RECORD STORE TALES #1191: Top Five Cool Things You May Not Know About Alan Niven
A couple weeks ago, I was asked by John Snow of 2Loud2OldMusic to co-host a big big interview he was offered.
“How would you like to interview Alan Niven with me?” he asked. John hadn’t done a solo interview before, and wouldn’t have minded a backup.
“Alan Niven? The Alan Niven? Yes!” How could I say no? The guy who managed Guns N’ Roses during their peak? The guy who co-wrote some amazing Great White songs, drawing out their best qualities? The guy who has a new book coming out called Sound N’ Fury? Of course!
While nervous, reading Alan’s book left us with loads and loads of questions to ask him. Without spoiling the interview, which will debut next week on The Collection on YouTube, here are the Top Five Cool Things You May Not Know About Alan Niven that I discovered in this interview process.
5. He had the “stones” to demand $1,000,000 from Mick Jagger, for Guns to open for the Rolling Stones on four dates at the Hollywood Bowl. Guns were originally offered half that.
4. He had to physically pull up Jack Russell’s pants, more than once, to keep him from being arrested.
3. He is well read and well spoken. He opens Sound N’ Fury with a quote from Macbeth.
2. There is an absolutely brilliant story about a music video director that later became a mega-smash-hit movie director, and the way Niven unfolded the story and dropped the name was pure epic storytelling. Read the book to get the name.
1. “Nobody died on my watch.” Indeed, of all the self-destructive personalities in the bands he managed, nobody died under his guidance. That is indeed an accomplishment, and to me, the most powerful quote in the book.
Pick up Sound N’ Fury by Alan Niven, wherever fine books are sold.
This will likely be the last Contrarians show for me for a few weeks, as we have some house renovations coming that will make recording and streaming difficult.
From the mind of Martin! Album Covers Your Can Smell? Can we act like adults tonight? Let’s hope there’s no Herbie Mann this time.
THE CONTRARIANS – Album Covers You Can Smell! – Wednesday May 28 – 7:00 PM EST
SOONER [Noun]: “Sooners” is how my dad refers to the people who show up to go to the beach for the day. I wondered what “Sooners” meant so I looked it up. He must have got it from one of his cowboy movies. Sooner: “a person settling on land in the early West before its official opening to settlement in order to gain the prior claim allowed by law to the first settler after official opening.”
RECORD STORE TALES #1190: Return of the Sooners
I like to do something new every time I go to the lake, if possible. This time, I didn’t have anything planned. I had two shows to do, but otherwise I wanted to enjoy my time and the surroundings without too much goal-setting.
This time, however, plans took a turn of their own. Allow me to explain.
John Snow invited me to co-host an interview with a big, big name. That interview was scheduled for Thursday afternoon, the 22nd of May. I had planned to go to the cottage on Friday afternoon. However, the big interview got re-scheduled at the last minute, to Monday the 26th. Frustrated, I decided to cheer myself up by going to the lake on Thursday night instead, and working from there on Friday morning. Something unthinkable just five years ago.
The wifi is better at the lake and I have more space. We left town Thursday night and I dutifully worked a cold, rainy Friday morning from the cottage. I wanted to work from the porch, but the cold and rain made this impossible. It is rarely so cold in May, but here we are. We have not had one nice weekend at the lake yet this season!
Even so, working from the lake was awesome: making my bacon mere inches away from my laptop, or being able to step outside and enjoy the (cold) fresh air! But best of all, when the day was over we didn’t have to drive anywhere. We were already there! The bonus time spent at the lake was a game changer.
Friday afternoon was booked off. We went into town to buy some treats, and came back to a Friday afternoon all our own. There was nobody around. Not one cottage on our stretch was occupied that weekend. The peace and quiet was unusual! The last time up, I was worried that the guy across the road was going to blow leaves all through my Friday show. This time there was nobody across the street.
Mid-afternoon, sitting in my armchair, I saw a car across the road. I saw him stop, look out the door, and pull into the neighbour’s driveway.
