Episode 105: Guitarist Mark Valentino (Armada)

#music #podcast #armada #musicislifepodcast #longisland #rock #markvalentino #paulreedsmith #line6 #projektkaos #guitar #oceanside #newyork #armadarockband #blamegod #grindcore #kiss #acefrehley #stevelukather #nealschon #ironmaiden #metallica #killemall #spotify #applepodcasts #amazonmusic #ratsaladreview #goodmusic #hardrock #metal #hardcore #allartisvalid

From humble beginnings in Mineola, NY to his current role as guitarist and songwriter for mainstay Long Island rock band Armada, Mark Valentino is no stranger to the studio and the stage. A renaissance man who is a multi-instrumentalist, Mark feels at home on-stage with Armada bringing some of the best original rock and roll coming out of an area that is mostly known for their tribute and cover bands. I had the pleasure and privilege of sitting down with Mark and discussing many things, including what got him interested in guitar, his son Mark Jr. who is the guitarist for New York Grindcore band Blame God, his faith, his opinions on music for creativity over commerce, and what keeps him motivated. This was one of my most fun conversations, and I thank Mark for his time.

We talk fandom, and the importance of timeline on perspectives of fandom. We also discuss certain timelines and members of the band Kiss, and trust me when I say - I'm appreciative he even came on this podcast to discuss it when he could have just spoken about it on his own. Thank you again, Mike, for coming onto the Music Is Life Podcast for an informative and fun discussion.

I was drawn to her image, and then I heard that voice. Hence why the episode is called “The Angelic Syren,” because she has a powerful, amazing voice that draws you in and demands your attention. Her song “This War” was the one that won me over, and we talk about her process for writing songs and choosing the songs she covers. Needless to say, I’m a fan of Alyxx, and I hope after this episode, you will be one too.

Ivan Hruska was born in Croatia and has lived in Germany, Canada, and The United States. Since Ivan was a child, the music of Guns ‘N’ Roses, Nirvana, Aerosmith, and punk rock influenced Ivan to be a songwriter and musician. The music of Hollywood Apocalypse embodies all the right influences with the right sound. Ivan is also involved in the world of film, having helmed the psychological horror films “Blind” and “Pretty Boy.” Keep up with Ivan’s IMDB page to find out more about their film work.

Episode 87: The One…The Only…Mr. Frank Ferrante (“Groucho”)

I’m proud to have as my guest on this episode my first actor. Discovered at USC by Arthur Marx (the playwright son of Groucho Marx), Frank Ferrante has had the pleasure of performing as Groucho Marx in the productions of “Groucho: A Life In Revue” and “An Evening With Groucho.”


He’s performed on stages from all around the United States to the United Kingdom to Australia. He has also performed in the role of The Caesar in “Teatro Zinzanni,” a physically demanding character in a mostly improvisational production with dancers and aerialists.


I had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Ferrante perform in Freeport, NY in the spring of 2014 with my family. He was both amazing and gracious.


He is ready to roll out a filmed version of “An Evening With Groucho” (simply called “Frank Ferrante’s Groucho)” for Public Television Stations in the United States. Directed by Dreya Weber (“The Gymnast,” “The Aerialist,” “A Marine Story,”), this is one of the most anticipated performances ever for PBS stations.


Frank was kind enough to sit down for a chat with my self and James “JL” Lillquist (Rat Salad Review, Beyond Bushido) where we discussed his career, his plans, his relationships with members of the golden age of comedy, his friendships with Groucho’s children, and more.


For more on Frank Ferrante, check out his official website at
eveningwithgroucho.com.


Thank you, Mr. Frank Ferrante, for blessing the podcast with your presence. Cheers!

