Podcasts about Cheap Trick

This Week on America's Podcast! We summoned the mathematical wizardry of Ryan T. Russell—armed only with a calculator, a dream, and a list of 50 of our favorite Cheap Trick songs. What did he do? He crunched the numbers, sprinkled some rock 'n' roll sorcery, and conjured up the ultimate Top 25 Cheap Trick songs of all time! Joining this sonic séance are none other than Ross Warner, author of American Standard: Cheap Trick from the Bars to the Budokan and Beyond, and the one and only Eddy Cannistraci, the man, the myth, the alcohol-powered legend. By the end of this marathon, we bid a possibly-tearful, definitely-tipsy Auf Wiedersehen to Mooger and Eddy Alcohol Man, but don't worry—we rally and bring it home with Marc, Ross, and Ryan still standing (barely). So buckle up, Tricksters—we're raising hell and counting riffs on this epic episode! Will your favorite make the list? Will someone start singing “Dream Police” off-key? Only one way to find out... Until next week, say it with us: “Elo Kiddies!” And remember—don't wake up with a monster. #CheapTrick #Top25 #ClassicRock #RockNRoll #PodcastLife #MusicNerds #NowPlaying #CheapTrickFans #RockLegends #EloKiddies #BudokanVibes #GuitarHeroes #PowerPop #RockHistory #PodcastMarathon #RaiseHell #VinylCommunity #MusicPodcast #DontWakeUpWithAMonster #America'sPodcast

Equally at home in front of 100 or 15,000, Eliot has performed on the worlds most legendary stages, including Madison Square Garden, Japan's Budokan, Red Rocks, The Hollywood Bowl, Carnegie Hall as well as Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Conan O'Brien, The Today Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live and many others. Eliot has carved out his own distinctive musical brand and sonic landscape and has written, performed and produced ten solo releases. There are many who shaped Eliot's music and writing. As a guitar player, definitely Jeff Beck who I've been listening to all my life, as well as Billy Gibbons who I had the great fortune of working with recently, and Peter Frampton who I actually jammed with when I was 14 yrs old. I had the amazing experience of meeting and seeing many influential artists when I was a kid mainly at Madison Square Garden in New York City. To Purchase tickets to the Limited Seating WESTPORT, CT show click on linkhttps://www.ticketleap.events/tickets/wwweliotlewiscom/eliot-lewis-live-in-westport-ct-444213059 For more on Eliot's tour log onto the website link belowhttps://eliotlewis.com/shows

CJ Plain has been eager to break down a favorite album for a long time, and we're making it happen this week in our chat lab. 2018's "Some Tough City" by former Rainbow keyboardist Tony Carey paints a hard rocking view of the streets, crimes and tent cities of East LA. Merging sounds sure to please fans of guitar-centric bands like Thin Lizzy, Cheap Trick and Queen into a unique arena rock blend, Carey turns his experience with such legends as Ritchie Blackmore into a gem of his own. #Rainbow #tonycarey #ritchieblackmore #sometoughcity #coldwarkids #reachout #antisocialnetworkYUH Theme by David T and Mojo 3https://www.amazon.com/Insanity-Sobri...Some Tough City by Tony Carey on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/album/5xOXMBMX8vMT86wtTR9Z2o?si=QeDTSWIYQKObyIyhNrYESwThe Loud List on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/4C0llQ13OnXKezsMqKVPqyThe Noize Report on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/4nwjAECkWeJJd5tfjjkgQuAnti Social Network on Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1NrDN795E7qwmKL5wS6z7wYeah Uh Huh Social Stuff:Yeah Uh Huh on TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@yeahuhhuhpodYeah Uh Huh on Facebookhttps://facebook.com/YeahUhHuhPodYeah Uh Huh on Twitterhttps://twitter.com/YeahUhHuhPodYeah Uh Huh on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/7pS9l716ljEQLeMMxwihoS?si=27bd15fb26ed46aaYeah Uh Huh on Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yeah-uh-huh/id1565097611Yeah Uh Huh Website:https://yeah-uh-huh.wixsite.com/yeahuhhuhpod

The Glam Album That's Actually Power Pop Gold: Enuff Z'Nuff's Dazzling 1989 DebutYou've seen the neon. You've heard the name. But have you listened? Enuff Z'Nuff's self-titled 1989 debut is a glittering paradox: glam on the outside, power pop on the inside. Packed with lush harmonies, Beatlesque melodies, and MTV-ready swagger, it was a record caught between worlds—and in this episode, we unpack every hook, story, and squealing solo.We dig into why this record, released in the chaos of late-'80s rock, still feels so timeless. From the genre-defying sound to the band's rollercoaster history, we explore what makes Enuff Z'Nuff an underdog classic that not only beat Iron Maiden in a fan vote, but continues to inspire debate decades later.If you're into Cheap Trick, Jellyfish, The Posies, or even early Oasis, this one's for you. It's glam with heart. Pop with punch. And a whole lot of sequins.

