Recycling is good, kids. Sometimes that even applies to song titles, as we look at pairs of tunes that share a title. Totally random example: "The Promise" is a fantastic song by both The Numbers and When In Rome. OK, we can't get anything past you. That wasn't random, because our Third Lads this week just so happen to be Terry & Larry Tutor from the aforementioned Numbers. L.A.-by-way-of-Texas band The Numbers cut some absolutely crucial singles between 1963 and 1967, as well as a couple of highly sought after albums. They were truly ahead of their time, crossing paths with The Who (whom they sued to , The Easybeats, Billy Gibbons, and the Grateful Dead. They were originally shoo-ins to be cast as The Monkees. Although they didn't get their due in their time, their influence on legions of power pop bands that followed is immeasurable. That is, of course, if you were to believe the extraordinarily detailed, myth-building liner notes and discography on the back of The Numbers' album Anthology '64-'67 , released on Bomp! subsidiary label Voxx Records in 1983. Truth is, the band, led by twin brothers Terry & Larry were barely old enough to remember the '60s. Yet, proudly wearing their influences on their paisley sleeves, they created one of the best, most collectible releases of the era (that part's true). Anthology is prime 1983 mod/power pop - brilliantly crafted, melodically rich, and harmonically deep pop music. Although the Tutors would only release one Numbers album in the '80s, they would morph into the "electrified Americana" of The Bordersnakes. Fast forward to 2025 (prompted by a rediscovery by YouTuber Matthew Street), The Numbers released their first new album under that moniker in more than 42 years, Mad Day Out (Bomp! Records). It finds the band with all of their strengths firmly intact, a chiming, harmony-filled blend of joyous folk rock and power pop. The guys say that this is the most fun they've ever had on a podcast...and who are we to argue with that? Plus, for those of who are into O3L games, we've got TWO for you this episode: "O3L by the Numbers", a Price Is Right-style trivia game; and "Twintuition", in which our twin guests reveal how much they know about each other. Turns out it's a lot! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

S9E 16 of The Story of Rock and Roll radio show went out live from the TSORR studio in Myoli Beach on the 16th of April 2026. It was a tough show for me, very emotional. It was dedicated to Nigel Stock, a friend and business partner, a mentor, an inspiration, and an exceptional human being who befriended me 33 years ago. Nigel passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, 11 April 2026, and I am forever grateful that I had a perfect day with him earlier that very day. The show was dedicated to Nigel, and those of you who knew him will probably get quite a lot out of it. For those who didn't, the music should carry you through. He will be sorely missed. Rest in peace, Nigel. Thank you for everything.

S9E15 went out live from the TSORR Studio on Myoli Beach on 9 Apr 2026 at 19h00 on Bulldogs Radio. The podcast is great, but the live show was a struggle because of the internet failure, and the whole Garden Route went down. Then it came back, and it went down for about half an hour, and you just lose your momentum with the live audience. The joys of a country that refuses to allow us to have Star Link as a back up. The diabolical challenge featured Billy Gibbons, Zakk Wylde, Sammy Hagar and Jerry Cantrell. The Immortals featured Dragon Force. I had a very interesting chat to GAZ and played his brand new track which will be released on 17 Apr.

