Ep 873 : Brad Gillis guitarist of Night Ranger

Today on another episode of Let There Be Talk, I'm sitting down with a guy who has one of the coolest jobs in Los Angeles — Mark Rosenthal, owner of the legendary Sunset Marquis. For decades, the Sunset Marquis has been much more than a hotel. It's been a home away from home for rock stars, musicians, actors, comedians, producers, and some of the most interesting characters to ever pass through Los Angeles. The walls of that place have seen some serious history. Today Mark takes us deep into the story of the Sunset Marquis — how it became one of the most legendary rock 'n' roll hotels in the world, the people who have stayed there, the stories that have unfolded behind those walls, and what makes the place so special after all these years. We also talk about the brand-new documentary If These Walls Could Rock, which digs into the incredible history and mythology surrounding this iconic hotel. I love the history of Los Angeles, I love rock 'n' roll, and when you put those two things together, you get one hell of a conversation. So let's get into it. Mark Rosenthal, owner of the Sunset Marquis, right here on Let There Be Talk.

Today on another episode of Let There Be Talk, I'm sitting down with Amelia Davis, curator of the incredible Jim Marshall Photography Archives. If you're a fan of rock 'n' roll history, this is a special one. Today we're talking about a brand-new book documenting one of the most legendary moments in music history — The Beatles' final concert, which took place right in San Francisco at Candlestick Park on August 29th, 1966. Jim Marshall was there with his cameras, capturing The Beatles at a moment when nobody knew they were witnessing the end of an era. These photographs give us a front-row seat to what turned out to be the final paid concert The Beatles ever played together. Amelia and I dive deep into Jim Marshall's relationship with The Beatles, the story behind these incredible photographs, the chaos surrounding that final show, and what it was really like to document some of the biggest moments in rock history through Jim's lens. This is a great conversation about The Beatles, San Francisco, Jim Marshall, photography, and the end of an incredible chapter in rock 'n' roll history. Let's get into it.

Today on Let There Be Talk, I'm sitting down with a true guitar legend — Brad Gillis. Brad is one of those players whose sound you know the second you hear it. He helped define the sound of Night Ranger with those killer dual-guitar harmonies, and he also stepped into some pretty massive shoes when he joined Ozzy Osbourne's band following the passing of Randy Rhoads. We're talking about the early days, Night Ranger, Ozzy, Randy Rhoads, the legendary Speak of the Devil record, life on the road, and what it was like being one of the guitar players at the center of some of the biggest moments in rock history. Brad Gillis is a killer guitar player, a Rock n Roller and a huge part of the history of American hard rock. Let's get into it. This is Brad Gillis — right here on Let There Be Talk.

My guests today are the directors of the brand-new Sunset Marquis documentary If These Walls Could Rock, Tyler Measom and Craig A. Williams. The Sunset Marquis wasn't just a hotel — it became a home away from home for rock stars. It's a place where records were written, friendships were made, parties happened, and some serious rock 'n' roll history went down. Tyler and Craig take us deep inside the story of this legendary hotel and the musicians, bands, producers, and characters who have passed through its doors over the decades. We're talking rock 'n' roll history, Hollywood, music, and the incredible stories that made the Sunset Marquis so much more than just a place to stay. This is a great one. Let's get into it.

Today on Let There Be Talk, I'm very excited to have two incredible people joining me who are doing something really important for the comedy community — Zoe Friedman and Amber J. Lawson, the co-founders of Comedy Gives Back. Comedy is supposed to make people laugh, but behind the scenes, comedians are dealing with many of the same struggles everybody else faces — mental health, addiction, financial problems, and just the pressures of trying to make a living in this business. Zoe and Amber saw that there was a real need for comedians to have somewhere to turn, and they built Comedy Gives Back to provide support, resources, and a safety net for people in the comedy community when they need it most. Today we're going to talk about how Comedy Gives Back started, why this organization is so important, what they're seeing within the comedy world right now, and what comedians can do if they're struggling or simply need some help. This is a really meaningful conversation, and I'm honored to have them here. Zoe Friedman and Amber J. Lawson, the co-founders of Comedy Gives Back — right now on Let There Be Talk.

We really get into what makes this album so special and what it's like to put your heart into a record and let the world hear it. This was a great conversation with a seriously talented songwriter.

Today on Let There Be Talk I sit down with one of the true survivors of rock 'n' roll, Phil Lewis, the unmistakable voice of L.A. Guns. From the wild days of the Sunset Strip to today, Phil has lived it all. We dive into the band's incredible legacy, the making of classic records like L.A. Guns and Cocked & Loaded, the chemistry between Phil and Tracii Guns, and how the band has found a creative second wind over the last several years with a string of killer new albums and relentless touring. We also talk about the brand-new live release, Live From The Guild Theatre, why L.A. Guns is still firing on all cylinders, and what keeps him inspired after decades on the road. This is a conversation about longevity, songwriting, surviving the music business, and what it really takes to keep a rock 'n' roll band alive. Phil is brutally honest, and full of incredible stories from one of the greatest eras in rock history. If you love hard rock, the Sunset Strip, and hearing it straight from someone who lived every minute of it, you're going to love this episode.