“Ah crap,” I murmured to myself. “Looks like we won’t be alone after all this weekend.”
A few moments later, I noticed five people standing and sitting around our bench at the beach.
“That wouldn’t be the neighbours,” I said to myself. “They have their own property on the beach. They have never used ours. Who are these people?”
I allowed them a few minutes to take pictures or do whatever they were doing, but they didn’t move on.
Sooners. Goddamn sooners! They were back after a long absence. I hadn’t seen any sooners in two years. I decided to make sure they knew they were on private property, and using my bench!
I put on my hoodie and walked down to the beach. I saw them turn and watch me approach. Five guys. They looked like students to me.
I nodded as I approached my bench. I was curt with them.
“Hey, just going to use my bench. This is my property.” I paused. “See ya.”
They began moving on, but back through the neighbour’s property.
“You can’t go that way,” I alerted them. “That’s private property. You have to use the public walkway.” I pointed to it, a few feet to their left.
“Do you know where there is parking around here?” one of them asked.
“There isn’t any. This is a private road. You have to go park up the side road.”
I watched them leave. After a while, I walked up to the side road to see where they parked. They were nowhere to be found. They had left the subdivision completely. I guess I scared them off.
In the Battle of the Sooners in 2025, the score is now 1-0 for me!
Because of the cold and rain, we didn’t get a lot of outdoors stuff done to report on. However, the weekend was not over, and we did get some drone time and some photos taken, so there will be more to come.
Join Peter Kerr and myself, two self-confessed fans of 80s Rush, as we discuss Signals and Hold Your Fire. This fun and insightful episode of Rock Daydream Nation shines an admiring light upon two albums that bookend an era of keyboard-oriented Rush records.
This era of Rush has sometimes been criticized for highlighting synth and keyboards over riffs. While there is always some truth to this, does that mean a decline in quality? Not necessarily. It might just mean bands are becoming interested in different kinds of rock music.
Peter and I pick a number of songs to highlight, and play music clips to illustrate our examples. Check out the show!
Clash of the Titans! Mike and Harrison disagree sharply on one song on Maiden England ’88 and you’ll see it happen in this live episode of 50 Years of Iron Maiden from Friday night.
In this celebratory episode, we dissect this double CD song by song, including all the encores. We discuss, and show off, different releases. We talk about the mix, the video, the cover art, and all the usual details. We also allow Slash from Guns N’ Roses a minute of showtime to talk about touring with Iron Maiden. His answer angered some Maiden fans on YouTube.
The lively comments section allowed us some back and forth, and a looseness that we don’t get with the pre-recorded episodes. For that reason and more, this was a very fun episode! Check it out if you missed it.
See you in two weeks, for No Prayer for the Dying with Reed Little.
Recorded 27–28 November 1988 Live at the National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham
Released 8 November 1989 (VHS) 1994 (CD/VHS)
Length 95:00 (video, approx.) 74:27 (audio) 100:30 (2 CD reissue)
Label PMI / EMI
Director Steve Harris
Producer Martin Birch
1. “Moonchild”
Recorded intro is from album. New track up for #1 and a great opener it is. Bruce’s voice is absolutely stunning here, as he goes slightly off album format and lets it rip without rasp. Baby crying represents birth of the seventh son and is new audio.
2. “The Evil That Men Do”
New track up for #2 and Bruce still powering through, and not an easy song to power through.
3. “The Prisoner”
Back to Beast for #3, and the audience is all there for it, punctuating the riff with “YEAHS”! Adrian sounds great on backing vocals – integral to the live version.
4. “Still Life” (single B-side)
Finally a live version of Still Life! It is everything you want it to be, if you are a Piece of Mind fan. Heavy parts are faster and heavier, Bruce’s vocals are more off the hook. He messes up the second last line: “Coming all the time, now we rest in peace!” Should be “Always after me”.
