Tom Werman was one of the most successful producers of the 70s and 80s. He's responsible for making Cheap Trick what they are thanks to his work on their first few albums. He's also behind some of the best power pop of the era like the Producers, Off Broadway, and Gary Myrick. And, he helped shape the sound of the Sunset Strip by producing massive albums by Motley Crue, Twisted Sister and Poison. Oh, he also discovered Ted Hugent, Boston, REO Speedwagon and more. Surprisingly, in the 90s he left it all behind to open a Bed and Breakfast. Tom elaborates on all of these and much more including not getting along with Dee Snider, some of his favorite lesser known projects like Mother's Finest, and why he walked away.

Singer/Songwriter, Troubadour, and Texas Guitar Slinger Gary Myrick drops by Thunderlove Studio to chat with Keith and Rob about the self-titled debut album by Havana 3am from 1991. Havana 3am took shape when singer Nigel Dixon (of rockabilly band Whirlwind), guitarist Gary Myrick and bassist Paul Simonon (of The Clash) went out riding their motorcycles.  This self-produced album is wickedly sharp and melds surf, punk, rockabilly, traditional rock and adds a healthy Latin influence. For 1990, it was probably a little ahead of its time. Gary talks to the guys about his entire career, which includes meeting Jimi Hendrix, getting shot at while performing in Texas, and replacing Stevie Ray Vaughn. Myrick even plays a little sample of what he is currently working on… and it's amazing, naturally. LINKS: Gary Myrick Havana 3am on Spotify

This week on The Metro, Warlock Jeff Ivins brings you the following bands for your weekly time trip back to the 1980s: Adam & The Ants, Men at Work, INXS, Human Sexual Response, Bonnie Tyler, Howard Jones, The Motels, Blondie, Maria McKee, Gary Myrick, Squeeze, Power Station, The Go-Go’s, Midnight Oil, and finishing off with The Ramones.

The Knack are the poster band for both extreme success and extreme flame out. They had the biggest hit of 1979 with their debut single "My Sharona", a song that remains as killer today as it was then. But, almost immediately the backlash came - they copy the Beatles too much, the lyrics are misogynistic, power pop is over, etc. Unfortunately, the band never really got over that despite staging many reunions and comebacks over the years. However, when frontman Doug Feiger died in 2010 that was all she wrote. Here, bassist Prescott Niles is eager to tell the real story of the Knack like why much of the criticism was unfair, what great musicians they were, and the story behind each album, including his favorites and least favorites. We also get into what he's doing now which includes playing with 80s favorites Missing Persons and Gary Myrick. Prescott is quite a character, but the story he tells is vital. Enjoy! 

Bands come and go, and many musicians move around in different bands in their careers. Tonight we take a look at two powerhouse musicians, Gary Myrick and Prescott Niles, and get a unique insight into a new venture between both of them. Prescott, who has been on several times on All About Guitar, is one of the demand working bassists, coming from the Knack and regularly gigging with Missing Persons. Gary has been performing as a solo artist and is also a session and touring guitarist, having toured with Jackson Browne, the Eagles, Wilson Pickett, Bonnie Raitt, Todd Rundgren, Brian Wilson, and Stevie Wonder. Both artists are now working together and we talk about how that came to be. It's a night of great music, great tone, and more!!

Steve Cooper talks with musician Prescott Niles. Prescott is best known for being bass player for the band The Knack. Their hit single My Sharona went Gold in thirteen days and was the #1 song of 1979 and their debut album Get the Knack sold over six million copies worldwide. Prescott was lucky to have had the rare privilege to work with George Harrison for the soundtrack Shanghai Surprise and did an album with Josie Cotton which was in the movie and soundtrack Valley Girl. Since 2013 he has been touring with Missing Persons and is also in a new version of Gary Myrick & the Figures.

