Podcast appearances and mentions of Tony Franklin

It is with heavy hearts that we deliver this week's episode honoring the passing of a guitar hero giant who also happened to be an awesome singer and songwriter: John Sykes. He was a guitarist deserving of the title guitar god who rarely got mentioned in the same circles as the Satches, Vais, Rhodes, and Van Halens. Most known for his brief stint in Thin Lizzy at the end of their career and as a brief member of Whitesnake. He should have been a household for playing on the Whitesnake 87 album that sold 25M records worldwide, but he was fired before it came out. Kevin's a huge fan of Blue Murder, so we will focus on that band and some of the lesser-known projects he was involved in while also paying homage to his mainstream successes. New to InObscuria? Typically, what we do is exhume obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. Rest In Peace John.

EP 601 Discussing Current Metal News

EP 601 Discussing Current Metal News

May 11, 1986 is the date The Firm played the Cleveland Colosseum for concert which was broadcast on the Westwood One Radio Network, back in the day. Thus the quality is professionally mixed stereo. The fantastic sound quality brings out the virtuosity of the band. Tony Franklin and Chris Slade are a beautifully solid rhythm section, fluid enough to let Jimmy weave in and around the beat like a dervish. I play fantastic performances (I mean it) of Prelude/Money Can't Buy, You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling, and Live In Peace. This is a really fun and enjoyable concert and I hope you liked it as much as I did. I covered this show awhile back, but after listening I decided it needed a redux.

Jimmy Page was in rough shape by the end of Led Zeppelin. His addictions had ravaged his body and he didn't contribute nearly as much to 1979's In Through The Out Door as he did all previous Zeppelin records. After the death of John Bonham, Jimmy fulfilled his obligations to release Coda, provided the soundtrack to Death Wish 2 as a favor to his neighbor and embarked on a brief fundraiser tour with lots of legends - The ARMS Tour. But he hadn't been very creative and wasn't keeping himself in match shape. After spending some time with his Swan Song brother Paul Rodgers (Free, Bad Company), he concocted a plan to put together a new supergroup for the 80s. WIth Rodgers handling vocal and primary songwriter duties, Jimmy also enlisted Chris Slade (Tom Jones, Manfred Mann's Earth Band, AC/DC, UAWIL #91 guest) and "The Fretless Monster" Tony Franklin who he worked with on Roy Harper's album Whatever Happened to Jugula? This powerful lineup was to be the vehicle that would rejuvenate Jimmy Page and put him back on the road to superstardom. However, Page's contributions weren't what fans had come to expect from the guitar hero and it seemed that Jimmy was a bit out of place in a world dominated by MTV. Single Radioactive was an AOR hit and showcased a bit of what the band could do, ultimately helping their self-titled debut to gold status in the US. But most of the album is uneven and Page isn't showing up with the killer solos that were his calling card. However, Tony Franklin is an absolute monster on this record, filling in the gaps that Page leaves between his flourishes and playing well off the ever steady Slade. While Rodgers vocals are as strong as ever, his songwriting doesn't quite live up to the standard of his previous bands. It was a solid debut which led to a strong sophomore effort in Mean Business (1986) but because it celebrates it's 40th on February 11, 2025, we thought we'd take a hard look at The Firm and why it didn't hit the heights we all hoped it would Check out our new website: Ugly American Werewolf in London Website Visit our sponsor RareVinyl.com and use the code UGLY to save 10%!

Send us a textRock Legend: A Conversation With Drumming Icon Carmine Appice#vanillafudge #rocklegends #rockdrummer #carmineappice #classicrock #rodstewart #jeffbeck #cactus #bluemurder  #kingcobra As drummer for Vanilla Fudge, Carmine Appice set the grooves for the groundbreaking band‘s 1967 psychedelic debut, inadvertently inventing Stoner Rock in the process. The Fudge had no precedent. The band was totally unique. No rock group, up until that point, had ever so lugubriously s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d out well-known pop tunes like the Beatles “Eleanor Rigby” and “Ticket To Ride,” Curtis Mayfield‘s “People Get Ready,” Sonny & Cher‘s “Bang Bang” Rod Argent‘s “She‘s Not There” and, most famously, The Supremes‘ Motown classic “You Keep Me Hangin‘ On” to such hippie heights. With Mark Stein‘s mysterioso wash of Grand Guignol keyboard theatrics, Tim Bogert‘s amazing and trippy bass runs, and guitarist Vince Martell‘s era-happy soloing, Appice boomed like no other drummer in rock history. Their debut album still stands today as a Hard Rock classic. Vanilla Fudge went on to tour with Jimi Hendrix, Cream, and even had Led Zeppelin as an opening act.Post-Fudge, Bogert and Appice formed Cactus (seen as an influence on King‘s X and Van Halen). Post-Cactus, the rhythm section found Grammy-winning Guitar Hero Jeff Beck to form the first supergroup: Beck, Bogert & Appice (BBA).One of the premier showmen in rock, Appice became known worldwide for his astonishing live performances, in addition to becoming a highly sought-after session drummer, recording with countless artists throughout his career. In ‘76, he joined Rod Stewart‘s band, touring, recording and writing two of Stewart‘s biggest hits, “Do Ya Think I‘m Sexy' and “Young Turks.'

