Hot Rock Podcast- Lost 80s Music with THE SGB
Sunday Dec 27, 2020
Sunday Dec 27, 2020
In the 80s I was on the air in San Francisco, playing some of the best rock ever created on radio and on TV when MTV and other network music video shows like mine were cranking out all the latest rock videos. Meantime, my own band was in the studio in the 80s, writing and recording songs for an album called 1985. Although we had interest from Atlantic records, we were one of a ton of bands that had great promise but would not get our big break. So, the album sat in my vault for over 3 decades, the master tapes lost. This year, with encouragement from producer Saul Vigil and some spare time thanks to the pandemic, we finally found the master tapes! We had them digitally remastered and several are now getting a lot of airplay on streaming channels, most of all FAMOUSHITS LIVE. On this podcast, I play back a few of those lost tracks, and play a brand new song from my band recorded in 2019-2020 called "Supernatural Love" all about the times we are living in today. I think being a musician has made me a better interviewer, because I have lived a life playing music, and have a real bond with the guys in each band. Enjoy- some of these are now available on Amazon digital music and iTunes!- Steve

Hot Rock Tribute to Eddie Van Halen

Eddie Van Halen was and always will be one of the most influential guitarists in rock and roll. His hammering technique on guitar solos re-wrote the book on what rock guitar sounds like. I interviewed Eddie in the 80s, and his band mates over the years - when he passed away at 65 we put together this tribute show.

Hot Rock Holiday Podcast with Eric Martin of Mr. Big
Saturday Dec 26, 2020
Saturday Dec 26, 2020
Eric Martin and I go back to the early 80s, when he was with The Eric Martin Band. Eric was a guest several times on my San Francisco radio show at the time, and was a frequent guest on my TV series in 1984. His is one of the best singers in my opinion in all of rock n roll- and with Mr. Big he continued to prove it with a series of incredible albums and tours over the years. In this special holiday edition of the Podcast, Eric talks about his life, his career, and tells some great rock n roll stories. He also plays back some of his personal favorite tracks, including a couple of Christmas songs off his Mr. Vocalist Christmas album- from a series of albums in Japan that have made him a huge pop star there.
