  • Heart's Nancy Wilson - Chappell Roan's Guitar Hero
    Nov 18 2025
    Nancy Wilson's been in the news a lot this year -- jamming live with Chappell Roan on a badass cover of Heart's hit song "Barracuda"; having beloved instruments stolen in Atlantic City; and, along with sister Ann, pulling Heart's songs off Amazon Music to protest Jeff Bezo's coziness with Donald Trump. When El Presidente called the Wilsons "a pair of aging rockers desperate for relevance." When he went douchy, they went classy, stating simply, "Truth doesn't age, and neither does courage." 'Nuff said. In this episode, Nancy speaks truth about the cocaine fueled, big hair era of the 80s; the hazards of choosing a band as your family business and dating your bandmates; and the realities of being a woman in the music business for 50 years.

  • Our Lady Peace's Raine Maida - Maida in Canada
    Oct 22 2025
    Lead singer Raine Maida gives us a “peace” of his mind with stories about the time Sammy Hagar tried to get Our Lady Peace kicked off the Van Halen tour; how his band snuck out of the infamous Woodstock 99 before the festival went up in flames; and how pathetic Kiss’ costumes look like without the band members inside them. In this short VIDEO, Raine describes what it's like when Nickelback is suddenly the bigger band and headlines the EnormoDome. https://youtube.com/shorts/iLz51DWhoQU OLP on IG: @ourladypeace Hear OLP's song Whatever (Redux) -- all proceeds are being donated to mental health and suicide prevention initiatives: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQDEv0rBFrY --- ***http://distrokid.com/vip/tmep*** Too Much Effing Perspective is supported by DISTROKID - the best way for Musicians, Songwriters, Producers, DJs to get their original music into Spotify, Apple, TikTok, and all the major platforms.

  • Spandau Ballet’s Gary Kemp - True Confessions
    Oct 1 2025
    Gary Kemp, whose career highlights as a musician and actor include writing Spandau Ballet's seminal hit "True," tells us about about the time David Bowie almost made Gary's son late for a playdate; going on a bender with Duran Duran the night before the 1984 Band Aid recording session: and why he and his old mate, Def Leppard's Joe Elliott, charted different musical paths even though they were fans of the same bands. In this short VIDEO, Gary muses on why Joe Elliott didn't laugh when they watched This Is Spinal Tap together. Might it have hit a little too close to home???

  • Actor Ed Begley Jr. - Surviving a Bizarre Gardening Accident
    Sep 18 2025
    Just in time for Spinal Tap 2: Ed Begley Jr. is our very first TMEP Show guest who actually appeared in "This Is Spinal Tap." In Ed's memorable scene, he shows up as Spinal Tap's original drummer John “Stumpy" Pepys looking like Buddy Holly behind the kit -- instant classic. Begley tells us about the time Harry Nilsson surprised him with a dinner invitation at John and Yoko’s place at The Dakota; smoking a J with Charles Manson; and, of course, how filming a “test scene” that actually ended up getting use in the movie led to him being enshired in Spinal Tap lore. In this short VIDEO, Ed describes that homecooked meal with the Lennons.
