Sonny and Steven will each select 6 Replacement Players in bands, who were odd replacement choices for the musicians they were replacing.

The Dirty Dozen Series is our chance to be negative.

So in this series, we pick a dozen songs, albums, bands, whatever we feel like being negative about because we don't particularly love it. Sometimes we even get you, the listeners involved.

This week in the Thanking The Greats Series, we want to thank musician and producer extraordinaire Beau Hill. If you were a fan of 80s hard rock, you most likely had a record that Beau Hill produced.

We often talk about desert island albums, which for us are albums that contain no skippers. In the worst of the best, we explore albums that are almost perfect but contain one song that just sucks. Even the worst song on an otherwise perfect album can be better than most songs on a good album, but most likely in this episode we won't have any of those. At least not in our opinion, which counts for almost nothing.

The End Machine With Jeff Pilson
8 april 2021 |
36 min
Jeff Pilson was most notably the bass player in Dokken during the 80s through all the bands biggest albums and is considered to be a part of the classic lineup. He most recently has been with Foreigner for many years now and has taken part in various other projects either as a player or producer. Jeff is awesome.
The End Machine Info
THE END MACHINE are back with their sophomore album, "Phase2," which follows on the heels of their well-received and successful self-titled debut album released in 2018. The End Machine features former classic lineup Dokken members George Lynch and Jeff Pilson with the awesome singer Robert Mason (Warrant, Lynch Mob) on lead vocals. Classic Dokken drummer Mick Brown handled drums on the first album, but is now retired, so in his place behind the drum kit is none other than his brother Steve Brown.

Journey Top 10
22 december 2019 |
77 min
Sonny and Steven talk about their Journey top 10 songs in part 2 of this all out look into the music and members of rock n roll hall of famers.
Journey created music that went from guitar driven hard rock to chart topping power ballads. They had so many great songs which is why putting together a top 10 list was so incredibly tough for both Sonny and me to do. I grew up in the 80s loving this band. They created the foundation to my hard rock musical taste.

Hollywood's Wild Hair Family Affair
8 december 2019 |
106 min
On this volume of Hollywood’s Wild Hair, he goes from doing a solo episode to making it a family affair and being joined by his beautiful 17-year-old daughter, Giana. The idea is to get a teenagers view of where rock stands today, play some killer music and basically make you laugh a little.
Although the original Wild Hair idea was to do solo episodes, there is something about adding an interesting guest to the mix. Giana is an intelligent teenager that doesn’t hold back her feelings about music, the environment, drummers and bassists, hot chocolate and a host of other topics. Hollywood and Giana have that special father/daughter bond and it comes out when they are sharing stories of Growin’ Up Rock while playing some killer songs by AC/DC, Foreigner, Bruno Mars, Poison, Triumph, Jimi Hendrix, Van Halen and many more. When was the last time you heard a young persons’ view of the music we ALL love??….and they even give The Godfather a call. Enjoy!!

Steven's Mixed Tape Family Affair
1 december 2019 |
87 min
Just in time for the holiday's, I invite my lovely wife to come on the show and make this a family affair. We discuss her relationship with music and what she has seen and learned when it comes to Rock n Roll since meeting me. We play some great music while you drive over the hills and far away to Grandmas house.
When my wife first met me she was the farthest thing from a music geek. She could take or leave music. Where it created the soundtrack to my life, it was but background music to hers. After she met me she began to attend concerts and listen to many of the bands that I would begin to educate her on. At the end of the day she just does not listen to and appreciate music like me, but maybe that's why opposites attract.

I had the opportunity to interview Richie Zito ahead of his induction into the Rock Godz Hall Of Fame.

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.

This Ain't No Disco 1981 - EP109
20 september 2019 |
121 min
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. While you are at it make sure you head over to Klick Tee Shop and enter your contact information in for a chance to win a free T-Shirt. Make sure to tell them Growin' Up Rock sent you.

Falling Short Of Number One – EP115
15 september 2019 |
95 min
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.

8 september 2019 |
77 min
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. Chris Segger- guitar (2007-2014, 2017–present) Dan Cleary- vocals (2007–present) Adam Brown- drums (2010–present) Tim Brown- guitar (2013–present) Pete Klassen- bass (2019–present) Buy and Support Music From The Artist We Discuss On This Episode Growin’ Up Rock Amazon Store Striker Website Music in this Episode Provided by the Following: Kobra & The Lotus, Lowrider, Wraith, & Striker To Contact us just click this link: @growinuprock.com WE NEED YOUR HELP!!

Episode Description: Hollywood's Wild Hair has become a staple of the podcast.

Ron Young Of Little Caesar – EP110
11 augusti 2019 |
82 min
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.

Jetboy Guitarist Billy Rowe – EP108
28 juli 2019 |
70 min
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!!

15 Songs We Can’t Live Without – EP107
21 juli 2019 |
109 min
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.

Freedom Fest Weekend – BONUS

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.

Diamonds Are A Band’s Best Friend – EP105
7 juli 2019 |
107 min
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?

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.

Whitesnake’s Joel Hoekstra Returns – EP103
23 juni 2019 |
53 min
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.

Hollywood’s Wild Hair – Volume 2 – EP102
16 juni 2019 |
86 min
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. These two are definitely two of a kind and belong together in some sort of insane asylum. Enjoy!!

Back 2 Back Album Awesomeness – EP101
9 juni 2019 |
100 min
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.

Dave Meniketti Of Y & T – EP100
2 juni 2019 |
117 min
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.

Judas Priest Top 10 – EP099
26 maj 2019 |
86 min
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!

Brian Tatler Of Diamond Head – Bonus
24 maj 2019 |
44 min
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.

Steven’s Mixed Tapes – Volume 1 EP98

69 min
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!

Top 10 Live Albums – EP 96
5 maj 2019 |
122 min
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.

Mick Sweda of Lies, Deceit, & Treachery – EP095
28 april 2019 |
64 min
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.

118 min
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.

Tesla’s Frank Hannon – EP092
7 april 2019 |
92 min
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!!

Motley Crue Top 5 With “The Dirt” Movie Review – EP091
24 mars 2019 |
90 min
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.

XYZ’s Terry Ilous and Patt Fontaine – EP090
17 mars 2019 |
73 min
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.

This Ain’t No Disco ’96 – EP088
3 mars 2019 |
100 min
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.

David Frangioni – Midiot Of Success – EP087
24 februari 2019 |
87 min
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.

Ty Tabor From King’s X – BONUS
15 februari 2019 |
55 min
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.

Fun With Lord Tracy's Terry Glaze - EP084
3 februari 2019 |
95 min
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.

Livin’ The Life: Miljenko Matijevic of Steelheart – EP082
20 januari 2019 |
75 min
In this episode we are livin' the life with Miljenko Matijevic of Steelheart. We catch up with Steelheart's main man Miljenko to talk about his career, the new live album, and what Steelheart fans can expect in 2019. In 1990 when Steelheart finally got their shot to hit the rock scene, the band embodied everything you would want from a band in that era. They had the look, catchy songs, emotional ballads, screeching guitars, energetic live shows, and a singer named Miljenko Matijevic with a multi-octave range that would make your head spin. Through the journey, Steelheart ended up with a varied history. The band had a couple of hit songs of off 2 amazing albums and then quickly fell off the face of the earth after a fluke stage accident. Miljenko rebuilt the band for a stint in 1996, was involved in the movie Rock Star (playing the voice of Marky Mark Wahlberg) in 2001 and then returned to the rock scene for good in 2006. In 2010, Miljenko even did a stint being the lead singer for The Doors. After releasing the acclaimed Through Worlds of Stardust in 2017, Steelheart is back with a live CD/DVD called Rock ‘n Milan. Miljenko Matijevic tells his Growin’ Up Rock story by sharing his humble beginnings, move to America, his start in music, influences, how Steelheart became a MTV smash, handling adversity of the music business, coming back into the scene through movies/TV, success that being a hit in Asia brought and what the future has yet to offer. Miljenko was very transparent and passionate throughout the conversation. You will enjoy the conversation but to truly appreciate everything that Steelheart has to offer, we encourage you to see them live. The experience is energetic and the musicianship is impressive.

