Our guest today has been blazing a trail through the hard rock/punk/metal scene since his days growing up in South Lake Tahoe, California.
Most recognized as the long-standing bassist for the legendary godfather of shock rock, Alice Cooper...he’s paid his dues, and then some, relentlessly touring or writing, or both, with many other acts as well, such as the Eric Singer Project, L.A. Guns, and the late great Ronnie James Dio.
About a decade ago, stepping into the spotlight as a songwriter, vocalist and guitarist, he unleashed his unforgiving hard rock/metal band Beasto Blanco with guitarist Chris Latham and co-singer Calico Cooper. With a perfect cocktail of heavy riffs, driving bass, and melodic choruses, he and Beasto Blanco are set to tour this summer in support of their forthcoming studio release scheduled for July.
So if you call yourself a true metalhead, you're definitely gonna enjoy this interview with our friend, Chuck Garric.

and artists.
Although he is perhaps most frequently recognized as keyboardist and rhythm guitarist for the band Winger, he’s also played or written songs with other prominent names, such as, Eric Martin of Mr Big, Aldo Nova, Steve Perry of Journey, Alice Cooper, Tommy Shaw of Styx, the band Cinderella, and most recently, his songwriting can be heard on Mick Mars’s 2024 solo release, “The Other Side of Mars”.
