Rik Fox is a pioneer, artist, and has a unique perspective as an inside source of the rise of the American hard rock and heavy metal era of the 70s, 80s, and beyond. Rik witnessed the ascension of KISS, The New York Dolls, WASP, & Motley Crue, among others.

Part 1 of this 2 part Rik Fox special allows you to get an inside glimpse of what it was like to be in KISS' loft at 10 East 23rd Street; long before Gene Simmons was counting his millions. Listen to Rik share his memories of working in the 70's New York rock scene along with the Ramones, Dolls, and others playing gigs at CBGB's and the Fillmore East.

It was a legendary time and Rik Fox is your tour guide. I had a blast talking with Rik and think you will love hearing his recollection of a great time in rock history.

Good stuff as always Chris. I will have to get it on the IPod.

Thanks Vic! Rik has great stories. I loved hearing about the early KISS stuff especially.

Looks great! I'll listen to it later!

As always, GREAT JOB !!!

I wish that you eventually have visuals that appear during the podcast.
It would've been great to see Rik's costumes from yesteryear.

He certainly has the gift of the gab!

Those boots would have been scary to wear!

I've got that Keel album on LP!

Me too (& CD as well) Awesome album. One of my all time favorites. Ball tearing Metal album.

Yep I still love it too! I have the follow up on LP too.. Final Frontier? I can't remember the title, it had a cover of Because the Night

Like most metal & rock bands I always tend to prefer the 80's incarnation of the groups and the material they produced from the period is classic..

Motley Crüe
Def Leppard
Iron Maiden
Judas Priest
Ratt
Queensryche
Van Halen
and even Kiss to an extent did some great stuff in the 80's that eclipsed later material from the 90's and beyond...

Dannii is the shit for making that artwork for me! Absolutely love it!