Under The Influence Of Van Halen – EP079
30 december 2018 |
101 min
In this episode it's all about the countless number of rock bands under the influence of the mighty Van Halen. In The 80s there was no rock band bigger than the mighty Van Halen. The guitar playing of Eddie Van Halen and the ringmaster antics of David Lee Roth had a lasting effect on every rock band coming up in the 80s and beyond. Given the impression Van Halen made on so many bands we loved back in the 80s and still love today, we thought it fitting to discuss a few different hard rock bands and artist that may have been influenced by Van Halen either in their playing, their look, or their music. See if you agree, the bands we play in this episode may have borrowed a trick or two from the mighty Van Halen.

Marc Ferrari – RnR Business Animal – EP078
23 december 2018 |
61 min
Marc Ferrari is a RnR business animal. Known for being the lead guitar player in Keel and Cold Sweat, Marc has played to thousands of Rock n Roll animals around the world. Marc has done the whole Rockstar thing, but that is just a small stop in his musical journey through life. Some of Marc's career highlights include, writing songs for the 96 Summer Olympic Games, writing and releasing 2 solo records, playing guitar for Crucial Taunt, a fictional band in a couple of the most iconic movies from the 90s Wayne's World. Oh and did we forget to mention that Marc is also a writer. Marc has written two books, a music business book called "Rock Star 101" and a children's book called "Don't Dilly Dally Silly Sally". All of these accomplishments, and they still are probably not his most financially or intellectually biggest success. When Marc's musical career was starting to decline in the early 90s when the fans of hard rock and metal started to turn to grunge, Marc started Mastersource, a music publishing company to license music to TV and movies. He grew that company at the right time and later sold it to Universal Music Publishing. He's an entrepreneur, investor, musician, writer, producer, and in all of that he still found the time to work on a re-release of the cult hard rock record "Break Out", from his band Cold Sweat. We caught up with Marc and discussed some of his days with Keel and some of his many accomplishments, along with the release and re-master of Cold Sweat's one and only record "Break Out" 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 this Podcast You can help out the Podcast by doing all of your shopping at Amazon using our link below.

Rock n Roll Trivia – Who Are You – EP075
25 november 2018 |
107 min
It’s a Rock n Roll Trivia Game show of epic proportions where we ask the question Who Are You? We invite our special guest Steve Wright from the Podder The Hell Podcast to come and test his trivial hard rock knowledge against the absent minded Steven Michael who thinks the answer to everything is Van Halen. While we try and figure out who has the most points, we play some killer music by the likes of Lita Ford, Queensryche, Sammy Hagar, Iron Maiden, WASP, Night Ranger, Kiss, Striker, and Blood Of The Sun. Our Gameshow host Sonny “Wink Martindale” Pooni deals out the questions to both Steve's, while mixing in some great music to crank up while on that long holiday road trip. Feel free to play along with us and let us know how you did via our Facebook page link below. Happy Thanksgiving from all of us here at Growin’ Up Rock !!.

Matt Jaffe-California’s Golden Rocker – BONUS
23 november 2018 |
56 min
Matt Jaffe is a singer-songwriter from San Francisco. Relatively unknown in the rest of the United States, this California rocker cut his teeth on open mics around the Bay Area. Matt started pursuing music more seriously when Jerry Harrison (Talking Heads) offered to produce his first record. From his earliest memories of growing up playing classic violin at 5 years old, to playing ANY gig that he was offered regardless of venue size, Matt shares stories about his young career. And he describes what it took to release his third album of original material, The Spirit Catches You. Matt Jaffe was great to speak with and very forthcoming about the music business and how his career is progressing. Matt is an intelligent young man who we believe will have a long, fruitful career. His music has been described as “eclectic, completely unexpected, and undeniably catchy – an effervescent marriage of punk-rock hooks and funky, rockabilly melodies.” Please give Matt Jaffe a listen.

When We Were Young with Dan Call- EP074
18 november 2018 |
102 min
When we were young, we learned a lot about life and rock n roll. This week we catch up with an old friend Dan Call from national recording artists The Villains. We talk about our early days of rock and roll in Atlanta in the late 80's, when we first met, and some of the many great musicians that came out of Atlanta while we were playing out. We get into Dan's thirty-plus years in the music business as a musician, songwriter, and singer. Dan's hit the charts with his band The Villains, and written and recorded with a variety of amazing artists including a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. We talk KISS, Van Halen, and what Dan has going on these days, including his first solo EP and the new single getting multiple streams on Spotify called "Wish I Was Gay."

Monte Pittman – Living Between The Spaces – BONUS
16 november 2018 |
48 min
Monte Pittman for “Better or Worse,” is living “Between The Spaces,” of music by releasing two albums at the same time. The longtime Madonna guitarist and former Prong guitar player has ties to the Pop world, but remains very much rooted in Hard Rock and Metal. Steve Michael caught up with Monte when he rolled through town opening up for former Skid Row singer Sebastian Bach. Monte was on the tour trail promoting his two, that’s right I said two, album releases which hit the market on the same day in August. With the help of Brian Slagel and Metal Blade records, this ridiculously talented musician released a full blown electric album “Between The Spaces” and a completely acoustic record “Better Or Worse.” We shoot the shit about growing up in towns where music was not plentiful, and how he first met up with pop icon Madonna. We get into the recording of his latest albums, as well as how he feels about the flow of an album and live show. I caught Monte’s set which was a high energy wall of bombastic sound that almost seems impossible for three people to produce. Making an extremely conscious effort to ensure his live set flowed, he ran through tunes from not only his latest two releases but also some songs from his first two releases, “Inverted Grasp Of Balance” and “Power Of Three.” Monte’s music often is like a buzz saw cutting down trees with its ferocity, but it still maintains melody and song structure that is easy to follow and, most importantly for me, lyrics that I can understand. In other words, no “Cookie Monster” vocals here.

Queen Top 5 With Bohemian Rhapsody Movie Review – EP072
4 november 2018 |
146 min
In this Growin' Up Rock episode, we give our review of the new Queen movie “Bohemian Rhapsody.” We enlist the help of fellow podcaster, Queen fan, and host of the Damn Good Movie Memories podcast, Brian Davis to come along for the ride as we doubledown to make it a Top 5 Queen songs episode too. When you talk about influential classic rock bands of the 70's and 80's, you would be hard pressed not to mention one of the greatest of all time, Queen. A completely ground-breaking rock band, they had songwriting talent all around, plus an iconic singer in Freddie Mercury and an amazing guitar player in Brian May. Queen broke all boundaries of what a rock band should look and sound like. Influencing bands like Guns and Roses, Metallica, Extreme and many others along the way. There are so many different textures and moods to Queen’s music, it’s almost doing a disservice to them to lump the songs under one umbrella of Rock n Roll, but at the heart of their music beats a well-oiled Rock n Roll machine. Kick back, enjoy our movie review and listen as we talk about some of our favorite Queen tunes and pick a few deeper tracks to play that you may or may not be that familiar with.

Tonight we crank it up and ask the question, have you ever heard of these guys? We crank up the volume to music from Lynam, Million Dollar Reload, Gary Schutt, Firewind, and Zan Clan. The Crank It Up Spotlight, is a regular segment we cover in almost every episode, but tonight we are dedicating the entire episode, because we want to share some hard rock and metal bands you most likely are not that familiar with, and if you are, you rock, that’s awesome!! In an added bonus, I attended an LA Guns concert, and sat down with the opening act Lynam, who happens to be one of the bands we think enough people just aren't aware of, so you will get the interview I recorded outside the venue at the end of the night with the guys in Lynam.

Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame – Who’s In Who’s Out? – EP070
21 oktober 2018 |
103 min
The Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame invokes a lot of discussion among the hard rock and metal community. Should we have our own Hard Rock and Metal Hall Of Fame, and if so, who's in and who's out? Since its existence, the Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame has come with it’s share of controversy, whether people are arguing about who’s in and who’s out, or bands arguing about who is coming and who is performing together. We believe in rock n roll and music in general, but we have thoughts about the current state of affairs at the RnR HOF and some ideas that will spawn a much better representation for the hard rock and metal community. Who gets to decide what falls under the umbrella of Rock n Roll? We ask this question because to us, the definition of RnR, Rap, R&B, Blues, Pop, and Punk is certainly blurred at best. In our opinion it appears rock n roll has become more of an all encompassing description of music, instead of a particular genre of music as it once was. Jump in on this conversation and share your thoughts and views with us over at our Facebook page, we would love to hear from you, who’s in and who’s out on your Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame Ballot.

We love Kix, so we pick our Top 5 Kix tunes to share. We also love Kix Lead Singer Steve Whiteman and when we had the opportunity to catch up with Steve to discuss the 30th anniversary of the Kix classic album Blow My Fuse we jumped on it. Kix are for kids, but Kix Rock n Roll is for everyone whose ever cranked up the car stereo to 11 and rolled down the windows while rolling down the highway on a sunny day. It was tough to pick our top 5 Kix tunes, but like all other top 5 episodes we ever decide to do, we take the coward way out and commit to our top 5 at that particular moment, because damn, we love Kix and our favorites change at any given moment.

It’s a thin line between love and hate, and nowhere is it more apparent than in rock n roll, so we got to stop the hate and start the love. This week we get back to basics and have fun with a themed episode that is loaded with some great music by Firehouse, Halford, Tyketto, Megadeth, House Of Lords, WASP, Saraya, and of course Kiss. The theme this week is all about song titles with Love or Hate in the title and in some cases both Love and Hate. We get into the Ticketmaster and Live Nation controversy, and take time to discuss the BulletBoys and Enuff Z Nuff concert I attended this week.

Craig Goldy Is A Dream Child – EP067
30 september 2018 |
118 min
Craig Goldy has a very interesting rock n roll story to tell. The former Dio guitar player took time out from his new band Dream Child to discuss his friendship with Ronnie James Dio, his earlier work with Guiffria, and Rough Cutt, and the emotions he feels while paying tribute to Ronnie James Dio performing with the Dio Disciples. From his earliest memories of growing up in a not so ideal home environment, to living out of his car on the streets, Craig shares stories about his auditions for Rough Cutt, touring with Guiffria and meeting his guitar hero Ritchie Blackmore. Craig Goldy’s new band Dream Child which features guitarists / keyboardist Wayne Findlay (MSG), bassist Rudy Sarzo (Ozzy, Whitesnake, Dio) and drummer Simon Wright (AC/DC, Dio), plus singer Diego Valdez just released their debut on Frontiers Records “Until Death Do We Meet Again” is an outstanding mixture of classic Rainbow, Deep Purple, and Dio Influenced rock n roll for your ears. We highly recommend you pick up a copy right here Craig Goldy was great to speak with and very forthcoming about his time with Guiffria and Dio and in our opinion was way more accommodating than most musician, and we appreciated his time. It truly was like hanging out and catching up with a long lost friend. We wish Craig all the luck in the world for his future projects.

Cinderella Top 5 – EP066
23 september 2018 |
89 min
This week Sonny and I scream “SHAKE ME” at the top of our lungs all night as we both pick our Top 5 Cinderella songs. We barely avoid an all-out brawl on mic when we both claim a song as our favorite, deciding in the end to let technology pick the true winner of the favorite song sweepstakes. I remember seeing Cinderella in the 90's, long after their “heyday.” With rock considered passe at the time, I was psyched to be able to see a band I dug in a small club at an affordable price. Cinderella blew the roof off the place that night, and I remember thinking, "Here is a rock band that, in an arena or small club, delivers kick-ass music to the roar of a crowd" and I have never forgotten that fact. Sonny and I both decided we have somewhat of a love/hate relationship with this band, but both of us agree it's more love than hate. There are certainly more than enough killer songs to go around and make it a very tough task to decide which are our Top 5 Cinderella songs at the moment we happened to record this episode of the Growin’ Up Rock Podcast. Make sure you go to our Facebook page, Podchaser, or our website and share your thoughts on the band, your top 5 favorites and what you think of this episode.

Eclipse – Rock’s Complete Package – EP065
16 september 2018 |
90 min
Eclipse is Rock's complete package. Growin' Up Rock was lucky enough to catch up with the Swedish band in Atlanta to learn what's brought them here and what's in store for the future. Eclipse has released three albums that I absolutely love on Frontiers Records: Bleed and Scream (2012), Armageddonize (2015), and Monumentum (2017). On a rare trip to the US for an appearance at PowerProg USA, a progressive power metal festival, singer Erik Mårtensson, guitarist Magnus Henriksson, and drummer Philip Crusner of Sweden's Eclipse were kind enough to share some of their earliest influences, how they approach writing for different projects they are involved with, and their philosophy on recording to create these sonically awesome Eclipse records. It has occurred to us that Sweden must be putting something in the water, because there are a ton of killer hard rock and metal bands coming out of there these days. As you will hear from our conversation, it may just be the fact that all those kids whose parents were deep into hard rock and metal are finally coming of age. With incredible melodies, screaming guitars, great vocals and huge choruses tailor made for an arena or stadium, you're in for a treat because Eclipse is the total rock n roll package.

Who’s The New Guy – EP061
26 augusti 2018 |
116 min
Who's the new guy in the band? In this episode, we take a look at replacement players who have impacted the bands they joined in an awesome way. Hey, I went to my job today and some new guy was there doing it. Who's the new guy? WTF? Have I been fired? Oh wait, I left because quite frankly I can't stand the rest of the guys in this band. With the music industry changing rapidly each and every day, free agency is at an all-time high. One way musicians make a living nowadays is to play in 50 bands at the same time and stay out there on the road. Musicians switch bands like a pack of 8 year-olds playing musical chairs at the popular kid's birthday party. So in today’s episode, Sonny and I talk about just a few of our favorite replacement players who have contributed some good work with bands we love. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind we are going to make some controversial statements in this episode, but it's only our preferences and opinions and we encourage you to voice yours. Go to our Facebook page and start the conversation, and I am sure we will chime in. ***RECORDING NOTE*** This is a lost episode and was recorded in the summer of 2017. Enjoy the GUR vaults!!

Under Covers Of The Night – EP060
19 augusti 2018 |
105 min
Under Covers of the Night is an episode about playing and discussing some very cool rock cover songs that Sonny and I discovered. When Sonny and I started to discuss doing a covers episode recently, our research quickly turned up a massive number of cover songs out there in the universe. Some awesome, and some complete crap. Some extremely close to the original, and some completely unrecognizable. You have cover songs that are part of tribute albums to a designated band or artist. You have cover songs that were created for a sound track to a movie or TV show. At the end of the day, we decided that we were going to have to do more episodes in the future about cover songs. But for now, we had a load of fun digging for cover gems and even though we don’t always agree on what is good and what is bad, we do agree we love to Rock n Roll.

This Ain’t No Disco ’90 – EP059
12 augusti 2018 |
107 min
It's time for another installment of “This Ain’t No Disco” on Growin’ Up Rock. In an episode from the Growin' Up Rock Vaults. (yes we recorded this one last year - see if you can tell) This ain't no disco, but it sure as hell is rock n roll at its finest. On this episode we jump in our “Back To The Future” time traveling Delorean and go back to 1990, and what another kick ass year it was for hard rock and metal releases. It was getting close to the end for the hard rock / glam rock pretty boy music scene, that we came to know and love and getting close to the dawning of what would come to be known as the Grunge Rock era. We love the opportunity to focus on a year, and play whatever we feel like playing at the time we jump on our mics.We share a few laughs, talk about the changing tides in music and pick out a handful of great music to turn it up and take you back to 1990.