April 1989: The world was a strange mix of excess and transition. On one side, the neon-drenched MTV era was still riding high, with hair metal bands like Poison, Motley Crüe, and Def Leppard dominating the charts with their polished, radio-friendly anthems. Power ballads and arena rock were inescapable, and rock fans were tuned in to Bon Jovi and Guns N' Roses. Yet, beneath the surface, change was brewing. Bands like Jane's Addiction and Soundgarden were slowly carving out a new, grittier sound that would soon transform the entire landscape.Amid this backdrop, Blue Murder made their entrance—not as another Sunset Strip glam act, but as a hard-hitting supergroup led by a guitar hero who had already proven himself with Thin Lizzy and Whitesnake. John Sykes wasn't looking to jump on the hair metal bandwagon. Instead, with Blue Murder, he aimed to bring the technical brilliance of the '70s into the late '80s, blending his bluesy, virtuoso guitar work with heavy grooves and intricate song structures. Sykes, along with legendary drummer Carmine Appice and fretless bass wizard Tony Franklin, formed a trio that drew on the legacy of hard rock and metal titans, delivering something deeper and more ambitious than most of their glam metal contemporaries.Yet, for all their talent, Blue Murder wasn't about writing catchy three-minute radio singles. Their self-titled debut album was a blend of towering guitar riffs, thunderous drums, and epic song structures that leaned closer to the ‘70s hard rock tradition of Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple than the bubblegum metal that filled the charts. But in 1989, as hair metal ruled the airwaves and grunge was lurking around the corner, Blue Murder stood out—ambitious, raw, and musically masterful.The Road to Blue MurderJohn Sykes had already proven his chops with Whitesnake's 1987 album, a monster hit that spawned chart-topping singles and dominated MTV. But creative tensions with Whitesnake's leader, David Coverdale, led to Sykes' unceremonious departure just as the band was at the peak of its commercial success. Undeterred, Sykes began writing material for what would eventually become Blue Murder, determined to put together a powerhouse group that could rival his previous success.At first, Sykes wasn't planning to be the frontman. The band initially brought in some big-name vocalists to handle lead duties. Ray Gillen of Black Sabbath and Badlands fame was the first to join the lineup, contributing vocals to some early demos. But Gillen left after just a few months, reportedly due to creative differences. The next contender was Tony Martin, another former Black Sabbath singer, but he, too, didn't stick around for long. After several auditions and some disagreements with the label Geffen Records, the A&R team suggested that Sykes himself take over lead vocals. Despite being known more for his guitar work, Sykes stepped up, and his voice turned out to be a perfect match for the band's sound—gritty, soulful, and powerful.With legendary drummer Carmine Appice, who had played with the likes of Jeff Beck and Vanilla Fudge, and fretless bass virtuoso Tony Franklin, fresh off his stint with The Firm alongside Jimmy Page and Paul Rodgers, Blue Murder had a lineup that was nothing short of rock royalty. The result was a self-titled debut that combined technical brilliance with bluesy hard rock, reflecting Sykes' desire to channel the spirit of '70s heavyweights like Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple, rather than chasing the more formulaic