Quotes:
"I feel that I'm more satisfied now as a writer, and it's getting me off now more than it ever has."
"Sometimes you get with a songwriting crew that just judges, and you're too scared to even say your ideas because you know they're going to get shot down."
"If you stay around long enough, you see they're just eras, and you just kind of roll through them."
"I think it's our love and our just love for doing what we do that keeps us going."
"I just feel like playing music is my calling, and I'm really getting off on that, that's for sure."
"Well, besides dogs and music, what else is there?"
"That was one of the first things that Heart ever learned as a band in the basement was like a Led Zeppelin medley."

The best female vocalist of the entire rock era. Nobody else comes close for the level of adaptability and multiple talents. And she's even a pretty good jazz flutist.
yessssssssss
Amen!
This woman is 74 and still absolutely stunning inside and out. I'm just floored.
Amazing right?
Ann has the most incredible female voice of all time. Her cover of Stairway To Heaven is a masterpiece.
yessssssssssssss
I love Kenny's genuine enthusiasm. An amazing host for his channel
Thanks for checking out my podcast : )
@KennyAronoffOfficial You are the O.G. of the Groove, Boss. Thank you for this wonderful platform you have provided to the legions of musicians like myself, that never got to fulfill the dream, professionally. We get to vicariously get a glimpse of it via your stories. Much respect !
@@manuseal5983 Thank you
Pat Benatar is very, very, very good ; but Ann Wilson is...The Bomb... The Absolute, Queen of Rock n' Roll !
Many a weekend night, long ago, we use to have friends over to play board games, and listen to what is now considered Classic Rock - and we would all start singing along with Ann Wilson and Heart !
Ann Wilson is a beautiful person, inside and out ; with an incredibly, awesome gift from God, which ended up being a gift to Mankind !!!
What a Sweetheart !!!
💓💕
A fan from the beginning in the 1970's, now in his 70's ; and still smitten with his Rock n' Roll Goddess !!!!
I will never forget I caught a show of The Dreamboat Annie Tour...unforgettable show. This band was the buzz...they still are.
very cool.
Ann, you have the voice of an angel. You are the best female vocalist of our generation!
I totally agree with you..
I can NOT believe this woman is 73. She looks barely over 40. What a beauty. Ann, your music and song writing (Along with Nancy) has been, and remains some of my favorites of rock n roll history. I hope you continue to rock us till the end, before the "war pigs" wipe us out. Your match up with Bukovac was a moment kissed by "The Almighty"! God bless you.
Thanks for your comments and checking out my podcast.
Ann is so beautiful, I can’t even!
Prob the best female rock vocalist ever. The band and both sisters are sooooooo underrated. 🎙🎶🎵🎸
I agree. Ann is amazing.
I've loved HEART since 1975 when I was a sophomore in high school. I love these sisters! Rock On ladies! You are bad a__es!
I agree. Thanks for checking out my podcast
As a teenager in Seattle in the late 60's (graduated in '70) I feel I witnessed the best of classic rock history... all the great rock and blues bands/people I got to see in concert (remember the beautiful Eagles Auditorium??) ... including the Beatles when I was 12. For me, out of all female rockers Ann's voice is the most beautiful and powerful voice I've ever heard, with Grace Slick (White Rabbit) and Stevie Nicks right behind. I wore out my Dreamboat Annie album... thanks Ann for all the wonderful years of great music, then and now.... those wonderful memories of those days being such an important part of my life! 💚
Carol.. Thanks for checking out my podcast. : )
Along with pat benatar and Christine mcvie, Ann Is one of my favorite female rock voices plus her so talented sister!!!!
Kind regards from México
Thanks for checking out my pod cast. : )
@@KennyAronoffOfficial Man come on!!! You are a so respected musician, my pleasure... I love.your insights about Neil Peart, by the way
Ann is great and I love the way she gives credit where it's due, Uncle Larry gets another happy face.
Thanks for checking out my pod cast.. : )
Anne Wilson and Pat Benatar……best female rock front women of all time. Period.

Thanks for checkin gout my podcast Diane.. That new record "Another Door" is my favorite record now.
@@KennyAronoffOfficial
Ann Wilson and Tripsitter- Another Door, rocks !!
