The Mike Tomano Happening: Episode 35 - Michael Rockert

Michael Rockert is a multi-instrumentalist songwriter whose new album, For A Time Such As This, is an epic metal meditation on the current state of the world. He joins Mike Tomano to discuss making the album and the importance music has played in his life, including the impact #KISS had on him. Tomano talks about escaping into music & nature in his teens to avoid bad paths, the influence of John Bonham on his drumming and his friendship with Ted Nugent. The two delve into the creative process, a world gone mad, and much more. An in-depth, casual conversation between two friends. A Tribute to #GilbertGottfried opens the show. PLUS! An excerpt from April 18th's Tomano in the Morning radio show: Remembering Michael Jackson's Pepsi incident of 1984. Don't miss it! #heavymetal #musicians #writing #GreatOutdoors