Fabulous First – Happy Anniversary – EP058
5 augusti 2018 |
115 min
We're celebrating our Fabulous First. Happy Anniversary Growin' Up Rock Listeners!! Remember the first time you heard one of your all-time favorite bands? How about the first time you saw them in concert? Growin' Up Rock is turning one, so we have an epic first year celebration in store for you all. Sonny and I reflect back on our first year of episodes, while discussing our fabulous first associated with some of our favorite bands we grew up loving in high school. Sonny and I have a ton of bands that meant so much to us growing up around rock n roll, while going to high school. There were far more bands than there was enough time in this episode to discuss all of them, but we touch on 5 of them that were certainly right there in the mix. I wasted more time sitting in class and drawing these bands logos on all my folders instead of actually studying and I don't regret a single minute. Maybe the first time you heard your favorite bands, was not actually the first album from that artist, but more the middle of the catalog based on your age. If that's the case for you, what was that bands sound like on that first release? Have they changed? Did they grow into more of a band you love, or change so much they became something less listenable for you? In a less likely case, you may actually love everything that artist ever released. Sonny and I talk about this and so much more and we are proud as hell to take all the Growin' Up Rock listeners with us for this fabulous first Anniversary, Birthday, whatever the hell you want to call it episode.

Dokken Top 5 At This Minute – EP057
29 juli 2018 |
117 min
It’s been a long time coming but we are finally doing a Dokken Top 5 List. On this episode we spin the Dial O’ Destiny and pick our top 5 favorite Dokken tunes. At least at this minute. Sonny and I are such huge Dokken fans, we found it impossible to pick just 5 of our favorite Dokken songs, so for the sake of time, as in we don’t have enough, we decided to capture a moment in time and record our favorites at this minute. Rockin' with Dokken is definitely a Growing Up Rock pasttime for Hollywood and me, and picking our favorite songs is like asking “Do you want cheese and bacon on that burger”? - Answer - UMMMMM - YES and YES!!! We also talk about our recent adventures in concert going, and how we think the economics of our universe will vastly improve the human and alien relationships of the future. OK - so I made that last part up, just wanted to see if you actually read this shit. Dokken is an American metal band formed in 1979. It split up in 1989 and reformed four years later. The band had three charting singles ("Alone Again", "In My Dreams" and "Burning Like a Flame") and have sold more than 10 million albums worldwide.

Podchaser Cole Raven, Running Wild- EP056
22 juli 2018 |
66 min
On this episode of Growin' Up Rock, we talk with Podchaser co-founder Cole Raven. Podcasts are booming. There's a podcast for everything, and Podchaser’s database and discovery engine has quickly become a go-to resource for podcast devotees. Officially beta-launched in July 2017, Podchaser is often called the IMDB or Rotten Tomatoes of podcasting, allowing listeners to rate and review shows, as well as individual episodes. In addition to Podchaser’s awesome review and rating system that is SUPER easy to use, they also allow you the listener to put together your own favorite playlist of shows and share easily throughout all your social media accounts.

Growin' Up Rock caught up with co-founder Cole Raven to get the inside scoop on how Podchaser developed, what they have to offer, and what they're trying to achieve as a company. We also get to know him and find out more about Cole and the massive amount of podcasts he listens to as he’s running obstacle courses or training for the next season of Survivor (OK We completely made that part up about Survivor, but I think he might be good on it.). We vow to help Cole with his playlist by adding a healthy dose of Rock n Roll to improve his time out on the running course. Hear from Cole what he thinks makes a great podcast. In addition to all of this, Sonny and Steven decide to go Punk, so tune in to find out what we mean. Help us fund the Rock N Pod Expo 2 this year in Nashville.

The Filthy 15 – EP055
16 juli 2018 |
107 min
In this episode we get down and dirty with a closer look at the infamous Filthy 15 list of rock and pop songs, put out by the PMRC in 1985. What happens in 1985 when politicians' wives, with way too much time on their hands, catch their children walking around the house singing songs they find objectionable? Find out in this episode of Growin’ Up Rock, as Sonny and Steven explore the PMRC and the so-called list of Filthy 15 songs that were put on this earth to destroy the youth of America. We discuss, in our opinions, what they got right and what they got so horribly wrong. We rock some of the songs on the list so you can judge for yourself, and we play one that missed the list. In 1985, there were a million tunes that could have made the list, so why these 15? Music is an art form which we feel should be left open to interpretation, not censored by people who think they know what I should and should not be listening to. That being said, with what is out in the world today, I do think parents should be doing their job, and listen to what little Timmy and Suzie are listening to, so they can decide on a case-by-case basis whether or not they are mature enough to handle the content and not do damage to an impressionable developing mind that was not ready to hear it yet in the first place.

On The Road At Summer NAMM – Bonus
13 juli 2018 |
56 min
Typically on Growin' Up Rock, we are all about the music and the artists who create it, but in this episode we take our show on the road and head to Nashville for Summer NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) industry event to learn more about what's happening in the business of music. At the show, we have quick chats with producer/engineer Nick Raskulinecz (Rush, Halestorm, Foo Fighters) and Living Colour bassist Doug Wimbish. Then marketing manager Matt Brown at EVH guitars gives us the story behind Eddie Van Halen's Eruption '78 series guitar packages. We run into Decibel Geek Alumni, Toddzilla and attend concerts with Poison, Cheap Trick, Pop Evil, and Thee Rock n Roll Residency while hanging out with our friends at The Decibel Geek. The NAMM show (National Association of Music Merchants) happens twice a year and isn't open to the public. The expo area showcases the latest tools and instruments on the market so that merchants can place their orders to get the stuff in their stores for musicians to purchase. So while the event is restricted to music industry insiders, the bonus of this is that often there are artist walking around taking a look at the latest products or demoing equipment.

Inside Bob Nalbandian’s Metal Heart – EP054
8 juli 2018 |
116 min
In this episode, we talk with Bob Nalbandian, director of the docuseries “Inside Metal: The Pioneers Of Hard Rock And Metal.” Bob shares his growing up rock stories and some amazing stories about making these documentaries and growing up in LA during this glorious time for hard rock and metal music. In the not-too-distant future, the awesome bands of the 70’s and 80’s that we grew up loving and seeing live in concert be just a memory. Time stops for no man. That’s why it’s increasingly important for documentaries to be made by people like Bob Nalbandian who grew up in LA and is an ardent fan of hard rock and metal. Bob was into the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) and some of the awesome local acts happening out in LA during the musical explosion of the 80’s and early 90’s. Bob Nalbandian loves the music and connected first hand with the musicians, many of whom grew up in Los Angeles at a time when bands and fans filled local clubs like the Whiskey, The Troubadour, The Starwood, and The Country Club. You've heard of Motley Crue, Van Halen, Ratt, and Quiet Riot, but for every one of those bands there were five others that were every bit as popular in the clubs at the time that you never heard of unless you lived on the Sunset Strip when the LA metal scene exploded. We had an awesome time just hanging out and talking with Bob about some of the stories, characters, and memories he had seeing these killer rock n roll bands coming of age in the early stages of their careers out in Hollywood.

Jacob Cade – Young Rock Rising – EP053
2 juli 2018 |
89 min
Jacob Cade represents the young rock rising in music today. The young 19 year old up and coming singer / guitar player from Denver sits down with Growin’ Up Rock to share his experiences working with famed hard rock producer Michael Wagner, and co-writing songs from his upcoming EP release “Hunger” with Lzzy Hale and Joe Hottinger from Halestorm, Rachel Bolan from Skid Row, and Paul Taylor from Winger. We discuss the state of the music business today through the eyes of a young artist. We play some choice cuts from Jacob’s album as well as some of his favorite tunes to crank up. They say that Rock is Dead, and after my visit to Denver and sitting down with Jacob Cade, I think Rock lives strongly in the heart of the young. All you have to do is press play on either Jacob’s 1st album “The Prince Of Rock n Roll” which he wrote when he was 16, or one of the new tunes off his upcoming EP “Hunger” to hear that he not only loves Rock and classic rock like Zeppelin, GNR, Slash, and Aerosmith, but he writes music that has its sights set on bringing back rock to the mainstream. Raw in your face loud guitar riffs with thundering bass and drums layered with aggressive youthful vocals with almost a punk attitude, rips through your car stereo speakers while heading down the highway to a big arena rock show. Ahhh, don’t that just bring back the memories? It's completely exciting for us to see rock is still alive and well in the youth of America. Jacob Cade, is in the early stages of his ‘Growin’ Up Rock Story”, but he was kind enough to open his door and share with us all the amazing stories he has already built up and given us his insight and views on where he may go from here. Jacob will also be appearing at this years Rock n Pod 2 Expo in Nashville, so hopefully you will make the trip. It’s an entertaining discussion with some righteous loud rock n roll mixed in.

