Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Growing up in the music business. My friends and I
have spent most of our lives traveling the world on
some of the biggest tours in history. We've performed pavilions,
seen it all, done it all, and now we're sharing
the stories most of us thought we'd never tell. One
time during a show in Spain and for some reason,
I really thought it would be a good idea if
I had stuck my head in the in the bass drum.

(00:23):
The thing with Prince definitely the ultimate rock star. I mean,
he had it down to a t. I know, makeupartis
with somebody had a chunk of their arm taken out
by one of the pythons, so it was definitely after me.
I'm Brian Ray, host of Van Tour podcast. My music
career began as a teenager with Eddie James and most

(00:43):
recently with Paul McCartney for nineteen years. On this show,
nothing's off limits. We're sharing personal stories from our years
on the road with the greatest music icons. You know,
the phone is not ringing, I've got this little hold
on for you, not doing much and maybe I should
just focus on this. And she listened very patiently, and
she said less interesting but guess what the Rolling Stones

(01:04):
called you today? Well, number one, I'm in Madison Square
Garden is insane, what's happening? And John Lennon's on stage
standing next to you singing Beatles songs. In those days,
being in Guns and Roses with what I felt like
being on a pirate ship was great, you know, it

(01:27):
was almost like the old expression waving the flag for
rock and roll on March On tour will take you
behind the scenes and into the chaos with the likes
of Matt Sorum from Her for Guns An Roses, Steve
Lucathur of Toto, Chuck Lavell, musical director for the Rolling Stones,
Lee Roy Bennett, production designer and close friend to Prince Orientty,

(01:48):