This week on the SeanGeek and FastFret Podcast, Sean and Todd welcome a very special guest: Corey Morrissette, a multi-show podcaster whose passion for music and pop culture runs as deep as ours. We kick things off talking about Chaz Charles — a titan of the podcasting world who hosts an impressive stable of shows — and how Corey came to collaborate with Chaz, Wolfie, and Scott on The Elder Podcast, a show built around the legendary KISS concept album. It's a great conversation about what it means to love a piece of music enough to dig into it week after week.From there, we get into some housekeeping of our own. We walk you through our updated Patreon tiers and what each one gets you, because we want to make sure our community knows how to support the show — and what you get in return. Whether you're a Certified Geek, a TrueGeek, or a Supreme Geek, there's a tier for you at patreon.com/seangeekpodcast.We also revisit one of our favourite recent episodes — Heath McCoy's appearance on the show, where we dove deep into the history of Stampede Wrestling. It's the kind of conversation we love having, and if you missed it, it's well worth going back to listen.In a bit of a left turn, we spend some time on a genuinely fascinating real-world topic: gunshot detection technology. We talk through how systems like ShotSpotter work, how they help police identify the direction of gunfire and respond more quickly, and what the data is actually showing in neighborhoods where the technology has been deployed. It's the kind of story that sounds technical on the surface but turns out to be pretty compelling once you get into it.Oh, and Todd's theme song? We tried. We really did. We'll leave it at that. But it does lead into a great conversation about wrestling entrance music — which bands should be walking out to what themes, and which ones actually fit. Corey has opinions. Strong ones.From there we get into Bon Jovi, and specifically into Jon Bon Jovi's well-documented vocal struggles following throat surgery. It's not a pile-on — it's an honest conversation about what happens when time catches up with rock royalty, and what it means when a frontman who built a career on that voice is clearly not the same performer he once was.We also dig into the current state of concert-going — ticket prices, opening acts, and the increasingly difficult math of deciding whether a show is worth it. With Motley Crue and Creed both coming through Winnipeg, we have some thoughts on where the bar is these days and whether it's being cleared.We close out Part One with a deep dive into ZZ Top — specifically the Eliminator era, the ongoing debate about drum machines versus live drums in their recordings, and what the future might hold for a Corey-led ZZ Top season of Ultimate Catalog Clash. Plus, a quick appreciation for Billy Gibbons, who at 76 years old remains one of the coolest human beings on the planet.Part Two is coming soon, and we promise it's worth the wait.Support the show at patreon.com/seangeekpodcast.

Nico Chona est un guitariste dʹexception. La presse spécialisée lui consacre régulièrement dʹimportants articles à lʹinstar de Guitare Xtreme Magazine qui écrit ceci : Son style authentique mais plein de finesse encapsule toute lʹessence du rock américain, de Duane Allman et Dickey Betts en passant par Billy Gibbons et Johnny Winter. À la tête de la chaîne YouTube à succès Tone Factory, Nico vit surtout son aventure sur scène à longueur dʹannée avec son groupe qui tourne dans toute lʹEurope. Nico est lʹun des rares guitaristes que jʹai pu observer en studio qui soit capable de rentrer des solos en une seule prise avec une telle intensité, y compris dans le cadre dʹune session live face à une légende telle que Robben Ford.

While it would be easy to categorize the work of OTIS as Southern Rock, being from Kentucky, their musical background is much broader. In addition to being guided by the classic rock giants of the 1960s and 70s era, the members of OTIS draw inspiration from true greats—people like Muddy Waters, Leadbelly, and the artists of Motown—to create their own unique rock and roll sound.With Boone Froggett on guitar and vocals, John Seeley on bass, Alex Wells on guitar, and Dale Myers on drums, the members of The Otis Band are staying connected to their Kentucky roots. Growing up around traditional instruments like piano, fiddle, and guitar instilled in them an appreciation for country-rock, bluegrass, gospel, and folk music. Kentucky's rich musical heritage led them to discover the Rock and Blues heroes that continue to influence the bands original material.After releasing Tough Times: A Tribute to John Brim,—Former Chess Records Blues Recording Artist— in 2014, OTIS joined Cleopatra Records in 2017, with the release of their second album Eyes of the Sun. A chance meeting with ZZ Top's Billy F. Gibbons led to the legend listening to Otis and becoming a fan—even handing their albums off to the likes of Buddy Guy and Jeff Beck! Four songs from Eyes of the Sun were also included in the soundtrack of the 2020 film Street Survivors.OTIS has a new track out called I'm Wicked part of a forthcoming album out sometime in 2026!For more on the band checkout their website! https://theotisband.com

EPISODE 234 I was recently at a music concert at the Troubadour in Los Angeles, California with a friend of mine who is a Hollywood actress. It was a concert featuring Robby Krieger of the Doors and Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top. Billy Gibbons said during the concert being a good performer depends on the “tuning” of your guitar and your “timing” playing on time with the rest of the band. “It's all about tuning and timing.” Billy Gibbons Like good music, a good life for you emerges when you are both in tune and on time. How do you practice tuning and timing in your own life?