If you downloaded the previous version, you may want to delete that and download this one. It will be much more consistent from start to finish. Starting off this episode is the band Monsoon. While the term monsoon refers to a seasonal reversal of the wind and torrential downpours that occur in areas of SE Asia, it's an unfortunate name, in a sense, for the band led by Sheila Chandra as they produced but a trickle of pop-infused music before disbanding. Just 16 years old at the time of their only album release, Third Eye, in 1982, Chandra, producer Steve Coe and bassist Martin Smith struck proverbial gold with "Ever So Lonely", which peaked at #12 in the UK. They followed that with the song "Shakti", which rose to #41. However, those two songs would prove to be their only hits, though a cover version of The Beatles' "Tomorrow Never Knows" also appeared on the full-length album and featured one Bill Nelson on the E-Bow. In refusing to tether their fortunes to a record label that demanded more hits, Coe and Smith were free to promote Chandra's solo career, which focused less on pop music and more on world music. She eventually signed with Peter Gabriel's Real World record label, releasing three solo albums in the 1990s. Sadly, Chandra today suffers from Burning Mouth Syndrome, an affliction with no underlying medical or dental cause that produces such severe pain when laughing, crying, speaking, singing, etc. that she was rendered mute and forced to give up her music career. Hailing from Vancouver, BC Canada, The Payolas produced one of the most breathtakingly sensual tracks of the 80s with their amazing song, "Eyes Of A Stranger". A fixture on the Canadian New Wave Scene from the late 70s through the 80s, the band was comprised primarily of core members Paul Hyde and Bob Rock, the latter of whom went on to become a mega-producer/engineer, working with such diverse artists as 311, Metallica, The Cult, Aerosmith, Motley Crue, Our Lady Peace, The Tragically Hip and others. Taking their name from the Alan Freed payola scandal of the late 50s, the group won a Juno award for Single of the Year for Eyes Of A Stranger in 1983. (Rock, himself, has been nominated for 17 Juno awards in various musical categories including Engineer of the Year and Producer of the Year) The track would later appear on the Valley Girl soundtrack, a soundtrack that, like Pretty In Pink after it, was great when soundtracks typically were not. Modern English, The Flirts, Men At Work, The Plimsouls, Josie Cotton, Eddy Grant, Gary Myrick and The Figures and others graced that soundtrack, which became a serious collector's item for a long while until being re-issued by Rhino Records in 1994. Sticking with the music industry disillusionment theme from earlier, Mark Griffin (aka MC 900 Ft. Jesus), a music hero from my old stomping grounds of Dallas, Texas eventually quit the business after the release of his third album One Step Ahead Of The Spider, released in 1994. Thankfully he leaves a legacy, albeit brief one, of some of the better cult classics of the era including the arsonists lull-a-bye "The City Sleeps" from 1991's Welcome To My Dream album and the track appearing in this episode, the 12-inch mix of "Truth Is Out Of Style" from his 1989 debut album, Hell With The Lid Off. In case you were wondering, Griffin's stage name derived from a sermon by televangelist Oral Roberts, who claimed he was visited by a 900-foot tall image of Jesus, commanding him to erect a hospital on the campus of the university bearing his namesake. Despite his short music career, Griffin's American heritage at the very least was a blessing in disguise as MC 270-Meter Jesus somehow just doesn't have the same ring to it. I'm going to end this here. I still have another podcast write-up to do and a couple of podcasts ready to record, so I'm going to have to end this here. Happy Listening!

Special guest Gary Myrick

Rundgren Radio with special guest Gary Myrick. Born in Dallas, Texas, Gary Myrick played guitar and sang in the Dallas/Fort Worth area starting as a teenager. Eventually, he built a significant enough reputation to be asked to join Austin, Texas band Kracker Jack, replacing Stevie Ray Vaughan who had left to begin his solo career. After relocating to Los Angeles, California, he formed Gary Myrick & the Figures, releasing a self-titled album in 1980 which included the hit "She Talks in Stereo." Living in a Movie and the EP Language, featuring the percussive single "Guitar, Talk, Love & Drums" followed in 1981 and 1983, respectively. His combination of blues, rock and new wave won him airplay on modern rock radio stations in the United States and exposure on MTV throughout the 1980s. Two of his songs, "She Talks in Stereo" and "Time to Win," were used in the 1983 film Valley Girl. "She Talks in Stereo" made the top 100 songs of the decade on KROQ Radio.