🎤🎸🎵🎹🥁
@@diannecarpenter7718 yessssssssss it does
Loved this podcast! Such a rich history for the both of you. Rock music is such an awesome thing and the two of you became immersed in it----------------------------and you're still doing it! That, in itself, commands a decent amount of respect.
I actually played a miniscule role in all of this. I worked as a DJ at a small market hard rock/heavy metal radio station in Southern California during the early-to-mid-to late 80s. Both John Cougar and Heart were heavily in the rotation.
Anyhow, I just thought I'd let you know that you're a lucky man for getting the chance to sit down and talk with Ann.
From start to finish, you kept me engaged.
Thank you, and you now have another subscriber.
Rock on!
Thanks for your message and for checking out my podcast.
1st time I saw Heart ♥️ August 16, 1977 the day Elvis passed. Rick Derringer was the opening act Convention Hall, Asbury Park NJ when ♥️ came back out for Encore, Ann said, “we dedicate this song, to a man who died today” they played Led Zeppelin’s Rock-n-Roll the house lights came on, 3,600 people completely quiet wiping 😢their tears !
Great story.. Thanks for sharing
It would be most interesting if Kenny had John Cougar Mellencamp on his podcast like this. Wonder if John would do it? Also, as a life-long, casual, amateur drummer, I'm still mesmerized by Kenny's drumming on "Straight, No Chaser" from the Burnin' for Buddy project. Great job Kenny.
This conversation and interview is rich and really cool to listen and learn about these neat things from the past, and to hear Ann is still going with her music career and it's just very heart warming. I play drums and have since 1989, plus met you Kenny in Louisville, KY at a seminar! You are an amazing human being sir!!!
Thank you : ) You Rock.
I’ll never forget that Heart doing Zeppelin performance. I have went back and watched that multiple times plus shared it! Heart Rules!
They crushed Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy Center Honors.
We know the voice is phenomenal.. but how does she look this good in her 70s ?? Wow
Ann Amazing on many levels right?
Saw her 2 days ago still sounds amazing live !!🐐❤️🔥
I know.. she is amazing live. Did you see Ann Wilson and Tripsitter?
@@KennyAronoffOfficial yes , GREAT concert!!! Best to ever do it !!
Killer interview. I will turn 50 next month. Kenny Aronoff has always been an inspiration to me as an up and coming drummer. Just literally bought a new drum kit and all new cymbals that I have never played before. I am so excited. thanks Kenny!!! Ann OMG you are the best! Did you notice that Kenny responds to all comments, Dude is amazing!!!!!!
Thanks so much for your comments and that fantastic you bought a new drum kit. Enjoy Enjoy Enjoy.. : )
Thank you for continuing to make new music Ann and Kenny. Tripsitter is a great album.
Love that album
As soon as she explained the meaning of Tripsitter I said yep I gotta check them out. And now I shall. Good podcast. I gotta check more of these out.......
Thanks for checking on my podcast.. : )
Kenny love your show! Keeps Rockin Roll outta the grave
Thanks so much doctor..
Kenny, thanks for doing this podcast, it's amazing. I saw you live on John Fogerty's band in Argentina back in 2011, it was an incredible concert!!
Thanks for checking out my podcast.
That was great. Thank you! Two national treasures at the very top of their games.
I agree William
This is a great interview. There’s nothing better than evesdropping on you talking shop. Ann seemed to really appreciate that you listened to the new album and spoke about specific songs. And man, you are right about the album. It harkens back to those great albums from the past. Thank you for this and I’m so excited to discover you had this podcast and channel!
So glad you feel the same way I feel about Ann and her new record.. It's really amazing.
My wife always speaks of seeing John Mellencamp and heart when they played the university of Reno She mentions how as good as heart was John Mellencamp was unbelievable as a performer and everyone enjoyed him the most. By the way, nobody will ever convince me that the Grunge era was a good time in music. I too am a musician, and I believe the bar was lowered.
Reno was the first show of the Heart tour. I will never forget that show. : )
@@KennyAronoffOfficial That is so cool that you remember that!!
Thanks for the Great interviews Kenny! Looking forward to this one! The John 5 interview was really amazing as well!
Cool. Glad you are enjoying the episodes.. Ann is amazing.
