I had the opportunity to interview Richie Zito ahead of his induction into the Rock Godz Hall Of Fame. To the average music fan, Richie Zito may not be a household name, but my guess is if you listened to music in the 80s and 90s you know his work. Musician, Producer, Songwriter, Arranger, Richie Zito has played on and produced albums for Elton John, Blondie, Ratt, Cheap Trick, White Lion, Richie Kotzen, The Cult, Tyketto, Poison, and that just scratches the surface.

Episode Description: The year is 1981 and it’s time for another episode of "This Ain’t No Disco". We are covering hard rock and metal albums released in 1981 and we brought along a special guest. Ed Spangenberg from Klick Tee Shop joins us to talk about his new Kiss inspired T-Shirts and tell us what he was listening to in 1981. What’s The Story: 1981 was a killer year for hard rock and metal music. We saw a ton of soon to be great bands form, and a host of already established bands put out some of their greatest albums. I was a freshman in high school and well on my way to establishing my taste for guitar driven rock. Take a trip down memory lane with us, as we discuss and play some of the music released, movies and TV, and some of the historic milestones of 1981.

No one likes falling short of number one. “If you ain’t first, you’re last” is a Ricky Bobby quote that will live forever. We aren’t sure that this quote is accurate for the music business. The Billboard 100 has a 99 other places you can be and you’re just fine. On this episode, we celebrate the 80s and look at some of the guitar driven rock hits during the decade. Being #1 is important in life. It defines you as a winner. Although, there were rock/hard rock bands that reached #1 on the Billboard 100 in the 80s, many were ballads. On this episode, we explore all the 80s songs (that we consider guitar driven rock, which at times is not easy to disseminate), that charted on the Hot 100 but failed to reach #1…..and as you probably guessed, our opinions vary on several of the choices. So, bring on your inner “Poindexter” and enjoy this stat ridden episode.

In this edition of "Have You Heard", we try and turn up the volume on some killer rock that you may or may not have heard of yet. I also catch up with Canadian rockers Striker. I met up with Striker vocalist Dan Cleary as the band rolled into town on their current US tour. Dan and I talk about everything from the benefits of being a Canadian band to the current struggles of breaking a band and the latest album release "Play To Win". Striker is a Canadian heavy metal band from Edmonton formed in 2007. The band's early material had a sound influenced more by old school thrash metal, but their more recent material has a more melodic sound influenced by traditional heavy metal.

Episode Description: Ron Young and Little Caesar were in a "can't miss" situation in the late 80s. With a major record deal on Geffen, a mammoth manager, and A&R guy,along with the biggest producer in rock, all in the bands corner. No way this will miss..... right? The following interview with lead singer Ron Young from Little Caesar is nothing short of crazy. It should stand as a cautionary tale of "There's no such thing as a sure thing in the record business." Even if your not a fan of Little Caesar or not that familiar with Ron Young, you will enjoy this candid conversation about touring with Kiss, making music, and the music business in general. What’s The Story: Nobody quite knew what to think of these long haired, tattooed bikers singing such soulful, yet ballsy, rock music when they arrived on the scene in Los Angeles in 1987. They stood out amongst the "Hair Bands" that populated the music scene at the time…..a distinction the band wore as a badge of honor. Much hype surrounded the band as they were managed by music legend Jimmy Iovine, guided by legendary A&R man John Kalodner and produced by Bob Rock. It seemed like a formula for success, yet the band met an unfortunate set of circumstances that left many scratching their heads shortly after the release of their self-titled debut album. The bands lead singer Ron Young shares all the trials and tribulations of their interrupted trip to super-stardom.

