met up with Ron Keel and Mark Edwards and joined the seminal L.A. band Steeler, recording their debut album along with a headstrong yet unknown young guitarist from Sweden named Yngwie J. Malmsteen, who became, in my opinion, the greatest living shredder of the modern era. All of this happened well after Rik honed his craft in the famous east coast club scene where he saw the rise of ANGEL and was a behind the scenes witness to the birth of KISS, including Ace joining the band. Suffice to say, Rik has got enough photos and stories to fill a book and intends on doing just that. We caught up with him recently and got just a little taste of what that book may include.

The guy clearly has a well noted and celebrated past but the band has been so closely watched that all of those stories have been told and retold a million times particularly since ex-vocalist Jani Lane passed away. The band parted ways with Jani a couple of years back and the remaining original members released a new album, ROCKAHOLIC with new singer Robert Mason this past year. In many ways, this "old" band is clearly focused on it's "new" future with ex-Lynch Mob vocalist Mason and it's with good reason. Having been well aware of the late Jani Lane's input and songwriting we listened to the "new" Warrant with decidedly low expectations but were surprised to hear ROCKAHOLIC as one of the best albums in their catalog. We talked recently with Erik about his band, his business ventures and what the fans have meant to him. Read on... - [Queensryche's Sister Mary a.k.a. Pamela Moore talks mindcrime, solo career and more](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2011/12/10/legendary-rock-interview-with-pamela-moore-sister-mary-of-queensryche-and-solo-artist/) - Pamela Moore has been singing her whole life. She has made solo albums, toured with big name artists, done session work, gives vocal lessons and has played in several rock bands. However, despite such an impressive resume as a professional musician most people know her as a result of her fateful portrayal of "Suite Sister Mary" on the Queensryche albums OPERATION MINDCRIME and OPERATION MINDCRIME II. Instead of having a chip on her shoulder about it and wanting to steer people towards other topics like some artists with such a noteworthy moment might do, Pamela is more than happy to talk about her time as "Mary. Throughout our recent conversation the sweet and stunning Seattle singer made quite clear her mutual love and respect for both the Queensryche fans and band. I talked recently with Geoff Tate about Mindcrime and was totally psyched to talk again about those classic albums once again with Pamela.

Joanna Angel is unconventional in a billion ways in the "sexy" biz both onscreen and off. She has written for SPIN magazine and as a Rutgers graduate and English Lit major could probably teach most rock scribes a thing or two. She's been in front of and behind the camera in some of the edgiest porn flicks around but is openly Jewish and uses her real first name as a stage name. She's been in the New York Times and on CNBC but still takes time to give us an interview and is as TOTALLY aware of brand recognition as much as the sharpest marketer in Manhattan. If the human brain is indeed the biggest sex organ, Joanna Angel wants to turn you on. She doesn't hold back and doesn't have a censor button so if you're faint of heart or don't wanna read inside info about her gig stop reading now....we understand. If you want in... just read on..... - [ RIP & HUSTLER Magazine editor and author Lonn Friend talks about his career and his books in an in-depth chat](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2011/12/06/legendary-rock-interview-with-author-and-rip-magazine-editor-lonn-friend/) - Lonn Friend is a guy who made his mark building relationships and writing about some of the biggest music stars on the planet as the editor in chief of RIP, the BEST rock magazine of our era. He's written an acclaimed book about those years, LIFE ON PLANET ROCK, a rollercoaster ride that was followed this year by another spectacular book SWEET DEMOTION. If you've ever read Lonn's writing you're aware of his incredibly real, "you are there" vibe and his books are even more in that style. SWEET DEMOTION offers up a lot more amazing stories about a man's life in rock and roll and manages to cover even more peaks and valleys than its predecessor. I had the pleasure of a lengthy phone call with Lonn, determined to soak up as much as I could from one of my teenage idols. I came away from it with the realization that Lonn isn't just a great writer, he's also an amazing interview subject.

