Chuck Panozzo of Styx
Styx founding member and bassist Chuck Panozzo is interviewed over the phone by Goldmine editor Patrick Prince for this episode of the Goldmine Podcast. Chuck started the band with his brother (drummer) John and lead singer Dennis DeYoung in 1961/1962 in their childhood Chicago neighborhood. All these years later, DeYoung is no longer in the band, John has passed away and Chuck, because of health reasons, only performs limited duty with Styx. For this new Styx album, Crash of the Crown, Chuck traveled down to guitarist Tommy Shaw’s sound studio in Nashville to record his share of the tracks. Chuck shares time with the other bassist in the band, Ricky Phillips. Chuck Panozzo is proud of this new album and very proud of Styx's legacy moving forward. part of Pantheon Podcasts.

John Till and the Full Tilt Boogie Band
It is said that John Till was so important to the Full Tilt Boogie Band that the moniker once had two letter Ls to represent the guitarist's name properly.

The Alarm's Mike Peters
The Alarm have recently released their album WAR (RAW in reverse), led by vocalist Mike Peters. Peters' lyrics are extremely on topic as he explores the anger and chaos of the last five years, from Brexit to the Capitol riots, the use of social media as a propaganda tool (as the song “Protect and Survive” sounds the alarm of “280 ways to start a war!”), all the way through the continuing pandemic. It makes for a lively conversation, as samples from the album are played and classic Alarm songs like “Strength” and “Rain in the Summertime” are discussed, among other things. Listen up!

Pop hits we love and loathe
We all have them: pop songs we love and pop songs we loathe. There are songs that we love from the moment we hear them — and we know exactly why. And then there are certain songs — while being bestselling songs, well-crafted and well-performed — can still hit a certain nerve that can have us leaving the room on first note. It's nothing personal, it all depends on the individual. On this episode, two podcasters talk about their own personal pop songs that they have loved and loathed throughout their lives for various reasons. It's all in good fun, and maybe listeners can submit some of their own choices.