Episode Description: Steven Interviews JETBOY guitarist Billy Rowe. We discuss the bands history, Rock and Roll Relic Guitars, and the newest album “Born To Fly”. What’s The Story: Founded in 1983 by guitarists Billy Rowe and Fernie Rod, JETBOY continues to carry their style of Rock N’ Roll into the 21st century with the same fury that existed 34 years ago. Long recognized as one of the perfecter of the glam genre, JETBOY was one of a handful of acts that got the attention of music fans and record executives alike. While Hollywood was loaded with musical talent, San Francisco had but one true leader at the time, and that leader was JETBOY. Now a cross-generational powerhouse, JETBOY is experiencing a resurgence in popularity that can only be attributed to their musical relevance. Rock N’ Roll fans the world over are beginning to revisit the music that helped to shape a generation, and is now becoming the soundtrack for their offspring. Songs like Feel the Shake, Heavy Chevy, Stomp it (Down to the Bricks), and their up rocked up version of Folsom Prison Blues have struck a chord with an increasingly more discerning audience. Celebrating their 25th anniversary In 2008, the founding members of JETBOY (Billy Rowe, Fernie Rod and Mickey Finn) are dedicated to bringing the party atmosphere back to Rock N’ Roll. In June 2017 the band signed a deal with Italian based label Frontiers Records. The band will record a full length album for the first time in over 20 years, Release date scheduled for 2018. - Bio From Jetboy Rocks Website Everyone’s got a Rock N Roll story to tell, so tell us yours @growinuprock.comLike us and leave us a Review on our Face Book page - @growinuprock or Podchaser Follow us on Twitter - @growinuprock because let’s face it I need all the friends I can get!!

Episode Description: We cover 15 songs we just can’t live without. If all music was wiped out forever, what 15 songs would you save? Sonny and I like a lot of different music. If we only had 15 songs to save, we think it should be a variety. What’s The Story: Often times a listener will come to us with feedback on past episodes and even an idea for a future episode. This episode is a perfect example of that. Listener Tony Smith came to us with an idea, we thought we could even turn into a series. This episode is a little off the beaten path from our normal episodes, but we think our listeners have broad rock n roll taste. Let us know if you dig it or hate it.

Episode Description:In this episode fellow podcaster Loose Cannon from the Cobras & Fire Podcast and I discuss the Freedom Fest Weekend getaway to Denver. Loose was considerably late to both events and inappropriately offers to grease my wife’s wrist up in order to obtain free admission into the fairgrounds for Freedom Fest. All of this plus Gary Cherone from Extreme, giving the crowd “The Cherone” wave leads to some pretty funny and interesting discussions. What’s The Story:I ran off to Denver with my wife for the week to hike and take in two concerts over the weekend. On Friday night we went to the Gothic Theater to see The Struts and opener The Glorious Sons. Then on Saturday, we finished off the weekend of concerts with an all day festival at a fairground in Golden, Colorado that featured Vixen, Steelheart, Great White, Extreme, and Queensryche. I phoned up friend and fellow Podcaster Loose Cannon from the Cobras and Fire Podcast to hang out and catch all the rock in roll. We did just that and had a great time.

Hollywood does his best Pat Sajak impression and dishes out the questions to see who the real rock n roll geek is in this match up.

Episode Description: Gold albums are great, but diamonds are a band's best friend. In this episode, we are covering all the Diamond Certified rock albums. Sonny and I talk about the albums we own and the ones we don't, and we share our thoughts and feelings on some of the artist. We even play some guitar-driven rock that might be out of the norm for our show, but we promise you'll enjoy it. What's The Story? Once upon a time bands sold millions of records worldwide, and for a select few, their albums reached Diamond Status, meaning the album sold at least 10 million copies. This is a crazy statistic! In the world of rock n roll, diamond-certified albums are few and far between. Especially considering how greatly the music landscape has changed in the past 10 years. Multi-platinum albums have given way to streaming services and singles downloads. Rock bands and the great albums they made are unfortunately seen as a thing of the past. Not all diamond certified rock albums would be considered hard rock, but all of the albums we discuss can no doubt be considered rock n roll records. We get a chance to play some guitar-driven tracks from albums we love that don't always get fair play on our show, but make no mistake about it, were part of this rock n roll path we travel.

Episode Description: Who's playing this club tonight? Let's find out as we decide to plan the ultimate club concert consisting of bands from the 70s , 80s, 90s, 2000s, and more recently from the last few years. Sounds easy? Not so fast, we have a few ground rules to lay down. Warning this episode is full of great music and a whole bunch of crazy laughs, so kick back and turn it up. What’s The Story: Over the years Sonny and I have gone to tons of concerts in all kinds of venues. Arenas, Amphitheaters, Stadiums, Domes, Theaters and Clubs. That being said, we missed many along the way. It's always fun to see a band in a club that should be playing in an arena. This has happened to both of us a few times over the years and it creates a memorable experience. We this we can put together two amazing club concerts from people we have missed along the way, and in the process give people a most memorable experience.