Interview by Kris PetersWhat started out as a bit of fun on a Monday night at Sydney's Frankie's Pizza back in 2012 has quickly developed into a global sensation.Initially formed to beat Monday night boredom at the home of live music in Sydney, Frankie's World Famous House Band has grown from such humble beginnings to being a mainstay on the Australian music scene for both punters and international touring musicians.For ten years until its sad closing in 2022, the band rocked the stage at Frankie's Pizza, along the way collecting a healthy dose of international scalps under their belt who frequented the venue just to catch a glimpse of the house band. Members of bands such as Megadeth, Steel Panther, White Snake, White Zombie and Cheap Trick have all at one time shared the stage with the house band, while they are now also an in demand gun for hire as touring bands for stars such as Tim 'Ripper' Owens who enlists their help each time he comes over.They are a band made up of accomplished musicians, but, more importantly, people who love music, and that infectious energy night after night is one of the major reasons they survived when Frankie's fell.This weekend sees Frankie's World Famous House Band venture outside of their home base of Sydney for a rare visit North, where they will be playing at Lefty's in Brisbane on Saturday, June 7, and Mo's Desert Clubhouse in Burleigh Heads the following night. HEAVY jumped at the chance to chat with drummer and the legend behind Frankie's Pizza, Jordan McDonald to find out more."Yeah, we never do this," he replied when we mentioned the fact that the band doesn't play outside of Sydney often. "We get out of town if we're the house band for a touring artist, that happens every now and then. That's kind of, I guess, the niche of the Frankie's World Famous House Band. If there's an act of cult appeal who's coming to Australia but leaving the band behind, we'll fill in and play, so we'll take that around the country. But just as us doing it our way, it's kind of a matter of policy that we never leave Sydney, so this is something different."We question what policy could ever confine any band to one city before Jordan smiles."It was bred in Sydney, and it's kind of where it makes sense," he laughed. "It's part of the fabric of the zone, so we try and kind of keep it that way. But if an opportunity like this comes up - and it doesn't happen all that often - we say yes to most things. So here we are!"In the full interview, Jordan focused on the upcoming performances of Frankie's World Famous House Band in Queensland, scheduled for June 7 and 8. He provided background on the band, emphasizing their unique position as a house band that typically does not tour outside Sydney. He highlighted their speciality in high-energy covers of classic rock songs and their collaborations with well-known artists, which have bolstered their reputation.Jordan introduced us to the rest of the band, saying that they don't have a permanent set vocalist in preference of using a range of singers to complement each performance. He ran us through the birth of the band and how he came to be involved, the band name, some of the people they have shared a stage with, his other music and business ventures and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Alex Kane is a fiercely inventive guitarist, songwriter, and musical visionary whose career has spanned decades and continents. Best known for his work with bands like Life Sex & Death, Marky Ramone's Blitzkrieg, Antiproduct, and Enuff Z'Nuff, Kane is one of rock's true cult heroes—a player whose style fuses punk ferocity, glam flamboyance, metal precision, and a sense of showmanship that feels equal parts Ziggy Stardust and Sid Vicious.Born in Chicago, Alex Kane grew up soaking in a wild mix of musical influences—from KISS and The Sex Pistols to Cheap Trick and Queen. He picked up the guitar early and soon developed a sound that combined attitude with technical flair. His Chicago roots also gave him a gritty, no-nonsense approach that would become a signature element of his music.Life, Sex & Death (L.S.D.)Kane first gained national attention in the early '90s as the guitarist and primary songwriter for the controversial and utterly unique band Life Sex & Death. Known for blending sleaze-rock with raw punk energy and philosophical lyrics, the band featured a homeless-savant frontman named Stanley, who became a kind of underground legend.Their debut album, The Silent Majority (1992), released on Warner Bros., drew critical acclaim and cult fascination. Songs like “Tank,” “School's for Fools,” and “Jawohl Asshole” were full of snarling riffs, sharp social commentary, and theatrical swagger. Though commercial success was elusive, the band's live shows and Kane's explosive playing style left a lasting mark on the rock underground.Post-LSD & AntiproductAfter the dissolution of L.S.D., Kane relocated to the UK and co-founded Antiproduct, a glam-punk power-pop explosion that further stretched his musical boundaries. Antiproduct quickly developed a rabid UK fan base with their high-energy shows and outrageous visual style.Their album Consume and Die… The Rest Is All Fun showcased Kane's diverse influences—from Ramones-speed punk to Beatles-style melody—wrapped in crunchy guitars and rebellious hooks. The band was hailed in the British press as a breath of fresh air, and they toured relentlessly with artists like The Wildhearts and Wednesday 13.Collaborations & Side ProjectsAlex Kane is known for his prolific collaborations. He played guitar with Marky Ramone's Blitzkrieg, joining the punk legend for international tours and celebrating the legacy of The Ramones with thunderous authenticity. His stage presence and aggressive playing perfectly matched the spirit of the punk classics.Kane has also worked with an array of artists across genres including Pretty Boy Floyd, Richie Ramone, and Shameless, and has guested on countless albums. A fearless player, he's comfortable shredding on heavy metal tracks, laying down sleazy glam riffs, or playing melodic hooks with pop sensibility.Enuff Z'Nuff & Recent WorkIn recent years, Kane returned to his Chicago roots and joined Enuff Z'Nuff for several tours, bringing a harder-edged guitar vibe to the band's power-pop and psychedelic-tinged catalog. His addition reinvigorated the band's sound onstage, and his chemistry with Chip Z'Nuff made him a fan-favorite during live shows.Kane also continues to produce, write, and record solo material. His sharp wit, eclectic taste, and raw energy continue to push creative boundaries. He's known for mentoring young musicians and remaining fiercely independent in an industry often driven by trends and compromise.LegacyAlex Kane's legacy is one of rebellion, craft, and fearless creativity. He's not just a guitar player—he's a musical mischief-maker and a genre-blending explorer. While he may have flown under the mainstream radar, those who know Kane's work recognize him as one of the most exciting and original rock guitarists of his generation.https://www.instagram.com/alexfuckingkane?igsh=MTV1OWhuaGt1NWNlbA==