sound of the late-'80s hair metal scene.Building the Sound: A Guitarist as a FrontmanFor a guy who wasn't originally a vocalist, Sykes delivered some serious vocal prowess on Blue Murder. He was filling big shoes, considering he had just played alongside David Coverdale, one of rock's great frontmen. And while the album isn't a complete departure from Whitesnake's bluesy, hard-hitting rock, it's more expansive, both musically and lyrically.The standout track, “Valley of the Kings,” showcases the epic grandeur Blue Murder was going for. Co-written by Black Sabbath's Tony Martin, the song combines powerful riffs, intricate solos, and a historical theme that was rare in the pop-metal scene of the time. This track had a “late '80s Sabbath” feel, blending hard rock with doom-like weight, something that set the band apart from the typical hair metal crowd.Tracks like “Jelly Roll” and “Out of Love” demonstrate the band's diversity—moving between blues-infused swagger and heartfelt ballads, all carried by Sykes' smooth yet powerful vocals and, of course, his signature guitar tone. The hosts also discussed how “Out of Love,” a lesser-known power ballad, was one of those hidden gems deserving far more attention than it ever received.The Legacy of Blue MurderThough the album charted respectably (peaking at #69 on the Billboard 200), it didn't make the impact that Whitesnake's 1987 album did. Part of the issue was the changing musical landscape. By 1989, the glam metal scene was beginning to saturate, and the introspective rawness of grunge was on the horizon. Blue Murder, with its complex musicianship and Sykes' ambitious songwriting, may have been too sophisticated for an audience that was more accustomed to quick-hit rock anthems.But for those in the know, Blue Murder became a cult classic. Its combination of blistering guitar work, thunderous drums, and intricate bass lines made it a musician's album—a performance record. For fans of technical prowess and intricate song structures, Blue Murder was a band worth rediscovering.What Could Have BeenDespite the talent and the potential, Blue Murder never achieved the commercial success many expected. Tensions with their label, Geffen Records, didn't help. Sykes believed Geffen was trying to sabotage the band in hopes he'd rejoin Whitesnake. Whether or not that's true, it's clear that Blue Murder didn't get the marketing push it deserved.After a follow-up album in 1993 (Nothing But Trouble), Blue Murder faded into the background, overshadowed by the grunge explosion. However, Sykes continued to be a respected figure in the hard rock and metal scenes, even though he never reached the heights of Whitesnake's success again.A Call to Revisit a Lost MasterpieceSo why does Blue Murder still resonate with those who know it? It's a record that transcends the pop-metal limitations of its time. If you're a fan of Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake, or just killer guitar work, this album is well worth revisiting. And for those who missed it the first time around, now's the perfect time to dive into one of the best-kept secrets of late '80s metal.Take a listen, let it transport you back to 1989, and then wonder how this gem flew under the radar.Songs in this Episode* Intro - Blue Murder * 22:17 - Black-Hearted Woman * 27:14 - Out of Love * 31:53 - Ptolemy * 37:59 - Billy * 39:04 - It's Too Late (demo w/ Ray Gillen on lead vocals) * Outro - Valley of the KingsMake Your Voice Heard!In our quest to explore the depths of 90s Rock, we rely on you, our listeners.