Billy Gibbons was on Jay Mohr's podcast recently and was asked about an offer that was made to ZZ Top back in the '80s, when they played constantly on radio and MTV. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
EPISODE 233 I was recently in Los Angles, California, to see a music concert at the Troubadour. A friend of mine, a Hollywood actress, joined me for the concert at Troubadour. It was a concert including featuring Robby Krieger of the Doors and Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top.Like most great venues, it has rules, and like most rules, they only matter when they suddenly apply to you. As we passed through security, her purse was searched and a forbidden item was discovered: chewing gum. The security team informed her that chewing gum was not allowed inside. She was asked to give it up.She could throw it away and leave it with security and pick it up after the concert. She choose to leave her chewing gum with security. However, some point, she made an empowered decision. She was going to get her gum back. She left the club, retrieved the gum from security, walked back to her car, placed it safely inside, and then returned to the venue. Only then could she relax and enjoy the show with me. She applied “The Chewing Gum Principles.” “The Chewing Gum Principles provide a sense of empowered control over your own life within your own boundaries with you being responsible for you own actions.” How can you use the Chewing Gum Principles in your own life? Using the Chewing Gum Principles and always being aware of your own personal boundaries, being responsible for your own actions and always be empowered allows you to create a positive impact in your own life. Even if someone tries to take away your chewing gum. Out There on the Edge of Everything®… Stephen Lesavich, PhD Copyright © 2025 by Stephen Lesavich, PhD. All rights reserved.