Episode Description: Whitesnake's guitarist Joel Hoekstra returns to the show to discuss the new Whitesnake album Flesh & Blood. We also find out if Joel has been practicing his jump shot lately to prepare for the upcoming MORC basketball game in February. What’s The Story: In May Whitesnake released it's first album of original material since 2011's Forevermore. The new "Flesh And Blood" record marks the first Whitesnake album of original material to feature guitarist Joel Hoekstra. Joel first appeared with Whitesnake on The Purple Album in 2015, which was an album re-recording some of the classic Deep Purple material. Joel is a hard working in demand guitarist that splits his time with Whitesnake, Cher, and Trans Siberian Orchestra. When he's not playing guitar he loves to practice his jump shot on the courts. We were happy to catch back up with Joel as he shared the full story on the new Flesh And Blood record which we think is awesome.

Episode Description: Hollywood's Wild Hair Volume 2 goes from doing a solo episode to being joined by long time friend Tony Musallam of the band Restrayned. The idea is to reminiscence a bit, share some stories of yesteryear, play some killer music and basically make you laugh a little. What's The Story ? : Although the original Wild Hair idea was to do solo episodes, there is something about a close friend joining you that just creates magic. Hollywood and Tony have a blast just being two dudes hanging out sharing stories of Growin' Up Rock while playing some songs from Ratt, Winger, Lynch Mob, Saints and Sinners, Restrayned, Bullet For My Valentine, Battle Beast, Black Label Society, and Yngwie Malmsteen. Stories of murder, drunken women, and crazy concert experiences will make you laugh and probably cry tears of stupidity.

Episode Description: We celebrate back 2 back album release awesomeness. In addition I give my review of the recent Dio Hologram concert. What’s The Story: People in the music business have been using the term “sophomore jinx” for years to describe bands that had all their lives to write an amazing debut album, only to follow it up with a heaping pile of crap. In this episode we celebrate a few of our favorite bands that released 2 albums back 2 back that were killer from start to finish. This does not need to be the first 2 albums in a bands catalog, but merely 2 albums that were released back 2 back in the band's career. In addition to all of that great rock n roll, I give the details of the Dio hologram concert I recently attended. Was Dio eaten by a dragon on stage? Does he appear in the latest Game Of Thrones? Does he greet you at the door of the concert venue? Find out all the answers, as I cover it in detail.

Episode Description: It's our 100th episode and we are celebrating in a big way. We are honored to have on the show with us, Y & T founding member Dave Meniketti. We figured in Dave's 45 year career, there hasn't been a question he hasn't answered, so our man Hollywood came up with the idea of giving Dave the option to pick 3 albums from different eras of Y & T's career to discuss. Dave picks an awesome 3 pack of albums and shares some great stories with us about the band and the recording of each of the albums. What's The Story ?: I am a huge Y & T fan and have been since the mid 80s. My fandom pales in comparison to Sonny "Hollywood" Pooni. Sonny has seen the band 49 times as of this recording. According to him, if you grew up a rock fan in the Bay Area of California, you have a responsibility of being a Y & T fan. So it goes without saying when we needed a very special guest for our 100th episode, we looked no farther than Sonny's fellow California brother, and the leader of one of Sonny's top 5 bands, Y & T's Dave Meniketti. This band has meant so much to Sonny over his Growin' Up Rock years that I wanted to share the intro to this episode in his own words. "Growin’ up in Northern California, Y&T is a major part of my Growin’ Up Rock story. To this day, it drives me absolutely nuts when a “rock” fan doesn’t know who Y&T is…especially if they are from California. Even though they have been rockin’ the world for 45 years, the passion and work ethic has never wavered. We are so honored to have with us, the absolute hero of my teenage years, the underrated vocalist and guitarist of Y&T and one of the hardest working guys in rock, Mr. Dave Meniketti." Sit back and enjoy as we take a trip with Dave through 3 very different periods in the band's career covering three killer albums.

Episode Description: Judas Priest top 10 songs, is what this episode is all about. Sonny and I get into why we love Judas Priest and play some of our favorites. I also review the Judas Priest concert I recently attended here in my town. What’s The Story: Judas Priest is easily one of my top 10 favorite bands of all time. They were in my earliest discoveries as I started to form my obsession with hard rock and heavy metal. I got into British Steel and Screaming For Vengeance almost at the same exact time in high school. I saw them 2 hours outside my hometown on the World Vengeance tour in February of ‘83. It was my 2nd big concert I attended. The Australian band Heaven opened up and I was right on the barrier for the whole thing. After seeing the recent Firepower Tour hit my town it seemed like a great time to reminisce and talk about some of our favorite Judas Priest tunes. Crank It Up!

