Ep 575 Drew Rose (Wildside) rebranding The Metal Recycle Bin to Get On The Bus go behind the scenes!

In Episode 575 of the podcast, we sit down with Drew Rose, best known as the singer from the cult-favorite ‘90s hard rock band Wildside. While fans of glam, sleaze, and Sunset Strip may remember Drew for singing in Wildside’s MTV-era heyday, these days he’s earning a different kind of spotlight on YouTube. Drew has been the man behind The 80's Metal Recycle Bin—a fun, raw, and passionate channel dedicated to deep-cut interviews, forgotten stories, and rock ‘n’ roll honesty. But now, he’s switching gears with a brand-new name and vibe: Get On The Bus.Why the rebrand? Drew reveals it was a mix of wanting to expand beyond just “recycled” memories and leaning into the freedom of a new name. Get On The Bus captures not only the interviews with rock royalty and road dogs but the actual ride—sometimes literally. Viewers get a first-hand feel of what it’s like being on tour, backstage, or even just jamming in a parking lot.A big shout out in the evolution of Drew’s channel goes to none other than Stevie Rachelle—frontman of the glam rock band Tuff and founder of the site Metal Sludge. Stevie encouraged Drew to step into the video format, but supported the original idea of preserving and celebrating the rock scene’s lesser-told stories.Drew’s background in both music and film production gives him a unique edge. He’s been there in the trenches of the LA rock world and knows how to make a story come alive on screen. As Get On The Bus revs up, fans can expect better production, deeper access, and plenty of unscripted content. From forgotten band tales to candid tour bus confessions, the channel is growing into something that blends nostalgia, music journalism, and vlogging into one rocking ride.https://getonthebus.com/https://www.youtube.com/@getonthebustv
