    Long time no Speak! I have TONS of archives finally coming back! Stay Tuned: 10142026 TTTO W/ TROY PATRICK FARRELL: GUEST STEVE SPRITE (ADLER TOUR MANAGER) JOINS ME LIVE STEVE SPRITE: SPRITE JAM TO BENEFIT BLOOD CANCER AWARENESS

    05212025 TTTO EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH TAIME DOWNE OF FASTER PUSSYCAT May 23, 2025
    Show notes

    On Tues 05/20/2025, I reached out to friend and alumni guest TAIME DOWNE Of Faster Pussycat to see if he wanted to come on and discuss the new tour starting 05/30 in Las Vegas at Count's Vamp'd (who incidentally is in the last month of existence after 16 years) with VAIN, which is subsequently SOLD OUT.


    Back in March, Taime suffered a terrible tragedy in the loss of his fiancé and understandably has been quiet minus an appearance at the Rainbow Bar and Grill Spring Party with Faster Pussycat.
    In Early MAY, Faster Pussycat announced a US Tour w/ the Supersuckers as well as dropped a new single called "MOTORBIKE".
    I reached out to him again during the Live Show "This That and the Other" and he was game and committed to calling me in hour #2 of the show. This would be his first interview in many months.
    We spoke about the Tour, The New Single, working around the very busy schedule of guitarist "Sam "Bam" Koltun" and what he was doing to mentally prepare for this tour as this one would be very different than past tours.
    While we didn't get into the details of what happened on the 80's Cruise, you can use google for that if you'd like. Taime was fully exonerated and is now picking up the pieces and finding ways to mentally and emotionally prepare for this next tour that will take them into July 2025.
    He touches on what he's doing and on how his support system of his band and friends have been helpful in moving forward.
    The main goal was to see if he was "OK" and to let him let his fans and friends know he is going to be.
    If you see them on the road, show him and the guys some love and support.
    You can find more on the Tour, the new single "Motorbike" and much more at www.fasterpussycat.com

    03132024 TTTO EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH COURT CAM'S / YOUTUBE ROCK STAR JUDGE JEFFREY MIDDLETON Mar 16, 2024
    Show notes

    AFTER 2.5 YEARS OF REQUESTING HIS HONORABLE PRESENCE- Judge J Middleton agreed to come on my show. When the pandemic hit, many courts went to "Zoom' style hearings and Judge Middleton secured a channel and his town/court system secured "Zoom Licenses" not in anticipation for the shutdown, but ready to go, nonetheless. After some great (or terrible) viral cases, Middleton became a Rock Star Judge. My thoughts are he was/is Fair and Firm. The guy you respect but don't want to be in front of. His court cases have been seen by A&E Court Cam and many other shows due to the sporadic events that can and will happen during a court case. I fell in love with him and his laid-back demeanor, his classic rock vibe as he sang songs while he launched his stream. This is the first of NONE- with respect to interviews and I feel we hit some very common questions and answers that perhaps we're all thinking during many of these cases. We also hit on Sov Cits and much more.


    Enjoy this exclusive interview with the almighty Judge Jeffery C Middleton

    Show notes

    THIS THAT AND THE OTHER RADIO SHOW W/
    TROY PATRICK FARRELL
    www.DirtyRadio.FM Channel #DirtyRadioClassics
    LIVE AIRDATE: 05/24/2023 WEDNESDAY
    GUEST: MARCUS NAND
    (GUITARIST OF MIKE TRAMP’S “SONGS OF WHITE LION” ALBUM/SPRING TOUR”)

    NOTABLE COMMENTS & TIME STAMPS:
    00:00 – 05:30 SHOW INTRO, TINA TURNER RIP, + WITH GUEST BACKGROUND
    05:30 - 08:00 AUDIO SAMPLE OF COMPARING WHITE LION’S “WAIT” GUITAR SOLO BY VITO BRATTA AND THE RE-RECORD BY MARCUS NAND ON “SONGS OF WHITE LION”
    10:45 MARCUS NAND JOINS THE SHOW
    11:30 WE DISCUSS HOW THE TOUR WAS AN ACOUSTIC TOUR AND NOT A “FULL BAND” SOUND DUO TOUR
    12:35 MARCUS DISCUSSES WHY A FULL BAND WAS NOT POSSIBLE THIS RUN
    HOWEVER, WHILE IT’S A “FULL BAND FEEL” YET STILL INCLUDES THE STORIES.
    WE WEREN’T IN A POSITION TO TAKE A RHYTHM SECTION AT THIS TIME, (BUT THE TRACKS) ALLOW US TO HAVE MORE OF A FULL BAND FEEL”
    14:45 NAND SPEAKS ABOUT HIS HISTORY AS A FLEMENCO GUITARIST PLAYING WITH THE LIKES OF STEVE STEVENS, ETC AND HOW HE MORPHED HIS style AND EXPERIENCE into that of a vito bratto STYLE AND PAY TRIBUTE TO THE SOLOS.
    ‘YOU SORT OF HAVE TO PUT YOURSELF IN THE FRAME OF MIND OF SERVING THE MUSIC. IT'S SORT OF SACRED GROUND, VITO BRATTA IS A VERY, VERY HIGHLY RESPECTED GUITAR PLAYER, WHAT HE (BRATTA) DID AT THAT TIME WITH THOSE SONGS, AND AS A SONGWRITER, THERE WAS NO REASON FOR ME TO TRY DO ANYTHING DIFFERENT”

    THE keys are different, the tempos are different.
    WE TRIED TO STAY TRUE, I TRIED TO STAY TRUE TO THE SONGS, I COMPARE IT RECITING TO A CLASSIC POEM, YOU CAN HAVE A DIFFERENT NARRATOR (VOICE) BUT THE WORDS HAVE TO BE THE WORDS. THAT WAS THE INTENTION THAT WAS CREATED IN THE FIRST PLACE.

