Bullet Boys first album is still one of my favorite albums and still play it to this day! Love Mick's guitar work on this album. He definitely has his own style and sound! Terribly underrated player. Great interview Jason! Love your podcast!
I'm so glad someone is finally showcasing the 80's bands. These guys invented the guitar shredder and drum gods. They really deserve their place in history. I was lucky I had a step dad who was 60 and 70's Era and an older brother who was 80's Era I was 13 in 1988 and got all this music to influence my playing. A awesome time in history.
@@WasteSomeTimewithJasonGreen I agree with T.RUSS. These interviews are getting better. It's amazing how you get all these artists to be interviewed. A definite positive for the internet. Keep up the great work 👍.
For me B.B was a band that fade away. There first was a great album. I still love it. I only like 3songs on Freak and none on the third. But back then they were one of the best 🤘
Mick Sweda, Jimmy D'Anda, Lonnie Vencent are the main men. They kicked ass when they came through Detroit to support their first release. I had a chance to meet Mick in the parking lot after the show, and he was one of the most down to earth, grounded dudes that i ever met Salute to those three gentlemen
These interview subjects are right up my alley. Thank you, Jason. I look forward to every one you upload. A Sea Hags (Ron Yocom) interview would be greatly appreciated if you could (or have the desire to) pull it off. Their one record on Chrysalis is just incredible. Lots of questions to ask from the GNR, Nymphs, Badlands & Metallica connections to the unfortunate passing of Chris S. Mick comes off as incredibly intelligent and introspective (not to mention he seems like a really great guy). I enjoyed the BulletBoys back in the day but like them even more so today. I had seen them in a small club during their headline tour in support of the debut album. This band was incredibly tight and just ripped it up like they were playing a stadium. That night, I came to realize that Jimmy D’Anda was one of the best drummers of the genre. Of course, Mick’s playing was just killer. He could have (should have) been known as the next great guitar hero. Mick is much more talented than many of his peers who came away with a lot more recognition. It’s nice to see he has lent his talents to other genres and still has the willingness to give the fans the real BulletBoys. I’ll go see them again if they come to my neck of the woods. Too bad my BulletBoys tour t-shirt is long gone.
Love re-watching your interviews Jason, just to make sure I didn’t miss anything, and have a chance to take it all in again. Exciting stuff to hear that the original lineup are putting new tracks together
I didn't get into the bulletboys until the mid90's, with the za za album. went backwards, and enjoyed them quite a bit. its amazing they can't seem to figure out how to stay together.
In 1985 King Kobra was my favorite new band. Then Thrill of a Lifetime came out. I enjoy it now for nostalgia sake bit at the time it was straight up survivor tier.
Great interview and can’t believe Mick is 61, he looks great and is a great open engaging dude. Remember having those two King Cobra albums and of course the first Bulletboys album good stuff.
Good interview. Remember seeing the Bulletboys several times. Probably my favorite show was a co-headlining gig in a theater in Indy with Steelheart and Great White.
Done with Mirrors is my favorite Aerosmith album too. I like it’s gritty feel that it has. Not a big fan of Steven Tyler’s candy coated lyrics all the time. Not much of that going on on this album.
I'm surprised to hear that Warner Brothers was still supporting them. Every other band from that scene has always said that the record companies either abandoned them or just dropped them.
Remember seeing Mick and Bullet boys in Ohio club while being broadcast over FM radio station! Thanks Jason and Mick for the great interview! Love to hear a Rex Carroll interview former member of Whitecross and currently back in Whitecross and doing Rex Carroll band and King James band!
Excellent excellent interviews! Your questions and whole feel is absolutely spot on. Great insight and history with some top musicians. Bulletboys are amazing imo. Marq Torien having seen him live is an amazing singer, performer and entertainer. Any plans to interview Marq Torien at all??? Just subscribed. Excellent content. Love it. You’re a great interviewer Jason, full of knowledge and respect. Brilliant. Bulletboys absolutely rock. Loved their first album in particular. THC Groove imo is an absolute one of a kind awesome track... and to hear that there might be new Bulletboys material is very exciting!
Jason, great interview with Mick. He seems like a cool cat. I loved his work with Bullet Boys and King Kobra. Regarding Marq Torien, from what I understand, he played guitar for RATT for a rather short period right before Warren joined.
The "Hunger" video was epic to me. Mick's Jackson and David 's Dean looked so cool. That vwas the first Jackson I had ever seen at that point and the solos were killler.
A friend of mine caught the BulletBoys when they played a small club in New Orleans. He said they played so loud that people thought the band was actually trying to hurt the audience.
Another great interview Jason. Thanks interview mick I'm a huge bullet boys and king kobra fan. And hopefully you can get the old singer of king kobra for an interview.
King Kobra Ready to Strike is in my top 10. Got the 1st two on CD from Japan. Cherished and still have my cassettes. 2nd favorite interview?!? Thanks Jason! 🤘🖖
Just saw this band a couple weeks ago. Very tight, and a lot of fun. Much respect to the guys for putting aside the issues (life is too short), and play again. Skid Row (Rachel Bolan actually) needs to follow suit.
Man your interviewing all the good ones. Here’s to hoping you can get ahold of Mark Behn or Jay Reynolds from Malice, Dan Wexler from Icon, and maybe Vic Hix from Shok Paris. 🤟🏻
Good question about Marq and his various versions of Bulletboys. I am largely unaware of BB after "Za Za" Also - watching from Singapore, for the 1st time there are multiple ads that pop up, in the past that has NOT happened.
