This week is a pretty unique pairing of classic rockers. First up we hear from Slade drummer Don Powell! Don discusses those glory days of Slade, why they never fully caught on in the States despite being one of the biggest UK bands of the 70s, how Quiet Riot's cover of "Cum on Feel the Noize" finally brought them some attention, the personal and business obstacles the band had to overcome and his recent solo album with the Occasional Flames, Just My Cup of Tea. He's about as nice as they come!

Then we hear the Quiet Riot side of the story with bassist Chuck Wright! Chuck talks about how they came to record those Slade covers, working with Rudy Sarzo and the late Kevin Dubrow and Frankie Banali. Chuck also has his first solo album out now called The Sheltering Sky which is an epic piece of work. Enjoy!