“Wait, the reason you cut your hair was for 2 dudes?”   It's officially our 6th anniversary! That's right, 6 years of metal discussions, ludicrous nonsense, and beers of the episode, and what better way to wrap up our 6th year in podcasting excellence than with STEEL PANTHER, the parody band that helped make 80's hair metal FUN again, with every hyperbolic metal cliché you can think of that makes them the epitome of everything that made late 80's hair metal so awesome. If S.O.D. is thrash metal with a generous side of hilarity, then STEEL PANTHER is quite obviously their hair metal counterpart.   Find out what happened “three or four days later…after the crying stopped”, discover which Slayer song is considered their “ballad”, understand why it's healthy and fun to maintain the silliness of your youth as you get older and JOIN US as we celebrate 6 years of metal and nonsense by going deep INSIDE THE METAL of a band that blends hair metal and nonsense together on a level that our inner 8th grader would have greatly appreciated with the kings of L.A. hair metal absurdity, STEEL PANTHER.   Visit www.metalnerdery.com/podcast for more on this episode   Help Support Metal Nerdery https://www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast Leave us a Voicemail to be played on a future episode: 980-666-8182 Metal Nerdery Tees and Hoodies – metalnerdery.com/merch and kindly leave us a review and/or rating on the iTunes/Apple Podcasts - Spotify or your favorite Podcast app Follow us on the Socials: Facebook - Instagram - TikTok   Email: metalnerdery@gmail.com Can't be LOUD Enough Playlist on Spotify Metal Nerdery Munchies on YouTube @metalnerderypodcast STEEL PANTHER on the InterWebs: www.steelpanther.com  Show Notes: (00:01): Happy 6th anniversary to #MetalNerderyPodcast!!!

