Podcast appearances and mentions of bob mayo

My guest is legendary bassist, Stanley Sheldon. Stanley and I do a deep dive into Peter Frampton's iconic "Do You Feel Like We Do" and compare the 1973 studio version from "Frampton's Camel" with Rick Wills on bass and Mick Gallagher on keyboards, with the live version from "Frampton Comes Alive," recorded in Plattsburgh, NY in November 1975, with Stanley on bass and the great Bob Mayo on keyboards. The great Siomos was the drummer on both versions, as well as all the classic Peter Frampton songs. Stanley shares the story of auditioning for Peter Frampton in his hotel room in Los Angeles, meeting John Siomos and Bob Mayo for the first time at rehearsal at SIR in New York and the legendary rhythm section he and John created in Peter Frampton's band, and much more!  Please subscribe to  @livefrommydrumroom !https://linktr.ee/live_from_my_drum_roomwww.youtube.com/c/JohnDeChristopherLiveFromMyDrumRoom

Episode 84 sees Bob Mayo return for a third appearance on the podcast, this time we are talking about the "point of entry" phenomena wherein the first record you hear by an artist orients your idea of what they should sound like. We talk about getting into bands like Deep Purple, Judas Priest, Cheap Trick and Iron Maiden to name a few. When you first heard Judas Priest did you then move backwards through their catalog, or were you there for the beginning of some of these bands? We talk about the new Iron Maiden record and what other bands are still putting out solid records as well as how being a fan of music and a collector informed how he presented the excellent reissues of his band Wargasm. Look for a second episode soon where we get into underground and thrash metal!

When you think of the greatest live albums of all time, the one at - or very near - the top of the list will be Frampton Comes Alive!, the double album that was the best selling album of 1976, and Rolling Stone magazine's choice for "Album of the Year."  While Peter Frampton was well known in rock circles for his guitar work and his previous stints with Humble Pie and the Herd, his solo work was catapulted into the stratosphere with this live album.Much of the album was recorded in the summer and fall of 1975 at Winterland in San Francisco and the Long Island area of New York.  In addition to Peter Frampton on lead vocals, guitar and "talk box,"  musicians included Bob Mayo on rhythm guitar, keyboards, and vocals; Stanley Sheldon on bass and vocals; and John Siomos on drums.Frampton left Humble Pie in 1971 when the group began  to move towards a harder sound that didn't fit his style.  After many years and four studio albums as a soloist, Peter Frampton has achieved some modest success.  However, Frampton Comes Alive would change all that, not only by being the best selling album of 1976, but having so much staying power that it would be the 14th best selling album of 1977.  It would also result in an invitation for Frampton and manager Dee Anthony to President Gerald Ford's White House at the insistence of Steven Ford, the President's son.  Something's HappeningThis track leads off the album.  It originally appeared on his third studio album, also entitled "Something's Happening."  The energy of the album is obvious from the introduction on through, and the album does an excellent job balancing both the musical quality and the energy of the crowd.Doobie WahAlso originally on his third studio album, this tune feels a lot like the Doobie Brothers.  This deeper cut is a funky jam.  "Do what everybody says is wrong, I don't believe nobody takes too long.  Changing your mind, well now, let me up.  I don't believe that kind would drink my cup."Show Me the WayNow, this one has received considerable air play, and you can hear a little of Frampton's "talk box" in it.  It is the first single released from the album.  The lyrics are a man seeking guidance like a drowning person seeking a life preserver. Baby, I Love Your WayAnother popular cut from the album, this romantic cut features acoustic guitars and a mellow keyboard part.  The lyrics describe a man wanting to spend every moment with his love.  This song has been successfully covered by Will to Power and Big Mountain. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Get the Funk Out Ma Face The Brothers Johnson (from the motion picture “Mother, Jugs and Speed”This comedy starred Bill Cosby (Mother), Raquel Welch (Jugs), and Harvey Keitel (Speed) as employees of an ambulance service. STAFF PICKS:Takin' It To the Streets by the Doobie BrothersBruce starts the staff picks with the first single from the album of the same name.  This is the first Doobie Brothers song with Michael McDonald on lead.  McDonald wrote the lyrics to this song inspired by a college essay from his sister Maureen, and the lyrics are from the perspective of a person living in poverty in the inner city. Let Your Love Flow by the Bellamy BrothersRob features a country/rock crossover written by Larry Williams in 1975.  The Bellamy brothers were session musicians from Tampa, and covered this song after Neil Diamond passed on it.  It made number 2 on the adult contemporary charts and number 21 on the country charts.  "Let your love flow like the mountain streams."  E.T.I. (Extra Terrestrial Intelligence) by Blue Oyster CultWayne's staff pick rocks out on this tune from BOC's album "Agents of Fortune."  The lyrics describe a search for UFO's and extraterrestrials in a stream-of-consciousness style.  Strange Magic by Electric Light OrchestraBrian's pick finishes off our staff picks with a softer piece from Jeff Lynne and E.L.O. off the album "Face the Music."  The song is about a captivating woman in a trippy style with the strings you have come to expect from E.L.O.   INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Breezin' by George BensonGeorge Benson's album of the same name won multiple Grammys and became one of the best selling jazz albums of all time.  This instrumental number leads off the album.