Great interview, Kenny. I didn't want it to end! Ann Wilson, keep on rocking with that beautiful voice and spirit!❤️
Oh cool.. Glad you like the Ann Wilson episode. : )
Finally had my opportunity to see Heart with Joan Jett a few years ago in Cleveland, Ohio, and it was a dream come true ❤ As a teen in the nineties, you were one of my most treasured and inspiring rock goddesses! One of those when Dad would yell upstairs, 'Pick another record!!', after too many plays, but you're so good. I remember this now with my own daughter now, Haha. Another vocal capable of drawing chills, with an undeniable vocal tone, that I feel is so unfortunately so under known, underrated, is the incomparable Melanie. I'm curious as contemporaries and multigenerational musicians, driven women, creating in the male-dominated world of rock- did your paths ever cross, if not: now recommending a collab for the ages??? Thank you for rocking when girls like me needed heroes. Sending all love and every ounce of admiration ❤✌
Thanks for checking out my podcast.. : )
@@KennyAronoffOfficial Absolutely! Talent is everywhere in the bands we love and in the talents specifically sought after by sessions players! I can't imagine the things you've seen and how you made an imprint on sound we know well and prolifically! Carol Kaye, we're not worthy, right? Guitar is gonna move you and the vocalist can do anything with their instrument. But hips don't get anywhere without that space between the beat and the ride you take getting to the next one, punctuated by the rhythm section! It's everything. I will check out more of the podcast, but Ann stopped me in my tracks- I don't know how any one can play it cool with Ann Wilson, asking my first incipient question I believe I'd lose all rational thought just crumble to dust! It can happen! Some you can fully thank, appreciate, speak coherently haha, but sometimes you're just frozen in a loop of their greatness and you fail to make words and feel like that weird kid that loved the Tin Man in A Christmas Story 😂
@@teelakovacs208 lol Fantastic : )
What great storytelling - love Ann! Super cool, Kenny!
Thanks Sarah. : )
This is a gem
Thanks for checking out my podcast..
Great great interview! ❤
Kenny you amaze me with your energy.
lol Thanks. I was born this way. : )
Ann Wilson and Kenny Aronoff. please rock on!
Mark.. thanks for checking out my podcast
Thanks for this great interview! Kenny, you have been one of my favorite drummers since the 80s. I learned a lot from you growing up as an amateur drummer. Ann Wilson is my favorite singer. I just love and worship her. Amazing channel!
Thank you for checking out my podcast. Happy Holidays
Another great interview! Chasing a tortoise- that phrase is sticking with me : )
Totally Anne and Kenny! We have got to find time to listen to albums again and start finding ways to reward (pay) artists and technicians to make beautiful things that require us to give ourselves up for an hour and give us a sound track to dream to. Perhaps we need to grow up and be kids in the 70s again to find a sustainable way forward with a touch more thoughtful play to make our world fully experiential and less material.
You all keep rockin’!
Kenny, There is a video on youtube from when you opened up for Heart in Texas in 1982. It is outstanding. Love the podcast! I'm delighted you chat with us fans. Your Led Zep story was hilarious. I don't think that one made the book...but should have. hahaha.
Oh cool.. I will have to check that video out i RUclips. Is the video od Johny Cougar : ) on RUclips.. did we have balloons on stage with us?
I always thought Ann Wilson was one of or if not the best female voices in rock nice to see her smiling and healthy another great show kenny my friend happy holidays to you and youre family!!!!!
Hey Chuck.. Thanks so much..
You are an easy to listen to guy great podcast 👍👍❤️
Donald thanks man.. : )
How cute can she be. Ann is the Rock Light... uncle larry for president !
lol Uncle Larry for president : )
Again the Session Man !!!! Little Tommy Bukovac ! Very cool that she gives credit where credit is due .
I still.. Separate 1970's Heart vs. 1980's Heart.....
Eitherway....with such a Gift of that Voice given to Ann Wilson, always prevailing & conquering all of her peer female rock /pop singers .... Therefore, Ann Wilson, is put into the all round Rock & Roll singer category, as far as Im concerned.
Great interview, gotta love Ann.
The album is so good, and I absolutely agree, that you hear the band approach in every song. Really hope they do another one, hopefully with Uncle Larry joining them again.
Yess and I hope they make another record also.