This week, we received our annual audit visit from corporate! That's right, The Chairman not only graced us with his presence, but he demanded we deliver to you this episode: “Grave Mistake: BÖC Shoulda Been Huge!!!”. One could argue that selling 24M albums would negate “Shoulda Been Huge” treatment. However, when most folks can only name 3 songs by this band, and one of them is due to an SNL skit, we think they fit the bill.This episode is rooted in our Should Have Been category; however, there is a strong case to be made that they've been largely forgotten as innovators and architects of what we know as heavy metal. We think they should be remembered as titans of hard rock and metal! Hope ya dig!Songs this week include:Blue Öyster Cult - “Transmaniacon MC” from Blue Öyster Cult(1972)Blue Öyster Cult - “The Red & The Black” from Tyranny And Mutation (1973)Blue Öyster Cult - “Flaming Telepaths” from Secret Treaties (1974)Blue Öyster Cult - “Tenderloin” from Agents Of Fortune (1976)Blue Öyster Cult - “R.U.

We're celebrating our 10th anniversary all year by digging in the vaults to re-present classic episodes with fresh commentary. Today, we're revisiting our 2020 conversation with Linda Perry.   ABOUT LINDA PERRYSinger, songwriter, musician, producer, and Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee Linda Perry first made her mark as an artist, serving as lead vocalist and primary songwriter of the group 4 Non Blondes, which is best known for the Top 15 pop hit “What's Up?” Following a couple of solo albums, Linda emerged as a powerhouse songwriter and producer thanks to her work on P!nk's multiplatinum Misundaztood album. The debut single, “Get The Party Started,” which Linda wrote solo, was a global smash. She followed it up with another solo-written composition, “Beautiful,” which became a chart-topping ballad for Christina Aguilera that earned a Grammy nomination for Song of the Year. Subsequent chart success came with Gwen Stefani's debut solo single “What You Waiting For,” Alicia Keys's “Superwoman,” Ariana Grande's debut single “Put Your Hearts Up,” Miley Cyrus's “Hands of Love,” and additional singles for Aguilera, including the Top 10 hits “Hurt” and “Keeps Gettin' Better.” Recently, Linda collaborated with Dolly Parton on the soundtrack of the film Dumplin', including the song “Girl in the Movies,” which was nominated for both a Golden Globe and a Grammy award. Linda is a four-time Grammy nominee, including a 2019 nomination for Producer of the Year, making her the only solo female producer to ever earn a nomination for their work producing other artists. The long list of artists Linda has produced, collaborated with, or had her songs covered by include Adele, Courtney Love, Cheap Trick, Faith Hill, Britney Spears, KT Tunstall, Weezer, Pat Benetar, Solange, L.P., Joan Jett, The Chicks, Vanessa Carlton, Celine Dion, Elvis Costello, and Lady Gaga. In addition to her prolific songwriting and production activities, Perry is a multi-faceted music industry entrepreneur, having worked as a music publisher, manager, or mentor with artists such as James Blunt, Dorothy, and Natasha Bedingfield.

In this celebratory and multifaceted episode of Friends Talking Nerdy, Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd dive into an eclectic mix of topics that blend music nostalgia, behind-the-scenes celebrity moments, and the heated debates of wrestling culture.1. Revisiting 1985: The Ultimate Musical ThrowbackThe duo kicks off the episode by reminiscing about the golden year of 1985, as they each reveal their top five favorite songs from that era. The conversation is filled with personal anecdotes and insights as they dissect tracks that defined the decade. Their selections span a broad spectrum of styles—from the pop sensibilities of Phil Collins' "Sussudio" and Wham's "Careless Whisper", to the rock edge of Dire Straits' "Money For Nothing" and The Smiths' evocative "The Boy With The Thorn In His Side". They also shine a light on the artful, quirky stylings of Talking Heads with "And She Was", while nodding to collaborative anthems like Mick Jagger and David Bowie's "Dancing In The Streets". Other memorable tracks discussed include Cheap Trick's "Tonight It's You", Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' rebellious "Don't Come Around Here No More", Robert Palmer's slick "Addicted To Love", and the ever-enduring Simple Minds' "Don't You (Forget About Me)". Listeners get an intimate glimpse into why these songs resonate so powerfully with the hosts, reflecting both the cultural impact of 1985 and their own personal histories with the music. Check out their YouTube playlist with all these song choices.2. A Cameo Moment of HonorSwitching gears, Tim the Nerd recounts an exciting behind-the-scenes moment that highlights the podcast's growing influence. With creative savvy and a touch of fandom, Tim explains how he secured a heartfelt Cameo from Aubrey Edwards, the renowned referee from All Elite Wrestling. Celebrating the milestone of reaching 400 episodes, Aubrey Edwards shared some kind words about Friends Talking Nerdy. Tim dives into the process—using the Cameo platform—to connect with a wrestling personality who is not only a fan but also a respected figure in the industry. This segment offers a fun peek into the strategic networking and passion that fuels the podcast's community spirit.3. Wrestling, Ethics, and the Netflix Docuseries “Mr. McMahon”The episode then turns its focus to the world of professional wrestling with an in-depth discussion on the Netflix documentary “Mr. McMahon.” Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd dissect the film's portrayal of Vince McMahon's tumultuous career and the various controversies that have shadowed his legacy. The hosts debate the ethical dilemmas wrestling fans face as they reconcile their admiration for the spectacle with the problematic aspects of McMahon's history. Their discussion is both analytical and impassioned, weighing the documentary's revelations against the cultural mythos of wrestling. Listeners are invited to reflect on the complexities of fandom—how one can celebrate the art of wrestling while critically engaging with its darker undercurrents.As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song.

