Ep 90: Interview w/ DAVID PENZER (Author of "SITTING RINGSIDE, Volume 2") ft. AAron Camaro from Decibel Geek podcast

Author: playthatpodcast January 27, 2025 Duration: 1:07:45
This is Play That Rock n' Roll's interview with former TNA Ring Announcer David Penzer about his new book, "SITTING RINGSIDE, Volume 2: The XWF, TNA and Life After Wrestling". And as an added bonus, we are joined by a special guest co-host: AAron Camaro from the Decibel Geek podcast! We discuss some of the topics Dave covered in the book, including an infamous confrontation between Rowdy Roddy Piper and Vince Russo, but most of this interview is actually about music! When Dave was here last time, he mentioned that he is a huge rock music fan and that he’s seen over a thousand concerts. Since we’re a music show, I figured this would be a great opportunity for Dave to share some stories and opinions on various rock and roll topics. In this conversation, Dave shares some hot takes on bands like KISS, Journey, REO Speedwagon, Styx, Chicago, and even Pablo Cruise. He also talks about his interactions with Gene Simmons and Rickey Medlocke from Lynyrd Skynyrd. Plus he tells us about some of the best concerts he’s ever seen.

Ever put on a record and feel like you're stepping into a different time? That's the space where Play That Rock n‘ Roll lives. This isn't just a playlist or a dry history lesson. It's a conversation about the music that built an era, hosted by playthatpodcast. Each episode digs into the albums that defined generations, the artists who lived the myth, and the often-overlooked stories behind the anthems we all know by heart. We're talking about the raw energy of the late '60s, the sprawling ambition of the '70s, and the seismic shifts that followed. You'll hear about the studio experiments that went wrong (and sometimes brilliantly right), the cultural moments that shaped the songs, and the legacies that continue to echo. It's for anyone who wants to go deeper than the greatest hits, to understand not just what was played, but why it still matters. This podcast is a part of Pantheon Podcasts, offering a dedicated look at the soundtrack of a revolution. So, crank it up and join us as we revisit the riffs, the solos, and the sheer attitude that made classic rock an enduring force. New episodes drop regularly, ready to fuel your next deep dive into music history.