Episode Description: Steven speaks with founding guitarist Brian Tatler of the band Diamond Head about the bands history and the recording of their upcoming album . On May 24th Diamond Head will release their 8th studio album "The Coffin Train". What’s The Story: I first got into Diamond Head after hearing "Am I Evil" on the B-Side of a Metallica picture disc and I was hooked. I went out and picked up everything I could. If they were good enough to get into Kerrang, and be part of the NWOBHM sound then they must be great. The band was formed in 1976 under the riff-rolling leadership of guitarist Brian Tatler. DIAMOND HEAD would quickly establish themselves as a vanguard of the exploding New Wave Of British Heavy Metal scene. Their genre-defining debut album Lightning To The Nations, influenced and opened gates for many of the metal bands I grew up loving. The Coffin Train, DIAMOND HEAD's eighth studio album, is a glorious testimony to Brian Tatler and Rasmus Bom Andersens' masterful ability to create the flavors necessary for prime DIAMOND HEAD music. The record was recorded in several different places. Guitars, bass, and vocals at Vigo Studios in Walsall and drums at Circle Studios in Birmingham. The album was produced and mixed at Ras' Raw Sound Studio in London.

Episode Description: The idea behind Steven's mixed tapes is basically to play some great rock music while sharing a few stories about growing up. Steven's mixed tapes is basically my version of a radio show. Radio wishes it played kick ass music like this and without the commercials or yearly subscription fees. What’s The Story: When I was a kid in school, I made it a point to put together mixed cassettes of all the bands and songs I loved. Everytime a new record came out or I read about some band in Kerrang magazine, I picked up the cassette and dubbed it off in my state of the art duel cassette player. I would bring them to school the next day and share them with all my metalhead buddies.

Episode Description: Sonny and Steven answer listener questions. They cram a bunch of great music into this already laugh filled episode while trying to answer some great questions about rock n roll and the meaning of life. OK, I made that last part up and besides they aren't qualified to answer life questions, they're idiots. What’s The Story: You asked and we answered. Sonny and I open our lives up to the listeners and answer a boatload of questions ranging from Sonny’s love for Alias and his hatred of Rush to why I can’t figure out the answer to a question in which the Podcast is named after. After 96 episodes, we figure why not turn over the questioning to some of our listeners and let them ask away. We did our best to answer most of the questions but some of the questions were, well how can I put this? Dumb!

Episode Description: Sonny and I pick our Top 10 Live Albums growing up. We discuss why they were important to us, and play some of our favorite tracks from those albums. What’s The Story: Nowadays Live Albums are released all the time. If you are into a band, chances are they have released a live record. Back in the late 70’s and early 80’s live albums were much more of an event. In most cases the bands were already well established and the live album would be released about 4 or 5 records into the bands career. For me growing up and I suspect in a lot of other people’s lives, live albums were a way to check out a band. A greatest hits so to speak. If you liked it, then go down that “rabbit hole” and pick up some of the studio releases. In some artist cases, they owe everything to the live album. Peter Frampton and Kiss come to mind immediately. They were struggling before they released their first live albums. I consider myself much more of a studio track guy, but in my youth, I simply wore out the live albums we will be discussing in this episode.

