  • Ep. 53 - Pete Best (The Beatles)
    Aug 11 2024
    On this episode of The It's Only Rock And Roll Podcast, we speak with drummer Pete Best, one of only 3 living men who can rightfully claim the designation “former-Beatle”. We discuss his two year role in the band's development, which took them from teenaged amateur rockers, to road-hardened seasoned musicians – culminating with the band' signing with EMI Records, and his infamous firing from the group literally on the eve of their worldwide success. Pete also recounts The Casbah, the teenage live music club his mother started out of the basement of their family home which gave The Beatles their start. ------------------------------ ֎ Official Pete Best Site - https://www.petebest.com/ ֎ To book The Casbah Coffee Club Suites (Air BnB) - https://bit.ly/4dFmEqy Visit the 'It's Only Rock And Roll PODCAST' online at: ● Homepage – http://www.ItsOnlyRockAndRollPodcast.com ● Facebook – https://facebook.com/ItsOnlyRockAndRollPodcast/ ● YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/ItsOnlyRockAndRollPODCAST ● Instagram - @itsonlyrockandrollpodcast © 2024 Howlaround Productions.

  • Ep. 52 - Lou Gramm (formerly of FOREIGNER)
    Feb 18 2024
    On this episode of The It's Only Rock And Roll Podcast, we feature a wide-ranging, cathartic interview with LOU GRAMM, the former lead singer and principal co-songwriter for 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominees Foreigner. Topics covered include his early life growing up in Rochester, a parent-defying trek to a 1965 Rolling Stones concert, the lean years with his first band Black Sheep (including losing the supporting slot for the '75 Kiss tour), shooting pool with John Lennon, and an often-tumultuous relationship between himself and founding member of Foreigner, Mick Jones. He additionally gives an honest assessment of Foreigner's new singer, as well as life after surviving brain surgery. ------------------------------ ֎ Official Lou Gramm Online - https://www.lougrammofficial.com/ ֎ Order Lou's autobiography “Juke Box Hero: My Five Decades in Rock 'N' Roll” - https://a.co/d/9mlOcZD/ Visit the 'It's Only Rock And Roll PODCAST' online at: ● Homepage – http://www.ItsOnlyRockAndRollPodcast.com ● Facebook – https://facebook.com/ItsOnlyRockAndRollPodcast/ ● YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/ItsOnlyRockAndRollPODCAST ● Instagram - @itsonlyrockandrollpodcast © 2024 Howlaround Productions.
