You may know me from the Ozzy Osbourne band, Billy Idol, or Last in Line and everything in between. Here you can find information about me, about current shows and about anything to do with my musical activities.
Even while this site is under development, it is organized with simple links that include a Bio, Gear and Discography pages and media connections so please feel free to look around!
Currently LIL (Last in Line) has started touring in support of the new album “II” that was released Feb 22nd on Frontiers Records. Please click HERE for more details. We are delighted that in the first week it charted on the Classic Rock Radio charts at 25, and premiered on Billboard at 75 on the Top 100!

Flashback time! A rare photo of “The Resident Aliens” a band of (mainly) Brits that we had and that used to play around the Hollywood area in the 90’s. From the right: myself (with hair), Kevin Savigar below me and Paul Rafferty below him. A female friend of ours and Robin LeMesurier below her. In the background is Myron Grombacher, with his insane red hair at that time and on the left Peter Frampton. I still have my Resident Aliens, baseball cap!Robin (RIP) and Kevin were long time Rod Stewart alamni - in fact Kevin is still Rod’s musical bandleader. Robin and I worked together for years culminating in he and I playing in Johnny Hallyday’s band. Paul moved to France and became a celebrated paint artist, Myron “Tyrone Drumwacker” was Pat Benatar’s original drummer but we worked on many recordings together and Peter …well he is still Peter!Good times in Hollywood - I think this was at Black and Blue - Frank Stallone’s club. #residentaliens #Hollywood #blackandblue#kevinsavigar#robinlemesurier#peterframpton#myrongrombacher#paulrafferty#allstarbands#rodstewart...

What a great evening, a wonderful night and dinner with Shep Gordon and a conversation populated with words of wisdom that can only originate from such brilliant experience. It is such an honor for me to spend even just a few moments with such a legend in our business. Thank you Shep, hope to see you again soon. #shepgordon#supermensch#maui... See MoreSee Less
Great show from Sammy and the incredible band. As always Sammy doesn’t pull any punches and the band were right there. Mike always delivers and his vocals are such a big part of the sound. It was great seeing Joe also and the always bang on Kenny Aronoff! Thank you Mike for the tickets right at the front. It was a great way to experience all these killer classic tracks!#michaelanthony#sammyhagar#kennyaronoff#joesatriani #bestofallworlds #vanhalen... See MoreSee Less
Happiest of birthdays to my friend, Paul Shortino! Please join me in wishing Paul a great day!…we’ve been friends for an awful long time, pushing four decades now, which I can’t really believe! I met Paul when I first came to America as a young 24 year-old playing with Ozzy, and we’ve been friends ever since. We’ve done jams, recordings, shows, benefits, public appearances, and of course he was one of the key personalities at the Raiding the Rock Vault show.One of the greatest personalities, singers and voices in this business, and always with a true smile on his face. …hope you have a great day and a fantastic year ahead my friend!#birthday#paulshortino#roughcutt #quietriot ...
