On this show I interview James "Tappy" Wright, author of ROCK ROADIE. Tappy Wright was road manager for The Animals, Jimi Hendrix, Tina Turner, Herman's Hermits, Sting and many other legendary artists. This book arrived in my mailbox several months ago and since I'm not a huge fan of any of these artists (with the exception of The Animals) it stayed on my shelf for a while. When I finally got around to reading it I was really glad I did. There is story after story after story about life on the road and all that comes with it. Having sex with groupies, band fighting, partying, it's all there and Tappy holds nothing back. One of the big selling points in the book is what he claims is proof positive that Jimi Hendrix was murdered. He goes into great detail about how it happened. On the show you will hear that and quite a few other great stories from the book. If you are a student of rock history like I am, then I think you are going to like this interview(and the book).

This show really has nothing to do with the swine flu or Marilyn Manson but caller Chauna, the 16 year old rock and roll geek said it on her call and I thought it would make a good title for this episode. What this episode really is about are my top 5 albums of 2009. A lot of albums were released this year by a lot of bands I really like so it was a good year in that respect but most of those albums were not great in my opinion. A lot were good but not great. On this show I play songs from each of my favorite albums this year. I'm not going to give them away on these show notes but if you like what you heard and want to buy them, please click on the Amazon banner at the top of this site so I get a little kickback.

This is a midweek bonus episode of the Rock and Roll Geek Show. As you probably know by now, I was in London, England a couple of weeks ago for the Ginger birthday bash thanks to Alex from Bathroom Wall and Phil from the Paranoid Squirrel podcast and while I was there, I wandered around the streets of London by myself with a microphone strapped to me. This is what took place while the mic was on. It is what I call 'Walking With Butler Through The Streets of London"

On this show I do a  recap of my trip to London, England to play bass for Ginger's Birthday Bash at the Garage on December 17th, 2009. I also throw in some music by some of the guests that played at the concert as well. Music from   The Wildhearts Honeycrack The Loyalties Eureka Machines  

On this show I play a ton of audio comments including a Megadeth Show review, an on the scene of the Joe Perry Project show with roving reporter Jamie from Orlando and a Kiss Show review. I do a douchebag of the week segment and a new Paul Stanley Rap of the week. All that and the usual train wreck bullshit from yours truly. Next stop London England my friends!

Richie Ranno from Starz comes on the show and we take an in-depth look at their 1978 album Attention Shoppers!/n We go track by track and find out all of the behind the scenes dirt on each song. Richie holds nothing back. If you don/'t have this album in your record collection, you need to go get it today. Along with all of the Starz records. Each one is a classic. /n/n /n/n  Review from Allmusic.com: Arguably, pop-metal is a form of power pop, or, at the very least, the two have some things in common. Like the Raspberries, the Go-Go/'s, or Blondie, a pop-metal act will typically blend rockin/', guitar-powered aggression with pop sensibilities. Cheap Trick and Sweet,/nin fact, are perfect examples of bands that are relevant to both/npop-metal and power pop. So it seemed logical when Starz provided a big/ndose of outright power pop on its third album, Attention Shoppers!./nThe band didn/'t eliminate the pop-metal factor on this 1978 LP; /"X-Ray/nSpex/" and /"Good Ale We Seek,/" for example, are the type of pop-minded/nhard rock items that one expected from Starz. But tunes like /"I/'ll Be/nThere,/" /"She/" (not to be confused with the Kiss favorite), and /"Hold on to the Night/" are power pop ditties that wouldn/'t have been out of place at a Raspberries session; this isn/'t to say that Attention Shoppers! is in a class with the Raspberries/'/nbest work. Starz/'s third album isn/'t a masterpiece, but it/'s competent/nand enjoyable. Further, Starz deserves credit for trying something/ndifferent and not turning this LP into a carbon copy of Starz or Violation.  Please Support My Sponsors/nFinish Line Athletic Wear 15% off any order $60 or more/n GoDaddy Coupons - Great savings on domains./n Budget rental Coupons - Car rental discounts/n Eastbay Coupons - 15% - 20% off/n Footlocker Coupons - 15% off any order/n eMusic free trial - 2 weeks, 35 free songs!/n Zazzle /n - Custom Clothing, Skateboards and MORE!/n Angie/'s List/' /n - 25% OFF/n Match.com /n - 25% OFF Find your match or just get laid/n/n/n/n/n/n/n/n/n/n/n/n/n/n/n/n

Through this process, original members Mickey Finn, Billy Rowe and Fernie Rod, in conjunction with management, made difficult decisions regarding Jetboy’s direction and ability to perform at a consistently professional level. Difficult decisions were made that resulted in Doug Hovan’s voluntary departure and Michael Butler’s much-publicized on-air dismissal during the recent ‘Good Clean Fun’ podcast . “Jetboy wishes to assure fans that while the podcast may have presented the split in a light that was less that friendly, the parties have since worked out their differences and the split was best for all involved. In addition, Billy Rowe will continue to perform with THE BUTLERS and Michael Butler, further displaying that the parties continue to have a positive working and personal relationship. “Jetboy wishes nothing but the best and future success to both Doug and Michael, and want to assure fans that the core of Jetboy remains the same, and that the music that has been embraced by their fan base will not change. “Jetboy is currently in the midst of negotiations for distribution of the new EP and will announce further details about the release as soon as they become available.” A rock documentary film on Jetboy is in the preliminary stages of being shot by Reality Check TV, which also produced the “mini-doc” included in Jetboy’s last CD/DVD release, “The Glam Years”, on Cleopatra/Deadline Records. “The Glam Years” contained a DVD of a 1986 concert at Los Angeles’ legendary Whisky a Go-Go (featuring a chock-full of extra interviews and photos) as well as a 21-track CD of the group’s greatest hits.