Great interview, Kenny!! Saw Ann with Tripsitter (called Amazing Dogs last tour) They sounded great. Bukovac is the best on the planet. Can play any genre and sound like someone who has played that genre their entire life. Ann.. well she’s Ann Wilson!!
@@Jeff.D024 Yeah.. Everything you said I agree with. : )
Kenny! I’m five hours into your audio book on “audible “ and MAN I tell Ya…you’ve lived thru enough experiences for a dozen “normal “ people!
I’m amazed anyone could have such a full and robust life!
Kudos, man. Like Wow!
Also, THIS is one of THEE best Ann Wilson interviews and I’ve seen a bunch of!
She’s just friggin adorable ☺️
Hell Yes.. : ) Thank you for your comments, listening to my audio book and checking out my podcast. you rock.
Saw the two bottles of wine in the background. Must try "Uncommon" by Kenny Aoronoff soon. 🍷🍷🍷
yes Doug and I have a new Uncommon Wine coin gout next year on Feb 14th, 50% Merlot and 50% Cab
The best!
David.. thanks for checking out my podcast.. : )
2nd concert I ever saw was Heart (opened by Walter Egan) in the late 70s at the Kentucky State fair. I was hoping to see them again in 2024 as they are part of the Def Leppard and Journey tour, but we get Steve Miller Band here in Houston.
Allen,
Thanks for checking out my podcast. Happy Holidays .
❤this was wonderful Mister A
Thanks so much.. : )
@@KennyAronoffOfficial ❤️
saw heart in 1977. front row. GA show we waited at the door for two hours. one of the greatest shows i've ever seen.
Thanks for sharing that story. Very cool .
cape cod coliseum. sanford townsend band was on first. dave mason was the headliner but we left after heart lol. it was HOT in there and were hanging on to our front row spot hard for 2 hours. it was and will always be a great memory. they started with a song with mandolins and when that section ended, threw them into the wings and roadies caught them. we were just in awe. I was with my three band mates who had a high school band playing dances etc. we looked up to them so much...
even funnier, this really hot lady was trying very hard to move me from the barriers. she put her arms on either side of me and grabbed the railing. I was not moving for anything lol
@@KennyAronoffOfficial
@@damnyankeefl Danny.. I have seen concerts at the Cape Cod Coliseum and seen concerts there. Great memories and I saw the Sanford Townsend band a few times also. They were great. : )
Yes!! For my money, not that I'm a betting type, Ann Wilson is the greatest rock singer ever. Trixie the tortoise, love that. One of my rabbits is named Trixie. Love Ann so much!!
She is amazing, one of a kind and I love that you appreciate her.. : )
You rock, Ann 🤘🎸☮️
Thanks for checking out my podcast. : )
@@KennyAronoffOfficial thank you for having Ann Wilson. I got to give you props for mentioning Private Audition, one of my favorite albums, and asking the question that I wanted to ask her about whether she had melodies with the lyrics. Good job
@@RobAnthonyDire Hey Rob thanks for checking out my podcast.
Ann is so Awesome. I would give up my kick drum foot to play with her.
I'm a guitarist. ❤❤❤
She makes people play better when she is singing.
First concert was Kansas and heart. What an experience!
wow.. Lot's of great songs in that concert.
❤cannot wait Mister A!!
lol She is a rock star and an amazing human being.
@@KennyAronoffOfficial PNW girl here Mister A. Speaking of rock ‘n’ roll royalty, that would be you too. You are awesome❤️
: ) thank you. @@SeeCSeesCC
@@KennyAronoffOfficial ❤️
She’s a local girl! Can’t wait for this interview!
Heart put on great shows and records in the late 70’s. Now I’m a fan of TB so it’s cool to be made aware of Ann’s new record and continued vocal chops. As pure and strong a voice as it gets.
Thanks for checking out my new podcast
Wow Ann looks great, I'm really shocked I thought she would look old.
Thanks for checking out my podcast.. : )
I caught you guys on that tour in 1982. Both bands were phenomenal. Was it that long ago?
🙏🙏🙏❤️
Thanks for checking out my podcast. : )
Reminiscent of Jay Black talking about Cara Mia. He was on key into his seventies.
What a great episode. Nice shout-out to Tom Bukovac, an amazing talent.
Thanks, Kenny. Your drumming has always knocked me out.
Thanks so much for your comments.. : ) You Rock..
