Talkin‘ the Talk With Don
Since 2009, I have interviewed some of my favorite artists. I cover a lot of genres because, well, I love all kinds of music. From Classic Rock to Black Metal and all else in between, if I love an artist, I want to talk to them! I try to set a relaxed, ”living room” type of vibe and have a conversation and talk about anything.

On March 29th and 30th, Brad Lee Entertainment presents the first of what I can only hope will an annual Rocklanta Festival. Rocklanta will feature such glam, hard rock, and sleaze bands such as XYZ, Lillian Axe, Dangerous Toys, Warrant, and Tora Tora just to name a few. I’ve had the pleasure of speaking with […]

Since his departure from Priest, Ripper’s powerful vocals can be heard on albums by Charred Walls of the Damned, Iced […]

That night, the band that was their direct support was band out of Canada that I was only familiar with by name: Slik Toxik For 45 minutes, Slik Toxik annihilated that room and pretty much had Faster Pussycat looking like […]

30 years ago I was an awkward teenager starting at a new school sporting a Warrant t-shirt and snakeskin boots. I saw them blow Motley Crue off the stage in 1990, I saw them kill Poison in 1990, and even saw them do a really great shed show as headliners. Eventually with a change in […]

It’s hard to believe that it was nearly 30 years ago when I first heard Dangerous Toys. Dangerous Toys had a few MTV Headbangers Ball hits with songs like “Teasn Pleasn”, “Scared”, and “Gimme No Lip” just to name a few.
