This week we are joined by a real Rock N Roll warrior. Lead guitarist Dave Amato grew up outside of Boston, played in some pretty cool bands like Ice and August, and then set out for Los Angeles in 1980 with one goal in mind, to be a rock star. Since then he has shared the stage with many greats such as Cher, Ted Nugent, Jimmy Barnes, Kim Carnes, Julian Lennon, and even sang background vocals on a few Motley Crue records and played on a Richie Sambora solo album. In 1989, he joined REO Speedwagon and has been "riding the storm out" ever since. He also has one of the most impressive gear collections, you'll ever see. We had a fantastic fun conversation, enjoy!