I'm so happy to be with you. Today. We're going to talk about what can we do to make ourselves well on the inside. Like, we do so many things to make sure that we're looking good and that we're feeling good on the outside.But what about the inside? Isn't that the one that really counts? So relax and settle in and listen up, because your stress therapy session is about to begin right now.Hey, beautiful people. It's time for some stress therapy. A podcast about how to meditate and get better at stress. For people living in the real world. Finally, a place to Park.My 25 plus years of experience of working as a psychotherapist in the mental health field. And now your host, me, the stress therapist, Sherry Flake.Hey, beautiful people, how are you? Today we're going to talk a little bit about working on your outside versus working on your inside, which may actually be more important. But our ego is always tricking us into thinking that the outside side is more important or the most important thing when I'm not so sure that's true.Right. I remember one time I was in high school, and I'll never forget this. This guy, like, really put me in my place, man. I was pretty devastated. Here I am, you know, a thousand years later, talking about it, but I was coming into a classroom and the teacher said,how long does it take you to get ready for school?And I don't remember what my answer was. An hour, 45 minutes, whatever. I was in high school. I had a lot of hair. A lot of hair. There was. There was a lot of hair involved.Okay, it was the 80s.I think I said like an hour or something. I don't remember what I said. But he said,is that how long it takes you to get ready for school, or is that how long it takes you to look the way you want to look for school?What? Okay. Besides showing how very unsophisticated and naive I was when I was in high school, because this was such a poignant point for me, I never even remotely considered it.I think it's something that we need to visit. I think we spend a lot of time working on our outsides. You know, we have to make sure that our hair is pink.And, you know, today I'm wearing my cheap chick T shirt. You know, let everybody know that I went to Cheap Trick and I love them, and I went to the concert.It was amazing. And what does that say about me? Right? That's what our egos are so obsessed with, like,who am I? Like, am I a woman? Am I more feminine? Am I a mother, a daughter, a sister? You know, and I'm also like a mom and I'm a friend, and I'm also all these different roles, and we kind of tweak our personality as we sort of fit into our personal reality.And that's how we shape our egos. That's what our egos are. It's who we are. And our ego is obsessed with how we're being perceived by other people. And I was at this cocktail party once with my husband, and I arrived late.I met him there late, you know, with this other couple at this table. And I walked up and apologized for being late. And the woman of this couple said, don't worry, because I don't ever judge.I never judge people. And I was like, whatever. I'm judging you right now.That's not. That's not true. Because it's not. I mean, come on. I mean, there's a part of our brain that is reserved for judgment. It's so we don't do anything stupid.It's so we don't trust that person again. It's so we don't walk down an alley that looks like that again. If we were robbed the last time we went down, it.I mean, it's for safety precautions, but. And yeah, the system doesn't always work because you might not trust someone who looks like someone that you didn't trust before, and they're two different people and who cares?And it's not the same thing or whatever, but we're supposed to fit into a tribe of sorts. We're supposed to want to be accepted by a group so we can fit in.Because I think our primitive minds kind of know that we. We just can't do this all by ourselves. We need one another. And so that judgment is there. It's just there.Now, I do think it's lovely if you can, like Malcolm Gladwell, that. That **** out, you know, and like, notice when you're judging and you can change it. Absolutely. I mean, awareness is key, however,to think that you're never going to be judging or that's a goal. I just don't know how practical that is. I think instead, when you notice that your ego identity is judging something, that you jump in and that you're able to notice that and change it, you know, just like anything else.But I was really judging her for that anyway. We've all been tricked by someone's outsides anyway. They don't really tell the whole story on the inside. I don't know about you, but I keep falling for.My sister would never do this either. She is so intellectually savvy. As far as this goes, I have a friend who's friends with my friends. I don't know her that well, but every time I see her, because she is beautiful.She is like the quintessential, like, what an American woman is supposed to look like. And the skinny and the beautiful and the skin and the hair and all the things and the body and the clothes and the.Everything. I mean, she's just, she's drop dead gorgeous. There's no doubt about it. It's not even a judgment. Like, she really is beautiful. And so I always erroneously think she's going to be nice to me.And she, she's not. She's