Episode 86: SPECIAL EDITION - In Defense of Peter Steele with Special Guest Baron Misuraca

#petersteele #typeonegative #carnivore #musicislifepodcast #ratsaladreview #podcast #metal #hardcore #retaliatiom #slowdeepandhard #originofthefeces #bloodykisses #octoberrust #worldcomingdown #lifeiskillingme #deadagain #brooklyn #ny #goth #indefenseof #carnivoread #sheerterror #baronmisuraca For almost 40 years, the music of Peter Steele, Carnivore and Type O Negative has been in the public consciousness. Peter was one of the most charismatic frontmen that ever graced a studio or a stage. Him and his band mates (Keith Alexander, Louie Beato, Kenny Hickey, Josh Silver, Sal Abruscato, and Johnny Kelly) are responsible for influencing generations of musicians, whether they be from his home city or Brooklyn (Life of Agony, Biohazard), or from Louisiana (Crowbar, or from overseas (Paradise Lost). However, with great art, there will be admirers and those that want to censor it. In this episode, I talk with Baron Misuraca of Carnivore A.D., who was friends with Peter when he founded Sheer Terror with Paul Bearer. In fact, the current members of Carnivore A.D. were all thanked in the “Retaliation” album (Baron in Sheer Terror, Chuck in The Crumbsuckers, and Joe in Whiplash), so there is legitimate history there, and there are songs in the Carnivore A.D. set list written by Peter that generate controversy today by those who judge the songs at face value without listening to the context and intent of the song. Also, Baron and I discuss the idea of “Cancel Culture,” how it was around since the days of Igor Stravinsky in the early 20th Century, how it’s easy for a group that espouses negative viewpoints to adopt any symbol and change its meaning, and how he handles it. Also, we discuss how Peter himself may have handled it if he were still here. Thank you to Baron Misuraca for partaking in this discussion, and thank you to Peter Steele for the music and the memories.

Episode 83: Thomas Edward Seymour (VHS Massacre)

Episode 83: Thomas Edward Seymour (VHS Massacre)

#vhsmassacre #vhsmassacretoo #podcast #troma #tomseymour #independentfilm #thomasedwardseymour #astoria #longislandcity #queens #newyork #ny #musicislifepodcast #ratsaladreview #paramount #comcast #disney #fox #sony #warnermedia #lloydkaufman A while ago, I came across an amazing documentary called “VHS Massacre” on Amazon Prime, regarding cult/exploitation/genre films and the decline of physical media. Recently, the sequel “VHS Massacre Too” was released, but it was only available for purchase. So I bought it, watched it, loved it, and reviewed it. The day I released the interview, by sheer good fortune, or kismet, or luck, or by me reach out to him, the filmmaker Thomas Edward Seymour was down to come on my podcast. SCORE ONE FOR THE GOOD GUYS! I genuinely thought Tom’s documentaries were two of the best I’ve ever seen. Informative and entertaining, I quickly found myself drawn back into a world I was familiar with and championed, and felt it was necessary to discuss his film career, his podcast (VHS Massacre Radio), and what he’s currently doing to promote his work. Again, what started as an interview turned into a friendly conversation, and as always, those make the best podcast episodes. My review: VHS Massacre Too is a sequel to the original VHS massacre, released in 2016 from Troma and directed by Thomas Edward Seymour and Kenneth Powell. Thomas also hosts a podcast called VHS Massacre, available on all streaming media platforms. The first film discusses the decline of physical media. The sequel discusses the difficulty of independent content creators distributing their films for the masses to consume. Talking points such as the monopolization of movie theater chains by the major communication conglomerates, the end of mom and pop video rental stores, and net neutrality are brought up. They also interview joe bob Briggs in one of his final interviews prior to the premiere of shudders the last drive in, cult film queen Debbie rochon and Lloyd Kaufman, the president of Troma films, which is the longest running independent film studio. This was a great documentary. If you want to open your perspective on genre films, and do your due diligence to seek films that you can’t find on Netflix, Amazon prime, Hulu or Disney plus, I seriously recommend this film. I give this film 5 out of 5 horns. Thank you, Tom, for blessing my little podcast with your presence. Cheers!

