    Brian Tichy Talks Led By Vultures, Van Halen, Whitesnake & More | RadioBypass

    Brian Tichy has spent decades behind the drum kit with some of Rock and Roll's biggest names, including Whitesnake, Billy Idol, and more. Now he's stepping into the spotlight with his own band, Led By Vultures! Brian returns to RadioBypass for an extensive, candid conversation about the creation of the Led By Vultures debut album, stepping out front as a guitarist and vocalist, and why he finally decided it was time to make the music he'd been dreaming about for years. We talk about the Van Halen tribute performance that helped push him forward, his experiences with Whitesnake, recording and producing the album, the inspiration behind songs including "Straight To The Bottom" and "Better Left Behind," and his approach to covering Red Rider's "Lunatic Fringe." Brian also shares stories about performing with Don Felder, discusses the possibility of taking Led By Vultures on the road, and gives us a fascinating look into his songwriting process. And because this is RadioBypass, we don't just talk about the music—we play it! We finish our conversation with the Led By Vultures track "Below the Clouds of Jupiter," a song that made a lasting impression on us from the very first listen. Discover the music.