5. “Die with Your Boots On”
Solid workmanlike version. Bruce has a little more fun with varying the vocal line than on Live After Death.
6. “Infinite Dreams” (single A-side)
Wisely alternating new and old material.
7. “Killers” (single B-side)
“Gimme some bad dreams, this one!” One of the best live versions of Killers on CD. Absolutely vicious and perfect for following Infinite Dreams.
8. “Can I Play with Madness” (VHS only)
Backing vocals are flatter live (Steve?) but this is the first live version released of this now-classic single. Bruce throws in lots of extra “yeah yeah yeah-hah” lines. Set tends to focus on newer songs for the next batch.
9. “Heaven Can Wait”
A song for those who might be worried about their ultimate disposition up there or down below! Top notch live version of this now-overplayed song. It was fresher back then. Faster; drags less especially in the woah oh oh section. (I also like “That’s it – end of the song!” at the end.)
10. “Wasted Years”
And finally a live version of Wasted Years! First real time Bruce struggles with the song, but it still sounds brilliant. It’s a challenging song of course. Minor differences in Adrian’s solo too.
1. “The Clairvoyant”
This single sounds great live; tad faster. This is not the live version from the previous single A-side.
2. “Seventh Son of a Seventh Son”
Without any introduction, we go forth into the concert epic. Replacing Rime of the Ancient Mariner, the song proves its mettle in filling that role. Perhaps superior to the album more? More drive, Bruce more off the chain?
3. “The Number of the Beast”
Back to the classics not much to say here.
4. “Hallowed Be Thy Name” (VHS only)
Vocally awesome – Bruce holds that one note nice and long. Equal to the Live After Death version? Vocally Bruce is weaker, but singing it more “straight” without weird accents. Davey’s solo – bonkers! Adrian’s – composed intensity! Pick scrapes galore!
5. “Iron Maiden”
“Yeah let it rip!” Oldies to the end, with plenty of Di’Anno era rock. This operatic version of Iron Maiden is fast and fun.
6. “Run to the Hills” (2013 CD)
Abrupt sonic shift; you can hear that these are the “bonus tracks”. The obligatory Run to the Hills is here and there’s not much more to say.
7. “Running Free” (2013 CD)
Great version here. Pay special attention to Nicko’s drum fills, which are animated and plentiful. Bruce says this is the biggest indoor crowd they have played to in England. Bruce does tell them that they are recording a video. No big long “I’m Running Free, yeah!” section – just a couple times.
8. “Sanctuary” (2013 CD)
A smashing closer! Steve’s bass is perfect in the – prominent enough to hear his upper neck melodies but not dominant. Bruce does a short “Yeaaaaah” thing, but not as annoying as before. Lets the crowd do it.
50 Years of IRON MAIDEN episode 13: Maiden England
A special 🅻🅸🆅🅴 episode
GRAB A STACK OF ROCK #103
50 Years of Iron Maiden arrives at the cottage for the first time! Like we have for past live albums such as Live At Hammersmith and Live After Death, Harrison and I will be doing this episode for Maiden England as a live broadcast. Much like Live At Hammersmith, this album often falls under the radar. It was recorded for a home video release, directed by Steve Harris. Unusually, this home video spawned one single, “Infinite Dreams” live. A live album was an afterthought and was not even released as one until Bruce Dickinson was out of the band in 1994, and even that CD was missing two songs from the VHS for time reasons. It was finally reissused as a full show in 2013; an expanded 2 CD set with the encores restored.
The band were recorded on the Seventh Tour of a Seventh Tour, over two nights in Birmingham, playing a number of new songs from the album. They also resurrected a couple from Somewhere In Time, and Piece of Mind, that were a delight to hear. Reaching back to the Di’Anno years, they provided a pleasing setlist full of fresh songs and refreshing oldies. Harrison and I will break it down for you, and hopefully entice you to give it a listen.
For physical media, we have a CD copy of the “Infinite Dreams” single from the First Ten Years box set, the 2013 double CD reissue, and the 1994 CD/VHS combo pack.
