Kenny Aaronson Live On Game Changers With Vicki

Stories! Man does my old pal, Kenny Aaronson, have them, and, he was in them when their monster hit, Brother Louie, was #1. I love rock ’n roll, and savored every word of Kenny’s incredible career from Dust with Marky Ramone, to his current gig with The Yardbirds, a 50-year dream come true. There’s so damn much betwixt and between and stories for all of it. How he got each gig, highlights, and how they came to a close. Playing with Hall & Oats before they hit huge, opening with them for Lou Reed, suing Tommy Motolla to get paid, that takes balls, but nearly as much as when Mick called and asked Kenny to audition for The Stones. Kenny’s interactions with Keith are… well, one for the book, and I heard it made Keith’s. Google was wrong about Hendrix but not about Ginger Baker, hanging with Cream, Beck, Rod Steward in ’68, amazing reminiscences. Playing with Leslie West, Billy Idol, Joan Jett, Graham Parker, great until it was time to get paid, recording with George Harrison, Rick Derringer, opening monster concerts for Aerosmith, Foreigner, Boston, Frampton during Frampton Comes Alive. There was HSAS with Sammy Hagger, before Van Halen, Bob Dylan, for Christ’s sake, John Eddy with our pal, Louie Appel, to present day with The Yardbirds, his favorite band when he was a kid, full circle to being a years-long member. Steve Kimock has his attention and talents as well now. Back to less structured jamming days, like back where Kenny started. He’s diggin’ doing what he loves and at this stage leaving the rest. There’s a damn good reason Kenny was named Bassist of The Year in ’88 by Rolling Stone. I’ve seen him slap that bass in many incarnations through the years––no one’s more fun to watch, or funks it out, better. I love this man. It’s all about his bass, and his balls. So damn fun.