    I TRY TO BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN WAS THEN AND WHAT (IS) NOW, IT WAS ON ME TO FIND WAYS THESE SONGS WOULD EXIST IN THESE NEW KEYS (ABOUT A FOURTH DOWN)

    MIKE’S VOICE HAS MATURED OVER THE YEARS.

    17:20 WE DISCUSS THE “WAIT” SOLO AND HOW IMPORTANT AS THE SOLO WAS AS WELL AS THE PERFORMANCE BY MARCUS NAND LIVE.


    18:30 MARCUS DISCUSSES HIS APPROACH TO PERFORMING THE “WAIT” SOLO
    HE ALSO NOTES: “IT’S NERVE RACKING” “I THINK PEOPLE APPLAUD BECAUSE IT’S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE THEY’VE HEARD THAT LIVE”
    PLUS “THE LYRICS AND STYLE (OF THE SONGS) HAS “HIT THEM IN THE HEART”

    21:00 WE ASK THE QUESTION IF VITO BRATTA HAS HEARD THE ALBUM AND HAS MARCUS HAD ANY CONNECTION WITH VITO BRATTA AND WOULD THERE BE ANY PUSH BACK (LIKE IN THE PAST) FOR DOING A “SONGS OF WHITE LION”

    WE DISCUSS SOME OF THE TENSION WITH VITO AND MIKE W/ PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF WHITE LION.

    21:40 WE ARE IN TOUCH, AND IT’S PRETTY ASTONISHING TO ME, FIRST AND FOREMOST, I’M A MASSIVE MASSIVE FAN, I HAVE SO MUCH RESPECT FOR WHAT HE DID & HIS CONTRIBUTION TO GUITAR IS JUST PHENOMENAL.

    HE’S VERY VERY SUPPORTIVE;
    HE LIKES WHAT WE’RE DOING, I WAS VERY NERVOUS ABOUT THAT INITIALLY, HE WROTE AN EMAIL TO TRAMP, TRAMP PUT US INTO CONTACT AND WE’VE BEEN COMMUNICATING THE LAST FEW WEEKS AND DEVOLOPING A VERY COOL FRIENDSHIP.

    IT’S PRETTY SURREAL TO COME HOME FROM A SHOW AND WRITE TO VITO AND “YOUR NAME WAS MENTIONED SO MANY TIMES, AND ITS EVIDENT HOW MUCH PEOPLE LOVE YOU AND ADMIRE YOU”, SO IT’S NOTHING BUT SUPPORT FROM VITO, IT’S REALLY GREAT.

    IT’S SURREAL IN A WAY.
    23:30 WE DISCUSS IF HIS FLEMENCO BACKGROUND HELPS HIS APPROACH TO THE VITO BRATTA SOLOS (TWO HANDED APPROACH), DOES THAT GIVE MARCUS AND ADVANTAGE?
    “THAT’S A REALLY INTERESTING POINT, YOU MIGHT BE ONTO SOMETHING THERE! IT’S NOT JUST A PIC IN YOUR HAND, THE FINGERS ARE SORT OF INDEPENDENT THINGS”.
    27:00 WE CLARIFY HIS PARTICIPATION WITH “RATT”
    28:00 WE DIVE INTO MARCUS’ HISTORY WITH MANY ARTISTS
    RICKY PHILLIPS (STYX), FERGIE FREDERICKSEN (TOTO) AND MORE
    30:30 WE DISCUSS MARCUS’ CONTRIBUTION TO A ROD STEWART SONG ON THE ALBUM “ANOTHER COUNTRY” AND NOT BEING CREDITED.
    33:30 WE DISCUSS THE “SONGS OF WHITE LION” TOUR OVERSEAS (FULL BAND TOUR)
    34:30 MARCUS DISCUSSES THE FALL 2023 USA TOUR BRIEFLY (SEPT-NOVEMBER- A FULL BAND 8 WEEK TOUR)
    35:45 REGARDING VITO BRATTA’S CONTRIBUTION TO WHITE LION: HE IS SPECTACULAR, AS YOU STUDY THESE SONGS, IT’S NOT JUST THE SOLOS, ALSO HIS RHYTHM WORK AND ALL THE LITTLE NUANCES, ALL THE OPEN STRING WORK UNDER THE vocal IS REALLY SPECTACULAR, REALLY REWARDING TO FIGURE OUT.
    38:20 WILL YOU EVER HAVE A MEETING WITH VITO?
    I WOULD LOVE THAT, HE HAS SOME OTHER OBLIGATIONS AND DUTIES AT THE MOMENT, BUT I WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT, WE DID TALK A LITTLE ABOUT THAT, THAT WOULD BE PRETTY AMAZING TO DO”.
