    Sean Manning - Guitarist - The Exiles, Little Women (Quiet Riot), Hurricane

    Send us Fan Mail Non-Stop Rock Talk welcomes guitarist Sean Manning to discuss his latest release with The Exiles entitled, 'Turning Time' via Bad Reputation Records. An album which falls in line to the vintage music we all love from the 70's. The comparisons to Bad Company, Free and Led Zeppelin all apply. It's well worth a listen. Even better through headphones. It will sonically blow your mind.  The first single 'Rainmaker' is discussed. Sean eludes to all the inner workings of the song. Legendary White Lion drummer Greg D'Angelo is discussed and what he brought to the song. The Cult's 'Sonic Temple' album is brought up as an influence when the song was written.  Sean talks about his long relationship with Dio guitarist Rowan Robertson dating back to before playing with Ronnie James Dio. It was Sean's influence that persuaded Rowan to send in a tape and get an audition. We all know how that turned out.  Sean also discusses working with Kevin Dubrow. He eludes to the fact as to why the band at the time was called Little Women, not Quiet Riot. Sean wrote songs for the bands 'Terrified' album which in Non-Stop Rock Talk's opinion - the best Quiet Riot release. It was a pleasure for Tyson to get to discuss this period in Kevin and Quiet Riot's career in the early to mid 90's. It is also brought up that Sean had worked a bit with Paul Shortino and Sean McNabb in Badd Boyz before joining Kevin.  The conversation even goes deeper as Sean discusses the last time he spoke to Kevin Dubrow back in 2007 before his untimely death.  Sean talks about his time working with Hurricane, replacing Doug Aldrich who was working with House of Lords. This then led to the initial formation of The Exiles. There is some really in depth conversation as Sean reveals that himself and former Megadeth guitarist Jeff Young briefly played together in Hurricane. Drummer Jay Schellen then left to join Unruly Child.  From there - The Exiles started with Sean, Kelly Hanson, James Lomenzo and Greg D'Angelo, but that was not to last as Kelly would go onto work with Poison guitarist C.C. Deville in Needle Park. Sean then met singer Paul Rafferty and the rest is history.  There is so much history within this interview. It was a pleasure for Non-Stop Rock Talk to discuss Sean's experiences. The timeline of a lot of the content was the early to mid 90's where so many bands and artists struggled to still be relevant. A must listen!! Support the show www.nonstoprocktalkrocks.com
