Is the rock star life all it's cracked up to be? When did he know it was it time to step off and why'd he return home to develop some of the best mallard duck holes in the US?

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.
For mange rockfans er 1977 synonymt med den såkaldte "77-punk", der i høj grad definerede den nye punkbølge med The Sex Pistols og The Ramones i spidsen. Men 1977 var også - eller især - hårdt rockende tiltag fra bl.a. AC/DC, Motörhead, Thin Lizzy, Rainbow og UFO, samt overbevisende pioner-metal udgivelser fra amerikanske Riot og engelske Judas Priest. Og var der måske et lille inspirationsmæssigt link mellem kvindebandet The Runaways i Los Angeles og undergrundsbandet Iron Maiden i London? Også dét runder vi i vores podcastafsnit fra det tunge rock år 1977. Som i de foregående 70'er år er studievært Jens "Jam" Rasmussen i yderst kompetent selskab med heavy metal-eksperterne Steffen Jungersen og Michael Stützer Hansen. Nedslagspunkter: - AC/DC lander midt i Londons punk virvar, og forkynder rock'n'roll musikkens lyksaligheder. - Thin Lizzy mener det alvorligt med deres 8. album "Bad Reputation". - The Sex Pistols og The Ramones kommer begge til Danmark, hvor den 13-årige Lars Ulrich er blandt koncertgæsterne. - Motörhead albumdebuterer et rock'n'rollet sted mellem heavy rock og punk. - Hvordan oplevede vores studiegæster så 77-punken? Ganske positivt, såmænd. - Hård rock anno '77 var ikke bare punk, men også Blue Ôyster Cult, KISS og Rainbow. - David Coverdale solodebuterer med albummet "White Snake" og får inspiration til sit kommende bandnavn. - 1977 er også hitlistevenlig boogie rock fra Status Quo og arena rockende klassiker-omkvæd fra Queen. - I Nordamerika leverer Rush og Ted Nugent rockhits på hver deres måde. - UFO udgiver "Lights Out" og tænder lys i blandt andre Iron Maidens Steve Harris, som måske også hører et særligt nummer med kvindebandet The Runaways? - Amerikanske Riot laver solid heavy metal på debutalbummet "Rock City", der er på forkant med den forestående og banebrydende New Wave of British Heavy metal. - Slade polerer lyden i Amerika, Aerosmith rocker videre samme steds, mens Alice Cooper kæmper med alkoholisme og dårligt mentalt helse hjemme i Detroit, Michigan. - Et par triste sensommerskæbner: I august afgår rock'n'roll kongen Elvis Presley ved døden, og måneden efter går glam rock-ikonet Marc Bolan bort. - Judas Priest banker hovedet på metal-sømmet og sætter deres læder og nitter på plads på tredje albummet "Sin After Sin". Tag med os tilbage til det tunge og mangfoldige rock år 1977, så skal vi nok sørge for både heavy metal, punk, rock'n'roll, hard rock, glam og garage rock! Rigtig god fornøjelse, og på gensyn i 1978!

