DISCovery with Eric Senich

The Rolling Stones "(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction" was released on June 6th, 1965 in the US, August 20th in the UK. That summer it was the #1 single in both countries along with several more including Austria, Ireland, West Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and South Africa. It was The Stones first #1 in the US and it stayed at the top for a full month that summer. It would go on to be ranked by Rolling Stone as the second greatest song of all time behind Bob Dylan's "Like A Rolling Stone".

In this episode we’ll get to the story behind the formation of the song, how its iconic guitar riff wasn’t even intended to be on the track, the controversial lyrics, the many cover versions of the track and more.

Photographer Mark Weiss is on the DISCovery podcast to talk about his brand new book out now called "The Decade That Rocked: The Photography Of Mark "Weissguy" Weiss". Mark's credits include Mötley Crüe's first appearance in a national publication, Oui Magazine in 1982, countless magazine covers and spreads worldwide, and the iconic imagery for many multi-platinum albums including Bon Jovi's 'Slippery When Wet' and Twisted Sister's 'Stay Hungry'.

His career-spanning book features never-before or rarely seen photos of legends like Van Halen, Ozzy Osbourne, Aerosmith, and Mötley Crüe, Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Bon Jovi, and KISS and more. It also includes exclusive interviews with Ozzy Osbourne, Dee Snider, Nikki Sixx, Joe Perry, Rob Halford, and many more who recall their memories of this era-defining decade.

You'll also get to relive Mark’s unbelievable journey through rock history, from getting arrested for selling photos outside of Kiss concert to touring with legends like Van Halen, to photographing Bon Jovi’s infamous “Slippery When Wet” shoot, shooting backstage at Live Aid with Black Sabbath, and so many more.

Captured from the unique vantage point of a photographer who lived and breathed the ’80s in all its grit and glory, "The Decade That Rocked" brings to life the no-holds-barred sounds and sights that changed the world of hard rock and metal forever.

In this episode Mark takes us back to the 80s and behind the scenes to share some amazing stories including: The iconic Twisted Sister 'Stay Hungry' album photo shoot that almost broke the band, the last-minute plastic bag decision that saved Bon Jovi's 'Slippery When Wet' album cover, David Lee Roth up in a tree with his kite, how neck biting with Mötley Crüe led to his nickname "Weissguy", his stolen Poison photos and more.

We’re talking about records in this episode but not the vinyl kind, the Guinness Book kind. This one is all about classic rock artists who have earned a place in The Guinness World Records.

Artists in this episode include The Beatles (including Paul McCartney solo), Santana, Elton John, Metallica, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, KISS, AC/DC, The Who, Deep Purple, Queen, Fleetwood Mac, Dire Straits & David Bowie.

You'll hear some artists and bands that aren’t necessarily classic rock but either they were just too interesting to leave out or they come from a category where like me you figured it would have been a classic rock band or artist who would have held the record but surprisingly didn’t.

Here's a rundown of the categories covered:
Albums
Awards
Bands
Concerts
Fans
Instruments
Singles

Pretty much every Rolling Stones fan will tell you that their greatest period came between the years 1968 and 1972. In fact, many music journalists will say it’s one of the greatest runs in rock and roll period. Four legendary albums came during that time – 1968’s ‘Beggars Banquet’, 1969’s ‘Let It Bleed’, 1971’s ‘Sticky Fingers’ and 1972’s double album ‘Exile on Main Street’.

This episode of DISCovery will center on ‘Sticky Fingers’ which was released on April 23rd, 1971. On May 8th of ‘71, it hit number one in the UK. Two weeks later, the album topped Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’s live album ‘4 Way Street’ to hit the number one position on the Billboard album chart where it stayed for a full month. As Rolling Stone magazine said of ‘Sticky Fingers’ at the time, “It’s the latest beautiful chapter in the continuing story of the greatest rock group in the world.”

This episode of DISCovery is all about rock’s first great double album – Bob Dylan’s ‘Blonde on Blonde’ from 1966. In fact, it’s the first double album ever released.

This album came at what was Bob Dylan’s creative peak. As he told Rolling Stone in 1969, “I was going at a tremendous speed at the time of my ‘Blonde on Blonde’ album. The closest I ever got to the sound I hear in my mind.” He described it as having “that thin, wild, mercury sound.”

Rolling Stone described 'Blonde on Blonde' as a chain-lightning mix of rock & roll, novelty music, surrealist ballads, Chicago blues and psychedelic country with peels of lyrical invention and epic song lengths.

We’ll get into the 14 classic tracks (listed below), the meaning behind the album title and the story behind the iconic cover photo. Plus, hear clips from Dylan’s legendary press conference held in December of 1965 in San Francisco.

SIDE ONE:
1. "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35"
2. "Pledging My Time"
3. "Visions of Johanna"
4. "One of Us Must Know (Sooner or Later)"

SIDE TWO:
1. "I Want You"
2. "Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again"
3. "Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat"
4. "Just Like a Woman"

SIDE THREE:
1. "Most Likely You Go Your Way and I'll Go Mine"
2. "Temporary Like Achilles"
3. "Absolutely Sweet Marie"
4. "4th Time Around"
5. "Obviously 5 Believers"

SIDE FOUR:
1. "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands"

Bon Scott
Steven Tyler
John Lennon
Paul McCartney
Ozzy Osbourne
Eric Clapton
Jim Morrison

This week's guest is the founder and owner of Songfacts.com, the website devoted to song information, including the history and meanings of the songs we all know and love.

Originally launched in 1999 as a resource for DJs, the site gained widespread recognition when Yahoo chose it as a pick in 2002. Songfacts also includes exclusive interviews with songwriters and musicians, a message board, music quizzes and a whole lot more.

What was planned as a discussion of all-things Songfacts, the interview transitioned into a couple of former Connecticut rock DJs hangin' out sharing radio stories and talking about our favorite classic rock artists and songs.

NOTE: In this episode you will hear Carl talk about his Songfacts interview with Bill Withers. Sadly, Withers passed shortly after this interview was recorded.