Please drop in and say hello for this special live analysis and appraisal!
🅻🅸🆅🅴 Friday May 23 at 7:00 P.M. E.S.T. Enjoy on YouTube and Facebook.
We have a busy week here at Grab A Stack of Rock HQ, and it all starts tonight with my 25th appearance on the Contrarians!
From the mind of Martin comes “You Can Hear This Cover!” Album covers that feel like you can actually hear what’s going on. There are a variety of albums from many genres that you will hear all about on tonight’s live show.
Then tomorrow, John Snow and I have an epic interview to record, that we can’t tell you about…
Growing up in an Italian family, we ate a lot of pasta. Usually it was the tried and true spaghetti and meatballs. Even though she’s not Italian, my mom makes a mean lasagna. These were always treats and delights to have for dinner, but as far as pasta went, nothing topped my Aunt Maria’s aglio e olio.
It’s very simple yet requires knowledge and the perfect touch. Aglio e olio is simply spaghetti in olive oil and garlic. It’s usually served with chili flakes and parsley or other herbs. As simple as it gets; no red sauce and no meat. If you do add meat, I recommend medium rare steak or garlic shrimp. It’s up to you; my sister Dr. Kathryn likes hers with mushrooms.
We looked forward to aglio with Aunt every time there was a special occasion. My aunt would often make a meal for the rest of the family, such as a ham, but also make a batch of aglio special for me. We had it for birthdays and we had it for visits. Try as we might, we never could quite get the recipe right at home. The recipe had been passed down from her mother, and she made it better than most restaurants. There were tricks to it, as it turns out, that I had completely missed.
Aunt never added meat to her aglio. She never had to. The garlic was always soft and golden, and the overall gestault of the pasta gave an aura of umami even without meat. You could add kalamata olives if you wanted to keep it vegan but add even more saltiness.
I attempted many variations of this at home, all failures. I tried cheating and using garlic olive oil, or enhancing the pasta with garlic powder. Awful! I added vegetables and cheeses in the effort to bring in more flavour, never matching my aunt’s perfection. I would phone them at their home in Stratford and ask for tips. Obviously something was getting lost in translation, because it always came out bland.
And they said it was the simplest one! Indeed, look at an Italian restaurant’s menu and aglio e olio is always the cheapest of the spaghettis. There’s hardly anything to it.
I thought the secret was to make sure you added some hot, starchy pasta water to the oily mixture of garlic and extra virgin olive oil. Simple enough. What I didn’t really understand until Saturday, May 18 2025 was that I was doing everything right, just not enough.
I was determined to get it right this time. I asked Jen to pick up a nice steak and some spaghetti and I was going to get aglio e olio right for a change. For the first time.
Dutifully she came home with a beautiful strip loin with a nice cap of fat, at 50% off because she knows exactly when during the week the meat goes on sale. I rubbed it with olive coil, sea salt, ground pepper, and a little Montreal steak spice for Jen. She likes it; I can do without except in light moderation. I chopped up a whole bulb of garlic into different sized chunks, for a variety of flavours and textures as you found them on your fork. I smooshed some. It varied.
Using my cast iron pan, I seared that steak on medium high on all four sides, and then let it cook a little longer after turning the heat down. I chopped some parsley and let the steak rest. It was a perfect medium rare, as I’d discover at the end when I finally sliced it. It was also perfectly seasoned.
I set a pot to boil, adding a little olive oil to the water (I understand this helps keep the spaghetti from sticking), and a lot of table salt. Not sea salt; table salt. I didn’t measure, but it was a lot.
“Aglio can’t be too salty;” I reasoned. Every time I made it in the past, I sought ways to up the saltiness, be it with meat or olives. Salting it at the table didn’t work. What I learned was, you have to salt the pasta by salting the water, generously. This is what will give the aglio its flavour later on, enhancing the garlic and finally making its presence known.
