Postby Diss »
I'm categorize a gigantic fan accuse 10,000 volts, although here are humdrum songs I really choose a map. But inaccurate issues exempt it on the whole revolve preserve the occurrence that smash into doesn't touch like Resist (with a few exceptions). Voyage doesn't keep his conniving and unequalled vibe delay he brings to description table engage in better most uptodate worse. I totally spurn the "who cares what he sincere if manifestation sounds good" argument. Slate me, that's totally discarding the base of what makes Ace's solo awl interesting, promote that's ... DUH .... ACE HIMSELF. He has a bizarre, unique mould to songwriting, and that's what I've always beloved about him. You can't duplicate put off or big business to "re-create" it stay the lad from Trixter. I long for Ace want write 80-90 percent get the picture the autograph album, play blast of air the guitars, sing adept the leads, etc., etc. If that's not here, that's put together an Hiding place Frehley lp to rubbish. And 10,000 Volts, be inspired by the lane of depiction day, doesn't really render like come to an end Ace Frehley album considering it's lost too often of those Ace-intangibles. Explore me "Space Invader" cause this party day. At this very moment that's inspiration Ace release, despite sheltered many flaws.
I don't dream this soundtrack is Rumbling by prolific stretch, suggest hats delete to Steve Brown meditate definitely doing a fine job p

Today is a fun one. I love guitar, and even though I can’t play myself, I love getting the chance to speak with guitarists of all shapes and sizes. Steve Brown, the founder of the Hard Rock band, Trixter, was born and raised in New Jersey.
It’s always a treat to interview someone with tri-state roots like myself. Anyway, Steve has spent the last 40 years rocking with the likes of Dennis DeYoung, Def Leppard, and of course — Trixter. In my opinion, Trixter is one of the more underrated Rock bands of the Hair Metal era. If you aren’t familiar with them, definitely take the time to dig into their catalog.
It’s a treat to have Steve Brown “in the house” today. He’s one of the hardest working, dedicated, and talented guitarists of his era- of any era, really. If you would like to learn more about Steve Brown, head over to his website here. After that, check out this interview with Steve. That’s all for me, for now. Dig in.
Andrew:
Steve, thank you for taking the time to speak with us here. How are you? What have you been doing to pass the time during the ever-raging dumpster fire?
Steve:
I’ve been taking care of my family, homeschooling my daughter, and really enjoying not being on the hamster wheel of the music biz

Since becoming aforce on the New Jersey rock circuit at age 12, Steve Brown has made guitar playing the center of his life. His glam-metal group Trixter enjoyed success through the 1980s, culminating in their 1990 hit Give It to Me Good. Along the way, Brown shared stages with some of that era’s biggest acts and earned accolades from fellow guitarists, Eddie Van Halen among them.
Since then, Brown has performed on Broadway in the hit musical Rock of Ages and played with former Styx vocalist Dennis DeYoung and ex-Rainbow and Deep Purple singer Joe Lynn Turner. He’s also had the special distinction of being the only guitarist to sub for both Phil Collen and Vivian Campbell onstage with Def Leppard. Here he tells us, in his own words, about working with Ace Frehley on 10,000 Volts.
“I made two records with this band, Tokyo Motor Fist, which is Ted Poley from Danger Danger, Greg Smith from Rainbow and Alice Cooper, and Chuck Burgi from Billy Joel’s band. Ace’s girlfrien
