Rock’n’roll is not Hollywood

Ian Paice did another phone-in interview, this time with WMOS that broadcasts out of Connecticut.

That painful Kindle

Ian Gillan is pulling into doing promo work for inFinite as well. This week he was a guest on the Rob Sas Rock Show (if this sound familiar, Paicey was featured on the show just a month ago). The interview starts at around 33 minutes into the show and the first part continues until 41 […]
