Ep. 53 - PETE BEST (The Beatles)

On this episode of The It's Only Rock And Roll Podcast, we speak with drummer PETE BEST, one of only three living men who can rightfully claim the designation “former-Beatle”. We discuss his two year role in the band's development, which took them from teenaged, amateur rockers, to road-hardened seasoned musicians – culminating with the band signing with EMI Records, and his infamous firing from the group literally on the eve of their worldwide success. Pete also recounts The Casbah, the teenage live music club his mother started out of the basement of their family home, which gave The Beatles their start.

On this episode of The It's Only Rock And Roll Podcast, we feature a wide-ranging, cathartic interview with LOU GRAMM, the former lead singer and principal co-songwriter for 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominees Foreigner. Topics covered include his early life growing up in Rochester, a parent-defying trek to a 1965 Rolling Stones concert, the lean years with his first band Black Sheep (including losing the supporting slot for the '75 Kiss tour), shooting pool with John Lennon, and an often-tumultuous relationship between himself and founding member of Foreigner, Mick Jones. He additionally gives an honest assessment of Foreigner's new singer, as well as life after surviving brain surgery.

Ep. 50 – Interview with DENNY LAINE (1944-2023)

On this episode of The It's Only Rock And Roll Podcast, we revisit my 2007 interview with singer/guitarist DENNY LAINE, who tragically passed away this week at the age of 79. Our conversation covered his entire career including his early influences, forming his first band Denny & The Diplomats (with future Move/ELO drummer Bev Bevan), and co-founding two of the most celebrated musical acts of the rock era, The Moody Blues and Wings. Denny also set the record straight on several points – a record that has often been misrepresented by critics and fans alike.

She also offers a frank history of the band, from their meteoric rise out of the underground punk scene into the top of the charts with hits like “Our Lips Are Sealed” and “We Got The Beat”, to how a conflict over royalties almost scotched the band permanently.

Ep. 32 - SUZI QUATRO

On this episode of The It's Only Rock And Roll Podcast, rock's first celebrated female bass-playing frontwoman, SUZI QUATRO talks about leaving behind her native Detroit (including an honest assessment of the ensuing resentment from her former band-mate sisters), to achieve super-stardom across the pond with mega-hits like “Can The Can”, “The Wild One”, and “Devil Gate Drive”. And after a handful of cameo appearances on Happy Days as fictional rocker 'Leather Tuscadero', found belated success at home with her 1978 Billboard Top 5 hit “Stumblin' In”.