Just curious...but have you interviewed ANY of the guys in Triumph yet? As you may remember, Triumph had their glam metal phase in the 80's with the excellent studio albums "Thunder Seven" (1984,) "The Sport of Kings" (1986,) "Surveillance" (1987) and even the great 1985 live album "Stages." If that ever takes place, I would personally like to know the answer to the question a lot of hard rock and metal fans want to ask Rik, Gil or Mike. What was their reaction when critics first compared them to the other power rock trio from the Great White North...Rush (a hard rock band most fans of the glam scene dislike for whatever reason, imho)? Why did the two trios NEVER tour together? Will there ever be a Triumph reunion album or tour? And was there ever a feud between them and Rush (I NEVER heard anything about feuds between these two bands)? Fyi, BOTH bands had quite a few metal bands opening for them back in the day. Rush had Saxon, Mr. Big, Dream Theater, and I think Badlands opening for them (the latter was very briefly,) and I can't remember exactly which ones opened up for Triumph (I was too young to remember, when Rik left the band in 1987.) But that would be a great interview I think many of your subs would enjoy. And yes...I do like Rush... a lot. I'm not sure how well ANY of these metal bands that opened for Rush got along well with Geddy, Alex and Neil because they came from much distinguished backgrounds? Anyway, ✌☮!
Didn't mean to go off the subject. King Kobra was a great melodic hard rock/glam band. I think they, along with Killer Dwarfs, were one of Triumph's openers in the mid-late 80's.
@@randymoran67 Well...according to drummer/singer Gil Moore and bassist Mike Levine on "Rockline" back in 2003..they actually had a glam phase briefly (in sound only...NOT look)...beginning with 1984's "Thunder Seven" and 1986's "The Sport Of Kings." It ended after 1987's "Surveillance," when guitarist/singer Rik Emmett left the band. In the mid 80's, Rik and Gil began wearing spandex leather trousers in their videos and in concert (Rik wore spandex even before that in videos.) And Rik's hair grew longer and he continued wearing spandex and leather during his solo career in the early 1990's (look at him and his teased mullet on the cover of his 1990 solo debut album "Absolutely." Looks pretty glam right there lol.) And to put it bluntly...Triumph fit in with the rest of the bands from the glam scene because of their sound. They had a glam "style" very similar to that of Quiet Riot, Whitesnake, VH or Def Leppard...the latter two who also were NOT a glam band (VH were a melodic hard rock band (later arena rock) and Def Lep began with the NWOBHM.) And judging by your comment...it sounded as if you were disparaging Triumph...or judging them harshly...because they were NOT a glam band. Am I right?! I still think Jason should do an interview with members of Triumph...especially Rik Emmett. John from Rock History Music already interviewed Mike Levine. An interview with Rik or Gil would be awesome.
I would love to hear some new music from the original band. I still listen to those first albums. Mick is a cool guitarist and Marq still sounds great.
Nobody ever interviews Zp Theart who is now lead singer of Skid Row. He left Dragonforce to join a somewhat nostalgia 80s band!!!! Jason would do that interview the best.
Saw MT in florida with his band, there was alot of security at the show .. MT ended up getting arrested after on a warrant end of show.. Is that why bullet boys never tour Florida ?
I hope Bulletboys comes out with a new album in 2021. Why didn't you ask if they made DEMOS with Mark Free as the original Singer? because they must have something recorded with Mark Free. Can you make an interview with Scott Dalhover from Dangerous Toys? I would like to know how they song wrote the whole first album and what happened to the first guitar player the reasons why he left and they are making a new album but when is it coming out
In my mind, Mick Sweda (& the rest of the band) never got their proper respect. The 1st two albums, got me through my 1st couple of years in the USMC, cuz it rocked so hard! I met Jimmy (the drummer) back in 2007-08 when his kid played drums for a classic rock cover band, at the Troubadour (I was security), & told him how much I loved his drumming. But, Mick's tone, Tasteful solos & killer riffs, DEFINITELY were a big part of my love for BB! As far as the VH comparison: outside of Marq's long, bleached hair & hip swiveling ala David Lee Roth, SONICALLY, they were way GRITTIER than VH ever was. I saw them with Cinderella & Winger(?) at the Philadelphia Spectrum, & they were AMAZING!
IMO, the second KK was really really boring... not the greatness of the first by a long shot. It definitely did not rock. I really only liked the Iron Eagle song. The first album was amazing... Bulletboys were amazing... but the second album was just not very good, imo. I even like pop music.
Actually, I am listening to the album now because of this... and I can definitely see why it was way way too much of a change for the worse for me to like it back then. HOWEVER, if I put my mind into a mindset of thinking it is Foreigner or Lou Gramm, I can see the good in it. It is just not what most of us wanted from King Kobra. Guitars are very downplayed and keyboards are certainly too much and too loud in the mix.
One of my most memorable rock and roll disappointments was taking a chance on KK's Thrill Of A Lifetime. :) I was 12 & so ready to love it and I thought it was gonna Kick Ass! I was like WTF! Like you said, it did not rock. I may have to revisit it to see if I can hear a rockin' album buried under all the keyboards like Mick talked about.
@WasteSomeTimeWithJasonGreen You forgot to ask Mick Sweda if Mark has learned to keep his damn mouth shut, and to not trash other bands, which was the reason that Mick walked away from the band, on top of other reasons.
@@WasteSomeTimewithJasonGreen Ahh ok cool, well, i'm sure that conversation was very interesting to say the least. Mich, Lonnie, Jimmy are all good dudes, who deserve to have a better front man.
FREAKSHOW is one of my favorite albums of all time..Every song solid and has stood up over the years.. ❤
Absolutely!. The guitar tone on that was massive too.
@@christopherhuff3123Mick is a great guitarist!!
Bullet Boys first album is still one of my favorite albums and still play it to this day! Love Mick's guitar work on this album. He definitely has his own style and sound! Terribly underrated player. Great interview Jason! Love your podcast!

