L.A. Guns drummer Shawn Duncan credits Keith Moon and Tupperware as early inspirations. He joins us to discuss his musical childhood in Los Angeles (including his father’s world-famous, sports-arena anthem); early gigs by future stars Motley Crue, City Kidd (Tesla) and Dante Fox (Great White); and how W.A.S.P. guitarist Chris Holmes upgraded his first “real” band, Odin, to Hollywood headliners (and how Odin, in turn, “may” have “fueled” Holmes’ notorious pool scene in “Decline of Western Civilization Pt.II: The Metal Years”). Plus, why Phil Lewis is the best singer he’s ever worked with and how his love of cooking fed various Hollywood stars, including Bruce Willis.
