In this episode you’ll find out what the band Toto, the hit song “Rosanna,” and a hot tub all have in common, what bands really go through to come up with the perfect name, the story behind Brian’s so called “little” audition at the Super Bowl for living legend, Paul McCartney’s, band and the breaking points that lead both he and Steve Lukather to sobriety.

Brian’s take on Toto, Naming Bands and his Paul McCartney Audition at the Super Bowl

The Aftershow - Brian’s take on Toto, Naming Bands and his Paul McCartney Audition at the Super Bowl

We cover a lot of topics in this last Aftershow of Season One — we revisit the premise for the show, the role of the Sideman vs Frontman, the massive success that Spike and others have had as Sidemen — and why Brian chose the path he did. We talk about why its okay to “fake it till you make it” in the music business and what you do when a vital instrument like the keyboard goes out during a show. We also chat about the FORCE that was Freddy Mercury and the longevity of his music, now being sung famously by Adam Lambert. Finally, we hit the downside of fame when it comes to papparazzi and press, what really happens in that lag between sound check and show time… And we give you a behind the scenes peak into the making of this show with a clip from the cutting room floor from Spike’s interview.

The Aftershow — Brian’s take on: Spike Edney, Freddie Mercury and the Downside to Fame

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/18c95d72-7ad2-4456-b838-ae3101631de6/transcript

Today we meet up Spike Edney, keyboardist for the band Queen for 37 years. We touch his early days with the BoomTown Rats and Duran Duran and we hit everything you want to know about Queen: Spike’s crazy audition, “or lack thereof”… the heyday with Freddy Mercury and what the band really did at After Parties, which will definitelysurprise you. We get a peak into the private life of Freddy and the evolution of Queen since his passing with Paul Rogers and now Adam Lambert. We wrap Spike’s best “NO” story — not from an audition, but from Fidel Castro and the most hysterical On Tour travel story ever; you’ll get to hear how: a war, chickens, black market gas and sleeping in barns somehow fit together.

In previous Aftershows we dabbled in how sex, drugs and rock n roll all go hand and hand but in this episode we tackle it head on… From Matt’s coke running days, to the fairly hedonistic parties, to people going missing on tours, to the stories of those who survived addiction and to those who sadly did not, like Velvet Revolver and Stone Temple Pilots front man, Scott Weiland …. in contrast we cover a lot of hysterical moments in Matt’s interview, including the remarkable partying ability and work ethic of Slash and Keith Richards and examine if there is any red underwear left in the world after Matt Sorum fulfilled his show day superstition.