Jason, the podcast is really developing. You’re a great interviewer.
I appreciate the nice words and glad you’re watching
@@WasteSomeTimewithJasonGreen I agree with T.RUSS. These interviews are getting better. It's amazing how you get all these artists to be interviewed. A definite positive for the internet. Keep up the great work 👍.
He really is. I want him to layer his hair and fluff it back a bit like as if the seventies, but besides that I'm a fan
Don't hate on that I give fashion tips to the hard rock luminaries! What's true is true!
Agreed.
Mick is super cool, didn't shy away from any questions! Huge fan of his - thank you Jason, another quality guest!
Thank you, yes he was great & very honest
Next to Carlos cavazo and Johnny dee mick seems to have lived a relatively clean life
For me B.B was a band that fade away. There first was a great album. I still love it. I only like 3songs on Freak and none on the third. But back then they were one of the best 🤘

Salute to those three gentlemen
Love Mick's playing and the whole Bulletboys vibe. One of the few bands of this era that I never got to see live. Regret.
Mick is literally the first rock guitar player I ever saw live... Cinderella tour 1989.
Sweda is a class act. Jason is such a great interviewer, & always was.
Seen Mick perform many times over the past decade. He's a killer guitarist and a good dude. Great interview as usual!
Great host and guest! Why isn't this channel huge? Great questions Jason.
Thank you very much, feel free to spread the word & help us get huge
More people would rather watch a narcissist like Eddie Trunk talk about himself, instead.

