I never thought I would see the day where one human could literally cause any of us to just be quiet and listen. Sitting in that room with that guy would have been an honor. Well done my friends. This was truly a great episode.
Truth!
That was a fantastic episode, one of your best. Please have that gentleman back, he was amazing. Thank you . ❤
Tom is an important part of rock n roll history. Motley Crue, Dokken, Metallica, GnR, Tesla. Just one of those is huge and he had many. Great eye and ear for talent still today. 1st ballot hall of famer in my opinion.
HOLY SHIT!!! This has got to be the most entertaining and captivating episode yet. I could listen to him tell stories for hours.
I’m watching this again. Best interview I’ve ever seen anywhere!
Please have him back!
The world of music needs more Tom.
Isn’t he the guy that lost his girlfriend to Niki Sixx?
Look at you my dudes getting all these legends on the Pod!!! Keep kicking ass! 🤟🏻🔥
I used to own that Rock City Angels record, it was great. Oddly enough I actually knew that bit about Johnny Depp being involved with that band and that song. Zutaut is the GOAT.
THIS POD WAS AWESOME. Great stories and SUPER entertaining!!!
AWSOME Job Tom Zutaut
I listened just as intently as you guys did. Amazing interview.
Great episode! What a legend. Great to hear everything from the man himself 🤘😎🤘
Great interview
It’s a forgotten time. A special time. When intelligent people listened to music. Every metal head I knew had a great GPA.
I didn't know that but I'm not surprised by it. It makes sense.
Stoked for this one!
Big thanks to Tom for being the real rockstar and giving Mötley Crüe, Tesla and Guns n Roses to me as a young boy living in a little village in Ohio 🤘🏼
And Pete (pygmies) thought he was the best thing in Fayetteville. Great interview!
By far my favorite interview so far. I learned a hell of a lot this
Seeing Bert made my week ❤
Great episode!!!! I'm gonna have to watch this one again, I know I missed something.
I wished they asked Tom how he got a job at a record company at 18.
It was bc he did it in high school
We did.
I did.
I don’t know how I came to this podcast/ you tube, but I’m so glad I did. This man is so interesting. It brought back so many memories as well as learning and I’m just so glad it came by me. Thank you.
Gentlemen - and Tom - big thanks for this excellent episode. So key. If Tom hasn’t written a book, he should.
Awesomeness!
1:33:14 take notes 💯
Great episode. I wish he mentioned The Fabulous Miss Wendy who is another artist he was behind and curious what happened to that project. Regarding Rock City Angels ... his timeline is a bit off. Johnny Depp came out here with them from FL I think it was '85 or 86. Johnny lived with my best friend who also came out here from FL. They played around the clubs and it was definitely before 21 Jump Street. He left the band to do the TV show. It's possible that Johnny joined RCA onstage at the Teaszer for a record release party or some other jam night after Johnny was on the hit TV show.
Wow. What a great guy to talk too.
This interview is effing gold.
Great episode...!!
1:24:23 love you Tom and Stacy great podcast 💯🤘🏻
Amazing interview, Toms Brain is fascinating
Thanks for this awesome interview! Tom Zutaut just is incredible!🎶
The squirting scene was a little much 😂
Thank You very much!!
I am very familiar with Tom but I have not listened to this yet. I have never heard that he signed Metallica? I’m well aware of Vicky Hamilton having him come to the show and he basically signed GNR after about 10 to 20 minutes. It was a no brainer they changed the whole genre. The issue was management and getting them on MTV which was critical at that time. I don’t think there was any other band that was that much of a guarantee…. The music the names the front man the guitarist it was the danger and the absolute refusal to conform. Such an incredible time to have been around. The greatest frontman ever and for 5+yrs the greatest band ever.
Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant!
Loved shark island
Pick your feet up people...lots of shit being dropped on this vid!
RCA should have been huge.
Does this dude even know a single non binary person.
