During recent years, Craig has been the driving force behind…

interview by Michael McCarthy Last Friday on August 24th, 2018, I had the opportunity to interview Craig Goldy, a guitarist extraordinaire who’s currently promoting his latest project, Dream Child. Goldy is perhaps best known as a guitarist for the late Ronnie James Dio, having played on the Dio albums Dream Evil (1987), Magica (2000) and…

interview by Michael McCarthy One of the many reasons why I love Enuff Z’Nuff is that they’ve always been prolific. To the point that they’ve been able to release four back catalog albums over the years, bringing their total number of studio albums to 15 when you count their smokin’ hot new album Diamond Boy,…

What can I say, he keeps putting out fantastic albums and I love to ask him questions about them. Between making records with Stryper, his solo projects and Sweet & Lynch, Michael…

Next, we spoke about Michael’s high voltage solo…

interview by Michael McCarthy Sometimes you wait a long time for one of your favorite artists to release a new album. Sometimes you wait a really, really long time. In the case of Cinderella’s Tom Keifer, I waited roughly 23 years. You see, the last studio album by Cinderella, the criminally-underrated Still Climbing, was released…

interview by Michael McCarthy Doug Aldrich is what they call a musician’s musician. A serious guitar player who’s well-regarded by his peers and highly sought after. If you look at his discography on Wiki, you’ll discover that he’s played on 36 albums so far. I’ve been following his career since the very beginning when he…

interview by Michael McCarthy “You want it, you need it,” sings Miljenko Matijevic on “My Dirty Girl,” the second song on Through Worlds of Stardust, the ferocious new album by Steelheart, (due September 15th via Frontiers). It might not be the album what you think you want, but it’s definitely what you need. Even if…

interview by Michael McCarthy So far, the first and only time I’ve seen Quiet Riot live was in ’93 or ’94 when they were promoting the album Terrified, a record I’d still recommend to fans of the band’s early albums. The show was at an underground club – literally, it was a small basement level…
