“Vampire Anthems & Rock Operas with G Tom Mac” Episode Summary:
In this electrifying episode of Total Conundrum, we’re joined by the legendary G Tom Mac—the voice, the mind, and the creative force behind Cry Little Sister, the haunting anthem that defined The Lost Boys. But his story doesn’t stop there. From working with KISS and Roger Daltrey to being sampled by Eminem on a Grammy-winning album, Gerard McMahon’s career is a genre-defying ride through rock, soul, and cinematic sound.
We talk about: • His early self-taught days on guitar and piano • The story behind Cry Little Sister and its lasting legacy • Writing “Is That You?” for KISS—and the wild Duluth inspiration behind it • Collaborating with Corey Haim and creating Vamp Radio • His Lost Boys rock opera prequel and the upcoming musical Don’t You Forget About Me • The upcoming documentary How Did I Get Here • What it’s like to have his work covered by artists like Marilyn Manson and CHVRCHES
