The Hair Metal Guru

Here's the next in the series of overlooked or controversial albums we've discussed--so far we've talked the '94 album from Motley Crue, Def Leppard's Adrenalize, and Winger's Pull. This time we took on Crack a Smile from Poison... is it a forgotten gem or forgotten for a reason? Please Subscribe!! Thank you!!Feel free to donate (or NOT!) to my PayPal: anthony.a.bryant@hotm...

Anthony Corder of Tora Tora is one of the nice guys in rock'n'roll and it was an honor to have him on the show to talk about the history of Tora Tora and what he's been doing in and out of music. I hope you enjoy this conversation. Tora Tora on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/ToraToraBandTora Tora website:https://www.toratoramusic.com/Buy the Tora Tora Best of the Rest CD:https://www...

Cassidy Paris grew up on the same rock'n'roll that fans of this channel love... and she's channeling that into her own style. We talked about how she got her start, the shows that got canceled last year, how she came to work with Steve Brown from Trixter & Paul Laine from Danger Danger, whether or not she feels pressure to sexualize her performance, her upcoming album Bittersweet,...

Rest easy, Dad.

Rob Wylde is a Hair Metal lifer. From his time with Tigertailz to releasing his 5th album in 8 years (Bite the Bullet, November 21st) with Midnite City, Rob's goal is to sound "more '80s than the '80s." And that's a sentiment I can absolutely get behind. I hope you enjoy this conversation. The Midnite City Website:https://midnitecity.com/Midnite City on Facebook:https://w...

Mickey Finn went from being a punk rock kid to an intravenous drug user to a rockstar with the band Jetboy. He's seen more highs and lows and death and destruction than any normal human being, and somehow found his way to the other side to keep making music and become a father and husband. He truly has an amazing story, and I hope you enjoy this conversation. The Jetboy Website:https://www.jet...

Time for the next in the series of albums we reflect on and analyze--after doing Motley Crue's '94 and Winger's Pull, we sat down to discuss Def Leppard's Adrenalize. Is it a fantastic rock record, or a desperate attempt to recreate Hysteria? Join The Guru, Patrick, Jones, Ryan, and Nate as we discuss! Please Subscribe!!

Robert Sarzo and his brother, Rudy, escaped the communism of Cuba to find the American dream. Robert went on to play with D.L. Byron before having the Ozzy Osbourne gig pulled from him after Randy Rhoads died. He ended up finding success with the band Hurricane, and is still out there playing music... I hope you enjoy this conversation. Robert on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/robertsarzosrRobe...

Paul Lidel was kind enough to come on the show to talk about his time with Dirty Looks, Dangerous Toys, and the brand new album Are You Ready from Paul Lidel's Scream Therapy. We also talked about his relationship with Dirty Looks singer Henrik Ostergaard, who tragically passed away in 2011, and almost all of his other projects. I hope you enjoy this conversation. Paul Lidel's Scream Thera...

Zinny Zan came to my attention on the debut Shotgun Messiah album, which I LOVE. And then in 2005 I found the Zan Clan album produced by Chris Laney, and Zinny Zan was back for me. Well, he's back AGAIN, reunited with former Shotgun Messiah guitarist Harry Cody, and in this interview he opened up about all of that, his time with Easy Action and Poison stealing their song "We Go Rocking,&q...

This is the 2nd in a series of controversial albums we will be analyzing... after Motley Crue's 1994 album, it was finally time to talk about Winger's Pull from 1993. So, is it a rock masterpiece that got hurt by Beavis & Butthead and Metallica, or just another band going grunge? A We discuss it all! Please Subscribe!!

RIP, Ace.

Stevie Rachelle has been a driving force in this music scene that we love so much since he booked a one way trip to Los Angeles in 1987... whether it was his time in Tuff or through his website, Metal Sludge. In this almost 4-hour interview, we talked about his entire career, including the mysterious death of his brother, the death of Jani Lane, his time managing Vains of Jenna, and what the futur...

This is one of those albums that has been begging to be discussed since I started this channel. When Motley Crue fired Vince Neil (or he quit, depending on who you believe), and they hired John Corabi from The Scream to become the new vocalist, we all waited anxiously for the resulting album. It came out March 15th, 1994, and to say opinions vary would be the most drastic understatement in Hair Me...

Sometimes the right song just makes a good movie great, and that's why I got together with Patrick and Ryan to talk about our favorite soundtrack songs of all time... regardless of genre!

I have to tell you... this is probably the hardest I've ever laughed in an interview. And not only was Mark Gus Scott funny... he was also insightful about the history of Trixter, where it went right, and where it went wrong. You'll also hear him talk about his new business venture, the patriotic American Premium Vodka, which donates to support Veterans. I hope you enjoy this conversation....

RIP, Ace. Thanks for being so nice to me.

Jeff Scott Soto has had a remarkable 40 year career in music, and it's about time someone did a full, career-spanning interview... so here it is... all of it: Yngwie, Talisman, Eyes, Axel Rudi Pell, Soul SirkUS, Journey, Sons of Apollo, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, W.E.T., Ellefson-Soto... and everything in between. I hope you enjoy this conversation, and please check out Jeff's work after yo...

Ian Haugland got the gig as Europe's drummer in 1984, and in his over 40 years with the band he's seen the highest of highs and the lowest of lows... but Europe Is still alive and kicking, and getting ready to release a new album AND a documentary in 2026. Ian came on to talk about it all, and, let me just say this... he was one of the nicest guys I've had the pleasure to chat with. I...
