  • Stop the 1 minute previews

    Dean, love the podcast generally, but please stop with the 1 to 2 minute “Patreon” previews. If u wanna preview the stuff behind pay wall just put a full episode up once every couple months. The 1 minute uploads come off insulting and make us not wanna pay for extra content.

Ep 873 : Brad Gillis guitarist of Night Ranger
Q: Last question, are you a comedy guy or do you go to stand-up much?

Ep 873 : Brad Gillis guitarist of Night Ranger
Q: How did you approach tone when you were with Ozzy, given Randy Rhoads's distinctive sound?

Ep 873 : Brad Gillis guitarist of Night Ranger
Q: Pre-62 Strat, what were you playing before that?
Brad explains he used a 1971 Blacklist Falls Custom with a trade from a 1957 Strat, detailing the upgrades and the motivation to pursue a Floyd Rose tremolo for better tuning stability.
Ep 871 : Comedy Gives Back With Co-Founders Zoe Friedman and Amber J. Lawson.
Q: What is Comedy Gives Back and why was it formed?
It was created to be the safety net for comedians, filling gaps left by existing charity groups and addressing the unique financial and health challenges faced by performers, especially highlighted during the pandemic.

Q: Once you get out to LA and you join LA Guns, was it like showcasing, or were you playing clubs and they came to rehearsals?
There was a lot of interest in the band, with Tracii having demos and a development deal; eventually, Phil was suggested by the manager Alan Jones, leading to the joining of LA Guns at the right time and place.
