It's a special encore presentation of my interview with Prescott Niles from The Knack (April 2022). Prescott talks about the legendary rise and fall of one of the fastest selling groups of the late 1970's! While most people remember The Knack for their 1979 single, "My Sharona", the story behind The Knack and what would happen next is absolutely amazing! Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and the Rock102 app! Brought to you by Metro Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Chicopee!

On this day in 1979, the biggest song of that year reached Gold certification in America! My Sharona made the Knack one of the most talked about bands in the world, but... the group were never able to capitalise on its success. On this episode you'll hear from Prescott Niles, the man who played the iconic bass line on that song, talk about some of the reasons the group never kicked on.To hear the full interview with Prescott Niles please check out Episode 55 of Vintage Rock Pod!

It's the tail end of the 70s, and top 40 music is heavily leaning to disco and AOR. Sure there's plenty of other things out there, but the charts point not only to disco artists, but pop singers jumping on board the disco train (Barbara Streisand, Kiss, Paul McCartney and Wings).Then 4 guys based in Los Angeles recorded and mixed a powerful rock and roll album in a little over 10 days, and for a brief time, the world couldn't get enough of them.Welcome to episode 157 of Love That Album.It seemed that you couldn't turn on the radio without hearing that flammed drum beat that held together a song as lustful as anything in rock music, My Sharona. Doug Fieger, Berton Averre, Prescott Niles and Bruce Gary released their debut album Get The Knack and music fans went crazy. Of course, things turned sour with fickle fans and the media who had to take these guys down a peg or two. That's not the story (in the main) that this episode is about.I am hugely privileged to have Knack bassist Prescott Niles join me to talk about the 6 albums the band released over their career, putting paid to the lie that My Sharona is all they accomplished....but this episode is about more than just The Knack. Prescott talks about his music life starting in Brooklyn, and his time working with musicians like Velvet Turner, Arthur Lee, and George Harrison. He also talks about Fillmore East and Woodstock, and tells some interesting tales about Jimi Hendrix, and a few others.This is a mammoth conversation we recorded over two sessions (one wasn't enough to get all these stories out). I am hugely grateful to Prescott for taking the time to join me on the show – something 15 year old me who played Get The Knack to death on original release could never have imagined. I'd also liked to thank Randy Haecker who hooked me up with Prescott.So put on your skinny ties and download the show.Download this episode of LTA from your podcast app of choice.The wider back catalogue of episodes can also be found at http://lovethatalbumpodcast.blogspot.comLove That Album is proudly part of the Pantheon Podcast network.

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!!

Almost 2 years to the date, Pat "Pooch" had come on The FLO Guitar-Enthusiasts Radio show and we talked about Punk. Pat was one of the founding members of Flipside Magazine, a indie publication that pretty much documented punk music, especially in Los Angeles. We quickly realized there was way too much to cover so we planned on the next show. Tonight we talk about the UK punk scene. Joining me and Pat are Jean-Pierre Durand, who was on the first show with Pat, and a knowledgeable follower of the scene. Also returning is Prescott Niles, of the Knack, who hung out with us last time. And also we have Mick Rossi, of Slaughter And The Dogs joining us. Join us as we take a closer look at the UK punk scene!

It is truly an honor to welcome back Prescott Niles back to the show! Actually we had him on The FLO Guitar-Enthusiasts and we barely scratched the surface of what this amazing musician can do! Prescott is well known for being the bassist of the band The Knack, and his iconic bass riff for "My Sharona" is known by a lot of musicians over several generations. But there is more to Prescott than that, and that is what we will explore tonight. We will talk to Prescott about, while in the Knack, working with producer Don Was and drummer Terry Bozzio and explore some amazing bass playing on the Knack albums. Also we take a look at life after the Knack, his working with George Harrison, Josie Cotton (featured in the movie Valley Girl), Velvet Turner and Randy California and will play some rare clips of some legendary sessions!! And we will talk about his playing bass for Missing Persons! We will be talking tone, basses and Prescott will be bringing some interesting basses in his collection to show us!!