Episode Description: Guitarist Mick Sweda joins Sonny and Steven to talk about his current band Lies, Deceit, & Treachery, as well as his time in the Bulletboys and King Kobra. Sweda is joined in Lies, Deceit & Treachery by two other original members of Bulletboys plus Last In Line frontman Andrew Freeman. We chat about some of the trials and tribulation of the music business and get into his earliest musical memories. What's The Story? We use the term "desert island" album a lot on this show. For both Sonny and I, the Bulletboys debut album falls into that category. Like so many others, I discovered the Bulletboys through the "Smooth Up In Ya" video on MTV, quickly went out and got the album, and became a fan. In addition to the Bulletboys record, I was also a fan of the King Kobra debut, and although not a "desert island" record, I was known to crank it up from time to time. So it was a real pleasure to speak to Mick, who was absolutely cool as hell and very gracious with his time. - Steven Michael Mick Sweda is a songwriter, guitarist and singer born in Gowanda, New York on April 18, 1960. After attending college on a drama scholarship and touring the east coast with various bands, Sweda moved to Los Angeles. He spent time in various musical projects, including the band Stormtrooper whose Armies of the Night EP surfaced in 1985. In 1984, he was approached by Carmine Appice to join his new band King Kobra, which had been signed to Capitol Records. Sweda recorded two records with King Kobra (Ready to Strike and Thrill of a Lifetime) and toured extensively, opening for bands such as Iron Maiden, Kiss and Ted Nugent. Sweda left the band in 1987 and started BulletBoys with Lonnie Vencent and Marq Torien, the latter of whom had briefly served as King Kobra's lead singer. The band signed to Warner Bros. Records in 1988. Upon the release of their eponymous debut, the band toured extensively opening for bands such as Cheap Trick, Bon Jovi, Ozzy Osbourne and others, as well as headlining theaters. BulletBoys recorded two more records for Warner Bros. (Freakshow and Za-Za) and supported both records with tours before Sweda left the band in 1993.

In this episode we each pick one of those desert island albums to discuss start to finish. What's The Story? Throughout every music fans life, there are albums that seem to connect with them. They are special works of music and from the first track to the last track they are perfect in everyway. Everyone knows about albums like Bon Jovi's "Slippery When Wet" or Van Halen's Debut, but what about the albums that are more of a personal opinion? Sonny and I use the term "Desert Island Albums" all the time on the show. We ask our guest to name some of theirs and we often reference many of ours.

Episode Description: Steven talks to legendary frontman Biff Byford of Saxon about the band's history and some of Biff's earliest musical memories. They discuss the current setlist and the overall Monsters of Rock Cruise. In addition to this great interview, Steven rounds up friends and fellow Saxon fans Kevin Williams and Brad Rusthoven to discuss their history with the band. The guys pick and play some of their favorite deep cuts from the band. What's The Story: Saxon is a band that was crucial in helping me to develop my taste in hard rock and metal music as a teenager growing up in the early 80s. I first discovered the band on a weekly trip to the mall record store, where I'd spend hours reading Kerrang magazine. My first money was spent picking up an import cassette of the very first Eagle Has Landed live record. From the opening of "Motorcycle Man," it was clear this was to be a new musical love for me. - Steven Michael Saxon are an English heavy metal band formed in 1977, in Barnsley. During the 1980s, Saxon established themselves as one of Europe's greatest metal acts. As one of the leaders of the new wave of British heavy metal, they had eight UK Top 40 albums, including four UK Top 10 albums and two Top 5 albums. The band also had numerous singles in the UK Singles Chart, chart success all over Europe and Japan, and in the United States. The band tour regularly and have sold more than 23 million albums worldwide. Considered one of the classic metal acts, Saxon have influenced a number of bands such as Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, Testament, Exodus, Overkill, Mötley Crüe, Pantera, Helloween, Running Wild, Metal Church, Armored Saint, Dream Theater, Dokken, Skid Row, Sodom, Celtic Frost, Bathory, King Diamond and Death Angel. - From Wiki Everyone’s got a Rock N Roll story to tell, so tell us yours @growinuprock.com Like us and leave us a review on our FaceBook page - @growinuprock or Podchaser Follow us on Twitter - @growinuprock Subscribe to our Podcast at the platform of your choice and leave us a review Support Music / Artist / and Your Favorite Podcast You can help out the Podcast by doing all of your shopping at Amazon using our link below.

Episode Description: Steven speaks with Tesla guitarist Frank Hannon about some of his earliest musical memories and the band's newest album release "Shock." We go album-by-album to discuss what Frank's thoughts were at the time of recording. Because we are such huge Tesla fans, as an added bonus we thought why not throw in our top 5 Tesla tunes to rock along the way. What's The Story: Tesla is an American rock band formed in Sacramento, California in late 1981 by bassist Brian Wheat and guitarist Frank Hannon as Earthshaker, and later City Kidd. Lead vocalist Jeff Keith, drummer Troy Luccketta, and guitarist Tommy Skeoch joined them by 1984. By 1986, the band had changed from its glam-derived sound to a 'rootsier' direction under a new name: "Tesla." The band disbanded in 1996 with members devoting themselves to solo projects before re-forming in 2000. Tommy Skeoch departed the band in 2006 and was replaced by Dave Rude. Tesla have sold 14 million albums in the United States. I heard the first single "Modern Day Cowboy from the band's debut album upon its release and was hooked. When I saw the band in a small club in Atlanta on that very first tour for the debut album, I loved everything about the bands no-frills approach to rock n roll and I never looked back. Over the years, I have seen the band countless times and purchased all the band's releases of original material. This band is rock n roll done right; from its heavy driven rockers to its meaningful ballads. Love This Band!!