My first internship was as a pre-production assistant on Troma’s Terror Firmer (directed by Lloyd Kaufman. I honestly felt as though I was in a safe environment. The crew and Lloyd looked out for me. John Brennan - a man I’m happy to call a friend - wised me up to an online conspiracy campaign to incriminate Lloyd (a grandfather and a father of three daughters with his wife Patricia Kaufman, the former New York State Film Commisioner) without any substantial evidence to their lies. John brought it up, and we discussed it. I felt as though this topic deserved its own episode. Here it is in its unedited original format. WARNING - some words might be hard to take in depending on your constitutions, but it needs to be heard in its original context. One hand to God, and one hand on a bible - I will defend Lloyd Kaufman. Yes he is eccentric, yes he is erratic. However, he’s one of the few good guys in the film industry.

John Brennan is one of the most talented people I know. A musician, an actor, a producer, a director, and a writer, John cut his teeth on independent productions with his friends in high school before making his way to CW Post to study film. Making a pilgrimage to California to test his skills at writing, he returned to New York and found his way to the longest running independent film studio - Troma Films. Spearheading their web series “Kabukiman’s Cocktail Corner” (starring Doug Sakmann as the titular character), he became involved with the production of their next film “Return to Return to Nuke ‘em High AKA Volume 2.” Now, John is a producer of his own original music as John Brennan and the Bigfeet, a producer on Shudder’s “The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs,” and a producer of the soon to be released Troma movie “#ShakespearesShitstorm” which is making its NYC debut at the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, NY on April 8th, 2022 (go to https://www.troma.com for more information). John is one of the most hard working and nicest guys I know. He deserves all of his success, and we’re happy to have him on the Music Is Life Podcast. Enjoy part 2 of our interview.

Growing up, I was a huge fan of Jim Henson’s Muppets, and I still am. One of the best things to watch around the Christmas holiday season is “Emmet Otter’s Jugband Christmas,” among other Henson specials. For Part 1 of our discussion on Emmet Otter and Jim Henson, I’ve invited a friend of mine onto the podcast to speak about their experience as an intern for The Jim Henson Company and their fandom for the Muppets. Melissa Scopelitis is a friend of mine that I met on a Muppet Facebook Group. She is an alumni of St. John’s College from St. John’s University (class of 1999), who was an intern at Henson for one semester. Here, she discusses how she got into the Muppets, how she came upon her internship, her experience in helping to set up the Jim Henson Exhibit at the Museum of the Moving image in Astoria, NY, and her funniest experience at a Muppet convention involving a cast member of “Muppets Take Manhattan” and a member of Cheech & Chong.” We also discuss our love for Emmet Otter and other timeless Muppet Holiday specials. Thank you, Melissa, for blessing my podcast with your presence.

Tara and her co-host Adam are two of the new podcasters who will be bringing their show to the Rat Salad Review Network in 2022. We are beyond happy to have them aboard to discuss their love for cheesy movies of the 1980s. On this episode, Tara and I discuss our ten favorite Genesis songs. Also, 5 supporters of the Music Is Life Podcast contribute their top 10 songs as well. Genesis is one of the preeminent progressive rock bands of the late 60s that catapulted to superstardom. By the time Invisible Touch was released in 1986, they were selling out stadiums all around the world. Take into account that all members of the classic lineup had solo success, they’re one of the few where each individual member earned recognition for their output. Genesis is currently on tour for their Last Domino tour with Messers Collins, Banks and Rutherford. Steve Hackett will return to touring in 2022. Regardless of which band member you are seeing live, it is always quality music you will be getting. Thank you, Genesis, for 50+ years of quality music.

