If I went on a tour with you, what would the sound track between shows sound like? Who is your Dave Grohl? Segment 2 What is the coolest thing you’ve been involved in as a band member? If an apocalyptic event happens and only 1 song from every band survives, which of your songs would survive to re-populate the Earth? If I played your songs in reverse, what would I hear?

Joel Miller author of Memoir of a Roadie, joins Bill on episode 544 of the Pennsylvania Rock Show to talk about his experiences as a Roadie and his newly released book. [Bill’s Review of the Book] Featuring Music from: Corners of Sanctuary, Illusions of Grandeur, & The Nied’s Hotel Band How quickly did the chapter titles come to you? My dad is a fan of Jay Leno’s Garage, is his garage really like that? I really enjoyed reading about the interactions that you had with the band members. I didn’t expect there to be so much of a back and forth between them and the crews. How often did that happen? I ask this question of bands all the time, and it seems fitting since you talked about how the crew and band didn’t want to hear the band played on off days, what kind of music did the bands listen to when they weren’t on stage? There’s a story where you played the same song 10 times on the jukebox… How many times have you seen “This is Spinal Tap” on the bus? What was the oddest rider item that you were aware of? …What happened in Rio? Why don’t you mention all the bands that you worked with as a roadie? You did some work in the film industry, do you want to touch on that? What was the hardest thing about being on tour? What was your favorite city to go to and why? Were there any moments out on the road where you were thinking I can’t believe I’m here and this is happening? You mentioned you were an art dealer now… Where did writing come from? Where would you prefer the listeners pick up a copy of the book? Amazon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kp6-dWbzGxg

Lee, Jeff, Jimmy, & Nick of Big Atlantic joined Bill for their first appearance on the Pennsylvania Rock Show. Bill asked (or was lead to talk about, these guys did their homework haha) Coldest place you’ve ever played? Oddest shows you’ve played? … embarrassing moments? Where did you band name from? Tell me about your song Battling Chains… Who is Big Atlantic? Explosive rock band Big Atlantic harnesses the raw energy of a rock n roll show with modern music that radiates pure joy with deep roots in the rich, industrial Pittsburgh scene and heavily inspired by such powerhouse guitar-driven rock legends as The Foo Fighters, Rush, STP, The Who and Led Zeppelin. Together, they vibrate with gritty guitar melodies, fast driving rhythms and rich vocal harmonies, unleashing an earth-shaking sonic wave of sound. The band’s absorbing, intimate live shows and well-crafted recordings showcase members’ technical command of their instruments, effortless chemistry and talent for pouring pure heart into every performance. Collectively, they have collaborated and played shows with such national acts as Sha Na Na, The Goo Goo Dolls, Foo Fighters, Alien Ant Farm, Ballyhoo!, Rusted Root, Iration, and The Movement. In summer of 2016, Big Atlantic provided VIP entertainment at First Niagara Pavilion alongside Disturbed, Breaking Benjamin, and Alter Bridge. Big Atlantic released their debut album, MOTIVE, in 2012 produced by Rob Freeman. This earned them radio airplay within the tri-state area and their first taste of success. Returning to work with Rob at The Pilot Studio, TEMPERED is their latest collection. Thirteen songs written about the evolution of the group that plays like the soundtrack to an epic motion picture. The larger-than-life songs tell stories about the musicians’ personal, emotional travels down life’s many roads and side streets finding the ability to face adversity, find triumphant strength and perseverance. Currently, Big Atlantic is performing multiple dates, conferences and festivals in support of their new album, TEMPERED, released on 3/24/17.

Pay to Play, Record Labels, Promoters and more PYS001

Bill, Brian, & John start to bring out their opinions on pay to play. John and Brian both fall into the group of musicians that are against them. The conversation covers topics of pay to play, benefit shows, promoting a show and who is responsible, record labels and hidden issues, music reality tv and the reality of it, music competitions, and more. Is there a right way to do pay to play? Is it killing music scenes and venues? How does it affect younger bands vs veteran bands? Brian talks about the Zippo Hot Tour and how much he loved how that was ran. Bill told road stories and Brian and John want to take him on a tour to manage it for them. Eric Anthony, formerly of (kaj), and currently soundman came up in during the show. Everyone is in agreement that he does an amazing job on the board … and eventually we get around to Rock for Life, that series is just amazing in all of our eyes.