It’s All In The Numbers – EP051

It's all in the numbers, or at least that's what a numbers guy like Hollywood would have us all believe. It's really simple, there is a ton of great rock bands and great rock songs that revolve around numbers. Lets face it, music itself is all about beats and time signatures, aka Numbers!! In this episode Sonny takes the even numbers and Steven embraces the fact that he is the odd man out, and begrudgingly takes the odd numbers. We discuss some of Steven's latest concert adventures and play some bands and songs that have everything to do with the numbers, duh, the title of the episode is "It's All In The Numbers".

It's Graduation Day at Growin' Up Rock, and our friend Bakko from the Cobras and Fire Podcast is here to help us figure out where our lives went horribly wrong. Do you remember your Senior Year? Your Graduation Day? What was your life like at that time? What rock bands and concerts impacted you during this pivotal time in your life? Sonny goes missing, and we are sure he is completely trying to avoid Bakko like the plague. Tune in to find out the truth of Hollywood's disappearance. Growin' Up Rock is halfway to 100 episodes and in this, our 50th episode, we decide to reflect on our senior year in high school.

Stryper’s Michael Sweet – EP049
4 juni 2018 |
51 min
Stryper has been a Growin' Up Rock part of my life since they released the Yellow and Black Attack back in 1984. Singer and lead guitarist Michael Sweet is an amazing singer and we feel criminally underrated as a guitar player, so it is an honor to have him sit in with us on today's podcast. We talk to Michael about some of his earliest memories and influences, and we get into Stryper's latest release "God Damn Evil." Check out GUR co-host Sonny Pooni's album review right here. Michael is the driving force behind Stryper and he appears to be one of the hardest working men in rock n roll, with solo projects, Stryper albums, touring, Sweet and Lynch records, etc. When does this dude find the time to do stuff, like you know SLEEP!?! To me, it seems like the music the band has been releasing on the last two albums is as good, if not better, than anything they released in their so called "Hey Day." I say their "Hey Day" is today!! So grab your bible (just kidding, no preaching here, this is a rock show) and turn it up while you check out the latest episode of the Growin' Up Rock podcast.

Life, Love & Rock N Roll – EP046
18 maj 2018 |
101 min
What's it all about? It's about Life, Love, & Rock n Roll. At least that's what Sonny and I think. On this episode we find out how a band called Granny 4 Barrel made so much noise and a lasting impression after I showed up late and completely missed their live set. We discuss the upcoming summer concert series. I tell you all about playing hooky on a school night in order to rock n roll my way through the mean streets of Atlanta, while Sonny travels from city to city, selling his companies cult like wears. We decide that part of hanging out and shooting the shit about concerts and our wives, is also playing a little Def Leppard, Kix, Nordic Union, Billy Idol, Hell's Addiction, and The Darkness.

Joel Hoekstra Interview – EP045
13 maj 2018 |
86 min
Whitesnake's guitarist, Joel Hoekstra is the perfect portrait of what today’s guitar god looks like. The man comes across as humble with true personal values, but on stage just enough attitude and swagger that draws you in, and has you standing on your chair with your fist raised high above your head. Oh, and we can’t forget the most important trait in a guitar hero. You must be able to wield your guitar like a sword in an all out musical war, which Joel does without a doubt. In this episode we talk with Whitesnake guitarist, Joel Hoekstra. Joel is a guitar hero in demand and has built a solid resume that is second to none. Joel is currently part of one of the best twin guitar attacks in rock n roll playing alongside Reb Beach in Whitesnake. In addition to Whitesnake, Joel spends the rest of his year sharing the stage with Cher, and Trans Siberian Orchestra. Joel Hoekstra has not only recorded several solo albums, including Joel Hoekstra’s 13, an album Joel released in 2015 which is more a collection of actual songs, rather than a collection of instrumentals which you might expect in a guitar players solo effort. Joel spent several years as a partner in crime with Brad Gillis to the dual guitar efforts of Night Ranger and playing in the Broadway production of Rock Of Ages. We talk with Joel about his earliest memories around his musical upbringing and discuss his gateways into Rock n Roll. We get into all the musical relationships he has built with so many of today's superstars and how his work ethic and positive attitude has made him in demand and given him many opportunities that most musicians in his line of work would kill to have. Joel picks a handful of songs from Whitesnake and Joel Hoekstra 13 to share with the listeners and we talk about the upcoming Whitesnake tour with Foreigner as well as a new album coming from Whitesnake.

Prince, We Like It Heavy – EP042
22 april 2018 |
88 min
We Love Prince and we like it heavy, so we want to celebrate the rock n roll side of his music on this 2nd anniversary of his passing. Legends never die. “I never meant to cause use any sorrow, I never meant to cause you any pain…” Whether Prince was preaching to the crowd, telling a personal story or encouraging everyone to get funky, the messages were loud and clear. Although he is no longer physically present, he lives with us through his incredible music. On We like it heavy: Prince we discuss the iconic artist, Prince. Although we all love “the hits”, we go a little deeper and cover the more guitar driven rock tracks. There are not many mainstream artists that appeal to the hardcore rock/heavy metal fans. It’s just not cool in our narrowly focused world. But, Prince seemed to connect to everyone. So, whether you love pop, R&B, rock, or funk, there is Prince music for everyone at Growin’ Up Rock.

Loverboy w/ Paul Dean – EP041
15 april 2018 |
110 min
Loverboy lead guitarist Paul Dean is a rare breed in a rock band. He’s loyal to almost a fault, and in a world dominated by Guitar Gods, his ego is checked at the door while focusing on writing music not to suit his own stature, but rather put his lead singer Mike Reno in the best possible situation to use what Paul says is “one of the best rock voices in history” Formed in Calgary in 1979, Loverboy ruled the rock airwaves and MTV from 80 -85 with an amazing string of hits and platinum albums. Tunes like “Turn Me Loose”, “Hot Girls In Love”, “Lovin’ Every Minute Of It”, “Working For The Weekend”, and more. After a successful debut album with Canadian rockers Streetheart, Paul Dean was sent packing back to Calgary where he got back up on the horse, coming together with rock solid vocalist Mike Reno to form Loverboy. Paul Dean was instrumental in the success of Loverboy, co-writing on almost all the songs for the first 4 records, which by the way were the ones that made Loverboy a household name in the 80s. In this episode, Growin’ Up Rock’s Steven Michael talks on the phone with Loverboy’s guitarist Paul Dean to discuss his early years, growing up in a remote Canadian resort area, playing around the campfires, and seeing Jimi Hendrix and Vanilla Fudge play live. We get into his early bands, Loverboy, and what he feels his role in the band has always been. We discuss why he thinks Loverboy’s members have stayed in tact for so many years continuing to play out live each and every year. We talk about the release of his new single and solo album, and just have a genuinely great conversation with one of Steven’s many influential Growin’ Up Rock bands Like always - Get out there and support live and recorded rock n roll music.

