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