Ozzy Osbourne- No More Tears

Ten years prior to the release of “No More Tears” in September 1991, Ozzy Osbourne couldn’t get arrested outside England. Particularly in America, the former singer for heavy metal godfathers Black Sabbath was perceived by US record label execs as damaged goods…Then for the whole of the Eighties, Ozzy was constantly in the press, but rarely was it for his music. Ozzy admits here In the Studio that “No More Tears” was the first album he ever recorded sober, and the results were spectacular.

AC/DC- Back in Black- Angus Young, Brian Johnson

Notably, like AC/DC “Back in Black” in Summer 1980, several of the best-selling hard rock albums in history also have been made under the most dire of circumstances amidst tremendous tragedy and loss. Angus Young, Brian Johnson, & the late Malcolm Young are all interviewed here In the Studio.

Neil Young- Helpless- Live Aid Philadelphia 7-13-85

Proving to the whole world that day to be anything other than “Helpless”, Neil Young and a cast of a hundred thousand in Philadelphia’s JFK Stadium joined a similar group in London’s Wembley Stadium via satellite, and an estimated 1.4 billion viewing and listening worldwide, to raise money and awareness for starving residents of Ethiopia, Sudan, and sub-Saharan Africa on July 13, 1985 for Live Aid 35th anniversary.

David Bowie- Earthling

David Bowie chalked up the enthusiastic reception to “Earthling”, a #6 seller in the UK, to his chemistry with his live band. Bowie went on to share a delightful, enthusiastic conversation about Bowie’s twenty-first (!!!) album, “Earthling”, a worldwide million seller for the former “Starchild” and Man Who Fell to Earth.

HEART- Heart (‘85)- Nancy Wilson, Ann Wilson

Two of my all-time faves remain the cinderella story beginnings of Heart in 1976 with “Dreamboat Annie”  and the “comeback” album almost a decade later, “Heart”. This hit machine in 1985  reinvented Heart for the MTV Eighties with “If Looks Could Kill”,”What About Love”,”Never”,”These Dreams”, and “Nothing at All”. Wow. Nancy Wilson and singing sistuh Ann Wilson join me here In the Studio.

Dire Straits- Brothers in Arms- Mark Knopfler

Few albums from the Eighties have been so popular or aged as well as “Brothers in Arms”, the fifth studio album from London’s Dire Straits. Released in May 1985, Brothers in Arms contained the songs of Mark Knopfler performed expertly and produced impeccably, which proved irresistible to an international buying audience estimated at over thirty million. Dire Straits bandleader Mark Knopfler tries to explain the phenomenon of “Brothers in Arms”  and modern super-celebrity here In the Studio in this classic rock interview. “I recommend success to anybody. I can’t think of anything good about fame. If you can, let me know.”

Doobie Brothers- What Were Once Vices…/Stampede- Tom Johnston, Pat Simmons

The surprise success from “Black Water” afforded the Doobie Brothers some creative license on their next album, “Stampede”, released in April 1975. But as you will hear from Patrick Simmons, Tom Johnston, and the late Doobie drummer Mike Hossack, the non-stop grind of five years of one-nighters, stopping only long enough to record the next album, was starting to create stress fractures in the foundation of the band which  would sideline Tom Johnston with a bleeding ulcer and, ultimately, alter the sound of the Doobie Brothers for the next decade.