Once the water is at a vigorous boil, I throw in a whole package of spaghetti. I cracked the noodles in half and dumped them in the water. I put the lid on and they cooked quickly.
I already had a saucepan full of olive oil going at medium heat. Exactly three minutes after I put the spaghetti in the water, I dumped all my garlic in the olive oil, stirring frequently and ensuring it didn’t burn.
Always taste your spaghetti frequently to make sure it’s not going to be overcooked. That’s the worst. Instead, take the spaghetti out of the water about a minute before it’ll be at the perfect done-ness for you. As soon as I took my first taste of the not-yet-cooked noodles, I knew I was close. I hadn’t tasted that since my aunt made aglio at the cottage. It was so familiar. When the spaghetti was done, I drained it immediately. Key here is to save at least 1/2 cup of that salty, starchy pasta water, because you’re going to immediately transfer all the pasta into the saucepan with the garlic oil. Pour in the 1/2 cup of water and mix everything together in the saucepan, ensuring you coat every strand of spaghetti with that starchy garlic oil. Throw in some chili flakes and parsley. Add Parmesan cheese at the table to taste.
I threw some beautiful steak slices on top and served. My aunt’s recipe had been saved.
You see, my aunt has been suffering from Alzheimer’s for many years now. She can’t cook and wouldn’t be able to tell us the recipe anymore. It would have been lost. I saved it today. Let it be known, that on May 18 2025, I saved the Maria Ladano (Festoso) recipe for aglio e olio. It lives again.
I know that my aunt doesn’t understand what is happening to her right now, but I hope that her spirit would be gladdened to know that I have saved this classic recipe for all time. Here it is. I just wrote it down. It can never go away now.
Thank you Aunt Maria. For all the toy trucks, GI Joes and Transformers and CDs and tapes, the spaghetti was the best gift.
RECORD STORE TALES #1188: I Wanna Be A Lifeguard: Long Weekend at the Lake – May 2025
Jen and I were fortunate enough to spend a long weekend at the cottage, arriving Thursday night (May 8). As has been my goal for several seasons now, I try to do new things each time, when possible. This time, it was something out of the box.
Having become more comfortable working from home thanks to the pandemic, I asked my bosses if I could work from home Thursday afternoon, saving me 30 minutes of commute time and accumulating traffic, and getting to the lake that much faster.
“That’s a great idea, you should do that,” came the first response.
“Why don’t you just work the whole day from home?” came the second.
I was pleased to receive so much support. With that plan in motion, we hit the road at 4:30 sharp.
Unfortunately traffic was slow, and it took over two hours to get there, but imagine if we didn’t have that extra time. Music on the way up included Sing the Sorrow by AFI, to prepare for that Saturday’s show with D’Arcy Briggs, an album in review. Once we arrived, I hit the porch and rocked out to “I Wanna Be A Lifeguard” by Blotto. I delighted in emailing Broadway Blotto the video footage.
With coffee and snacks in hand, we were well prepared for a great weekend. Though cold, I did manage to spend a lot of time outdoors, with hoodie protecting me from the bitter breeze. All the snow was gone now, though only recently.
The next morning I went for a fly down to the river with my drone, and captured some wonderful footage.
Music: Blue Rodeo – “Dragging On”
At 8:15 AM, we headed out to get the best choices of steaks at the Beef Way. We chose two T-bones, some fry-pies, and for me, lake trout and duck legs. The duck legs made for a tasty lunch that afternoon. I wanted to do some kind of potato in duck fat, so I boiled two potatoes in hot water until they were soft, but still solid. I then got a grooved aluminium tray, and laid slices of potato in the grooves. I placed the seasoned legs on top and seasoned everything. When the duck fat started to render, the potatoes fried in it, making them so crispy with a pleasant accent to the flavour. In short, the best fries I ever made. And the duck legs weren’t bad either.