We wrap up loose ends from the previous interview, mention where you can find out more about her, and two charities she works with - Black Girls Rock and www.BeatStageThree.org. Also - Helen takes time to answer 5 questions from the Def Leppard Diehard Fans Facebook group, led by Ms. Karen Fairchild-Meyer. Many people may know her as the wife of Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen. What many do not know is that she is also a graduate of Brooklyn Tech (1 of the 3 most in-demand public high schools in New York City to enroll in along with Bronx Science and Stuyvesant) and SUNY Purchase, where she graduated with a degree in Costume Design. Having worked on everything from live performances to TV shows and film, she was working for Live Nation when she met Phil, and has been pursuing her passion for photography and visual art for a long time. I'm proud to have her on the show along with my partner Denise Escobar to discuss it. Thanks to Helen for being an amazing guest, and to my previous guest - the lovely Miss Lorelei Shellist - for helping to set it up. SPOILERS! Mr. Chingy Chapman returns!

Taken aback by her photography from her Instagram page, I thought it would have been a great opportunity to have her on the show to discuss her history, experience, and how she captures the moment to create stunning and breathtaking photography.

The previous episode talks mostly about her book and career. In this episode, we discuss The Dream Dress by Runway Runaway Collection, the VH1 film “Hysteria: The Def Leppard Story, her friendship with the band, and of course - the late, great Steve Clark. We’ve included home video footage shot by Lorelei and others in this episode to provide context to the conversation, showcasing Steve’s love for life, music, the band, the fans, and Lorelei. I stated in the previous episode - Lorelei is a warrior, and I hold true to those words. Many “experts” say what one should/shouldn’t do in times of conflict and talk the talk - she walked it and lived it, and is proof that there is life and a path of greatness when one overcomes heartbreaking obstacles, and that self-love and self-worth is not selfishness.

Episode 72: Lorelei Shellist - Model, Author, Fashion Designer (Part 1)

Episode 72: Lorelei Shellist - Model, Author, Fashion Designer (Part 1)

Never in a million years did I think I would get this interview. In 1998, when I was 17/18, I was still (even after their popularity had waned in the face of the mainstream) a diehard Def Leppard fan. Steve Clark was one of my earliest guitar influences, right up there with Eddie Van Halen and Randy Rhoads. When their VH1 Behind The Music special aired, I first saw Lorelei Shellist, who was Steve's fiancee. The way she spoke about him was so loving, and offered a perspective of him that differed from the band and the industry as a whole. It would have been an honor for me to sit down with her and get to know her as a person...and it all started with a Facebook message. I studied her modeling career, and new she had started a fashion line called "The Dream Dress by Runway Runaway." And I wondered what Runway Runaway was. Well, "Runway Runaway" is her autobiography, and the Dream Dress is her line of clothing. It was great to see that she kept busy, and built her brand on her own. I messaged her and asked her if she would like to be a part of the podcast, and discuss her career, her book, her fashion line, and of course - Steve Clark. Expecting a "thank you, but no thank you," I instead received an "I would love to be a part of your podcast." #JACKPOT! Alongside my partner in crime Denise Escobar (aka Lady Dee), we listened to the audiobook of "Runway Runaway," and all we could say is wow - what a book. Lorelei is a warrior, a survivor, and a victor. An inspiration for young kids who may be dealing with neglect, or abuse, and lack of confidence. She overcame all of that to be at the top of her league. People may wonder - why interview a model? Well, it's not just "pout for the camera," "sashay," "strike a pose," etc. It's a business where they only allow an elite few to enter, and Lorelei was modeling from the 1970s to fairly recently. People could learn a lot from her, and has a great story to tell. Truth is that modeling is an artform. And in my world, all art is valid. Denise and I are eternally grateful to Lorelei for this opportunity to sit down with her. Enjoy part 1 of our interview. Part 2 is on the way, and that will be more Def Leppard-focused, especially the late, great Steve Clark.

I am blessed to have my first ever actor on this first ever Horrorween Edition of the Music Is Life Podcast - Mr. Carl Crew, aka The Barnum of Burbank Boulevard. Famous among horror aficionados for his role as George Namtut in the horror comedy cult classic "Blood Diner" (1987, Lightning Pictures) and his controversial role as Jeffrey Dahmer in "The Secret Life of Jeffrey Dahmer" (1993; Intervision), he is the owner and proprietor of the California Institute of AbnormalArts in North Hollywood, CA. He is also the host of his most recent venture, "The Fourth Watch Files Podcast," discussing anomalies and enigmas in the world today.