In today's video, we asked Tony Franklin to dig into the fretless bass lines that helped define his long resume of gigs with artists such as Blue Murder, The Firm, and Whitesnake. We asked him about his time with Kate Bush, the history behind his allegiance to the Fender Precision and why he feels "liberated” playing an unlined fretless bass.

THE CHRIS SLADE TIMELINE ANNOUNCE THEIR RELEASE OF NEW ALBUM ‘TIMESCAPE' EXCLUSIVE ZOOM INTERVIEW WITH LEGENDARY DRUMMER CHRIS SLADE   Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I'm your host Ray Shasho.  Chris Slade started his career at the age of 16 with Tom Jones before he changed his name to Tom Jones. Chris contributed significantly to Jones's world tours and recordings throughout the 60s. Slade was a founding member of Manfred Mann's Earth Band in January 1971. He was to spend seven years with the band, recording eight albums and achieving three UK Top Ten singles in the process: 'Joybringer' (No. 9, October 1973), ‘Blinded By The Light' (No. 6, September 1976 & a multimillion selling #1 in the USA) and ‘Davy's On The Road Again' (No.6, June 1978). After Earthband he spent two years with Uriah Heep, one year with Gary Numan and one year with David Gilmour in 1984. He later teamed up with Jimmy Page, Paul Rodgers and bassist Tony Franklin to form The Firm. They produced two excellent albums for Atlantic in 1985 and 1986 that earned them chart and radio hits including 'Radioactive' and 'Satisfaction Guaranteed.' Chris became the drummer of AC/DC over the course of the next five years, playing on their acclaimed 'Razors Edge' Album, and giving a killer performance on their concert DVD “Live from Donington.” After his stint with AC/DC, Chris joined the prog-rock band Asia, Chris recorded with them on their 2000-2004 studio recordings, 'Aura' and 'Silent Nation' , and put forth his trademark energy-filled live performances on all the subsequent tours that ensued over the next five years. Between 2005 and 2010, Slade played drums for German guitarist Michael Schenker before forming THE CHRIS SLADE TIMELINE in 2012, and at that time marking 50 years as a professional rock drummer. THE CHRIS SLADE TIMELINE has announced their new album "Timescape" which will be released worldwide on July 19th on BraveWords Records. "Timescape" contains completely original new tracks and some of Chris Slade's favorite covers. PLEASE WELCOME LEGENDARY WELSH DRUMMER/SINGER/SONGWRITER CHRIS SLADE TO INTERVIEWING THE LEGENDS …   PURCHASE THE NEW ALBUM BY THE CHRIS SLADE TIMELINE entitled Timescape, available July 19TH on BraveWords Records. The double album will be available on digital platforms, CD and possibly as a double vinyl album. Feat: Chris Slade, Bun Davis, Stevie Gee, James Cornford, Michael J Clark • THE CHRIS SLADE TIMELINE was formed in 2012 with handpicked musicians to celebrate my then 50-year career as a professional rock drummer since starting with Tom Jones at 16 years of age, taking in Manfred Mann, The Firm with Jimmy Page and AC/DC along the way. • We, as The Chris Slade Timeline band have toured UK and Europe extensively playing hits of this lengthy career. After being asked many times if we were going to produce any new original songs of our own, I finally decided to put pen to paper and do something about it, so with the help of my band mates I present TIMESCAPE, our debut album. This album includes a playlist of 9 original songs and a selection of hits from the many artists I have been privileged to perform with over the last 60 years. I hope you enjoy it!   “Side one which consists mostly of original material is an eclectic and innovative mix of awe-inspiring hard and heavy progressive rock melodies, the album plays out much like a discerning Rock Opera. Timescape is a gratifying and artistic musical concept. Side two features an incredible selection of exceptional covers spotlighting many of the band's Chris has been a member of over his illustrious 60-year career. Timescape by Chris Slade Timeline is a sensational album! 5 stars!  ...By music journalist Ray Shasho   FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHRIS SLADE TIMELINE VISIT https://chrisslade.com Official website https://www.facebook.com/ChrisSladeACDC Facebook https://www.instagram.com/chrissladedrums Instagram https://x.com/ChrisSladeDrums Twitter https://www.instagram.com/the.chrisslade.timeline Chris Slade Timeline Instagram https://www.bandsintown.com/a/5974162 Bands in town http://bravewordsrecords.com BraveWords Records   CHRIS SLADE Discography With Tom Jones Along Came Jones (1965) A-Tom-ic Jones (1966) From The Heart (1966) Green, Green Grass of Home (1967) Live: at the Talk of the Town (1967) 13 Smash Hits (1967) Delilah (1968) Tom Jones Live in Las Vegas (1969)   With Toomorrow Toomorrow (1970)   With Tom Paxton How Come The Sun (1971)   With Manfred Mann's Earth Band Manfred Mann's Earth Band (1972) Glorified Magnified (1972) Messin' (1973) Solar Fire (1973) The Good Earth (1974) Nightingales & Bombers (1975) The Roaring Silence (1976) Watch (1978)   With Terra Nova Terra Nova (1980)   With Kai Olsson Crazy Love (1979)   With Frankie Miller Falling in Love (1979)   With Uriah Heep Conquest (1980)   With Gary Numan I, Assassin (1982)   With Denny Laine Anyone Can Fly (1982)   With David Gilmour David Gilmour Live 1984 (1984)   With The Firm The Firm (1985) Mean Business (1986)   With AC/DC The Razors Edge (1990) Live at Donington (1992) AC/DC Live (1992) "Big Gun" (1993)   With Asia Aura (2001) Silent Nation (2004)   With Bloodstock Creator of Worlds   With Damage Control Damage Control (2007) Raw (2008)   With MIWA My Wish Is Your Command (2011) Reach Out and Touch Me (2018)   With The Chris Slade Timeline Timescape (2024) The Chris Slade Timeline Vol. 1 (2014)       Support us on PayPal!

