Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, and Tom Hamilton join me In the Studio in this classic rock interview for the back story on “Permanent Vacation” & “Magic Touch”,”Dude Looks Like a Lady”,”Rag Doll”, and the #3 power ballad “Angel” which erased all doubts…to the tune of over 5,000,000 sold beginning in August 1987…
“Rag Time” originally was a subject derived from Steven Tyler’s personal “periodic table”, which has zero to do with chemistry and everything to do with female physiology…Now “Rag Doll” has remained an easy keeper in the Aerosmith live set for decades, including Halloween night in Brussels back in 1993.

It was their third album,”Shabooh Shoobah”, where INXS finally made the leap to America and the UK late in 1982 with “The One Thing”and “Don’t Change”. For the story of INXS’ formative years, the band’s keyboard player/ songwriter Andrew Farriss, guitar-playing brother Tim Farriss, and guitar/sax man Kirk Pengilly, tell of the tough and tender early days forming in the most remote city in the world, Perth Australia; surviving the one-nighters there, in Sydney and in Melbourne; allying with a talented singer from Hong Kong-via-Hollywood, the mercurial snake-hipped Michael Hutchence;
By the time Guns’n’Roses “Appetite for Destruction” passed the 18,000,000 sales point early in the 21st century, several rock magazines and websites had revised their original reviews from the July 1987 release.