On this show I mourn the news about Steven Tyler supposedly quitting Aerosmith, something I predicted would happen during the recent tour. And to mourn this, I play some of my favorite Aerosmith tunes. According to The Las Vegas Sun: Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry said today that singer Steven Tyler quit the band following a recent concert in Abu Dhabi. Bassist Tom Hamilton told the Boston Herald’s Inside Track that there is dissension among the “Bad Boys From Boston,” but that he hopes things can be worked out. He dismissed a report that guitarist Brad Whitford discussed the possiblity of Aerosmith finding a new frontman. However, Perry told the Las Vegas Sun today that he believes Tyler is history. “Steven quit as far as I can tell,” Perry said from his Boston home. “I don’t know anymore than you do about it. I got off the plane two nights ago. I saw online that Steven said that he was going to leave the band. I don’t know for how long, indefinitely or whatever. Other than that, I don’t know.” Part of the problem, he says, is that Tyler doesn’t return his phone calls. “He’s notorious for that,” Perry said. “That’s one thing I’ve learned to live with. I try to overlook it. I like to pick my battles. Frankly, the last few months I’ve been wanting not to rock the boat. I don’t want him canceling any more gigs. We really wanted to do these last four. We just kind of didn’t want to call him out or anything and get him anymore pissed off, for whatever reason. So we just let things lie. So we did the gigs and, like I said, I got off the plane and saw this online. That’s how I know about it.” Perry will perform his Joe Perry Project Nov. 28 at the Las Vegas House of Blues, performing from his latest release “Have Guitar, Will Travel.” Most of Aerosmith’s recent world tour was canceled in August after Tyler fell from the stage at a Sturgis, S.D., concert and broke his shoulder. The band members were unhappy with Tyler over the incident. However, Aerosmith salvaged the final leg of the tour, including two shows in Hawaii and one Sunday at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix before more than 50,000 fans. After the Middle Eastern concert the band parted ways with Perry going to London to attend the Classic Rock & Roll of Honour awards ceremony on Monday. Perry said he arrived home in Boston on Wednesday and read on the Internet that Tyler planned to leave the band. “He has had no contact with me or the other band members,” Perry said. He says he hopes to keep Aerosmith together, with or without Tyler, but he was so stunned by recent developments he doesn’t know what’s going to happen. “Right now I’m adjusting to how we’re going to go on,” Perry says. “Aerosmith is such a powerful band, I mean it’s like a steam locomotive. You just can’t disregard 40 years of four guys who play together as well as they do. We’re just trying to – at least I am – trying to figure out what direction the band should take. “As far as replacing Steve, it’s not just about that, it’s also four guys that play extremely well together, and I’m not going to see that go to waste. I really don’t know what path it’s going to take at this point, but we’ll probably find somebody else that will sing in those spots where we need a singer and then we’ll be able to move the Aerosmith up a notch, move the vibe up a notch.” Perry believes Tyler has been planning on leaving for a while. “Obviously he hasn’t been giving 100 percent to this thing for a long time,” Perry said. “He’s obviously had this planned for a long time. To disregard his brothers to the point where we have to find out about it on the Internet – it’s like, /'See you later, Bud.’ I still care for him as a person, or at least the person I used to know. But things change.” Aerosmith rose to popularity in the ’70s with a combination of hard rock and power ballads only to be derailed by drug and alcohol abuse. After Tyler completed rehab in 1986, the band rose to prominence again. There were rumors last year that Tyler had checked back into rehab after more than 20 years of sobriety. Perry himself left the band for two years in 1979. While he was away he created the solo Joe Perry Project, which has now released five albums. “The circumstances were different then,” Perry said. “We’d been touring pretty much nonstop for eight years and the band was just pretty much burned out on each other. We needed a break. We needed to take a vacation but blood was running so hot I just had to leave, had to get out of there. But I certainly wasn’t going to stop playing so I put out a solo project.”

On this show I do another Classic Albums Revisited segment. This one is a great album from UFO called No Place To Run. I also give an update on the Throw Michael on a Plane fund, play show reviews from the Doobie Brothers, Green Day and ZZ Top/Steel Panther.   Music by: Ace Frehley - Amazon UFO - Amazon Slayer - Amazon  All Music Guide Review of No Place To Run: The first studio recording after the departure of guitarist Michael Schenker, No Place to Run/nset into motion UFO/'s critical and commercial decline. While only a/nslight adjustment to the band/'s successful hard rock formula, the/nmidtempo guitar rock bore much more of a resemblance to fading /'70s/nrockers like Bad Company than the coming NWOBHM. Fellow Brits like Def Leppard were cultivating a similar but much more exciting brand of simple, angular hard rock built for the millions of AC/DC-loving Americans, while UFO seemed to be chasing their stylistic tail. Louder and way more energetic, Def Leppard were poised to overtake the rock universe while UFO languished on No Place to Run. Tracks like /"This Fire Burns Tonight/" call to mind Jackson Brown-styled adult rock; meanwhile, any audience UFO might have built up over the harder-edged Schenker years was fleeing to acts like the Scorpions and Judas Priest, who were only getting heavier. To call No Place to Run/na middle-of-the-road miscalculation would be generous. The disc had/nalready aged badly when it was released and that hasn/'t changed in the/ndecades since.