Go back and read it...you'll see that issues between some of the guys and years of back and forth sniping made such a reunion seem pretty far-fetched. Low and behold, we're looking through the usual news feeds and see that the original lineup of guys ARE IN FACT reuniting for a special show Dec. 30th at Key Club in Hollywood. So, being good little star chasers we hit up the talented drummer of the original Bulletboys and lined up an interview to find out more about one of our favorite bands. Be sure and check out Mick's interview too, just for shits and giggles.

If you are a rock and roll fan, even a casual observer, you are aware that is one helluva resume. If Mark Evans never did another thing in his entire life he would still rock more than 90% of us mere mortals. Ironically, Mark is very human, a nice, unassuming guy who has realized along the way that it is indeed a long way to the top but it makes for one HELL of a story after you've been there. Finally, that story of the original AC/DC can be told by someone who was actually on the inside as Mark has just released his new book, "Dirty Deeds". The book is available in North America this week and we had the pleasure of talking to Mark via a overseas phone call to Australia. He gave us an AMAZING interview.

The legendary L.A. rock band of the same name shares a lot of the same characteristics of it's animal namesake. The band has been spending recent months out playing glorious outdoor summer rock gigs and doing it better than ever. While the band has made many a hit record those who are in the know are aware that the live show is what the band does best. We recently had an in depth chat with new vocalist Terry Illous but that was heavy on conversation about his days in another L.A. band XYZ. We still had some GREAT WHITE questions after all these years of loving the band and co-founder/guitarist Mark Kendall was very gracious and answered some of them for us including the past, the recent stint with Jani Lane and where the band is headed. Read on.... - [LONDON's Nadir D'Priest talks about the Sunset Friggin Strip](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2011/11/26/london/) - London is a band whose history has been pretty well documented going all the way back to the early press quotes from Motley Crue where Nikki was constantly asked about history of forming the band in the late 70s with Lizzie Grey to the infamous appearance in director Penelope Spheeris' movie "The Decline of Western Civilization Part 2". Some people view them as a persistent pest that needs to be exterminated and some have been proud to call the London guys friends and comrades over the years. They certainly are in the marathon rather than sprint mode and many are surprised to look up the band online and find they are still actively pursuing the rock and roll path they set out on all those years ago, recently playing this past summer's Sunset Strip Music Festival ( ironically on the same bill as Motley). Along the way they have amassed quite a few stories to go along with all of those songs and we had a BLAST talking to singer and all around good guy Nadir D'Priest about his war stories. Read on.......... - [Ex- Life, Sex, Death guitarist Alex Kane talks about his Chicago roots and U.K. success in AntiProduct ](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2011/11/21/legendary-rock-interview-with-alex-kane-antiproduct-life-sex-death/) - Alex Kane is probably certifiably insane. He took nothing short of FOREVER to hook up with us for this interview which has taken a series of phone calls, emails, chats and extended waits. Having said all that, we must admit he, his band and THIS interview are all worth it. We decided to give him the career retrospective treatment in short format and covered quite a bit of ground in short time, everything from his Chicago roots and short stint in Enuff Z' Nuff (don't ask), his major label roots with early 90s attention whores LIFE SEX & DEATH and his awesome new band AntiProduct. Alex somehow manages to keep all these balls in the air, have a day job gig working with Disney show, "I'm in the Band" alum Kaitlyn Taylor Love and still find time for regular softball playdates with fellow rockers like Athena Lee. Check out our interview and check out his band AntiProduct, they actually rock as hard as he says they do, I wouldn't steer you wrong. - [Thin Lizzy guitarist Damon Johnson speaks about his Alice Cooper days, Brother Cane and classic rock ](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2011/11/16/legendary-rock-interview-with-damon-johnson-thin-lizzy-alice-cooper-brother-cane/) - I’ve interviewed a lot of artists over the years where you can sort of tell how they rose to prominence, sometimes it’s pure talent, sometimes it’s being in the right place or having a certain charisma and sometimes it is a combination of a lot of things. Guitarist Damon Johnson has all the technical skills necessary to play with legends like Thin Lizzy or Alice Cooper. It’s also obvious from speaking with him that he is a great guy who can communicate and work with people; treating them in a way that makes them enjoy being around him. In a business often filled with people whose egos far exceed their talent a person who has what Damon brings to the table is quite simply invaluable. Damon recently talked with us about being in Thin Lizzy, the band he idolized growing up, his work with Alice and what it’s like to be able to do all that and still have a solo career. Read on…. - [ Kane Roberts (ex Alice Cooper, solo artist) speaks in-depth about Alice, KISS, Desmond Child and more](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2011/11/15/legendary-rock-interview-with-kane-roberts-ex-alice-cooper-solo-artist/) - There are more layers to Kane Roberts than a lot of people would think at first glance. The same guy who was known for his musclebound "Rambo" image in the 80s and over the top hard rock/metal is also a college music major, graphic artist, video game designer and artist in general. While most famous for his work with Alice Cooper he has also released two solo albums and collaborated with hitmakers like Jon Bon Jovi and Paul Stanley. Kane recently made a return to the stage for the long running Firefest shows overseas and is once again fueling some of those creative fires. We talked with him about making those classic Alice albums, working on the REVENGE album with KISS and what it's like to write a song with Desmond Child.

