Wondering what this show is all about? We exhume obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal and place them in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. Kevin and Robert were both excited to have the opportunity to chat with Eric about the amazingly talented Mr. Big. We weren’t sure what we were in for when Eric sat down, and what we got was a hilarious and engaged guest that just happens to be huge in Japan (not to mention the awesome pipes in a band of some of the most talented players on the planet)! 

Songs this week include:

  1. Eric Martin – “Mission” from Working Man – A Tribute To Rush (1996)
  2. Eric Martin – “Spaceman” from I’m Goin’ Sane (2003)
  3. Eric Martin / Mr. Big – “One Way Out” from Caddyshack II – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1988)