We discuss all of these ventures, and more, including the character Rusty Defage (played by Dino Lee, the King of White Trash), the cast and crew of "Blood Diner," and his experience on the "Maury Povich Show" in 1993. We cover all this and more. However, we ran out of time to discuss the mystery of Shaye Saint John. The invitation for Carl to return is always open, as he was a real pleasure to have on the show.

This episode is dedicated to the memory of Rick Burks (Michael Namtut in Blood Diner; RIP, good sir).

Episode 70: MASADA - Professional Wrestler; Exiled Artifacts

Episode 70: MASADA - Professional Wrestler; Exiled Artifacts

The man, the myth, the legend...MASADA. A name that strikes fear in the hearts of competitors of the squared circle and brings excitement to the hearts of fans around the world. From his beginnings in Texas, he trained with Rudy Boy Gonzales and Shawn Michaels at the Texas Wrestling Academy, and made his way to NWA Wildside, Ring Of Honor, IWA Mid-South, and then to Japan in Big Japan Pro-Wrestling. There, he made his name and became an internationally-known athlete who found more popularity than ever before in his return to the United States. Many championships were earned, including the CZW Ultraviolent Undergound, CZW Tournament of Death Winnder, and CZW World Champion. He was also the winner of the inagural GCW Nick Gage Invitational, where his match with Nate Hatred (RIP) stole the show. MASADA is the owner of his own business called Exiled Artifacts, where he builds jewelry and accessories, and refurbishes vintage items. Working with leather, steel, and bone carvings, his creativity shines through in his craftsmanship.  The Music Is Life Podcast is proud to have MASADA as a guest on the show. After all...he's an artist!  To find out more about MASADA, please check out the following links:  Official MASADA Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/officialmasada/ Official Exiled Artifacts Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/exiledartifacts/ Official MASADA Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brigham.doane Official Exiled Artifacts Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ExiledArtifacts Official MASADA Twitter: https://twitter.com/officialmasada Official MASADA DVD/Blu-Ray Releases: https://smartmarkvideo.com/index.php?route=product/search&search=masada&description=true&category_id=194&limit=100 Official MASADA Shoot Interviews: https://smartmarkvideo.com/index.php?route=product/search&search=masada To purchase official Music Is Life Podcast merchandise from TeePublic.com, use this link: https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/24041518-music-is-life-podcast-official-logo?fbclid=IwAR2DMITWW5QtpxOQFBXgnnguy3rEksMGzkmr7WCPVCHgDZp8hu85LJAup40&ref_id=24450 If you want me to review YOUR band or YOUR music, please contact me at LouMavs@MusicIsLifePodcast.com.   If you’d like to donate to the podcast, please send via PayPal to MusicIsLifePodcast@gmail.com.

The brainchild of one Erica Solitaire Chappell. An artistic femme fatale, one that hasn’t been seen in ages in the world of popular music, and that’s all about to change. Originally hailing from Kentucky, she moved to LA to branch out into the world of entertainment. With a background in theater, dance, and music, there are no boundaries that she can’t break. Her musical project She Loves Tragedy brings memories of an area when underground goth subculture was all the rage. Combine that with the cheesecake aesthetic, and a punk rock attitude that puts the commercial bands to shame, Erica is ready to take on the world. I’m proud, honored and grateful to be the first music-based podcast that she interviewed with, and she’s welcome back anytime. Pure class, sophistication and intelligence.

How many people can say they do what they love? How many people say “rock is dead” without knowing all the facts? How many people stay loyal in a business where the bottom line is sales and revenue?

In the world of Munsey Ricci, loyalty and brand building are part of the job, and for 30 years, his company Skateboard Marketing has ridden the wave of being the last truly independent radio promotion company still standing.

