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.

I was so sorry to hear about the passing of Mick Ralphs.(This picture taken in 1982 at Ridge Farm Studios)I knew that Mick had been ill for very long time, but it’s so tragic in light of the fact that Bad Company were just about to be inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame, and deservedly so. Mick produced our album that turned out to be the last release on Swan Song records. The band was called Wildlife and it featured Simon Kirke. It was my connection the Led Zeppelin camp and the way by which I would end up playing later with Jimmy Page. Mick was a wonderful person, so pleasant and fun to be around and extremely humble and complementary. Just as an aside, he lived in Henley on Thames and I remember going with him to his local pub, I think it was called The Rising Sun. When we would go it would not be unusual to hang with his other local buddies, David Gilmour, John Lord, and George Harrison! I guess that would classify as a bit of a hang!I was of course, a big Bad Company fan, but before that Mick was guitarist in Mott the Hoople, and that was one of the bands that completely changed my life! Rest in Peace Mick 🙏#MickRalphs @officialbadco @mottthehoople74 #swansong @ledzeppelin ... See MoreSee Less
It’s always so great to see my friends in Night Ranger!We have a lot of history going back several decades, Jack being instrumental in putting me forward to help form Vince Neil’s solo band for him when he left Mötley Crüe. I also sang backgrounds on the Damn Yankees albums and my dear friend Keri Kelli with whom we’ve done a lot together. It was great seeing fellow Ozzy alumni Brad Gillis and catching up with Kelly for the times that we used to hang out at the Rainbow all those years ago lol. Anyway, these guys kick ass more than they’ve done before, they have so much fun on stage and it comes across - and if you have a chance to see them, it’s just a wonderful feel good night of rock ‘n’ roll! One of the great final shows at Vamp’d Vegas, which will be closed very soon. The end of a remarkable era.Be well guys, and continued success !@bradgillisofficial @kerikelli @jackblades @kellykeagyofficial @vampdvegas @nightranger @thevinceneil ... See MoreSee Less
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