Texas Hippie Coalition w/ Big Dad Ritch – EP040
10 april 2018 |
52 min
Texas Hippie Coalition. Formed in Denison, Texas by vocalist Big Dad Ritch and former bass player John Exall, the band plays a brand of music they they call "Red Dirt Metal". Imagine if you will, that bands could get together and have a Rock n Roll Love Child. Figuratively speaking if ZZ Top, and Pantera were to get together they would have for sure bred something sounding a lot like Texas Hippie Coalition. Texas Hippie Coalition has been on a consistent run of putting out an album every two years since 2008. Pride Of Texas (08), Rollin (10), Peacemaker (12), Ride On (14), Dark Side Of Black (16) have all been very consistent in sound, flying the flag high for Texas and that "Red Dirt Metal" sound. The song "Hands Up" showed up on a Spotify recommendation list for me, and since Spotify had done such a great job in the past with its recommendations for me, I was game to hit play and I'm glad I did. In that song, I heard a larger than life arena rock anthem with southern attitude and heavy guitar aggression, I had not heard since my last spin of a Pantera album. They are not near as "Thrashy" as Pantera, but I think that southern flair mixed with the heavy guitars is what makes me think Pantera a little. Guitarist Cord Pool, Nevada Romo, and Drummer Tim Braun, along with vocalist and founding "MC" Big Dad Ritch, flood the speakers and stages of the world with a "get up and break some shit" attitude. This is what initially attracted me to the band, and why I set out to find out more about this band of outlaws, I knew very little about other than the name which I had heard in circles previously. I reached out to have that conversation with Big Dad Ritch and find out more about this "new to me" band, I had embraced and wanted to share with the Growin' Up Rock audience. What I found in this interview was a dude who is absolutely dedicated to his music and his fans, which in this day and age is refreshing. All bands say they love their fans, but as you will find out THC practices what they preach in making it feel like one big sweaty rock n roll family. BDR and I talk about the upcoming tour, keeping on track with putting out a new album in 2018 and some fun memories and stories about growing up in Texas, his dedicated fans, and a brush with greatness that included the late great Stevie Ray Vaughn and Dimebag Daryl.

Girl Gone Bad – EP039
2 april 2018 |
72 min
Ever wanted a good girl gone bad? A wild woman? A sexy temptress? The girl next door, who is much more than you fantasized about? A girl gone bad is what every red blooded male secretly wants. We ALL love a bad girl.......at least for a little while. We here at Growin' Up Rock, are not a whole lot different. In our youth, we were drawn to rock n roll and hard rock in particular because it was a little dangerous, rebellious, and most importantly the chicks flocked to it. Make no mistake about it, every teenage dude wants to play in a band, because he wants to score high points with the ladies. Since the early days of Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, and The Beatles, rock n roll was cool and seem to attract the bad girl or at least a good girl dreaming of being bad. Steven and Sonny talk about their secret fantasies that involve scantily clad women, rock n roll videos, fire breathing dragons, and the 7 dwarfs..........OK that last part was totally and completely made up, but I bet it made you raise an eyebrow or at least chuckle.

You think you know a few things about Talking Metal and about Mark Strigl, but you have no idea. The fellas have a great time digging into Mark's Growin' Up Rock past and talking all things music. Mark has been doing a rock podcast since 2005, and In fact when Mark started, you could count the amount of Podcast dedicated to rock music on one hand. Now a days the market is flooded with plenty of killer rock podcast available to help get you through the daily grind of work and life and Talking Metal along with Growin' Up Rock is a nice place for you to start. Mark has interviewed tons of great guest over the years, and has plenty of great stories to share, but Mark's story is so much more than extensive and entertaining than just hosting a Podcast. We get into Mark's Growin' Up Rock story as he shares with us how a rock and metal loving dude, who once felt out of place and like a "geek" among the rockers of the 80s, quickly adapted to the grunge music of the 90s and became comfortable as a "cool kid" working at MTV and VH1. Mark's story includes attending Berklee School Of Music, playing in numerous bands around the New York area, and working at MTV, VH1, Sci-Fi Channel and Fuse while getting the opportunity to jam on Video with various musicians from bands like Exodus, Overkill, Twisted Sister, and more. Mark is not a rock star that sold millions of albums, but he has a great and entertaining story that any music fan is going to enjoy, so delay no more and check out our convo with Mark Strigl from Talking Metal.

Going Solo – EP037
18 mars 2018 |
109 min
Hey Ma!!, I'm going solo. In what could very well become a on-going series for Growin' Up Rock down the road, Steven, Hollywood, along with very special guest Joe Polo from Podcast Rock City join forces to discuss several artist who have left or taken a break from the Mothership bands that helped create their famous status in the first place, to go solo or join forces with other artist in a new venture to create kick ass rock n roll. One never knows what drives an artist to leave one creative force to join another or in many situations set out on their own to in a sense become their own boss, and take their careers into their own hands. Maybe its money, or maybe its ego. Perhaps its a "yes" man by their side telling them how great they are, and how they are the "real" talent in the band. Hell, for all we know it's as simple as they hate the other dudes in the band and just need to get away. Either way, it has provided the fans and buyers of all things music, both trainwrecks, and absolute gems of new music to crank loud and proud. In this first installment of the series, we go deep on a few artist and tracks to find some really great hard rocking stuff to jam the speakers with and on other selections we stay a little closer to the obvious, while choosing maybe the not so obvious tunes to play. We have great time visiting with Joe Polo and find out a little about his Growin' Up Rock story. We find out that Joe does like other music besides just Kiss and maybe in not much of a surprise, one of Joe's selections for the night involves Kiss, go figure, I never saw that coming. We hope you enjoy this episode, and that you share some of your selections on our Facebook page to start the conversation with other listeners. The one thing we found out when starting to research this episode, was the massive amount of artist especially in today's musical environment that have created awesome music as a solo act or part of a completely new band apart from what originally they were know for. This is exactly what inspired the reason this may become a on-going series for the GUR team.

Cell Phone Roulette – EP036
11 mars 2018 |
72 min
It's time to spin the Growin' Up Rock cell phone roulette wheel of rock n roll. Steve and Hollywood, pull out their personal cell phones and let the shuffle button dictate exactly what music is going to be played on the show this evening. Have no fear, they have made sure specific for this episode that their massive and diverse libraries have been segregated to only include killer rock n roll music, so we don't unwillingly play some of that Hall & Oates, or Flock Of Seagulls that Hollywood loves so much. We have no idea what music will be played until the shuffle happens but what we do know is that it will be loud and rockin. We also discuss some of the completely ridiculous other Podcast that we listen to and why we are at war with most of them. How politics and religion play a part in us choosing the music we play and what it all means. OK that last part was completely made up and really has nothing to do with this latest episode. We never get into politics or religion and we pretty love most of the other podcast we listen to and in fact are friends with those guys.

Klassik ’78 Interview w/ Joe – EP035
4 mars 2018 |
62 min
Klassik ‘78 is a sonic trip back to your bedroom circa 1978, with your Kiss records on the turntable cranked up , distorting the cheap speakers ever so slightly in order to shake the walls while your parental units were away. Steve and Sonny are back with another interview with Klassik ‘78 (Steve interviewed K78 mastermind Tom in EP 2 - Listen to it Here). This time around the guys interview Joe (Aka The Voice Of Paul Stanley) from Klassik ‘78. Joe talks about the recording of the new EP “Side Two” and they go track by track through the new tunes and discuss how he ended up with K78, along with his role in the band. They also have a little fun talking about Joe’s favorite Kiss albums in a lightning round. If you are not familiar with Klassik ‘78, the best way to describe them is a band that records completely original music that sounds Exactly like ‘74 - ‘78 era Kiss. Make no mistake about it, this shit is good, from the classic sound of the recording to the way the songs are written and come across to the listener. To a Kiss Army soldier, this is a musical wet dream. If you are a Kiss freak and have followed the band over the years, then you are completely aware that time keeps moving and the bands sound has moved right along with it, but hearing Klassik ‘78, makes it OK to be a kid again and remember why you became a Kiss fan in the first place. Not only does K78 produce that classic sound from an era long gone by a band loved by so many, but the original songs they are writing and recording are freakin great. Don’t get me wrong, you are not going to see Klassik ‘78 songs at the top of today's charts, but you we’rent going to see Kiss there back in ‘78 either and their music kicked ass.