Episode Description: This week, we pick our Top 5 Motley Crue songs. Plus you'll hear our opinions and review of "The Dirt," a Netflix movie release of Motley Crue's biography. What's The Story?? By now all of the Rock n Roll faithfuls have carved out time to check out "The Dirt" on Netflix. If you haven't, what are you waiting for? On the heels of the successful Queen biopic "Bohemian Rhapsody," and with the Elton John movie "Rocketman" coming out soon, Motley Crue finally saw their book "The Dirt" turned into a Netflix movie. We checked out the film and render our verdict, as well as spin our favorite Motley tunes. I first got into Motley Crue after a friend from California gave me a demo cassette marked "Motley Crue Leathür Records." I remember first hearing "Livewire" and thinking the music kicks ass. I thought the singer had a weird but cool voice. As time went on and "Shout At The Devil" was released, I became a huge fan. In December of '85, I worked for a local stage crew and assisted Tommy Lee's drum tech in setting up Tommy's kit for the night's show. I met Tommy that night, and several times again at later dates, and he was always cool with me.

Episode Description: We talk with XYZ's founders Terry Ilous and Patt Fontaine about their history and the recent Monsters Of Rock Cruise, as well as what's coming up for the band. Since we love XYZ, we decide to do a quick top 3 showcasing some of our favorite tunes from the band's catalog. What's The Story? XYZ came together in Lyon (France) where bassist Patt Fontaine and vocalist Terry Ilous were born and grew up. The band migrated to Los Angeles in 1986. XYZ started off as the unofficial house band of "The Whisky A Go Go". The original members were Terry Ilous (vocals), Bobby Pieper (guitars), Patt Fontaine (bass) and Joey Pafumi (drums). A tour of the US with Enuff Z'Nuff and Alice Cooper followed the success of their 1989 Enigma-released debut album, and they were signed by major label Capitol for their second. - Source Wikipedia The Band's History XYZ played clubs throughout the mid 1980's and first got a record deal in 1989 with Don Dokken as their producer. Ilous and Fontaine then recruited Mark Diglio (guitars) and Paul Monroe (drums) to replace the departing Pieper and Pafumi, to record their debut album. Terry Ilous's vocal style on the band's first album was very similar to Dokken's. The album contained the hits "Inside Out" and "What Keeps Me Loving You." Videos for both songs received reasonable airplay and the album reached No. 99 on the Billboard charts. A third single from the album, "Maggy," was used in the 1990 Dolph LundgrenmovieI Come in Peace. The next album, Hungry, released in 1991, failed to chart, but I loved it. Diglio and Monroe left the band and were replaced by Tony Burnett and Joey Shapiro, respectively. After the next tour was finished, band members went separate ways once again. XYZ reunited in 2002 with the lineup of Ilous, Fontaine, Tony Marcus, and Shapiro, and still perform to the present day. - Source Wikipedia Growin' Up Rock Podcast Everyone’s got a Rock N Roll story to tell, so tell us yours @growinuprock.com Like us and leave us a review on our FaceBook page - @growinuprock or Podchaser Follow us on Twitter - @growinuprock Subscribe to our Podcast at the platform of your choice and leave us a review Support Music / Artist / and Your Favorite Podcast You can help out the Podcast by doing all of your shopping at Amazon using our link below.

Episode Description In this episode, it's time for another installment of "This Ain't No Disco". We discuss and play hard rock and metal music released in 1996. What's It All About: This ain't no disco '96, but for sure it's a change in the landscape of Rock n Roll. It's time for another installment of This Ain't No Disco, and this time we head back to 1996 and we find that the hard rock and metal we loved so much in the late 80's and early 90's was vastly changing and becoming industrialized and very different from what we grew up loving. One thing is for sure, no matter how the guitar strap is hung you can always find a good dose of rock n roll if you know where to look for it and believe me, 1996 you had to look under all sorts of rocks to find it.