Este fin de semana en Chile hay elecciones y sin dudas son unas de las más importantes de nuestra historia reciente. ¿Por qué? Pues a raíz del estallido social de octubre del 2019 tenemos claridad y unanimidad en qué es lo que queremos cambiar en este país, partiendo por la podrida política de la élite y su funcionalidad a las espaldas del pueblo. Es la instancia que nos ha permitido levantar propuestas, movimientos y organizaciones desde nuestros territorios, con vecinas y vecinos que nos hemos encontrado en las ganas de cambiar desde adentro la raíz del problema. Entre esas tantas propuestas que salen desde nuestros barrios está la postulación al concejo municipal de Peñalolen de Félix Bezares, poblador de Lo Hermida que ha hecho una gestión cultural y territorial con la que se ganó el respeto y cariño de su comunidad mucho antes de pensar en hacer campaña para llevar sus competencias y la representación popular a la administración municipal. Con Felix conversamos precisamente por qué es importante ir a votar este fin de semana e informarse debidamente sobre el proceso antes de ir.

No pasa muy seguido, pero cada vez que se puede, disfruto conversar con la Isa o acompañar una tacita de café con algún intercambio de audios de WhatsApp, sin embargo, esta vez me reuní a conversar con La Deyabu, quien no se desmarca de la esencia de la persona detrás del seudónimo, pero es quien firma "Chakana", su segundo álbum solista. Llevo un par de semanas acompañándome con esta ofrenda de la rapera nomade hoy radicada en Valparaiso y ha sido un ejercicio interesante replantearse las ideas sobre este proceso de transformación que vivimos al percibir muchos sentimientos que hablan de lo mismo condensados en siete tracks que perfectamente podrían servir de banda sonora para cualquier serie o película que refleje lo que ocurre en esta época en este convulsionado lado del planeta. Compartimos una charla que habla de aquello, del reencuentro con nuestra identidad, del Chile pre y post estallido y de tanto más que se puede hablar con un disco como "Chakana" en la mesa que ya está diponible y libre para el mundo entero. Siempre un gusto, Isa. Beats de fondo: Ese Navarro - Collab (Disponible en todas las plataformas digitales)

On this episode of the podcast we are joined by Wargasm's singer/bassist Bob Mayo, who takes us through the band's history and details their five year legal battle with their label Profile Records to get released from their deal, which kept them from accepting offers from other labels. Special guest co-host Duncan Wilder Johnson(Destruct-A-Thon) comes along for the wild ride and adds his take and insight like only he can. Its a heavy ride through the early Boston metal scene and how Wargasm opened for bands like Slayer, Anthrax, Biohazard etc. culminating with nearly all the bands releases now available in one sweet place on Bandcamp...

Episode 75 is another conversation with Bob Mayo of the Boston area metal band Wargasm. This episode almost serves as a prequel to the first one we did (Episode 27) where we mostly talked about the history of Wargasm. Here we talk about the music that Bob grew up with starting around 1978 with Sabbath and Kiss, hitting the NWOBHM in 1980 and going up to around when thrash metal hit. Bob is a great storyteller and loves talking about music, I'm glad we were able to talk again and plan to do some more episodes in the future.

Con motivo del lanzamiento del single "Viva El Funk", primer adelanto de #FunkExperience, su próximo LP con el virtuoso músico Carlos Porcel, programamos una conversación con el deejay y productor zaragozano Rubén Cuevas, mejor conocido como R De Rumba, para conocer detalles de esta nueva etapa musical en la que se desmarca de lo que hemos conocido en sus 25 años de influyente trayectoria para, con la madurez y conocimientos necesarios, explorar terrenos y sensaciones que siempre estuvieron latentes en quien se dio a conocer desde sus orígenes como "el hijo secreto del Funk". Una charla refrescante, llena de vitalidad y sinceridad, que además nos dio espacio para reflexionar sobre actualidad de la industria musical y las últimas experiencias que se asocian a la legendaria estampa de Violadores el Verso.