Born in Queens, NY, Munsey was a student of the game, having worked in radio and for Mercury Records (who at one time had Kiss, Rush, Def Leppard, and more). With all of his experience and work ethic, he built his company Skateboard Marketing from the ground up. To get fans connected with the metal community, he recently launched Metal Contraband as a site for metal news and tours (ran by Chelsea Nelson-Fernandez) to expand his business. Munsey is proof that with great risk and responsible management comes great reward.

I recently interviewed him on his career and his company, his friendships with many artists (including the late, great Lemmy Kilmister and Ronnie James Dio), and more. Get the scoop on this industry insider that I’m proud to call a friend for over 20 years.

Lele Rose is a young, up and coming California musician. Influenced by the classic artists of the Motown era, jazz and by pop-music, she creates an original sound that many today are not doing. Her new single “Nothing Lasts Forever” is available now on all streaming media platforms.

Along with Lele, we have Ernest “Ernie” Layug of Out-Of-Time Productions. Ernie is a photographer and videographer who has photographed Lele professionally. They befriended each other through Instagram at the beginning of the pandemic, and started a professional working relationship through the most interesting of means - via photography through Zoom.

Ernie also has the distinct pleasure of being my former band mate in The Rebel Medium. That is him that you hear at the beginning and end of every episode of the Music Is Life Podcast on the song “Lose Control.”

We talk about many things - music, our passions, and our search for happiness.

Thank you to Lele and Ernie for gracing me with their presence.

Episode 62: Jawn Whitten of Shockwire

You get Shockwire – the brainchild of Peterborough, Ontario, Canada’s Jawn Whitten. Forming Shockwire from the ashes of SuperQuest (https://youtube.com/user/superquestrock), Jawn took his love and talent for music, comedy, and content creation, and took it up 10 steps (some even say up to 11). Having discovered a new following on Instagram, Jawn has amassed over 17,000 followers on his own, and through word of mouth from his fans. Never one to be complacent with his content, he’s consistent with output and delivers on all fronts. I discovered Jawn by accident. I entered “guitar” in the search engine for Instagram, and one of his “normal speed/slow motion” videos showed up. I thought it was one of the funniest videos I had seen in a long time, and quickly added it to my stories. From there, I was being asked “who is this guy,” and I had to find out more. Needless to say, Jawn and I hit it off immediately with our love of AC/DC and Def Leppard. This interview shows it, and is one of the most fun times I’ve ever had recording an episode. I wish Jawn all the best, and I hope you enjoy it. Shockwire’s EP “Cheap Beer & Guitar Strings” is available NOW!

Episode 61: Christopher Leopold Hackman of Human Barbie

Episode 61: Christopher Leopold Hackman of Human Barbie

#humanbarbie #indie #losangeles #california #wyoming #acoustic #getalife #becarefulwhatyouwishfor #crystalmirror #thetruthiscoming #music #lifeofed #chrishackman #christopherhackman #christopherleopold #christopherleopoldhackman #musicislifepodcast #ratsaladreview #analog #mobhitrecords #mobmusiccollective #tonysantana #thecure #madonna #beck #nineinchnails Thanks again to Mr. Tony Santana of Mob Hit Records, another artist was brought to my attention that I felt deserved praise, recognition, and a platform to promote their music. Human Barbie, the lo-fi indie project of Mr. Christopher Leopold Hackman, has music running through his veins. From his humble beginnings in Wyoming, his biggest musical influences were whatever was the pick of the month from mail order services from Columbia House. What it did was cultivate an interest in seeking his own artistic path, which led him to Los Angeles, CA where he’s been busy writing and recording for his band. Studying jazz bass and collaborating with like-minded musicians motivated him to create this project. From their first single “Nineteen80” to their recent full-length “Get A Life,” not one song disappointed me. Very friendly, very open, and with a warm disposition, I was honored to have Chris as a guest on the podcast to discuss his beginnings, where he is now, and what he will be doing. I suggest you check out his music - full of dynamics and dichotomy. There’s beauty in the sound, and a twist in the lyrics. All in all, a great sonic experience. I wish him nothing but the best.
