It’s another chapter in The Dialogue Series. A chill ‘n chat with musicians, authors, fellow podcasters, listeners, and more. Our guest is Frank Meyer. Frank is an award-winning musician, director, and author from Los Angeles. He's best known for his vocal work with Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Famer James Williamson (Iggy and the Stooges), his rock band The Streetwalkin’ Cheetahs, and his studio and road work with cult legends Wayne Kramer (MC5), Cherie Currie (The Runaways), Sylvain Sylvain (New York Dolls), Cheetah Chrome (Dead Boys), just to name a few. Frank was the very first guest of the Booked On Rock podcast. He appeared in May of 2021 to talk about his two excellent books: On The Road With The Ramones and When The Wall Of Sound Met The New York Underground. He’s got a brand-new documentary feature film out now called Freestyle 101 Hip-Hop History. It's just been released on Amazon Prime, Google Play, and YouTube Movies. We’ll talk about that, along with just some of the many, many stories he has to tell.Frank saw the metal band Body Count perform a concert where they brought actual Uzis on stage! He got to see Axl Rose around 1984 when he was an unknown, singing in a band called Rapid Fire. He later caught a pre-famous Axl and Slash backstage at an MTV Video Awards show stealing food from a catering line. We talk the raw side of Eddie Van Halen, why he would love to see Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony write a book and what he'd want to be in it. We wind down with a discussion of Keith Richards, and the latest Rolling Stones album Hackney Diamonds!Watch Freestyle 101: Hip-Hop History On Amazon PrimeVisit thefrankmeyer.com & thefrankmeyerdirector.comFrank Meyer Social Media Sites:Facebook (Frank Meyer)Instagram (Frank Meyer)Facebook (101: Hip-Hop History)Instagram (101: Hip-Hop History)----------BookedOnRock.com The Booked On Rock YouTube Channel Follow The Booked On Rock with Eric Senich: FACEBOOK TWITTER INSTAGRAM TIKTOK Find Your Nearest Independent Bookstore Contact The Booked On Rock Podcast: [email protected] The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” by Crowander / “Last Train North” & “No Mercy” by TrackTribe