The band consists of Ronnie Borchert on Lead Vocals and Guitar, Carlos Cavazo on Guitar and Backing Vocals, Greg Chaisson on Bass Guitar and Backing Vocals and Stet Howland on Drums and Backing Vocals. Rik Fox has joined the band since the recording of this album. We had the opportunity to have vocalist Ronnie Borchert join us by phone to talk about the band and their new album. Join our conversation and stick around to hear four songs from the record, two picked by Ronnie, two by us. Rock and Roll music that DESERVES to be heard! Pick up a copy of So Shall It Be at www.eonianrecords.comAbout FREAKSHOWFREAKSHOW's debut album was a supergroup featuring Miss Crazy's Ronnie Borchert, Cinderella's Jeff LaBar, Quiet Riot's Frankie Banali, and Tony Franklin, who had played in The Firm, Blue Murder, and Whitesnake. FAST FORWARD to 2023 ...different players, yet another output of AMAZING, hook-filled, blazing rock-n-roll! Ronnie Borchert brings together friends Carlos Cavazo on guitars (Quiet Riot & Ratt), Greg Chaisson on bass (Badlands & Atomic Kings), and Stet Howland on drums (W.A.S.P. & Metal Church) to record the brand-new album “So Shall It Be.” FREAKSHOW's founder, Ronnie Borchert stormed onto the rock scene in 2005 as the frontmanfor San Francisco-based Miss Crazy. His vocal style quickly solidified Miss Crazy as one of the best new melodic rock bands and drew quick comparisons to singers such as Brian Johnson, Tom Keifer, Steve Whitman, and Joe Elliot. Prior to Miss Crazy and FREAKSHOW, Ronnie was the lead vocalist for melodic hard rock and glam bands Amsterdam and Trixie.Songs included in this chat:So Shall It BeM.S.MYou ShineIce Cold Hands 

Legendary iconic drummer Carmine Appice drops  by to chat about The Rod Experience shows....his release of Beck, Bogart and Appice Boxed set "Live From Japan" and more!      As drummer for Vanilla Fudge, Carmine Appice set the grooves for the groundbreaking band‘s 1967 psychedelic debut, inadvertently inventing Stoner Rock in the process. The Fudge had no precedent. The band was totally unique. No rock group, up until that point, had ever so lugubriously s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d out well-known pop tunes like the Beatles “Eleanor Rigby” and “Ticket To Ride,” Curtis Mayfield‘s “People Get Ready,” Sonny & Cher‘s “Bang Bang” Rod Argent‘s “She‘s Not There” and, most famously, The Supremes‘ Motown classic “You Keep Me Hangin‘ On” to such hippie heights. With Mark Stein‘s mysterioso wash of Grand Guignol keyboard theatrics, Tim Bogert‘s amazing and trippy bass runs, and guitarist Vince Martell‘s era-happy soloing, Appice boomed like no other drummer in rock history. Their debut album still stands today as a Hard Rock classic. Vanilla Fudge went on to tour with Jimi Hendrix, Cream, and even had Led Zeppelin as an opening act.Post-Fudge, Bogert and Appice formed Cactus (seen as an influence on King‘s X and Van Halen). Post-Cactus, the rhythm section found Grammy-winning Guitar Hero Jeff Beck to form the first supergroup: Beck, Bogert & Appice (BBA).One of the premier showmen in rock, Appice became known worldwide for his astonishing live performances, in addition to becoming a highly sought-after session drummer, recording with countless artists throughout his career. In ‘76, he joined Rod Stewart‘s band, touring, recording and writing two of Stewart‘s biggest hits, “Do Ya Think I‘m Sexy' and “Young Turks.' He left Stewart to record his first solo album, “Rockers', and tour Japan and North America with an allstar band. . In the early 80's, he toured with OZZY Osborne ,Ted Nugent . In the mid 80's, he formed King Kobra for two Capitol albums and international touring And in the late 80's, Carmine played on a Pink Floyd record “Momentary Lapse of Reason' and formed Blue Murder with Whitesnake‘s John Sykes and The Firm‘s Tony Franklin. In the early 90s, he pounded away soul-style for The Edgar Winter Group.As an educator, Carmine was the first to legitimize rock drumming with his landmark book, The Realistic Rock Drum Method, selling over 400,000 copies (now in video format). He was the first Rock Drummer and Rock Musician to conduct instructional clinics and symposiums around the world.https://carmineappice.net

