Uugh! Another night, another rant for the ills of the music industry. Enjoy.
Moneygrabs! Moneygrabs EVERYWHERE! And the 2020 Rock & Roll Hall of Shame Inductees
My tribute to the greatest drummer ever IMO.
So from 09-17, I was playing bass onstage. I explain the necessity on why I started playing guitar again. Also, my thoughts on radio DJ’s who shill for legacy artists while ignoring current artists. Plus...is Frank Marino right? Are we seeing the death of the music industry?
Lotsa music news about recent reunions (aka MONEYGRAB!) and also my opinion on the late, great Allan Holdsworth.
Going a little off the beaten path with this episode. My reviews of “Joker” and “Dolemite Is My Name” (spoilers!) while analyzing statements from Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, and that schmuck James Cameron. Plus, James Gunn rules!
Call back on points from last week (R&RHoF, EVH), and discussing Nikki Sixx’s tirade on Steel Panther. Plus, why I think social media is great...but mostly why I can’t stand it too.
You don’t set out to join the hall of fame when you play music. So why should we care about it? Simple - we don’t! (By the way; I tried editing certain words because I curse a lot on this episode...but editing takes too much effort, so f**k it; LOL!)
My opinion on musicians and artists who were influential, but horrible human beings.
Make way for the Lou MavsYYYYYY!
Enjoy this podcast where I’m joined by special guest Dean Plakas and we talk about his history in comics and what he’s doing now.
Updates, some music news, and my most tolerated 15 Van Hagar songs (get over it!).
Either live by your word and deliver, or be Vinnie Vincent. Your choice. How? Listen to the episode and find out.
Watch the movie “Hired Gun” for a more elaborate take on being a guy in the industry who gets paid to play...and that’s it.
Read Steve Lukather’s quote on my Facebook page (www.Facebook.com/MusicIsLifeLouMavs) and you’ll get the point of this episode. Explicit language. You’ve been warned.
Just wanted to put something out there since I was laid up with allergies. Good to be back.
Listen to the episode if you’re a cover band trying to make money in your local scene. Why? You might learn something that will help that cash flow.
Good musicians come in all packages. Good people are the same. Why it doesn’t matter to me who I play with, as long as they’re cool people and we can jam.
Wanna keep your scene great? Work with venues who want to work with you, and own the fact that each needs to do their part.
Welcome to the debut episode of the Music Is Life Podcast. In this episode, I talk about the value of music today, and how to promote your product with limited resources you could have easy access to. Enjoy!
