GB29 (Lizzie Grey interview)

Glambone comes out of hibernation, the glitter chestnuts have been stored and ready for sharing.  It’s a party in Hollywood, and just having a good time as we kick off the new year with an exclusive interview with lengendary L.A. veteran Lizzie Grey.

Listen as he recounts tales of the early days at the Starwood, and meeting Nikki Sixx for the first time, describing him as a John Waite look a-like with red spikey hair.  In addition to all the heavy hitters Lizzie played with back when... “The Blackie project (London II) didn’t last long, maybe five or six months, nothing really came of it.  It was another step of London slipping down another notch.  And then when Blackie left London, whatever the reason, it wasn’t happening anymore.  So that’s when things shifted, for me anyway.  I said to Blackie ‘you’re great at being a monster, use your devil voice and do your best.’  He took my advice and Wasp was everything that was.”

Lizzie sums up his own career by saying “I gave it everything I had, and I still do.”

Intro/part 1 (Blackie Lawless, Pretty Boy Floyd)

Hello my pretties ;) 

Glambone here, your mantron rebel, sprinkling glorious doses of ear delights.

We start December off with our first Glambone Podcast for you to salivate over.

In this episode we take a ride on the glitter carousel long before stumbling upon the sawblade cup piece, we have Blackie Lawless' post-Sister band, Circus Circus.

Following is an L.A. band called Circus. Notorious for living off daddy's money and could always be seen driving their Corvettes down the sunset strip. 1991 saw the debut of this band on the scene, where they took out full page ads in every local music rag promoting thier ill-attended

shows.  Pictured to your left is lead singer Tanzel, who's voice is rather uncanny to Dean Davidson of Britney Fox.

Next up is Kery Doll. After his stint with power pop group Rise, Kery remake/remodeled himself as the shock rock king of LA glam rock circa '83/'84.  Seeing that the hard edge of Crue and Wasp is what fancied everyone at the time, Kery would make hand made explosives and flashpots for his ultimate stage show, complete with him arriving in a casket.  Years later knock off bands like Fatal Attraction, and Halloween would try similar approaches, taking a page out of the Kery Doll book.