The 1995 tour included many firsts for Pearl Jam with a big one being the first time that the band ventured overseas to Southeast Asia and Oceania. This episode marks the first show where they played the legendary Tokyo venue Budokan. Any massive band that has traveled for a world tour has played this venue from names along the lines of Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, with the most famous instance being Cheap Trick who released a live album recording from a performance there. When Vitalogy came out, Pearl Jam was one of the hottest bands in the world. The hype in Japan was massive as the crowd there was red hot witnessing the band at their height. We have a lot of fun performances to get to at this show, and there's no lack of discussion about what Jack Irons presence brought to the band during this time frame. Stay tuned for great topics such as a Corduroy solo with more drive, the rare 1995 alternate intro to Even Flow, an explosive Immortality, Satan's Bed at the best its ever been, why Go and Animal may be the best combination in the history of Pearl Jam and Ledbetter and Indifference getting the rare appearance at the same show. And we'll share a great story about a surprise when finding the Cheap Trick Live At Budokan record while digging through crates at a shop in Chicago.

As a female artist in Nashville, history suggests that the quickest path to success is somehow aligning oneself with one of the major publishers, producers, songwriters, labels, or managers that are the heart of Music Row. So what do you do if you are a female artist in Nashville, and also happen to be the granddaughter of musical icon, Willie Nelson?You hook up with an independent producer and veteran of the rock/punk scene, write some songs that are part Loretta Lynn, part Cheap Trick, and form the Raelyn Nelson Band. "I don't really have any desire to be a  'solo-artist'. Everyone in my family who plays music has always placed a lot of importance on band chemistry, on stage, off stage and in the studio. Our band can almost read each other's minds. Why would I mess with that? We try to keep it simple: Write songs we like, record them, make a video, then go out and play them for people."- Raelyn Nelson www.raelynnelsonband.comInstagram @raelynnelsonband You tube: https://youtu.be/S-3usNaqB5ohttps://www.facebook.com/raelynnelsonband"Still on the Run" - https://www.fbrmusic.com/Host - Trey MitchellIG - treymitchellphotography IG - feeding_the_senses_unsensoredFB - facebook.com/profile.php?id=100074368084848Threads - www.threads.net/@treymitchellphotographySponsorship Information/Guest Suggestions  -  ftsunashville@gmail.com

We're celebrating our 10th anniversary all year by digging in the vaults to re-present classic episodes with fresh commentary. What better way to kick things off than where it all began? Here's a look back at episode one and our conversation with Jim Peterik.  ABOUT JIM PETERIKSinger, songwriter, guitarist, and keyboardist Jim Peterik is best known as a founding member of the band Survivor and the co-writer of their Grammy-winning double platinum #1 hit single, “Eye of the Tiger.” But that's only the tip of the iceberg. Thirty-five of Jim's songs have appeared on the Billboard Pop chart, including seven Top 10 singles. His first major success came when his original band, Ides of March, took the Peterik-penned “Vehicle” to the #2 position on the Pop chart in 1970, spawning cover versions by Chet Baker and Shirley Bassey. After a stint as a solo artist with Epic Records, Jim formed Survivor in 1979, penning a string of hits for the band, including “I Can't Hold Back,” “High On You,” “The Search is Over,” “Burning Heart,” and “Is This Love.” While still writing hits for his own group, Jim forged a successful partnership with the members of 38 Special, co-writing classic songs, including “Rockin' Into the Night,” “Hold On Loosely,” and “Caught Up In You.” Widely respected as a top-notch collaborator, Jim has co-written successful songs with a number of artists, including the Beach Boys, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Sammy Hagar, Cheap Trick, the Doobie Brothers, REO Speedwagon, and Mindi Abair. The long list of those who have covered his compositions includes Paul Anka, Gloria Gaynor, Tony Orlando, Reba McEntire, Larry Gatlin, Blackhawk, and The Outlaws. He is the co-author, with Dave Austin, of Songwriting for Dummies.