On this episode Bob Nalbandian is once again joined by metal enthusiasts Horace Cordier and Bob Mayo (former Wargasm bassist/vocalist). This is our Part 2 episode of Classic ’70s Proto-Metal albums discussion. (Part One is SWSS Ep 49) On this Part 2 episode, the three discuss 10 more classic underground and underrated hard rock and metal albums from the ‘70s!

Heavy Metal was a mainstay at The Channel. In 2015 VH1 named it one of the Top 10 venues for heavy metal ever. National acts including Metallica, Slayer, Motorhead and Alice in Chains played the club. Locals including Wargasm, Meliah Rage and Extreme rocked to packed houses. Yet expenses kept going up, and The Channel needed an infusion of new cash to survive. An old acquaintance reemerged to help bail out the club. He ended up having some dangerous ties...

Former Wargasm bassist, writer, and friend of the show Bob Mayo joins me this week on NSTS to chat about more songs I've never heard.    Regular listeners will remember that Bob has told some pretty courageous personal stories on the show previously, and that he's an incredibly authentic individual. Recently he was asked to give a talk at MIT about, in his own words, how heavy metal didn't necessarily save his life, but certainly gave him one. Bob is definitely the real deal.   Mayo's playlist: Blue Oyster Cult - The Golden Age of Leather Gillan – Abbey of Thelema Immolation – Fostering the Divide Voivod – Neutrino Wishbone Ash - Lifeline    

This week we were joined by one of the nicest guys out there, Bob Mayo of Ace Archery Tackle. Bob is an avid outdoorsman, Vietnam veteran, and traditional bowhunter with a past that runs deep in the traditional archery lifestyle. We talk about Bob’s...

You won't meet many people more genuinely passionate about music than my pal and friend of the show Bob Mayo. He joins me from Massachusetts this week with a new batch of songs that make his skin vibrate, and as always, he enlightens me on a few things.       Bob can always be counted on to bring in fascinatingly obscure tracks, because he's a believer in us discovering music we may have never heard of. He also brings in a few of my favourites. On both fronts, the conversation is great - we chat about who REALLY plays lead guitar on the early Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, and KISS records, the most controversial Scorpions album covers, the hard rock band Billy Joel played in, Black Sabbath's creative challenges, the Golden Earring we didn't know, spaceships getting swallowed up by black holes, what the greatest rock song of all time really is, and so much more. I love talking to this guy.    Mayo's playlist: Golden Earring – She Flies on Strange Wings   Aerosmith – Combination     Rush – Cygnus X-1   Motorhead – Orgasmatron Montrose – Space Station #5 Ursa Major – Sinner Scorpions – We’ll Burn The Sky Black Sabbath – Megalomania The Who – Won’t Get Fooled Again Ramones – I Wanna Be Sedated                        

I thought it would be prescient to celebrate the one hundred episode milestone with a look back at some of the great moments that took place on the way to getting here. Of those there were many, and while I regret not being able to include them all, I did gather a good number of them for this special retrospective. There are laughs, tears, insights, insults, interesting facts, and some incredible conversation compliments of the wide array of guests I've been lucky enough to have - Stephen Stanley, Kelsi Mayne, Ron Tite, Tara Slone, Christopher Long, Rachel Sumner, Rik Emmett, Ron MacLean, Suzi Kory, Terry Moshenberg, Andrea Ramolo, Jay Jay French, Brad Jemmett, Kevin Comeau, Bob Mayo, Sean Beaudoin, Rob Preuss, Amy Sweezey, Phil Collen, Greg Fraser, Audra Santa, Jeffrey Lee Campbell, Alan Cross, and so many others.  THANK YOU for listening. I honestly could not have done it without you. Here's the next hundred, true believers.

La dupla de GranRah & Jestein Ritmos, emcee y productor respectivamente, es una de las más consistentes y comprometidas con su trabajo en la actual escena chilena de rap. Ambos nos visitan en el estudio de Radionauta Online dispuestos a conversarlo todo. Hicimos conectarse a Gran Rah con sus inéditas primeras grabaciones y desde entonces fuimos desarticulando su trayectoria hasta el presente, reparando en los hitos y cuestionamientos que han definido y redefinido sus principios como rapero y persona, así hasta llegar a las profundas y honestas reflexiones que argumentan "Musageta", el impecable octavo título de su carrera. ¿Está muerto el Hip Hop? ¿Cuáles son los secretos detrás de la actual industria musical en las plataformas digitales? ¿Cuáles son los próximos desafíos en la música para Rah y Jestein? Son algunas de las interrogantes que se despejan en esta interesante, liviana y muy necesaria conversación. Escucha "Musageta" en Spotify: https://goo.gl/nDn2uX