KISS is my favorite band. If I hear that a past or current member of KISS is doing interviews I will cancel a doctor’s appointment, miss a dinner, and so on. I put the band on a level that noone could touch (even Cheap Trick!). I grew up in the 80s so you understand my devotion to the Gene, Eric, Paul and Bruce era. I was very, very pleased to field a phone call from Bruce recently about the new Eric Carr collection and I threw as many questions at him as we had time for. He was very gracious to this particular rabid KISSfreak, read on…. - [The Stone Chiefs' Dallas Perry talks about the N.C. music scene and recording their latest album](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2011/11/07/legendary-rock-interview-with-dallas-perry-of-the-stone-chiefs/) - We obviously deal with a lot of established stars and classic rock or metal bands but we are happy to say we have found another NEW band that’s actually worth checking out. The Stone Chiefs write guitar based rock and roll the old fashioned way. They plug in and play their live and loud gigs the old fashioned way. Having said that, they really don’t have ONE obvious influence and actually have their own FRESH sound. These are the kind of southern gentlemen that will drop your jaw with some inspired guitar licks and throaty vocals and hang out at the bar afterward with you talking your ear off. We talked with lead singer Dallas Perry about the album, their scene and more.

He made his mark with his guitar skills in SAVATAGE, got a pretty well known and high profile gig touring the world as a guitarist for THE most popular Holiday-themed live concert extravaganza ever and has also managed to shred it up on numerous solo albums and side projects. Now the high energy Mr. Caffery is getting attention for his brand new custom hot sauce TEARS OF THE SUN which is getting phenomenal reviews of its’ own. We talked to Chris about the magic of Savatage and music in general as well as his latest adventure. Read on…..

Q: Thanks for taking the time out of your busy schedule to talk to us Loretta. This new album project “Unfinished Business” has an appropriate title, it’s so great to see more recordings surface from your legendary brother. KISS fans are very excited after all this time how on earth did this come about ? A: It’s something that we’ve always wanted to do and it’s just taken a lot of time and care to get everything just right. Over the years there have been tapes of Eric that have surfaced or even people showing up on my doorstep with tapes of my brother. I really want to emphasize that all of the artists on this album are so fantastic on their own merits and we’re really proud to have them involved in bringing these tracks to the fans. - [SAXON's Biff Byford talks U.S. touring, Castle Donnington and more](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2011/10/20/legendary-rock-interview-with-biff-byford-of-saxon/) - "It's never too late" was what Biff Byford told me about becoming a new fan of his enduring metal band SAXON. It's also apparantly "never too late" for an iconic, old school metal band to release a truly top notch new album. If you're a rivethead from way back you're probably well aware of the bands legacy, nineteen albums and counting. The bands' catalog is vast and powerful, songs like "Denim and Leather" and "Motorcycle Man" haven endeared them to pretty much every band that dares to consider themself "metal" including of course Metallica. I hung my head a little bit and hid behind my typical American hard rock record collection when Biff called recently on tour. There was no need of course as Biff is one of the kindest legends in the biz. He was happy to tell me about the amazing new album and what it takes to keep such a metal monster alive after all these years.

