ATTENTION BLABBERMOUTH/SLEEZEROXX/EVERYONE!  In this video Glen “Archie” Gamble of Helix fame tells us all about the 1974 Canadian Kiss TV appearance on a show called Boogie that he knows for a fact exists and could be released soon.  Interview and possible lipsynched performance video.

Also, we talked to Archie about Helix and the Joys quite a bit.  In summation, here are some show highlights:

  1. Archie educates us on primate communication (question from Dr. K.)
  2. He explains why we likely won’t see a CD release of the Helix 30th Anniversary concert.
  3. He enjoyed stories from two special video stories from Dan Chartrand and Uncle Meat, who opened for Archie when he was in the Joys.
  4. Kiss Alive, or Alive II?
  5. Stories about Eric Singer, Gene Simmons and lap dancers.
  6. Feelings on Bun E. Carlos and Joey Kramer being sidelined in their bands.
  7. Playing the drums with dynamics.
  8. Why are The Warning the hot rising band these days.

Grant Arthur from Grant’s Rock Warehaus was co-host for this special episode.  Thanks for coming on Grant!  Grant riffed along with us and asked some pertinent questions.  Archie answered everything with grace.

Thanks for watching everyone, it was a lively comments section with some great questions (and jokes at Grant’s expense).  For Archie’s previous episode, click here!

Happy Friday!  Not only is Archie Gamble (Helix, the Joys, Buffalo Brothers) back for this episode, but we plan to have some fun.  We’ll be asking him the questions that we never got to ask last time, and of course, we’ll let Archie ramble!

Our special co-host tonight will be Grant Arthur from Grant’s Rock Warehaus.  Thanks for filling in, Grant!

Considering our first chat with Archie went almost two hours, this time we’ll be focused on fun.  Tales from the road, tales from the studio, and beyond!  Who’s been rocking Archie’s speakers lately besides The Warning?  Find out tonight…

EXCLUSIVE: Glen “Archie” Gamble of Helix fame sets the record straight on Grab A Stack of Rock!

Thank you Glen “Archie” Gamble for an awesome Friday night Rock N’ Roll Extravaganza!

History made here Friday night on Grab A Stack of Rock!  Glen “Archie” Gamble of Helix fame joined us for almost 2.5 hours of stories and education.  And we’re still not done!  We will have Archie back to pick up where we left off.  Co-hosts Tim Durling and Doctor Kathryn were both blown away by Archie’s answers.

It’s hard to summarize a show like this, because several Wikipedia articles will need to be corrected, updated, and expanded after this show.

Highlights:

  • The story of how Archie introduced Brian Vollmer to the Trailer Park Boys, which of course led to Brian’s cameo on the DVD.
  • Why Archie wasn’t in that scene.
  • When Archie connected Brian Vollmer with Sean Kelly, who offered to join Helix on guitar or bass.  He eventually joined on bass.
  • How Archie got the Helix gig by playing at Brian’s wedding, and how that came about.  (Thanks to alcohol.)
  • What happened at the “blazing” tryout for the band.
  • The circumstances of replacing Randy Cooke for one gig with the Four Horsemen.
  • The lineup changes in Helix and the necessity behind some of them.
  • Archie’s opinion on certain bands who are out there playing with no original members.
  • What he contributed in the studio to albums such as Rockin’ In My Outer Space and Rockin’ You For 30 Years.
  • How Rockin’ In My Outer Space began its life as a Brian Vollmer solo album.
  • Thoughts on Van Halen (Hagar), Y&T, The Warning, Quiet Riot, The Guess Who, and many more.
  • Heartfelt appreciation for Greg “Fritz” Hinz.
  • Why he started YouTubing with the excellent Gamble Ramble channel.
  • What are rototoms and how do they work?
  • And even some education on primates.

This is a 2.5 hour education in rock and roll history.  Check it out, and give Archie a subscription on YouTube.  He WILL be back!