You should be doing the Sammy VH tribute tour.
That would be amazing. : )

Ok one more , but last comment.. ha ha ha.
I hear you say "The Band is called Tripster" (edit Trip sitter)
Tom Bukavac w/ Dean DeLeo (STP ) & guest singer Jon Anderson . Had a band called Trip the Witch. 2o21 / 2o22
You should Definitely have Tom Bukavac , in for a conversation/ interview.
lol
Ann,
I can assure you Elton John was not exaggerating.
Not even a little bit.
How about having some or one of the guys in Blue Oyster Cult on? 😊
Thanks for checking out my podcast Peter.

Thanks for checking out my podcast.
1:21 ... that long list... ironically, you mentioned "the Heartbreakers" ;
70's is also when Bands & Music , like NY Dolls , Pistols , Ramones Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers &&& , start to REBEL ,, to bring back... the 50s & 60s , 3 minute style song, without 3 minute guitar & keyboard solos .
Ha ha ha
Yesss. exactly
Seems a bit ironic for Ann Wilson to talk about the 'artifice' of the eighties....Heart was a big part of that when it was paying the bills
31:45 Ann is a close second to Linda Rondstat.
Thanks for checkin gout my podcast.
Ann you Look like Butter 🧡
Thanks for checking out my podcast.
he was not exaggerating
😃👍
Kenny kinda does all the talking innit
She talks about not being able to hit the high notes and that is just us getting older. Thats why most singers lower the key, no shame in it.
Thanks for checking out my podcast.. : )
@@KennyAronoffOfficial I have been a fan of Heart since their 1st album , and was interested in hearing what Ann's doing today. Thank for sharing.
@@KennyAronoffOfficial I looked you up on Google and knew your name was familiar. My respect my brother God bless!!
@@kimwestwood8840 yessssss
You're a great drummer, Aronoff, but do you start all your podcasts by reciting names for two minutes? Why not recite the phone book?
Ann and Nancy had a bit of a problem with your boy Johnny
Hey Morris I found Kenny you 🤬
Greatest female rock singer of All Time, and still soo beautiful. I'm from Vancouver and Heart always felt like they were Our band. They lived here and recorded here and we loved them and the Seattle scene was right in our backyard. Thank You Ann for taking the time to talk to us and thank you Kenny, great stuff as always.
David.. Thanks for everything you said.. I love Vancouver also.
you hit another home run Kenny you have a great channel I'm always waiting for the next interview and those sisters can ROCK
hell yes.
@@KennyAronoffOfficial 👍
@@rayfabris2512 Thanks you.
Interesting story when you guys were opening up for Heart when they were going through that transition from 70's rockers to their 80's rebirth. My first concert was in 1982 at the San Diego Stadium - The Who, Loverboy and Cougar. The rockers in the crowd did NOT like you guys LOL but you powered out a 30 minute set as Hurts/Jack were creeping up the charts. I think even Roger Daltrey made some diss remark about 'little Johnny Cougar'. As a young drummer I was like, how is that guy playing his HH with his left hand? Keep rocking brother!
oh wow.. that is amazing.. I remember that concert perfectly.. I was so excited to be opening up for The Who.. John Cougar didn't want to play that concert because he knew no one wanted to see him.. They wanted to see The Who.. BUT we had 2 songs in the top 10 "Jack and Diane" and "Hurt So Good" , so management made us play.. And I played and recorded Hurt So Good with a left hand lead on my hi hat. : ) g
@@KennyAronoffOfficial Nice! I remember the people in the stands cheering when Cougar he said he heard that 'Hurts so good' was a popular song in San Diego. But the people in General Admission who wanted to see The Who up close were not having it LOL. I was only 13 and literally thought I was going to die getting crushed in that crowd!
@@KennyAronoffOfficial Also, small world story is Heart's old guitar player Roger Fisher (and Ann Wilson's old beau) lived here in San Diego for awhile. His (former) wife is Czech and they would bring their son to a super small informal Czech language class once a week my wife (who's also Czech) taught. Unfortunately my wife didn't tell me until after they moved because she didn't know who he was! He wrote many of Heart's biggest 70's hits!
@@kickstar1 omg yeah.. Those crowds were insane and they through stuff at all the bands.
@@kickstar1 great story.. thanks for sharing. : )