Eric has been playing with the band in one capacity or another since doing Paul Stanley's solo tour back in '89. I have interviewed Paul and some of the other KISS guys before but had never gotten to Eric so this was a pleasure to talk to him and get the update on modern day KISStory as it happens.

The band has soldiered on through the decades, the trends, the drama and more recently the BIG 4 tour with Megadeth, Slayer and Metallica. Some long time fans of the band were starting to wonder if they’d ever see a new studio album from the band with original singer Joey Belladonna. Have no fear, faithful congregation, Brother Benante recently sat down to give us the lowdown on their new album WORSHIP MUSIC, kill a few rumors and catch us up on their upcoming tour. Read on…. (Thanks to Mitch at Bravewords and Heidi Robinson Fitzgerald PR for getting us in contact with Charlie!!) - [RATT bassist Juan Croucier breaks the chains and talks about his past in the RATT gang](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2011/10/13/interview-with-juan-croucier/) - Juan Croucier is someone who is true to his word, true to his ideals. That isn’t always practical or popular in the world of hard rock/metal but Juan has not wavered and continues to stick to his guns to this day doing things his way. Known for playing bass, singing and writing a great deal of the hits during RATT’s multiplatinum era he now runs a recording studio and still stays active with a variety of musical projects. He doesn’t do a tremendous amount of interviews so we are honored to catch up with him and get an update on where he’s been and what he’s thinking.

When I heard it was going to be with Rudy Sarzo I about spit my Lucky Charms across the room. Having interviewed some pretty amazing people over the years I can honestly say that Rudy exemplifies everything this page is about. I knew I wouldn’t have forever to talk to him so I tried to wedge in as many pertinent questions I could about Dio and his amazing career.

Over the years they've cultivated their fanbase and produced music spanning several sub-genres of rock, everything from the classic metal sound on “The Warning” to the more polished “Empire”. Of course, we're talking about a band that hates traditional categories and has made a career of sorts out of re-invention and boundary pushing. We talked to lead vocalist Geoff Tate about all this and more including their latest album, a sometimes sexy and swanky affair, “Dedicated to Chaos”.....Read on..... - [Hurricane's Robert Sarzo talks past present and future with LRI](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2011/10/04/legendary-rock-interview-with-robert-sarzo-of-hurricane/) - Mama Sarzo not only knew how to raise good kids but also really good communicators. These guys can give an interview as good as they can play a guitar or better. I was always a big fan of Robert Sarzo’s band Hurricane ever since popping “Take What You Want” into the old WALKMAN and cranking it into my preteen eardrums. When Kelly Hanson got the Foreigner gig I became much more interested in that band but still wished for Hurricane to get into the classic rock circuit and make a new album. Turns out we can enjoy both now as Hurricane has a great new lineup, some new shows and a new album on the way. We talked with Robert about the band, his time with Ozzy, his film work and much more. Read on…..(thanks to Richard Galbraith, Rudy and Robert Sarzo for the photos) - [NEW ENGLAND drummer Hirsh Gardner talks about being produced by Paul Stanley, touring with KISS and much more](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2011/10/04/legendary-rock-interview-with-hirsh-gardner-producer-and-drummer-of-70s-hard-rockers-new-england/) - The hard rock band NEW ENGLAND was formed in 1976 in the Boston area (of course!!) and rose to top 40 status on the heels of their single "DON'T EVER WANNA LOSE YA". Paul Stanley (KISS) and Mike Stone (Queen) produced their self-titled debut album and the band toured extensively and released two subsequent albums, both different in their own way. After the band's breakup all of the members went on to continue working in music, releasing solo albums and playing in bands like Alcatrazz. Drummer Hirsh Gardner turned a love of the studio into a new professional venture and recently talked with us about what he's up to and of course about the great late 70s!!

