💥 Buckle up, rock fans — this is one for the ages! In Part 1 of my interview with “Pyro” John Watkins, author of Don’t You Know Who I Think I Am?: Memoirs of a World-Class Smart-Ass (The Fantastic Adventures of Pyro John), we dive deep into the wildest stories in rock history straight from the man who lit up the stage — literally!
Pyro John shares incredible behind-the-scenes tales of working with Funk legend Rick James, the late Ace Frehley of KISS (including creating the Les Paul fire effects and Gene Simmons’ blood), and his days under Bill Graham, the most dangerous promoter in rock history.
We talk about Garth Brooks’ near-explosion mishap, Steven Adler’s hilarious moment, Sweet Connie from Little Rock, a backstage party with David Lee Roth, and the night Eddie Van Halen jumped on stage with Michael Jackson. Plus, Pyro reveals what it was really like working with Van Halen on multiple tours, including the legendary 5150 Tour — the greatest of his life.
