Pretty Maids  are a firm value, especially as far as their live performances and this is something they proved once again playing in our country. A unique band that keeps offering quality 29 years later and keeps requiring respect! After their incredible live appearance in Athens, Solid Rock met the great Ronnie Atkins, vocalist of Pretty Maids, for an interview on all matters…

There are some musicians of huge and priceless importance no matter how popular they are. One of them is the one and only Paul Shortino, the voice of Rough Cutt, later on of the great Quiet Riot, the characteristic screaming voice of Hear ‘N’ Ais and most recentle of the re-activated King Kobra. Before the release of the anticipated 1st album of King Kobra with Paul Shortino on vocals, Solid Rock grabbed the chance to speak with the great singer for his new plans, his time in Quiet riot, Rough Cutt, his solo career as for the return of…”Hear ‘N’ Aid!  

I can't really tell if Jon Leon - mainman of White Wizzard- is so weird that no line-up will stay with him already, but the latest album of this young American classic metal band is so good, so we'd better not stay there. You can check below our short conversation with the founding member of White Wizzard who hopefully will not be as chary of talking in the future....

An interview with one of my beloved artists of all time? No, not even in my dreams…  Y&T’s name has long now been carved in the everlasting Hard Rock pantheon, plus their newest “Facemelter” comeback album really looks like it can melt your face (and ears, and ears). The band’s mainman (and a living legend for American Hard Rock) Dave Meniketti found the time to answer to our mag’s questions and, truth is, I would never expect to face such a down-to-earth and dynamic character, 35(!) years after the band released its first LP. The chat we had follows below.
