  • Welcome back to another unforgettable episode of the Kenny Aronoff Sessions podcast brimming with laughter and awe-inspiring stories, as the one and only Jack Blades joins Kenny for a celebration of the indomitable power of music and the resilience of the human spirit. Together, they delve into the realms of musical collaborations, the power of positive energy, and the democratic spirit that fuels the magic of bands. With heartfelt reflections on his upbringing and the profound influence of his mother's unwavering positivity, Jack unravels the untold tales behind Night Ranger, Damn Yankees, and how his music actually saved the life of one of his fans.
    He and Kenny also reveal the many aspects of their illustrious music careers, unveil the secrets behind Jack’s most iconic songs, the paramount significance of authenticity in their work, and the exhilarating experiences encountered within the recording studio and on epic tours. Both musicians also emphasize the unyielding commitment to delivering electrifying live performances, and the delicate balance they maintain between the hedonistic allure of the rock and roll lifestyle and the relentless demands of life on the road.
    From Sly Stone to Sammy Hagar to Ringo Starr, Jack has a vast catalog of behind the scenes stories which he shares with listeners here today, and he also goes on to candidly share a recent health scare he experienced and the transformative life changes he has made since.

    "It was always like a democracy. We'd all decide what was going on with the songs."
    "If you're authentic, if you really write down what's in your heart, in your soul...that's probably the closest glimpse into their soul as a person can see, man."
    "I feel blessed. I wake up every morning and pinch myself and thank God that I'm alive and thank God that everything is great."
    "I mean, if music stopped tomorrow, I wouldn't stop playing music... That's what I'll do till the day I die."
    "It's important to listen to your body.”

    I only knew Jack Blades by name. And I've never listened to any of his bands (though I did hear a couple Night Ranger tunes on MTV in the 80s) - not really my thing. The only reason I watched this is because I've enjoyed your other interviews and figured that if Jack is interesting enough for you to want to have as a guest, then I'll support that. And I'm glad I did: this is one of the most enjoyable and uplifting interviews I've seen with anyone.
    I also appreciate Jack portraying Ted Nugent in such a positive light. I was a big Amboy Dukes fan (particulary when Rusty Day was in the band) and have always felt Ted - much of it due to his own reaction-baiting shenanigans - never got a fair shake. Still, he - 55 years after the Dukes' 'Journey to the Centre of Your Mind' - is still riding high on his own terms.
    Thank you once again. And to Jack Blades. You two really should make some music together.

      Thank you. BTW, as an MI marketer I want you to know that IMO the visually striking design of your lead image (the one seen above) is one of the very best. It is crisp, clear, and consistent from episode to episode and thus acts as an effective branding vehicle. It is also devoid of any affectations of 'cool' - it, like you and your show itself is very real and authentic (as your chat with Jack suggests). Even including the episode number within it (versus in the caption) is smart; it drives viewers back to previous chats and creates anticipation for future ones. In short, it stands out in a magnetic manner. Whether it is you or someone else preparing those, an acknowledgement for a job excellently done is warranted. Indeed, it is too bad many of the big brands lack such strategic design for their websites and posts.
      Cheers!

      Nonsense. I saw that tour too, at the L.A. Forum, and Night Ranger didn't "rock Sammy out of the building." They were both awesome, but Sammy was at his peak, success-wise as a solo artist (pre-Van Hagar), and there was no mistaking who the headliner was. Night Ranger had one album out and did a great 30-40 minute set. No complaints -- they were fantastic. But Three Lock Box was all over AOR radio, and Sammy's back catalog songs were too, and he was on fire. He had that red Trans Am on stage, and was singing and playing on the rigging above the stage ... he put on a heck of a show. You can praise Night Ranger without using hyperbole and misrepresenting things.

    Mr. Aronoff, You have been my favorite drummer since I saw you play with Mellencamp (winter of '92, I think) in Dayton. Over the years, after you played with so many other folks, I can hear a song by someone and know it's you on the drums just from listening. I am not a drummer myself. I went the vocals route. But I have always been very interested in the techniques of all drummers. You are The Man. I'm glad I found your channel recently. Keep hitting things with sticks, Man.

    Kenny, I'm so glad I found you man. I have Tom Bukovac to thank for that (big fan of Uncle Larry, he got me through the pandemic in one piece). Then I saw your interview with Leland Sklar and I had to check out your book. Please keep these coming. This was a fantastic interview! Had to stop and relisten to Rain as soon as it came up. Amazing showcase by all of the lads! I'd love to hear more about your diet and exercise routine sometime, maybe it could just be a quick bonus short form video. Anyway, please keep doing what you're doing. I know you will. Much love from a Hoosier living in Denver, CO!

    Going back to the ear;y 80s. My friends thought Jack was faking his Bass Playing. I even saw NR in concert and though Fitz was holding down the bottom with pedals. You can’t blame us …running around strumming that thing like Danny Partridge. But he was cool anyway. Read in Circus Magazine he was in some band called Rubicon…. Well decades later with RUclips I checked out Rubicon…and then I heard Jacks bass playing ability and it was next level. Man we’re we wrong….of course Jack has informed us he played for and jammed and was endorsed by one of the greats . As with a lot of high energy 80s music it was about guitars and the bass was there to hold the bottom down.Jack did his job well. He wrote and sang great songs, was an energetic front man, had what I believe was the best hair of any rock srar, and held the bottom down. 😂

    we didn't know who was opening and I think the flag dropped as the backdrop and we went nuts...

And in fact, they paid Damn Yankees a million dollars not to do another Damn Yankees record. We're like, 'Really? OK, we'll just take the check. Why not?' That was how it was because Damn Yankees had sold so many records and we were so recouped, so in our contract the next thing was like 'we get a million bucks to do an album,' and they just paid us the million dollars not to do the record. That's how much nobody wanted anything to do with that era and style of music.”

    So the reason there are not alot of Thin Lizzy videos is partially do to the Death of Phil Lynott. I can remember qhen Dee Snider played one of his videos after he passed away and Dee was hosting Headbangers Ball which then was only 1/2 hr program at about 3pm on weekdays in America. Truth is they were just pre video movement.