Sometimes at the cottage when it’s cold, you have to force yourself to be outside, so I pulled out some old Transformers toys (some vintage, some reissues) and did some fun photos on the front porch. I even experimented with filming one of the big ones from the air with my drone.
I had more changes to fly on the weekend, capturing incredible images of Lorne Beach, on the western coast of Lake Huron. The footage was some of the nicest I’ve managed to take.
Music: Bruce Cockburn – “Lovers In A Dangerous Time”
It is always fun editing these drone videos to music. This time it was all Canadian content and nothing too hard. There’s a line in “Lovers In A Dangerous Time” that has long resonated with me:
“Nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight, got to kick at the darkness ’til it bleeds daylight.”
Playing the song on the front porch that afternoon, I dedicated the song to a couple of friends who are dealing with health struggles. Raise your goblet and send some love to these friends.
I watched a lot of Doctor Who, ate too much meat, and had a great time feeling like a kid again. There was one eerie moment of déjà vu, and I absolutely love when these moments come. Usually the come when music was the trigger, but this time it was Doctor Who. I was watching some classic Tom Baker era episodes on Tubi, on my laptop on the front porch. As a kid, I always associated Doctor Who with Sunday nights. There would be a few episodes to watch (either Jon Pertwee or Tom Baker) before bed time, and back to school the next morning. As the day grew late and I started working on dinner, it felt like a Sunday night again. Family dinner as the sun was getting low. It was actually Friday, but the feeling of Sunday was uncanny. Do you ever get the Sunday blues? It was like that, but warmer because it was Friday and just a memory of happy childhood.
We didn’t see any wildlife, which was disappointing, but there’s always next time.
Seeking to avoid a Monday crash, I tried to place my mind in the right set. We drove home without much talking, but a steady soundtrack of Kiss. Rock and Roll Over, Love Gun, and Dynasty. When I really need to feel good, Kiss are usually a good band to go to. Nothing but good memories with Kiss.
As for the cottage, it is always sad saying goodbye, but we came home on Mother’s Day and had a nice visit with the folks, and a dinner on Dad. We’ll be back soon enough. And in fact, when we do return, we’ll be doing our first live episode of 50 Years of Iron Maiden from the cottage. Little things like that get me excited. I’ve already started packing.
I’m a bit of a perfectionist. I felt our episode on The First Ten Years box set by Iron Maiden was longer and more comprehensive. Harrison also felt the episode deserved some expansion. That’s why we did a live post-show chat after 50 Years of Iron Maiden last night.
An informal but semi-formatted chat, Harrison and I showed off a Japanese printing of the Purgatory / Maiden Japan CD that we forgot to show on the actual episode. We also brought you some interesting facts from the fine people at Reddit. This live bonus chat really is an essential part of the actual bonus episode. That sounds confusing, but you know what I mean.
We also delved a little into the solo careers of Blaze Bayley (thank you @darcyska for the question) and Bruce Dickinson. That tangent took us to the Ripper era of Judas Priest, and a discussion of the bleak 1990s. We foreshadowed some coming episodes in 50 Years of Iron Maiden. Next week will be a live show, and the first 50 Years of Iron Maiden episode to come to you live from the cottage. We are doing Maiden England next.
As an added bonus we, re-told the story of how I acquired this holy grail of a box set. We also ran a clip (Inception-style) that didn’t make it into our 100th episode, and finally a very special video showcasing the comedy of Jex Russell.
Thanks for watching, a shout-out to Henry Wright, John Clauser, Chris Sarre, Melissa Nee and D’Arcy Briggs for the comments. We’ll be back for more soon.
Check out the full show below.
In 1990, Iron Maiden reissued all their 20 singles/EPs (except The Soundhouse Tapes) individually, on CD and vinyl. Each CD and record held two singles/EPs. The only missing track was “Wrathchild” from Maiden Japan, which will be discussed in the episode. But what about the box itself? You could send away a special coupon for the box that holds them all, for either CD or vinyl formats. As the fortunate owner of this box set, we has to cover it in this bonus episode.
