Record Producer Tom Werman (Cheap Trick, Mötley Crüe, Poison, Twisted Sister, Molly Hatchett, Ted Nugent) [Episode 169]

Legendary record producer Tom Werman is this episode’s guest. His new book is called <i>Turn It Up!: My Time Making Hit Records In The Glory Days Of Rock Music (Featuring Mötley Crüe, Poison, Twisted Sister, Jeff Beck, Ted Nugent, Cheap Trick, And More).</i> <br /><br />As an A&amp;R man at Epic Records, Werman helped introduce the world to REO Speedwagon, Boston, Ted Nugent, and Cheap Trick; he also discovered KISS, Rush, and Lynyrd Skynyrd, but his record label passed on all of them. As an independent producer, he oversaw landmark albums by Mötley Crüe (<i>Shout At The Devil</i>), Twisted Sister (<i>Stay Hungry</i>), Lita Ford (<i>Dangerous Curves</i>), Jeff Beck (<i>Live With Jan Hammer</i>), Poison (<i>Open Up And Say … Ahh!</i>), and many more. All in all, his record-making résumé includes twenty-three gold- or platinum-selling albums and sales of more than fifty-two million copies. Here’s here to talk about the bands he discovered and the classic albums he produced, including some inside stories behind the recording process!<br /><br /><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Turn-Up-Records-Featuring-Twisted/dp/1911036343" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Purchase a copy of <i>Turn It Up!: My Time Making Hit Records In The Glory Days Of Rock Music</i></a><br /><br /><a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5FMh7Hb3eNXnuxV4OJoStY?si=b7e3a97a092b45a1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Episode Playlist</a> <br /><br /><a href="https://www.tomwerman.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Visit TomWerman.com</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.bookedonrock.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BookedOnRock.com</a> <br /><br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbqUFiA-IGq97wkB5FEJB4Q" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Booked On Rock YouTube Channel</a> <br /><b></b><br /><b>Follow The Booked On Rock with Eric Senich:</b><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/bookedonrockpodcast" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">FACEBOOK</a><br /><a href="https://www.inst
