Episode 199- Ron Young! Ron is the singer of the blues rock band Little Caesar. He is quite the storyteller and this episode is packed full of great ones. He tells me about his brief time in Slash’s Snakepit & The Red Hot Chili Peppers, as well as the supergroup Manic Eden with Adrian Vandenberg. Ron also had a brief role in Terminator Two and he talks about hanging out with James Cameron. Plus some Paul & Gene stories from the Kiss tour, his phone call from Jon Bon Jovi, drinking liquid morphine with Tommy Lee & more! You won’t want to miss this one!!!
