I've always thought that Zebra was one of those bands that were highly underrated in the 80s. Overshadowed by the Hair Bands of the era, they put out some solid albums, and did hop on big tours, but never garnered the following I thought they should've.

Their new record called V drops on November 13th, the first new album in 23 years. Many of the song are from decades ago, that Randy and the guys brushed off and recorded for the record. Songs co-written by Paul Stanley of KISS, and even Snake and Rachel of Skid Row. We discuss some of the 13 songs, several of which might be considered love songs, with one anti-love song.

Randy told me a hilarious story about getting into a fight with a naked Guy Gelso (The band's drummer) in the late 70s. He even talked about playing gigs on Long Island with Twisted Sister.

And, Yes, there's a Zebra documentary in the works.

A huge thanks to Randy for the time, and to you for listening!