Chasing Tone - Guitar Podcast About Gear, Effects, Amps and Tone
Brian, Blake, and Richard are joined by a true Six String Legend for Episode 588 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - It's a Trapp! We talk tone, tunes, and teaching with Nashville legend Guthrie Trapp Despite some tech issues (we are looking at you Jeff Bezos) the guys are joined by a total Nashville legend and all-round nice guy, Guthrie Trapp, and Brian contemplates whether he needs his Johnson rod adjusted. Guthrie has more stories than Brian has goats and you are going to love this episode as we start off with an honest appraisal of what it takes to really make money out of music. Guthrie has a unique way of looking a the guitar and briefly tells us about it before giving us some unique insight into his guitar clinics and Richard's interest is piqued. This then turns into a conversation about food and then about roots and folk music. And Wales. This is a very special episode and we are very grateful to Guthrie for his time. We should mention that there are a few casual swears in this weeks episode so we have marked it Explicit but it is mild and infrequent. Billy Gibbons, John Fogerty, Loch Lomand, Battered Mars Bars, Mark Knopfler...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!More Guthrie HERE: https://guthrietrapp.com/Sign up for the new course from Guthrie here also...We are on Patreon now too!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast)Awesome Courses and DIY mods:https://www.guitarpedalcourse.com/https://www.wamplerdiy.com/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/@chasingtonepodcastFind us at:https://www.wamplerpedals.com/https://www.instagram.com/WamplerPedals/https://www.facebook.com/groups/wamplerfanpage/Support the show
Few names shine as brightly in the story of American rock and roll as Dion DiMucci. Known to fans worldwide simply as Dion, this Bronx-born legend isn't just another voice from the golden age of doo-wop—he's one of the few artists who managed to bridge the gap between early rock, blues, folk, and contemporary roots music. With a career spanning more than six decades, Dion has gone from street-corner harmony to global acclaim, influencing generations along the way.Born in 1939, in the Bronx, Dion grew up surrounded by rhythm, radio, and raw emotion. Those bustling city streets were alive with music—doo-wop groups harmonizing on stoops, gospel voices in local churches, and the pulse of rhythm and blues drifting from open windows. That mix became Dion's musical DNA.As a teenager, Dion formed Dion and the Belmonts, named after a Bronx street. Their blend of silky harmonies and streetwise swagger set them apart from other vocal groups of the era. Songs like “I Wonder Why,” “A Teenager in Love,” and “Where or When” became instant classics—defining the sound of late 1950s rock and roll and turning Dion into a household name.Breaking Out Solo with “Runaround Sue” and “The Wanderer”When Dion went solo in 1960, he didn't miss a beat. His breakout single “Runaround Sue” soared to number one, followed closely by “The Wanderer.” With its unforgettable swagger and sing-along chorus, “The Wanderer” captured Dion's street-smart confidence and has since become one of the most covered songs in rock history.These weren't just catchy pop tunes—they were the soundtrack of youth in postwar America. Dion's voice carried a blend of toughness and tenderness that spoke to millions. He was the rebel with heart, the Bronx kid who brought soul and honesty to early rock 'n' roll.Like many stars of his generation, Dion faced personal struggles as fame took its toll. The pressures of the road and the darker side of the music industry led to battles with addiction. But in classic Dion fashion, he turned those hardships into growth. After finding sobriety and rediscovering his faith in the late 1960s, Dion re-emerged with a deeper, more introspective sound.His 1968 hit “Abraham, Martin and John” marked a turning point. A moving tribute to Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr., and the Kennedy brothers, the song revealed a new side of Dion—soulful, reflective, and socially aware. It became one of the defining tracks of its era, reminding fans that Dion wasn't just a rock singer—he was a storyteller with something meaningful to say.Rediscovering the BluesThrough the '70s and beyond, Dion continued to evolve, diving deep into his earliest musical love—the blues. Albums like “Bronx in Blue” (2006) and “Son of Skip James” (2007) showed a raw, authentic artist at work. His 2020 release “Blues with Friends” brought together an all-star lineup including Bruce Springsteen, Billy Gibbons, Paul Simon, and Jeff Beck. The record earned rave reviews, proving that Dion's voice and songwriting remain as powerful and relevant as ever.Dion's influence stretches across generations. From Bob Dylan and Lou Reed to Bruce Springsteen, countless artists have cited him as a major inspiration. His ability to blend doo-wop sweetness, rock grit, and blues soul has kept his music timeless—and his storytelling authentic.In '89, Dion was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, cementing his status as one of the genre's founding fathers. But more than awards or accolades, Dion's true legacy lies in his unwavering authenticity. He's never chased trends; he's chased truth.In an age where musical fads come and go, Dion's story reminds us what staying power really looks like. His career is a masterclass in reinvention. Whether he's singing about heartbreak, hope, or redemption, Dion remains one of rock's most honest voices.Six decades on, the Bronx-born rock legend is still doing what he's always done best—telling stories that sound like they were written just for you.
Dave Lee — founder of Signal Snowboards and creator of Cardboard Sessions — has turned a wild idea into a full-blown creative movement. What began as experiments in building snowboards and skateboards out of cardboard with Ernest Packaging evolved into playable guitars, basses, and drum kits. The result is Cardboard Sessions, a YouTube series where world-class musicians jam on fully functional cardboard instruments, blending craftsmanship, sustainability, and pure curiosity into one inventive concept.A former pro snowboarder, Lee brings his same fearless “let's try it” attitude to music and design. Each session captures spontaneous performances by artists like Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, exploring what happens when expectations are stripped away — and replaced by creativity and play. Behind the fun lies serious engineering: layered cardboard, bio-resin, and pro-grade hardware combine to make instruments that don't just look cool but sound surprisingly great.More than a gimmick, Cardboard Sessions celebrates innovation, sustainability, and the joy of collaboration. Lee's message is simple but powerful: when you mix passion with experimentation, you can turn almost anything — even cardboard — into art. It's a refreshing reminder for creators of all kinds that the best ideas often start with a “what if?” and a willingness to build something just for the love of it.