English born guitarist Stephen Chesney grew up in a musical household in Essex not far from the Sonuus homebase of Cambridge in East Anglia. Picking up the guitar at age 6 has given him plenty of time to go through every bit of gear imaginable along the way.After moving to the United States in the mid 2000's, Stephen toured with a nationally touring act playing venues from House of Blues to Arenas and festivals across the US.In 2012 Stephen relocated to Los Angeles where he has jammed with the likes of drummer Chris Frazier (Steve vai/Whitesnake) vocalist Eric Dover (Slash's Snakepit/Jellyfish) Matt Laug (Christina Augilera/Alanis Morrisette/Slash) and more. However, most importantly he began work on his first solo effort, assembling a band fronted by Warrant/Cry of Love/Lynch Mob vocalist Robert Mason along with Ace Frehley/Brides of Destruction drummer Scot Coogan, Edgar Winter Band bassist Koko Powell, Slash/Loggins & Messina Sax player Jim Wheeler and Ray Charles' trumpet player Mitch Manker.Both live and in the studio, Stephen now uses the Sonuus Wahoo as his Wah of choice along with the i2M musicport to help compose, arrange and orchestrate various instrumentation for not only his songs, but other artists that he works along side as a producer such as Cee-Lo Green/2ne1 guitarist and songwriter Sharon Aguilar.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Sammy Hagar is up first this week. His new song "Encore, Thank You, Goodnight" is out now. Sammy talks about the song, how it came to him in a dream, and why Wolfgang Van Halen didn't play on it. Sammy is really upfront and candid when he talks, which is appreciated. He also shared his thoughts on playing the last Ozzy/Black Sabbath show and the songs he'll be singing. Doug Aldrich from The Dead Daisies is next. Doug fought a cancer battle last year and talked about that. I'm very happy that he's come out of it, and he says he gets stronger every day. The band dropped a new album called Looking For Trouble, where they cover classic blues songs. He told me how the idea came about and spoke about the recording process and location. He also shared stories of rockers, including David Coverdale of Whitesnake, Ronnie James Dio, Reb Beach, and the first time he met Randy Rhoads. I could talk to Doug all day! Finally, singer Nate Peck joins me. This is the first time I've ever had the chance to speak with Nate. The Michigan-born singer talks about being on American Idol, through getting the job with Firehouse. The first gig they played, he didn't even get to rehearse! Nate speaks of his influences, singing these classic songs, and lots more. It was great to connect with Nate!
Youtube FacebookImaginepeakstudios.comMatthewhartleymusic.comBio Born into and immersed in music, Matthew Hartley, Charleston-based Christian Rocksongwriter, embodies the importance of valuing your journey. His own life runs parallelto his creative process, and while he may be curious about the outcome, he's notconcerned by it.Rather, he's ignited by the lessons, growth, and opportunities that come from honoringyour process and pursuing your passions regardless of your circumstances.As young as 8 years old, Matthew recalls always having a notebook by his side to writedown lyrics anytime they channeled through. He grew up in the era of vinyl records andcassette tapes, jamming to hair bands like Poison, Whitesnake, Van Halen, and BonJovi. He was enamored by the power of rock and listened for sheer enjoyment.Influenced by the genre's raw energy at a young age, we timelapse to Matthew as anadult, where his life experiences led him to rediscover a faith he had always carriedwithin him. While the emotional conviction of rock shaped his guitar playing andsongwriting style, it was his life's journey that naturally integrated Christian themes intohis music.He shares an example of when he wrote his first Christian rock song in 2001 called“Rise Above," which marked a reckoning with his own sins, and an acknowledgmentthat things had to change. However, while he was growing in character, he recalls that itwasn't until later in life that he embraced the true blessing of faith when faced withanother hardship.He elaborates on a time he went through a debilitating divorce, and as he navigated thepainful disentanglement from the complexities of family separation, he found himself athis lowest point. And in that moment of exhaustion and total breakdown, the lyrics:When your heart is bawling,You know that Heaven's calling …out your nameRepresent a pivotal point in his story. In his newest single, “Heaven's Calling,” Matthewshares that when you're at your most vulnerable it's exactly when God speaks theloudest. Heaven is calling your name to show you there is hope and love even in thedarkness.“God is working on you and he will get you through it. You have to have faith throughthe storm,” he states encouragingly.Another theme in “Heaven's Calling,” that Matthew unravels is the humanity that birthsfrom devastation. In the May 18th premier of the “Heaven's Calling” music video, thereare images of hurricane damage, flooding, and rescue missions from the disaster.Hitting close to home, literally and figuratively, Matthew shares that after the destructionof Hurricane Helene in 2024, he witnessed firsthand the valor of those rescuing, theheart of those helping, and the resilience of those who survive a natural disaster.“Love is powerful; the best of people through devastation is remarkable,” he says.“And for those, Heaven's calling [too].”In conjunction with the hurricane footage and rescue scenes, other parts of the musicvideo feature Matthew performing on rooftops around downtown Charleston withdifferent historic backdrops like St. Michael's Church, Cannon Park, and the CharlestonCity Market.After building a storyboard and scouring the city for permits and approvals to shootdifferent church features and historic sites, Matthew and his team creatively, andthoughtfully sewed all the pieces together. Part of obtaining those permits involvedsubmitting the song's lyrics, and it was serendipitous, almost as if the city was equallyonboard about spreading his message. With the success of it all, he was able to literallysing from the rooftops that “Heaven's calling out… your name.”While reflecting on the development of the project, which he shares was his favoriteaspect of it all, he emphasized the gratification of creating something from nothing.“To do that is such a blessing. It's a process of creation, and you have to be flexible andfluid and enjoy the ride. It's not about the money or the outcome - it's about the journey”he says.He also humbly noted that he couldn't do it alone. He knew that bringing his vision tofruition required collaboration and the culmination of many parts from key producers andsession musicians, to cinematographers and municipalities.Pulling back the curtain even more, Matthew began writing the song at the beginning of2025, and with his melody, lyrics, and chord structure in place, he set out to find high-quality professionals to level up his creation.He gives a shout-out to David Kershenbaum, renowned producer for Tracy Chapmanand Duran Duran, who livened Matthew's vocals and musicality. Excited by the result,Matthew shares that “Heaven's Calling,” will be the first single in an upcoming EP.What's more, Matthew shares that a goal of this is that after learning from hisexperiences, he wants to share and impart lessons and resources to other musiciansembarking on creative endeavors through his production and publishing company,Imagine Peak Studios. When asked what words of advice he'd like to leave for readers and listeners alike, he reminds us: “Do not let your circumstances dictate your journey. Age or time is irrelevant, and if you have a passion for something just do it. Praise God. Love your family and neighbors. And, live your life.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

Really thrilled to be joined once again by one of the most in demand drummers in Rock n Roll, Brian Tichy back again for Part 2! We once again delve into Brian's amazing career, we kick off talking about Brian's time at the revered Berklee college of music in 1986 and how a drum clinic by a young (26 years old) Dave Weckl inspired him and still does to this day. Brian's enthusiasm and love for music shines through more than any other person i have ever spoken too, he delights in telling us about how he felt learning his first few simple grooves on the drums and the excitement that this brought him. We also talk about his current gig with the legendary Gene Simmons from Kiss! Kiss were the band that grabbed his attention as a young boy and how it felt when he got the call offering him in the gig. I have loved speaking to Brian for both of these episodes, he speaks total sense and has almost a childlike joy for music, be it making it or listening to it, i dare you to listen to these converstions and not be inspired by them. what a wonderfuly guy. Thanks Brian.