Para la misma semana en que estaban agendados los conciertos de lanzamiento de los álbumes "Orgánico" de Habitual y "Noches Frías" de Fucó Banda, tuvimos la compañía de sus protagonistas para entrar en los detalles de sus nuevas y brillantes propuestas. "Habitual" presenta y aporta uno de los discos de contenido más urgente para la sociedad actual con el integral y conceptual "Organico", compartiéndonos interesantes reflexiones que se desprenden de su proceso creativo desde la inmensidad del desierto. Mientras que, representando a la Fuco Banda, Matias Foucault nos introduce en lo orígenes y desafíos para llegar a la complicidad que alcanza la mescolanza de influencias que caracteriza al nutrido proyecto que se abre al mundo con su placa debut. Los ritmos de fondo y del cypher final los auspicia Polilla Beat's, a quien envíamos un saludo y disculpas por la confusión de su presentación durante el programa.

Isa Riffo, mejor conocida La Deyabu, estrenó a principios de mayo su debut solista llamado "Matria", un impecable álbum producido íntegramente por Cuatrobeats, que, en su forma y contexto, nos invita a un amigable lugar esencial de descubrir y habitar, sobre todo en estos días en que, gracias al ferviente movimiento feminista, el llamado a la reflexión sobre nuestra construcción social está ahí y aquí, ineludible, diciéndonos fuerte y claro: "ponte vío tú también". Conversamos con Isa sobre los viajes por el continente que acompañaron su proceso creativo, analizamos el impacto social de la actual revolución feminista en las universidades chilenas, y compartimos opiniones sobre la necesaria y permanente tarea de deconstrucción que hoy nos convoca como sociedad, entendiendo y desmitificando que el feminismo no es un enemigo ni tampoco un problema que afecta sólo a algunas y algunos.

Talking with this week's NSTS guest Bob Mayo was a genuine pleasure. In this episode, Bob speaks honestly and courageously about his upbringing, and I commend him for that. He brings in the songs that helped him get through the difficulties he faced during his high school days, and speaks frankly and articulately about how they provided a sense of security to him as a kid.  A lot of my personal favourites get talked about, including Van Halen, Sabbath, Priest, and a heartbreaking story about making a friend through KISS, and I'm reminded of the similarities between us as we chat about these bands and what they can mean to people who truly needed them. Bravo, Bob.           Mayo's playlist: Cheap Trick – The House Is Rocking  Van Halen – I’m The One Black Sabbath – Black Sabbath Gillan – Mister Universe Judas Priest – Steeler KISS – I Want You / Take Me Motorhead – Too Late Too Late BONUS: Fleetwood Mac – Albatross 

Episode 27 is a conversation with Bob Mayo. Bob is a founding member of Massachusetts thrash metal band Wargasm who operated between 1985 and 1995. Bob talks about getting into hard rock and metal in the 70's and 80's, how he got Wargasm together and then walks through the whole story of that band. Wargasm were an amazing metal band who have an amazing story and Bob is the perfect story teller to get through all of the ups and downs they went through. Bob's lifelong love of music as a performer and a fan is on display in this episode and makes him a perfect guest for TATP. 

Bob Mayo joins me via Skype from the Boston area for this week's episode of No Sleep 'til Sudbury. Bob is the former bassist of thrash metal act Wargasm, and he writes an absolutely killer music blog called Mayonoise which I highly recommend. Bob discusses some impressive insights on Cheap Trick and the oft-overlooked depth of their lyrics. We also discuss Blue Oyster Cult's relationship with Black Sabbath, Dave Mustaine's attitude, our perspectives on AC/DC's formula, and why we'll be friends for a very long time.    Mayo's playlist: Motorhead - The Hammer Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear The Reaper Cheap Trick - Auf Weidersehen AC/DC - Gone Shootin' Megadeth - Holy Wars/The Punishment Due Budgie - Napoleon Bona Parts I and II Opeth - The Grand Conjuration               

Greg Mayo is rock'n'roll royalty--from sitting in with Hall and Oates at age 8 on drums at Jones Beach to his current gig of being Bon Jovi's guitarist. Son of the late, great Bob Mayo, he grew up inside of the music. Here he tells stories of explaining to his mom that she was wasting her time getting him piano lessons because he was going to be a baseball player and the struggles of tremendous personal tragedies he's had to work though to become the ultimate "old school meets modern" musician.