Episode Description In this episode, Growin' Up Rock talks with producer, engineer, and technologist David Frangioni. David's early experience with MIDI technology would establish his reputation as the go-to guy for setting up home studio recording. David became so much of an authority on MIDI setups, Aerosmith's Joey Kramer gave David the title of "Midiot" along with the hat to go with it. David's worked with countless rock artists including Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne, Elton John, Styx, and KISS. Bands you will hear on this episode include Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin. Who is David Frangioni? David Frangioni’s musical aspirations started when he began playing the drums at just two years old. Around the same time, he lost an eye to cancer. He continued drumming, realizing music was his passion, a passion that extended later to music technologies. David was one of the pioneers behind MIDI technology. He parlayed that experience into a gig serving as Aerosmith’s in-house engineer/technologist from 1989 to 2002 and continues to work with them. He's worked as a producer, engineer, and technologist for a long list of iconic rock artists including the Stones, Ringo Starr, Elton John, Sting, Journey, Styx, and more. A successful entrepreneur, David is the founder of Audio One, one of the most successful and awarded Audio/Video firms in the United States. David has been featured on CNN, Variety, Sun Sentinel, Miami Herald, and more. He also gained notoriety as the official technologist for the TV show “The Osbournes," appearing in multiple episodes of this MTV hit.

Episode Description We catch up with guitarist Ty Tabor from King's X to discuss the 2019 Monsters Of Rock Cruise and some of his personal Growin' Up Rock story. We talk about how the band decides on a set list, the possibilities of a new King's X record, and what he remembers about the Woodstock 2 festival that put them in front of 350 thousand people. A Brief Band Overview King's X is a band that was formed in the mid 80s that garnered a ton of critical acclaim from the critics and the bands peers. They were a great mixture of hard rock, melody, harmonies, funk, R&B, and soul. Yep - They had a lot to offer. Maybe some people did not know how to take them and maybe the record companies did not know how to market them, but for whatever reason they never achieved some of the massive success their peers received in the 80s. The band is still going strong and doing better than ever before, and I absolutely love and respect them. Check out our conversation with guitarist, singer, songwriter Ty Tabor.

We have done a lot of interviews at this stage of the podcast. As far as I can remember, nothing matches the fun Sonny and I had with Lord Tracy's frontman Terry Glaze on a Friday night sitting around the computer. Terry is a charismatic and funny dude that we loved hanging out with on Skype. We happen to love his music and we think you'll enjoy this episode. The term “desert island album” comes up often when folks who love music are conversing. If music is your main hobby or passion you probably can name 5 pretty easily. Many people go with, “Led Zeppelin IV”, “Appetite for Destruction”, “Kiss-Destroyer”, “Cheap Trick-at Budokan”, “Beatles-The White Album”, “Back in Black”….for my partner in crime STEVEN MICHAEL it’s “Van Halen 1”…. well, all the regular listeners know that I’m a bit off the beaten path on stuff like this…and although all the albums I just mentioned are incredible….one of my personal desert island albums is Lord Tracy’s "Deaf Gods of Babylon" released in 1989. - Sonny Pooni Terry Glaze A Brief Overview In the early 80's Singer / Guitarist Terry Glaze formed a friendship with fellow high schooler and musician Vincent Paul Abbott, and his kid brother Darrell Abbott, better known as Vinnie Paul and Dimebag Darrell of Pantera. The 3 shared a love of hard rock and metal music and in the coming years would put together the early version of Pantera which put out 3 albums of spandex ladened hard rock and metal music. I loved "Projects In The Jungle". Terry Glaze would eventually leave the band and Phil Anselmo would replace Terry as the singer of Pantera. Pantera would go on to become the Heavy Metal Juggernaut that most of the world is familiar with today. Terry would go to join the band that became Lord Tracy which to the majority of the world would be unknown, but to Steven and Sonny would be a "hidden gem" . The band would put out "Deaf Gods Of Babylon" in 1989 an album of hard rock awesomeness and firmly planted as a "Growin' Up Rock" album of their youth. Episode Description We talk to Terry about the early days of Pantera and go track by track through the Deaf Gods Of Babylon album, exchanging a bevy of stories and just genuine great funny conversation. Even if you are unfamiliar with Terry Glaze, Lord Tracy, or Deaf Gods Of Babylon, do yourself a favor and check out this episode. Fun times with Terry Glaze on a Friday night.
