Singer, songwriter, actor, television and radio presenter, author, podcaster, husband, father and dog owner Brian Mannix has lots to talk about and now he has the podcast to do it. To make it even better he is bringing his mates for a chat. Unpredictable, uncalled for, unprintable and unprecedented (everyone is using it) it is Brian both barrels blazing. Proudly (so far anyway) sponsored by Murcotts driving excellence.

It's fan boy time as Brian gets all 12 year old when he meets Andy Scott of Sweet and Kev is a massive Guess Who fan, so chatting to Burton Cummings is a major coup. 

Sweet are about to tour Australia and Andy Scott - the last remaining member of the line up that brought us Ballroom Blitz, Fox on the Run and Love is Like Oxygen - is up for a chat about the good old days and the tour. 

The Guess Who put Canadian rock music on the map with monster hits like American Woman, Undun, No Time and Albert Flasher. Burton Cummings was the lead singer and what a voice he has. The songs he wrote and co wrote have stood the test of time. 

Classic rock stars with equally classic stories - it is another top shelf episode.

Ya Ready Kev? Andy? Burton?  All right substitutes ... Let's Go!! (names have been changed to protect us from getting sued)

Tommy James has the songs and the stats to claim the title of Superstar. Starting with Hanky Panky in 1966, the hits rolled out - I Think We're Alone Now, Gettin' Together, Mony Mony, Crimson and Clover, Crystal Blue Persuasion and Draggin' the Line to name only a few. Then there were the successful cover versions by Billy Idol, Tiffany and Joan Jett. 

And the stats - 23 Gold Records, 9 Platinum Albums, over 100 Million Records Sold Worldwide and 32 Billboard Hot 100 Chart Hits! 

The Tommy James story is amazing. Signing with a mob run record label provided an interesting start, knocking back Woodstock and rejecting songs from George Harrison adds to this incredible tale. 

Plus in this episode Brian unveils the newest Uncanny X Men song It's a Shame.

It's not and it isn't new either, but a reworking of a track from 1982's SaliveOne.
