We talk to Alex Grossi - Guitarist for Quiet Riot and Hookers & Blow. From navigating the rock wasteland of the 90s to arriving in Hollywood in the 2000's, Alex shares stories of his first concert experiences, landing and losing record label deals and even fights with Barney The Dinosaur in this fun chat. We learn of the advice given to him by his late friends, the legendary Kevin DuBrow and Frankie Banali and what it's like continuing the legacy of the iconic band Quiet Riot in today's industry.