On the 63rd Episode of the Album Review Crew of Shout It Out Loudcast, Tom, Zeus & special guest, the co-host of the Growin' Up Rock Podcast, Steven Michael, review the self-titled 1987 breakthrough album from Whitesnake. Whitesnake was a veteran British blues hard rock band with limited success in the United States. By 1987, David Coverdale wanted to change the band's style and image to a more Americanized version. He started with the music. The album is considered Whitesnake's "hair Metal" phase. The band was always a double guitar band, but this time, guitarist extraordinaire, John Sykes would contribute all the guitars and assist in the lyrics. Long time bassist, Neil Murray was on board as was top notch drummer, Aynsley Dunbar. Finalizing this lineup is Shout It Out Loudcast's favorite, Don Airey. After the music was completed, Coverdale proceeded to fire all the band members and hired an all star lineup to tour and more importantly appear in the MTV videos, including, Vivian Campbell, Adrian Vandenberg, Rudy Sarzo and Tommy Aldrich. But, more importantly he added his then fiancée, Tawny Kitaen to their videos and the band and the album exploded. Songs like "Here I Go Again" and "Is This Love" made it to Number 1 and 2 on radio respectively. The videos were all over MTV. The album was produced by Mike Stone and Keith Olsen. The album made it to Number 2 on the Billboard Charts and went 8X Platinum. The success of the band is credited to Coverdale's amazing vocals and frontman capabilities and John Sykes legendary melodic guitar work. However, the videos and Tawny Kitaen's impact cannot be overstated. As usual the boys breakdown and dissect the tracks and rank the songs. They then rank the album and the album cover against the previous albums reviewed on the Album Review Crew. This was the Patreon pick. Please make sure you join!

Davey Oberlin joins Marc Matthews to reveal how he transforms classic rock anthems into synthwave masterpieces through his project, All The Damn Vampires.Davey breaks down his cover of Whitesnake's Is This Love, uncovering the creative process behind reinterpreting rock songs in a different musical style. From drop F guitar tunings that create wall-shaking heaviness to vocal production techniques that achieve 80s aesthetics in modern synthwave production, every decision is made with precision. "I picture that dark studio vocal booth in the '80s," Davey explains, "then try to get the sound that matches the vibe."The conversation explores using vintage effects in synthwave production and the unique challenges of blending organic and electronic elements. Davey introduces “Vice Core,” his signature fusion of Miami Vice aesthetics, yacht rock sensibilities, and metal intensity—creating an entirely new sonic experience. He also shares insights into how audiences react to synthwave covers of rock classics, balancing nostalgia with innovation.What You'll Learn:Arrangement strategies for synthwave compositions that retain the emotional impact of rock originalsMixing and mastering techniques for synthwave tracks that balance analog warmth with modern polishWhy so many metal musicians transition into synthwave and how the two genres overlapHow to reinterpret rock songs while preserving their essence and avoiding common pitfallsThe role of quad-tracking rhythm guitars in creating a massive yet controlled soundThe importance of visual storytelling in synthwave production and its impact on sonic choicesWhether you're a producer experimenting with how to cover a rock song, a guitarist exploring electronic textures, or simply fascinated by the evolution of synthwave, Davey delivers an inspiring look at reinvention, collaboration, and pushing creative boundaries.Links mentioned in this episode:Follow Davey OberlinFollow All The Damn VampiresValhalla Vintage VerbNuro Audio XvoxFab Pro R 2 Support the showDownload your FREE Producer Growth Scorecard Follow Marc Matthews' Socials:Instagram | YouTube | Synth Music Mastering Thanks for listening!!

Released in 2008 and quickly lumped in with the soon-to-be-maligned British nu-rave emergence, Late Of The Pier's one-and-only release 'Fantasy Black Channel' now stands out as a bit of an undersung cult classic.

This week on America's Podcast, we dive into the self-titled debut of Blue Murder—an album packed with enough guitar wizardry to make even your air guitar feel inadequate. But does it still rock as hard as its reputation, or is it just another relic of hairspray-fueled excess? No spoilers, but let's just say we have thoughts. We also take a moment to honor the late, great John Sykes, a guitar hero who shredded his way into rock history. His influence is undeniable, but does this album showcase his finest work? Tune in to find out! And of course, our Tracks of the Week bring the heat: Mooger channels the energy of Dreamstate's "Dayseeker." Marc gets nostalgic with Whitesnake's "Bad Boys." Jerry introduces us to Blueburst's "Vanish." Until next time, as Casey Kasem used to say—Keep your feet on the ground, and keep reaching for the stars (and maybe a good distortion pedal while you're at it! #bluemurder #johnsykes #rockpodcast