The answer? They sound like they look; amazing, chaotic, violent, sexy and pissed off. Hear them for yourself via their social media pages, you tube and the usual suspects but by all means see if you can check out the live show everyone is talking about. Voted as one of the hottest bands by Revolver magazine they have a live set that is part KISS, part Stooges, part Zombie and rounded out by a more than healthy dose of the Plasmatics. Butcher babies are gonna get your attention whether you like it or not. We talked to the deceptively nice Carla Harvey about her life, her attitude and her sick little rock band.

He made a big impression on many with his band XYZ who debuted with the MTV hit “Inside Out” and self-titled debut album. Other albums followed of course and the band is still active today and will be performing as part of the big upcoming “MONSTERS OF ROCK” cruise along with many other Legendary Rock Interview alumnii. Recently, Terry has been putting permanent smiles on the faces of the people coming to see him sing with legendary rockers GREAT WHITE. We had the pleasure of a phone call from Terry recently to talk about his recent work with the big fish and he also answered a lot of my questions about XYZ.

Granted, his job of being a lead vocalist for a bunch of rock bands may be a little cooler than say working at a chain restaurant but still.....he's a worker. Noone will ever accuse Jason of going halfass into anything either as EVERY, single band he is in kicks mucho burro. Don't believe us? Put on the track “Viva La Rock Fantastico” from his band Broken Teeth and try to stand still. We talked to Jason about the good ol' days of Dangerous Toys and what he's been up to lately....READ ON..... - [White Lion's Greg D'Angelo talks about his his bandmates, time in Anthrax and much more](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2011/09/02/legendary-rock-interview-with-greg-dangelo-of-white-lion-stephen-pearcy-band/) - White Lion truly scaled the heights of the rock world during their reign. Big tours, big albums, even respect from other musicians and critics. Then they disappeared. Since they left a big gaping hole in the melodic rock community it's been very difficult to track down the guys for interviews and they've gone their own way. We were truly pleased Greg D'Angelo agreed to talk to us recently. He's never stopped playing of course, appearing with great bands like Alex Kane (Life Sex, Death) and his group Antiproduct and recently serving as the drummer for Stephen Pearcy. We talked to Greg about what he's been up to and of course where he's been. Read on.......... - [ L.A.

Guns....If you paid attention to anything coming out of the west coast scene in the last 20 plus years you already realize their importance. Band founder Tracii Guns has been at it for decades now and shows absolutely no signs of slowing down or losing his tasteful, unique style. He is one of my favorite guitarists of any era and it is always a pleasure to catch up....Read on... - [Vains of Jenna's Jacki Stone talks Swedish rock, Stevie Rachelle and more](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2011/09/01/legendary-rock-interview-with-jacki-stone-of-vains-of-jenna/) - We usually find ourselves interviewing a lot of older bands but that's NOT because we don't really LIKE any new acts here at Legendary Rock Interviews. Vains Of Jenna are a newer band that have been quietly building a reputation as one of the better real rock and roll acts out there. The band is part of the new wave of sleaze rock acts that are gonna keep this thing going and are a band that should be on EVERYONE'S radar by now.....Read on.

Donnie is currently spending his days writing, recording and touring with Donnie Vie Band who are getting set to release a new album called “Wrapped Around My Middle Finger”. We recently sat down with Donnie to talk about his past, present and future.....read on. - [Pretty Boy Floyd guitarist Kristy "Krash" Majors talks to LRI about Leather Boys, Electric Toys and much more](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2011/08/15/legendary-rock-interview-with-kristy-krash-majors-of-pretty-boy-floyd/) - Kristy Krash Majors knows his band's always been an underdog, the dirty little sister of the hard rock community. The guitarist for Pretty Boy Floyd, the guy behind their debut video/single “Rock and Roll (Is Gonna Set The Night on Fire) admits that his band may be on a lot of people's “Guilty Pleasures” list. I'm not guilty about shit, I love the band and have since they reset the glam clock in 1989 with their now notorious debut, Leather Boyz With Electric Toyz. They were signed by MCA, made the cover of KERRANG in the U.K., toured Japan and lived the rock and roll life only to get dropped by their label, reform and do it all over again. They are raw, glam, nasty, in your face and more persistent than a cockroach with herpes.

