I know, I know last week I said we were wrapping up our classic throwback series but sometimes ya gotta accept a change in plans.

Richie was able to get bassist Tony Montana on the line to talk about the classic Great White albums, “Twice Shy” and “Hooked” as well as what’s up with Jack Russell’s Great White and Tony’s latest solo project Shadow & The Thrill.

I think that’s well worth extending the classic throwback for another week.

And as always Focus On Metal…Everything Else is Insignificant.

This week we wrap up our month of classic throwback episodes with the guest that inspired the whole idea, Teresa Straley. Teresa was of course the vocalist for the band Harlow.

They made one self titled release in 1990 with three accompanying singles, and then they were gone. This week Teresa is on the show to give us the whole story.

Yep, another week of classic throwback episodes. This week we welcome vocalist Mike Vescera. Mike has been involved with a lot of great bands including Yngwie and Obsession but this week we are talking to him about his time with Loudness from 1989 to 1991.

Back again this week with another week of classic throwback episodes. This week we welcome vocalist Sandra “Sandi” Saraya. Sandi was the voice of Saraya from 1987 to 1992 and we’re happy to welcome her this week to talk about those years and the two albums the group produced.

We continue this week with another week of classic throwback episodes. This week we welcome guitarist Tony Bruno. Tony has played with a ton of people but this week we have him on to talk about his years from 1987 to 1992 with Saraya.

If you want to catch Tony these days you can always see if Rocktopia is hitting your area in the coming weeks.

As promised this week we kick off a few weeks of classic throwback episodes. First up we welcome drummer Andy V. Galeon back on the show to discuss some classic Death Angel, most notably “The Ultra-Violence” and “Frolic Through The Park”.

Two great guests this week. First up is Death Angel’s vocalist Mark Osegueda who sat down for a chat about all things Death Angel and Metal Allegiance.

Next up Jordan Rudess returns to the show to talk about his new solo effort “Wired For Madness” and the new Dream Theater release “Distance Over Time”.

And as always Focus On Metal…Everything Else is Insignificant.

First up this week we talk with Tim “Ripper” Owens. Between Spirits of Fire, The Three Tremors, and A New Revenge, Tim is one busy guy these days but he still took some time to talk with us about everything he’s currently got going on.

Also this week we talk with author Greg Prato. Greg’s latest book is “King’s X: The Oral History, a 300 plus page book on the band as told mostly by the members themselves.

And as always Focus On Metal…Everything Else is Insignificant.

As if both Keith St John and Doug Aldrich aren’t busy enough they have managed to write and record another Burning Rain album “Face The Music”. It’s been a while since 2013’s “Epic Obsession” (see earlier busy comment) but the wait was worth it.

11 tracks of classic hard rock with all the riffs that Doug is known for. The version for Japan also includes a bonus acoustic track.

This week Doug joins us to give the rundown on the album and what else he currently has going on including The Dead Daisies and Revolution Saints.

Another metal double header this week as we round out what has already been a packed March. First up we have guitarist Chris Caffery who’s joining us primarily to discuss Spirits of Fire, the new project he just finished for Frontiers.

Of course he does talk about TSO and some other stuff he’s currently involved with too. Next up as promised a few shows back we have another person from Last in Line.

Phil Soussan makes his second appearance on the show and he joins us to talk about the new release from LiL, the aptly titled II. Phil has a long history in the music business so we can’t resist asking him some questions about other things he’s done too.