Enuff Z’ Nuff Conversation w/ Chip Z’ Nuff – EP034
25 februari 2018 |
66 min
Enuff Z' Nuff is a band from the late 80s formed in Chicago by current bass player and vocalist Chip Z' Nuff and former vocalist Donnie Vie, that in my opinion never got a fair shake. They may or may not have contributed to their own trials and tribulations through sex, drugs, alcohol, and bad decisions, but no matter the issues and who was to blame, the bottom line was they wrote freaking great songs. Enuff Z' Nuff had a great mixture of fantastic melodies, huge hooks, lush harmonies, and hard rocking guitars. With a feel straight out of the Beatles catalog, but with their own spin, they were a power pop band at heart that were lumped into the hair metal category with many others from that era. Growin' Up Rock attended a local concert and sat down with Chip Z' Nuff after soundcheck to talk about his and the bands early days. We talk about how a visit to the Howard Stern show changed the path of the band and we get insight into the current band lineup. Chip gives us exciting news about a brand new upcoming release "Diamond Boy" due out in June on Frontiers Records. The band played a fantastic set that night on the bill with Junkyard, and The all female tribute band "The Iron Maidens" Chip looked right at home as the frontman and sounded great singing all the old material. The rest of the band, Tony Fennell: Guitar, Tory Stoffregen: Guitar, and Dan Hill: Drums were tight and all great players in their own right. The Friday night crowd was treated to the following set: Baby Loves You Kiss The Clown Heaven Or Hell In The Groove Solo Section Jean Genie (Bowie Cover) Fly High Michelle New Thing Dog On A Bone Wheels If the band comes to your neighborhood, make sure you get out there and support them and any other killer rock n roll bands that are out there playing each and every night.

Sons Of Apollo Interview w/ Jeff Scott Soto – EP033
21 februari 2018 |
76 min
Super group Sons Of Apollo vocalist Jeff Scott Soto has embraced his artistry and explored many genres of music that make him happy. Being able to be creative in so many different genres of music has not only made Jeff a go to singer by many artist and producers, but it shows just how well rounded a musician Jeff Scott Soto has become. He might of gone on to be the permanent replacement singer for Steve Perry in Journey or perhaps even the new singer in Queen replacing the legendary Freddie Mercury, but then he would have felt trapped in a box, performing songs he loves, but someone else created, instead of giving him the creative outlet he craved as an artist and being able to share his gift of melody and hooks with the world. On this episode of Growin' Up Rock, we sit down with Sons Of Apollo vocalist Jeff Scott Soto and take a high view walk through less talked about parts of his career. We find out how Co-Host Sonny Pooni's Musical Man Crush started his musical journey in life and how he may have almost become Queen's new singer. We get into his current role with SOA, and find out how he works gaining his individual identity in a band of Superstar instrumentalist.

It's time to finish up our coverage of the 2018 Atlanta Kiss Expo with this epic marathon episode of the Kiss Expo Konfessionals Pt. 2.

Along the way we play some pretty killer music, which helps to put in perspective all the great stories from the awesome people we get to meet. In the second and final part of our Kiss Konfessionals from the 2018 Kiss Expo in Atlanta, we finish strong in a celebration of Vinnie Vincent & Kiss fandom. Everyone had a Rock n Roll story to share with Growin' Up Rock on how they found Kiss and how it affected their lives. What songs and albums they prefer, and how it feels when we ask them to choose their favorite Kiss Song / Album, comparing it often to choosing their favorite child. The Expo included Bob Kulick, Ron Keel, Eddie Trunk, Robert Fleischman, Big John Harte, and the headlining name on the marquee, Vinnie Vincent. The return of the Ankh Warrior after more than 20 years out of the public eye. A BIG THANK YOU JULIAN GILL FOR THE BOOK DONATION!!

Bob Kulick Interview – EP029
15 januari 2018 |
44 min
Bob Kulick is an amazing guitar player and Grammy Award winning producer who has played and written with artist like Kiss, W.A.S.P., Diana Ross, Meatloaf, Patti Labelle, and Michael Bolton just to name a few. Steven & Sonny interview Bob to discuss his earliest musical memories. We also get into the recording of his newest record “Skeletons In The Closet”. (You can check out Hollywood’s album review right HERE) We discuss some of the many tribute records he has produced including the one for which he won a Grammy. Bob has cemented his place in rock n roll history, but his story is not one that is up front and familiar to most. Although his younger brother Bruce Kulick may have gotten more attention becoming a member of Kiss in the 80s and 90s for a span of 12 years, Bob also is part of the Kiss family having played on many of the bands albums. Bob has seen and done plenty in the world of Rock, Pop, and R&B that no doubt will supply him with an endless amount of stories to fill an entertaining book one day. Until that book comes out, he was kind enough to spend a little time with us and talk about topics like growing up around New York in the late 60s and meeting artist like Jimi Hendrix as well as playing some of the famous venues around town like Cafe Wha. As an added bonus and because we wanted to test Bob’s cat like reflexes, we threw a bunch of random questions at him in a “Lightning Round” or not so lightning round - You decide. Bob was a great sport and we had a lot of fun grilling him on some of his preferred taste revolving around music.

Vinnie Vincent Family Tree – EP028
8 januari 2018 |
104 min
Vinnie Vincent is a mystery, he’s an enigma, in fact he’s a mystery wrapped up in an enigma. He is a talented songwriter, guitar player, producer and studio engineer, and even has some vocal abilities as you will hear from some of the demos. In order to unwrap this enigma, we needed to bring in the heavy artillery, so we went after our favorite Vinnie Vincent geek, our buddy and special guest Chris Czynszak from the Decibel Geek Podcast. Steve, Hollywood, and Chris are getting ready for the upcoming Atlanta Kiss Expo, and what better way to do this, then by exploring the Vinnie Vincent Family Tree. We discuss Vinnie’s early years, his time in Kiss, and The Invasion. We get into some rare demos from Warrior and talk about some of the interesting recordings we have come across including songs with The Bangles, Wendy O’ Williams, Jeff Scott Soto, and John Waite. and if that was not enough, we bust Sonny's balls about being a social media icon. Don't miss the music or laughs and check out this episode. We are sure you will not regret it. This will kick off an amazing several week of Kiss related content, from upcoming interviews with Kiss FAQ host Julian Gill, Bob Kulick, Klassik '78, and some other special surprises. It will all bubble over into February with releases of our coverage of the Atlanta Kiss Expo.

The Babys Interview – EP027
1 januari 2018 |
79 min
The Babys co-founding members Tony Brock and Wally Stocker jumped on a Skype call for an interview with GUR host Steven Michael for an awesome and entertaining walk through their careers. Tony Brock The Babys are a British rock band that formed in 1975. They released five studio albums between ‘76 and ‘80 before reforming in 2013 to release a sixth studio album called “I’ll Have Some Of That.” Though the band had some success with Billboard chart climbers like “Isn’t It Time” and “Everytime I Think Of You,” they never really exploded like some of their contemporaries. Member changes and management changes during the recording of their third release “Head First” didn’t help matters, nor did mega changes at their record label. Wally Stocker In my opinion, The Babys helped lay the blueprint in the mid ‘70s for melodic hard rock and AOR that would birth many bands which would shape the massive rock sound in the 80s. Over the years, The Babys lineup has included members John Waite who had a successful solo career with the hits “Missing You” and “Changes,” Jonathan Cain who went on to become a integral part of Journey at the pinnacle of their career, and Ricky Phillips who played alongside Waite, Cain and Neal Schon in Bad English and also has been a part of Styx since ‘03. Drummer Tony Brock went on to play with Rod Stewart for 12 years as well as for Sir Elton John, and he also produced Australian superstars Jimmy Barnes and Keith Urban. Lead Guitarist Wally Stocker had a post-Babys career with Air Supply and Rod Stewart. Now in 2018 with its newest members John Bisaha (Bass and Lead Vocals), guitarist Joey Sykes, keyboardist Francesco Saglietti and The Babettes Holly Bisaha and Elisa Chadbourne joining founders Brock and Stocker, the band is back with a classic but current Babys sound. Check out their latest release and make sure you see them live when they hit your city. It’s worth your efforts as the band is garnering a lot of new buzz for the live shows and their new material.

Color By Numbers – EP024
11 december 2017 |
93 min
Numbers and colors are all around us, so we decide to explore some song titles and bands that contain a number or color in the title. There are a shit ton of songs that either have a color or a number in the title. Hell for that matter, there are even a few band's with a color or a number as part of the band name. There is no way in hell we will ever get to all of them. Sounds like the birth of a recurring series!! In a “Hollywood” exclusive series opener, we are going to talk about band's with songs that either include a color or number in the title. The first episode will focus more on deeper cuts from some very well known bands, and some great rocking tracks from a few lesser known bands that we love here at GUR. We are only scratching the surface on what will become another recurring theme in various future episodes. Let us know how you like the theme, and if you would like to see more of this type of theme in the future. In please make sure you go to our Facebook or Twitter page and share some of your favorite band's or song that include a number or color in the title.

