You won't meet many people more genuinely passionate about music than my pal and friend of the show Bob Mayo. He joins me from Massachusetts this week with a new batch of songs that make his skin vibrate, and as always, he enlightens me on a few things.
Bob can always be counted on to bring in fascinatingly obscure tracks, because he's a believer in us discovering music we may have never heard of. He also brings in a few of my favourites. On both fronts, the conversation is great - we chat about who REALLY plays lead guitar on the early Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, and KISS records, the most controversial Scorpions album covers, the hard rock band Billy Joel played in, Black Sabbath's creative challenges, the Golden Earring we didn't know, spaceships getting swallowed up by black holes, what the greatest rock song of all time really is, and so much more. I love talking to this guy.
Mayo's playlist:
Golden Earring – She Flies on Strange Wings
Aerosmith – Combination
Rush – Cygnus X-1
Motorhead – Orgasmatron
Montrose – Space Station #5
Ursa Major – Sinner
Scorpions – We’ll Burn The Sky