She even dated Sam Kinison. Those who follow the steamy side of Hollywood often speak about the “Golden Era” of the XXX business. They generally bring up the days of “Deep Throat” on the big screen, lavish adult productions, the dawn of the VHS industry and stars like Seka, John Holmes, and Vanessa Del Rio. She was the original Jenna Jameson. We got a chance to talk to Seka, a.k.a. Dorotheia Patton about her life, her career and found her answers to be almost as revealing as her movies.

We were HONORED to talk to bassist Felix Robinson who was so gracious to give us yet another in-depth interview.

Keni Richards is known as something of a character, an interesting cat and lately, as a working artist. He has a ton of stories about the music biz and many of them AREN'T from the 80s. He was David Lee Roth's main man/jogging partner, toured with Motley and IS friends with Jerry Cantrell and Mark Lanegan. He's been through hell and back with substances and was treated by Dr. Drew way before celebrity rehab. He's lived and loved at 100 miles per hour. The paintings he creates reflect the wild past - [TUFF's Stevie Rachelle of talks about skateboarding, glam metal and a little sludge on the side](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2011/08/01/legendary-rock-interview-with-stevie-rachelle-of-tuff-metalsludge-tv/) - It's an honor for us to present a Q&A with Mr. Stevie Rachelle of Tuff and the world's greatest website Metal Sludge. As a singer, he fronted one of our favorite late 80s, early 90s bands Tuff to MTV stardom and as an interviewer/webmaster he is influential to the point that other sites won't even admit. Tuff has reunited for some special shows to honor the anniversary of their debut album and Stevie chatted with us about all that and more....read on...(All photos from Stevie's personal stash) - [Director Penelope Spheeris talks about upcoming books, Decline of Western Civilization, Wayne's World and more](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2011/07/20/legendary-rock-interview-with-penelope-spheeris-director-of-decline-of-western-civilization-and-waynes-world/) - Penelope Spheeris warped my brain as a kid with the amazing Decline of Western Civilization series and then later with her landmark smash Wayne's World. So you can imagine the amount of questions I had ready for her when she agreed to do a phone interview with us. She was funny, witty and didn't back down from any question and even asked a few of her own while talking with LRI. Consider this piece you're about to read as Part I since we've already agreed to do an even more music-focused interview next year when her Decline DVD series is finally available....Read on.

Literally. Like a rebuilt muscle car with some new guts but all original leather, the legendary band The Godz continues to chug on and is currently planning shows and releasing a new album, "Last of the Outlaws". This group toured with KISS, Priest, and basically any band that mattered over the years. They were part of the rock and roll arm of Casablanca records and are not only still alive to tell the tale but still aggressively interested in creating new music. We spoke to longtime Godz singer/guitarist Eric Moore and bassist/guitarist Vinnie Salvatore about the old, the new and what rock and roll's DNA really is....read on - [STARZ guitarist Richie Ranno talks 70s rock, Aucoin Management, KISS and much more](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2011/07/15/legendary-rock-interview-with-richie-ranno-of-starz/) - He's played on Gene Simmons' solo album, had a top 40 hit with "Cherry Baby" and been cited as an influence of everyone who made millions in the "hair nation" world. If you haven't heard of the band Starz it's not too late to have a new obsession. Starz was an amazing hard rock band that put out a series of albums on Capitol Records starting with their self titled debut (they have recently been reissued by RYKO with expanded editions). This band is the real deal... and has been lauded by artists like Billy Corgan, Jon Bon Jovi and even referred to by some as "Motley Crue before there was a Motley Crue".....Read on... - [KING KOBRA's PAUL SHORTINO talks Quiet Riot, Rough Cutt and the new King Kobra](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2011/07/14/legendary-rock-interview-with-paul-shortino-of-king-kobra-quiet-riot-and-rough-cutt/) - Paul Shortino is a huge talent. It could be argued that he is one of the most talented vocalists to emerge from the hard rock soaked 1980s. It is not by luck or coincidence that Paul ended up being discovered by Ronnie James Dio, hired by Quiet Riot or asked to front the new King Kobra. We recently talked to Paul about his career, his life and even that scene in Spinal Tap that continues to follow him.