When The Lights Go Down – EP023
4 december 2017 |
83 min
Sonny and I have been to a ton of concerts over the years between us. There have been great ones and some not so great, but the one thing we both agree on, is that one of the most hair raising, goosebumps giving moments of the entire night, is when those house lights go down, that intro tape rolls, and the band comes on the stage with a flash kickin’ ass launching into that first song of the night. In this episode, we search our failing memories to find a handful of those great concerts and share those memories and opening kick ass songs with all of our fellow rock n rollers.

Under The Influence Of The Stones – EP022
27 november 2017 |
87 min
When you think of iconic rock bands, you have to think of The Rolling Stones. Not a Stones Fan? Not everyone is, but understand that Jagger and Richards laid the blueprint for many, many rock stars to come in the late 70's, 80's, and 90's. Guys like Steven Tyler & Joe Perry, Slash & Axl, and numerous others were influenced in many ways through the music and swagger of The Rolling Stones. In what will be a recurring series of Growin’ Up Rock, Hollywood, and Steve will be discussing some of the most iconic and influential rock n roll bands in history, and the hard rock and metal bands that were influenced by not only their music, but the show, style, and attitude of these rock titans. In each "Under The Influence" episode, we will pick one iconic band we felt influenced many of the hard rock and metal bands we loved back in the day, and maybe some of the newer bands coming out today that we're digging on. So even if you are not a huge fan of the band we think were influential, the bands we will be featuring and the music we will be playing will be right up your alley. Everyone knows that you can’t discuss the term rock n roll without mentioning the Rolling Stones, so we thought this was as good a place as any to start. Bands like Aerosmith, GNR, Cinderella, Hanoi Rocks, New York Dolls, Kiss, The Black Crowes, and countless others were all influenced in some way by The Rolling Stones. Word of the day: Phenomenal Reviews: Colin Francis: “Hi there. Just wanted to say your last episode ballad is fantastic it has turned me onto some old rock bands I haven’t heard of which is unusual for me so at the moment I am checking all them bands out as we speak thanks and keep up the great work” Jason Kearney: “I was at a show of theirs (Tesla) here in Reno where I helped shield his mom as she was center and up front for the show and they played Mama's Fool. At the end of the song he said my momma didn't raise no fool, isn't that right momma? - totally cool moment.” “Grown Ups Of The Week” Tom Zimm Longbox Scavengers Restrayned Darryl Alber 60 minutes with podcast Thom Dust Knighthawk Jay Szczeblewski Derik Novak Podcast Rock City Save Rock N Metal Finnegan O’dell Emmanuel Goldstein Courtney Cronin Dold Eladio EMZT Productions Alexander Harry Cippotter Decibel Geek Podcast Jody Havenot Podder Than Hell Podcast Richard S Pearson Andrew Jacobs Chinokura Rock Tony Musallam Jason Alexander Digital Killed the Radio Star Shout Out To The Following For Their Listener Stories: Neil Bees Stephen Edmondson Dennis Talbott - “Ages Of Rock” Everyone’s got a Rock N Roll story to tell, so tell us yours @ growinuprock.com Follow us on Twitter @growinuprock Like us and leave us a review on our FaceBook page - @ growinuprock Subscribe to our Podcast at the platform of your choice and leave us a review Support Music / Artist / and Your Favorite Podcast Growin’ Up Rock Amazon Store The Quireboys - This is Rock N Roll The Dog’s D’Amour - Debauchery Hanoi Rocks - Watcha Want The Cult-Dirty - Little Rockstar J.Geils Band - Takin’ You Down Black Crowes - Twice As Hard

Trixter Interview w/Mark Gus Scott – EP021
20 november 2017 |
94 min
Trixter was a young band from New Jersey that exploded onto the hard rock scene in 1990 with the hits, "Give It To Me Good" and "One In A Million," just before the bottom gave out from Rock to grunge around '92. Charismatic drummer Mark Gus Scott has been there from the beginning to see it all happen. We jumped on the phone with Mark for a long and entertaining conversation. We talked about the early days of Trixter, and some of the killer tours they have been a part of, including Kiss, Scorpions, and the now infamous Blood, Sweat, & Beers tour with Warrant and Firehouse. Mark shared some stories and memories involving firearms, fireworks, and alcohol, along with a double-size helping of rock n roll. Mark's not just your average drummer pounding the skins with little or no musical inclination other than smashing the shit out of cymbals. While still a high school Trumpet player, Mark was awarded a special citation to attend the University of Hartford's Hartt School of Music over the summers and study music, which he puts to great use in the release of a new and traditional holiday EP called "Christmas Miracle." The first single is Mark's rendition of the classic "Ave Maria," and he will be giving 100% of the proceeds of the sale of the single to the worthy charity "Hope 4 Kids International" which focuses on serving children living in impoverished environments around the world. You can support the cause by picking up the EP for the holidays and sharing with friends and family.

Hero Albums To Zero Albums – EP020
13 november 2017 |
101 min
Ever heard of the Sophomore Jinx? Sometimes a band can spend their entire career writing that absolute gem of a debut album, only to follow it up with a complete failure. Sometimes that so called sophomore jinx even happens in the middle of a band's career. Steve and Sonny get into a fun conversation about some bands they love, that produced a fantastic album, only to follow it up with a less than stellar offer. So in other words they went from a hero of an album to a complete Zero, by dropping an atomic stink bomb of a record. Agree to disagree with some of our fine selections? Let us know all about it.

Some like a soft ballad, but I prefer the bombastic, Everyone that listens to the show knows Sonny likes his rock n roll, but he also love’s him some ballads.

Biters Interview w/ Tuk – EP012
18 september 2017 |
70 min
Biters from Atlanta are an amazing band that channel rock n roll influences like T.Rex, The Sweet, Cheap Trick, AC DC, and even Tom Petty, yes I said Tom Petty, to carve out dirty, hook-laden rock/pop anthems that will have you pumping your fist and screaming for more. They create a sound from a rockin’ era long-lost, and somehow make it fresh and exciting yet familiar. The music comes from a place of honesty and integrity and just an all-around love and affection for classic rock of the 70’s and early 80s.Take away the labels and the influences and what you are left with is just damn catchy songwriting. When I reached out to main songwriter and frontman Tuk, I wanted to hear his Rock N Roll story, so I could understand how his influences shaped the musician he is and the songs he writes to create Biters music. Tuk & Steve Michael at the dog park Instead of the usual Skype call, studio interview, or tour bus talk, Tuk suggested we meet at a neighborhood dog park out in back of a cool little coffee house. It was an absolute beautiful day, and I was sold, yet a little hesitant because of sound quality, but what I got was a very cool interview, with all the sounds of nature, and dogs along with a great conversation and insight into what makes this great newer band tick. Don’t miss the fun and unique introduction to this episode, as I am helped out by my two Decibel Geek brothers, fellow podcasters, and Biters fans Chris and Aaron when I stopped by their Nashville studio.

Here is his some of his story in his words: "Like most I grew up with older K-Tel records from my folks and the country music playing outta the radio each morning. Without going into details I ended up going into foster care for a year and my brother and I went into a musicless home except ABBA. After a year of that (isn't that enough?!) I came home and the Children's Aid Society appointed me a "big Brother". When I met him I was astounded! It was a catholic monk! Brown robe and all". Want to hear more? Check out the Podcast!!

In the latest episode of GUR, we talk with Restrayned guitarist and singer Tony Musallam. Restrayned is a hard and heavy unsigned band from the west coast. This band is a great example of fantastic undiscovered music that exist out in the world today. Is Rock dead? I sure as hell don’t think so, and you won’t either when you hear this cool conversation, and listen to a couple of tracks we play from these guys.

The song "Can’t Find My Way Back Home" is originally from Blind Faith with Steve Winwood, not Traffic, which was also a Windwood band. I’m sure we may have messed up a couple of other things but we try really hard, so let us know what we got wrong.
