Roxy Blue Should’ve Blown Up in 1992… Todd Poole Tells All

from The Hair Metal Guru · host Anthony Bryant

Roxy Blue looked like a sure thing in 1992. Jani Lane from Warrant discovered them. With their debut album Want Some? featuring tons of potential hit singles and major label backing from Geffen, they had everything lined up to break big.But then everything changed.In this in-depth interview, Todd Poole opens up about what really happened to Roxy Blue at the exact moment grunge took over—and why a band that “should’ve been huge” never got the chance. We also look at the opportunity he had to join Warrant as Jani Lane's replacement in 1993.We also dive into Todd’s personal journey, including the struggles he faced after the band’s momentum stalled, and how he ultimately came out the other side. We talk about his time in Saliva and 714.This is the story behind the hype, the timing, and the reality of the music industry in the early ‘90s.On a personal note, I've talked time after time about how much I love the Want Some! album... well, Todd has created a lot of great music since then as well. 👇 Let me know in the comments:Do you think Roxy Blue would’ve blown up if grunge hadn’t taken over?#RoxyBlue #ToddPoole #HairMetal #Grunge #90sRockPlease Like, Subscribe, & HYPE!!