The Jay Franze Show: Your backstage pass to the entertainment industry
A trunk ride with Billy Gibbons, a pair of “blessed” boots, and the moment a lyric became a band name—this one has stories. We sit down with American Mile's Eugene Rice for a fast, funny, and unfiltered tour through the making of a modern Southern rock band built on grit, harmony, and a never-quit work ethic. From a Vermont town of 1,500 to SoCal stages, Eugene traces the path: sleeping in rehearsal spaces, selling a bike to buy an RV, and logging 200+ dates a year—often in four-hour marathons that would break most bands. He breaks down how “American Mile” emerged mid-take with producer Keith Nelson (Buckcherry), why a bison ended up on the merch table, and how thrift-store scarves became a signature stage move that also solved the hated-iPad problem.We get into sound and influence—Allman Brothers and Skynyrd bones with modern threads from The Black Crowes and Blackberry Smoke. Eugene spotlights the B3 and harmony vocals as secret sauce, plus the rotating “fifth member” who steps in for showcases. Then it gets practical: the economics of LA gigs, the reality of casino anchors, and why a vintage guitar day job keeps the dream alive and the tone honest. He opens the hood on the business too—band democracy, equal pay, and a vesting path to ownership that rewards the grind—while telling road-war stories about blown control arms, stolen catalytic converters, and welding fixes that saved shows.Underneath the laughs and lore sits a clear message: the American dream is still there if you work for it. Mentors matter. Systems matter. Saying yes matters. If you're building a band, a creative career, or any longshot, you'll leave with playbook-level tactics and renewed fight.

I remember seeing the Edge and James Hetfield with an Explorer. Billy Gibbons and Jimi Hendrix with a Flying V. Johnny Winter and Allen Collins with a Firebird… Such fascinating tones from such fascinating players. Of course I wouldn't call these guitars traditional by any stretch of the imagination. Simply put… they look awkward, clunky, and like something out of a sci-fi movie. That said… I currently own the Gibson versions of an Explorer… Flying V… and Firebird… and they are probably some of the best sounding guitars I own.But… Why did these guitars fail early in production? Were they before their time? What keeps them from being popular now? Are they built any different than a Les Paul? Do they have a unique sound? What artists are using them? Are they worth having in a guitar collection? Can they be a guitar players #1? And size… Do they fit in the trunk of my car?Well we will discuss this, and more on this group therapy session with Barber, on the Tweed Couch.

Tim Montana is a maverick in the hard rock world. Born in a trailer off-the-grid in Montana, Tim's journey is nothing short of extraordinary. At barely eighteen, he left his home state with a relentless drive to pursue music. From performing on The Late Show with David Letterman as an independent artist to collaborating with legends like Billy Gibbons and Kid Rock, Tim has carved out a niche that's all his own. His breakout single, "Devil You Know," was hailed as one of the best rock songs of 2023 by LoudWire, and he's been recognized as an “On The Verge Artist” by iHeartRadio. In this episode, Tim shares stories from his tumultuous upbringing, his rise to fame, and his incredible experiences with icons like Dave Grohl and Charlie Sheen. Tim's journey doesn't stop at music. He and Billy Gibbons recently purchased the historic Wise River Club in Montana, bringing him full circle back to his roots. Inspired by his return home, Tim is gearing up to release his 2024 album, "Savage," which promises to hit harder and louder than ever. We dive into the making of this highly anticipated album, the inspiration behind the title track, and what fans can expect from his upcoming tours with rock heavyweights like Staind, Seether, and Jerry Cantrell of Alice In Chains.