A: I'm working on a One Man Show that is basically fucked up stories about my life. Also, I have a movie coming out June 24 called A Little Help with Jenna Fischer of the Office and Chris O' Donnell. Q: A lot of people probably know you best from sitting around high off their ass watching cable TV at night....you've starred in Crank Yankers , Inside the NFL and of course That Metal Show. Those of us who are more cultured know you as being one of Howard Stern's favorite crank callers. How did you get involved with Howard/Sirius which is every comedians dream? What do you think the song parodies of your friend Robin or the impressions they did of you on the show while you were dating? A: I made up a CD of my Crank Calls and sent it into the show and they started playing them the next day. I never thought they would and next thing you know I got the gig on Crank Yankers because of it. All of the Robin song parodies are funny and I consider it an honor that Fred would do an impression of me!! - [Bulletboys guitarist Mick Sweda shoots on the MTV era, King Kobra and much more](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2011/07/05/legendary-rock-interview-with-mick-sweda-of-bulletboys-and-king-kobra/) - Mick Sweda's career has sort of come full circle. He started his playing and recording in the biz with Carmine Appice's King Kobra and played on those first two albums beginning with "Ready to Strike". Later his guitar wizardry reached an even greater audience with the Bulletboys. He experienced bigtime MTV success, bigtime touring with bands like Cinderella and Cheap Trick and ultimately experienced the bigtime bullshit that sometimes comes with all that. Now, Mick is promoting his work on the NEW King Kobra, working on stuff in his recording studio and most of all busy with a new baby and life on diaper duty. - [FREE's Andy Fraser talks about his new charity and much more](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2011/07/02/legendary-legendary-rock-interview-withrock-interview-with-andy-fraser-of-70s-classic-rockers-free/) - We're proud to present this interview with Andy Fraser (co-founder and songwriter of classic rock band FREE).

The album, self titled, rounds up the original Kobra guys and adds the amazing pipes of Paul Shortino to sweeten the deal and we talked to Johnny Rod and Mick Sweda about it as well as lead guitarist David Michael Phillips a.k.a. David Henzerling. David was heavily involved in the songwriting and production of the album so we wanted to get his take on the snake and who better???

He's a survivor of the seventies' most notorious record label hands down, CASABLANCA Records. When we heard about Larry's book "And Party Every Day- An Inside Look at Casablanca Records" we knew we had to chat with him. There's no way to boil down the whole essence of the book into one short interview so instead we asked him a few pointed questions and got a few pointed answers, he did not hold back.....read on - [FREHLEY'S COMET Tod Howarth talks Ace, 707 and touring with Cheap Trick](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2011/06/14/legendary-rock-interview-with-tod-howarth-of-frehleys-comet-and-cheap-trick/) - Tod Howarth is an awesome musician and one of the nicest guys in the biz you will ever meet.

Gerbert talks about Ace, Angel and his books](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2011/06/02/legendary-rock-interview-with-authormusician-and-kiss-insider-gordon-g-g-gerbert/) - Gordon G.G. Gerbert spent a great chunk of time as Ace Frehley's friend before a well publicized falling out. His history with Ace as well as his stories about music as both an insider and fellow musician are told in books like "KISS and TELL" and "Rock and Roll War Stories". While others like girlfriend Wendy Moore have taken stabs at writing tell all ACE books it must be noted that Gordon spent a great deal more time actually dealing with Ace over the years as did his co-author Bob McAdams. Ace's own book, "No Regrets" is due out in a week so you can maybe pick up both and do a little reading about our favorite ROCK SOLDIER. We talked to Gordon about KISS including Ace, his controversies and even his time in the reformed version of ANGEL.

