What happens when Poison's fire-brand drummer trades stadium pyrotechnics for scrappy club gigs, hand-picks BulletBoys shredder Mick Sweda, and dares to mash up Duran Duran with T. Rex? Meet Rikki Rockett's Rocket Mafia—the “anti-cover-band” cover band that's rewriting the rules of '80s metal nostalgia while plotting its own originals.Rikki Rockett—fresh off the Stadium Tour and revved up by motorcycle charity gigs—drops in to reveal how Rocket Mafia started as a one-off set for the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride and snowballed into a high-octane passion project.- Origin story: from Taylor Hawkins' Chevy Metal fill-in to a permanent lineup with vocalist Brandon Gibbs and bassist Brian B.- Set-list philosophy: ditch “War Pigs” for Billy Squier's “Everybody Wants You” and a bang-up “Hungry Like the Wolf/Bang a Gong” mash-up.- Inside the drummer's mind: the magic (and headaches) of fly-in dates, building an erector-set drum kit nightly, and why ghost notes were banned on early Poison records.- Family, books & the paranormal: taxi-dad life, upcoming memoir Ghost Notes, and chasing spirits between tour runs.- The great “original-lineup” debate: Rockett's candid take on legacy bands, Foreigner's rotating cast, and keeping Poison intact.If you crave the swagger of Motley Crüe but dig the left-field song choices of Chevy Metal—or if you've ever argued over whether replacement players can capture a band's soul—this conversation hits your sweet spot. Think glam-metal bravado meets garage-band curiosity; fans of Def Leppard, Cheap Trick, or even Duran Duran will feel right at home.⏰ Episode Highlights0:00 – Theme riff & Welcome – How Dig Me Out keeps '80s metal alive, plus Patreon shout-outs5:12 – The SmartLess-style guest tease – Chip nearly pulls off a Ricky Rockett surprise11:45 – Interview starts – Late-start school runs and why soundchecks are secret weapons22:10 – From charity gig to Rocket Mafia – The birth of an “anti-cover” philosophy28:55 – Mick Sweda joins – Tone over whammy bars and the art of serving the song34:08 – Taxi-dad confessions – Balancing teenage schedules with tour life36:28 – “Ghost Notes” preview – Banned drum licks, paranormal rabbit holes, true-crime obsessions39:54 – Legendary tour manager Bob Dates – Tour-bus rescues & backstage chaos42:10 – Poison in-store brawl flashback – Chasing hecklers through record shops53:30 – Outro jam – How Rocket Mafia plans to weaponize deep-cut Poison tracksLoved the peek behind the spandex curtain?Subscribe now on your favorite pod-player so you never miss an episode.Dig deeper into every season of alternative & hard-rock history at digmeoutpodcast.com.Rate, review, and share—because the riff revolution needs you.

In our second installment of Surviving the 90s, we're revisiting one of the hitmakers from the first half of the 80s - Billy Squier. Responsible for such hits as The Stroke, Lonely Is The Night, Everybody Wants You, My Kinda Lover, and Rock Me Tonite, to name a few, Squier was all over radio and early MTV. Albums like Don't Say No, Emotions in Motion, and Signs of Life each went Platinum, and while musical trends changed, Squier still managed radio airplay into the early 90s. But by 1998, he was done, releasing his final record, Happy Blue, an all acoustic affair. We revisit his greatest hits, his 90s releases, and try to determine if Billy Squier thrived, adapted, or died in the 90s. Songs In This Episode Intro - The Stroke (from Don't Say No) 10:32 - 42nd Street by Piper (from self-titled) 17:41 - The Big Beat (from The Tale of the Tape) 28:19 - Rock Me Tonite (from Signs of Life) 38:28 - Young at Heart (from Creatures of Habit) 1:02:42 - Happy Blues (from Happy Blue) Outro - Angry (from Tell The Truth) Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.
