“Beggars Banquet” was the last to have Rolling Stones co-founder Brian Jones included and the first great Stones album…with songs “Street Fighting Man”,”Stray Cat Blues”, and the diabolical “Sympathy for the Devil”. My ultra-rare classic rock interview with original Rolling Stones bass player Bill Wyman, Mick Jagger, & Keith Richards as guests set the table for a “Beggars Banquet” fifty-fifth anniversary the week of December 5.
John Mellencamp joins me In the Studio for this classic rock interview regarding his star-making multi-million seller forty years ago, “Uh Huh”.
In his poignant acceptance speech for the Oscar for Best Actor five years ago, Rami Malek pointed out that he himself was a first-generation immigrant who portrayed a gay immigrant in the role of Queen’s Freddie Mercury. But I think that “Bohemian Rhapsody”‘s greatest accomplishment of all is it once again focused the world on Freddie Mercury’s remarkable life, rather than the circumstances of his death.
It’s the 40th anniversary of a remarkable album story. It resulted in more than eight million copies selling (three million just in the U.S.) from a musical entity thought to be extinct, but with the songs “It Can Happen”,”Hold On”,”Leave It”,”Changes”, and the #1 hit “Owner of a Lonely Heart”, YES could rise like a musical phoenix from the ashes of the progressive rock Seventies with the comeback album of the Eighties in “90125”.
A “Ronnie Montrose Tribute” featuring classic rock interviews with the late guitarist Ronnie Montrose, plus original Montrose band singer/songwriter Sammy Hagar. That album and the sadly, final Ronnie Montrose swan song album “10×10” and veteran Styx bass player/ producer Ricky Phillips who joins us here In the Studio.

It’s the 45th anniversary of Billy Joel’s “52nd Street”. We talked rock’n’roll, from Billy Joel seeing the Beatles perform on the Ed Sullivan Show to British Invasion bands that followed, garage rock, and the New York City punk scene that influencedhis approach after the1978 “52nd Street” album. But we also talked at length about baseball…
Rush “Counterparts” in October 1993 was a #2 Billboard magazine album sales debut, Rush’s highest American appeal since “Moving Pictures” over a decade earlier. Rush guitarist/co-writer Alex Lifeson is In the Studio on the 30th anniversary of “Counterparts”.
Between 1980 and 1986, the British trio Genesis released a series of four consecutive hit albums, each more successful than its predecessor by as many as five times. Because drummer/singer/songwriter Phil Collins had a parallel solo career take off during that time, reading the critical reviews from many respected music writers in this period imply that Genesis guitarist Mike Rutherford and keyboardist Tony Banks unwittingly, if not unwillingly, were somehow led by Collins in a more mainstream pop direction. However, the simple facts just don’t bear out that assumption.