A: You're right, John. The Chicago scene has always been more of an UNscene, which is why I did best in the underground. It’s a bit artsy- indie. I learned quickly that being the charming darlings of the city means very little here. I broadened my sights to use Chicago as more of a centrally located base logistically for the band. I love being here more than ever now. Smashing Pumpkins are the only band I can think of that changed/morphed and got signed but that was cuz Shanahan put them on every single good bill that came to caberet metro. - [W.A.S.P. and King Kobra bassist Johnny Rod talks touring, recording and more](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2011/05/30/legendary-rock-interview-with-johnny-rod-of-w-a-s-p-and-king-kobra/) - Johnny Rod is a wild man. On or off the stage, he is the SAME guy. High energy, great attitude and great musical talent have landed him in some pretty good company over the years. He of course got on the map with King Kobra, a buzzsaw of metal crossed with a pop/aor approach. He then found his way into one of metal's baddest bands W.A.S.P. who saw all that energy and talent when Kobra was opening for them. We had a very nice and revealing chat with Johnny about his past in both bands and his involvement with the new re-charged King Kobra.

A: Ace got great response on his show, but there are still many new ones to come and he was one of many great guests. I am not worried about what people think. Everyone should have the right to be a fan and say how they feel honestly. God knows I take my shots every day from people! There has been no bigger Kiss fan than me or supporter for decades. But what I have always done on TV and Radio for decades is speak how I feel as a fan. I have supported and loved every era of Kiss, but this was a line crossed for me. I still love the band and NEVER said Tommy or Eric should not be in it! But I can't watch them impersonate Ace and Peter, and its more offensive when it's positioned that "nobody cares who's behind the makeup". - [RIPT bassist Greg Utley talks to LRI about Sony Records deal, new shows and more](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2011/05/16/legendary-rock-interview-with-greg-utley-of-ript/) - RIPT rose out of the same Illinois scene that produced Cheap Trick a decade earlier. Finding their way and slugging it out in clubs through the late eighties they eventually released an AMAZING album and landed support spots alongside fellow hard rocking guitarists like ACE FREHLEY and Jake E. Lee's Badlands. The album is available on SONY Records Dark Star label and is available on iTunes and Amazon.com for digital downlad. If you are a fan of bands like KISS, Guns N' Roses, AC/DC or Dirty Looks it will NOT disappoint you! We recently talked to resident crazyass and bassist Greg Utley as the band was preparing to reunite for some shows and new recordings, read on....(photo help from Mr. Jeff Aden, Todd Reicher and Tom Leu) - [Love/Hate's Jizzy Pearl talks books, L.A.

Guns tour. Suffice it to say, that has been a while, you've put out albums, books, joined RATT for quite a few years and then joined and left L.A. Guns again.

One of the best "new" bands out nowadays also has roots in our little midwestern region so when we found out we'd be interviewing the band we knew we would have plenty to talk about. These guys are getting ready to release a brand new album and have been gigging and recording at the same time. It's a pretty safe bet to say that their new album is gonna hunt you down and have its' way way with you.

"MTV" era and were true frriends to the KISS fans. Eric (R.I.P.) would be proud to know that Bruce is still flying the flag for that era of KISS when few others are and still putting out great music. We were glad to talk to him...read on... - [WARRANT guitarist Joey Allen talks touring, guitars and new recordings with LRI](https://www.legendaryrockinterviews.com/2011/05/01/legendary-rock-interview-with-joey-allen-of-warrant/) - Warrant's lead guitarist Joey Allen caught up with us as the band was getting ready to release their latest CD, Rockaholic.

You played the Metrocentre and debuted a song called "Uncle Toms Cabin" which went over well....lol.....needless to say a lots happened since then so catch us up with what you have goin on now, feel free to plug anything......