Ahhh man..only just seeing this vid for the first time:three years later.So I'm guessing it didn't work...?
@@smashdalde9713 nope...same things that always killed them. disagreements about money, and not that many people really cared.
can't say I'm surprised.Shame isn't it?
In 1985 King Kobra was my favorite new band. Then Thrill of a Lifetime came out. I enjoy it now for nostalgia sake bit at the time it was straight up survivor tier.
Intelligent and well-spoken.
Great interview and can’t believe Mick is 61, he looks great and is a great open engaging dude. Remember having those two King Cobra albums and of course the first Bulletboys album good stuff.
Thanks and yes he’s aged well
Woah I can't believe he's 61! Him and Blas Elias must have made a deal with the devil.lol
Good interview. Remember seeing the Bulletboys several times. Probably my favorite show was a co-headlining gig in a theater in Indy with Steelheart and Great White.
Already got my tickets for the show here in Vegas. Can't wait. Missed them back in the day, so I've been waiting a LOT of years for this!
I’m thinking about leaving my cave for it, you never know which show will be the last
This was the best interview I have seen you do Jason. Mick is a real chill guy who tells it like it is with class!
Jason, I so look forward to these podcast/interviews! You do an amazing job interviewing!
Thanks Joe! I’ve got some really good new interviews coming soon
I hope Jason gets to interview Triumph's Rik Emmet or Gil Moore in the near future.
Bulletboys back together, that's a bit of a surprise. Interesting interview, thanks!
It's so great to hear him say this because man I missed the boys I want it was so good to hear them back together
Great interview. I met Mick in Flint Michigan before a show must’ve been 89. Super cool then very cool now
The first Bulletboys album is phenomenal. Dang I love Done with Mirrors
Done with Mirrors is my favorite Aerosmith album too. I like it’s gritty feel that it has. Not a big fan of Steven Tyler’s candy coated lyrics all the time. Not much of that going on on this album.
Love done with mirrors... the end of the "old aerosmith" in my opinion.
I'm surprised to hear that Warner Brothers was still supporting them. Every other band from that scene has always said that the record companies either abandoned them or just dropped them.
Awesome interview. Great guitar player. BulletBoys are coming near me can't wait to see the original lineup.
Brother great interviews as always
Thanks Dean! Appreciate it
Remember seeing Mick and Bullet boys in Ohio club while being broadcast over FM radio station! Thanks Jason and Mick for the great interview! Love to hear a Rex Carroll interview former member of Whitecross and currently back in Whitecross and doing Rex Carroll band and King James band!
Was it at Mcguffys house of draft?
One of the best shows of 89 was Cinderella, Winger and Bullet Boys!!!!!!!
Great interview! Huge fan of Mick's playing, and BBoys & King Kobra!
20.06 'I guarantee you that' Lmfao. THAT is gold. 'Hey johnny.. Luv u brother'
Killer....love the Bullet Boys....brings back many memories from back in the day
The possibility of new Bulletboys music has got me excited, Hope it happens

Thrill of A Lifetime rocked! Still does.
Thoroughly enjoyed this Jason. As I do all of them. But I was obsessed with King Cobra at 18 years old ... 1984. Good times.
Thanks, I’m glad you liked it , appreciate you watching
Hi Jason really enjoy these interviews :) Marq played with Ratt in 1982 :)
A friend of mine caught the BulletBoys when they played a small club in New Orleans. He said they played so loud that people thought the band was actually trying to hurt the audience.
Saw them in Dallas. It was brutally loud.
Great interview! I remember seeing BB back in '89 with Cinderella and Winger. Their first album kills!
I love your Channel Jason! Thank You for this amazing content!!
Thank you very much, I’m glad you enjoy it, tell a friend

Nobody ever interviews Zp Theart who is now lead singer of Skid Row. He left Dragonforce to join a somewhat nostalgia 80s band!!!! Jason would do that interview the best.
Great interview.
Who would down vote this video? Jason actually let’s the artists answer questions and NOT talk over them as they answer.
To be honest, I didn't realize Mick Sweda was this boring (didn't downvote though).
He’s no Eddie Trunk.
He’s not boring. He was in one of the most obviously sexual albums of the late 80s. Smooth up in ya, hard as a rock, nothin boring about that.

Mick was brilliant on those first 2 records. Unique in tone and licks.
@@ThrillingTwo He had swagger, without showing off. He's similar to Zakk Wylde, without the (sonic) "Napoleon Complex".
He’s a Sweda boy
Not a fan at all, but cool interview. Always curious to hear how a band comes together, handle success, etc.
IMO, the second KK was really really boring... not the greatness of the first by a long shot. It definitely did not rock. I really only liked the Iron Eagle song. The first album was amazing... Bulletboys were amazing... but the second album was just not very good, imo. I even like pop music.
Actually, I am listening to the album now because of this... and I can definitely see why it was way way too much of a change for the worse for me to like it back then. HOWEVER, if I put my mind into a mindset of thinking it is Foreigner or Lou Gramm, I can see the good in it. It is just not what most of us wanted from King Kobra. Guitars are very downplayed and keyboards are certainly too much and too loud in the mix.

Metal health is not a Slade song
Home Street Home is a horrible song.
This dude is totally humorless.