Location intelligence is already a part of our everyday lives, from using our phones to get directions to finding a nearby restaurant. But businesses now are starting to see the transformative potential of location intelligence. In fact, 95% of businesses now consider location intelligence to be essential, thanks to its ability to lower costs, improve customer experience, and enhance operations. But many businesses struggle to get the most out of their location data because it's often siloed in different departments or systems. AI and digital twins can help businesses to break down data silos and create a single, comprehensive view of their spaces in real time. AI can be used to analyze large volumes of location data and identify patterns and trends. Digital twins are virtual replicas of real-world objects or environments that can be used to track and monitor changes over time. In this podcast, we discuss the importance of location intelligence, the use of AI and digital twins for tracking and monitoring, and how to implement AI-powered tracking and monitoring safely and securely. Join us as we explore these ideas with: Tony Franklin, GM and Senior Director of Federal and Aerospace Markets, Intel  Christina Cardoza, Editorial Director, insight.tech Tony answers our questions about The importance of location intelligence Businesses' challenges with achieving real-time insights The role digital twins and artificial intelligence play Tools and technologies necessary for success Using Intel® SceneScape OpenVINO™, Geti™ for location intelligence Addressing privacy concerns with AI-powered tracking and monitoring Future advancements of AI, digital twins, and location intelligence Related Content To learn more about the importance of location intelligence, read Monitor, Track, and Analyze Any Space with Intel® SceneScape.

Commercial and narrative filmmaker Carlyn Hudson swung by the Official studio to talk shop with hosts Mark Rinehart, Tony Franklin, and Matthew Sultan. Carlyn Hudson is a left-of-center comedy director and writer from a little bitty town in Texas who now calls Los Angeles home. Her horror/comedy short WAFFLE premiered in competition at SXSW in 2020 and has since been played on thousands of laptops (and hopefully a few TV screens) across the globe, picking up multiple best director awards in the process. Another reviewer compared her to Jordan Peele but she's too embarrassed to cite that one here. Other recent shorts include the dark comedy/sci-fi THE WORKPLACE, distributed by Dust and Gunpowder and Sky, and NICE ASS, another SXSW premiere about, you guessed it, a giant butt. As a commercial director, Carlyn specializes in stylish dialogue comedy and has worked with brands such as JIF (one of Source Creative's top campaigns of 2020), Lexus, Hasbro, Kroger, and Annovera, whose campaign starring Whitney Cummings won a Cannes Silver Lion in 2021. In 2020, Carlyn received the high honor of being in the top 2% of Taylor's Swift's Spotify listeners *in the world.* When she's not listening to Folklore on repeat, she's likely bossing around her partner, Alexandria, and attempting to train their growing cadre of rescue pets. 

The illustrious director Jordan Brady dropped by the Official studios (www.weareofficial.com) in Atwater Village to talk shop with hosts Matt Sultan, Tony Franklin and Mark Rinehart.

Jordan directs advertising campaigns for brands and agencies from all over the world. Given his background, it's no surprise he has directed comedy giants as Will Ferrell, Kevin Hart, Keegan-Michael Key, Rory Scovel and more. Other notable celebrities include international star Arnold Schwarzenegger and country music legend Brad Paisley, campaigns starring actress Kathryn Hahn for Chrysler and Lamorne Morris for Buick. Equally as nimble with visual effects, he's shot over 50 sleight-of-hand magic trick spots for Toyota Saatchi Los Angeles that effortless combine in-camera and digital trickery. Notable advertising awards include multiple Clios, National Gold, ADDY's, Gold Promax Award, One Show, D Show, Pencil, AICP Awards, and more.

My guest today is Mr. Joel Hoekstra. Joel is a fantastic guitarist who is holds down a number of high profile gigs, among them Whitesnake (of which he is a current member), Night Ranger , Cher, Trans- Siberian Orchestra, Rock of Ages and many others. As many musicians do Joel spent years paying his dues both in Chicago and later New York City where he worked gigs of all types including Broadway shows and even playing bass with the Turtles! Not just a sideman however Joel has many solo releases under his own name including the latest record called “Running Games” that features an all-star cast of musicians including Russell Allen (vocals), Tony Franklin (bass), Vinny Appice (drums), and Derek Sherinian (keyboards) as well as Jeff Scott Soto on background vocals.In this interview Joel takes us into what it takes to land these high profile gigs and how networking and hard work still pay off.LINKSCheck out “Running Games hereJoel's WebsiteJoel Hoekstra FacebookJoel's InstagramSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-riff-raff-with-shane-theriot/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
