Music Junkies Podcast

Can you remember your first concert or the thrill of buying your first album? Our guest for this episode, the self-taught musician and radio personality, Ron Coolen, takes us down memory lane to his early experiences with music. He shares his affinity for heavy metal music, sparked off by his first album purchase, Boston's "Don't Look Back." A resident of Amsterdam, Ron is a family man who has chosen his passion for music over the city's famous nightlife.

Our journey through the world of heavy metal doesn't end there. We reflect upon the bands that have shaped our musical tastes over the years, from ACDC and Van Halen to the more modern bands like Slipknot and Korn. We explore the impact of singers joining established bands and consider the change it brings in the group dynamics and sound. Touching upon concerts, we reminisce about the magic of floor standing and shoulder rides, a lost tradition in the modern gig scene.

Ron continues to inspire us with his story of perseverance and passion. His journey from a dreamer to a successful musician is a testament to the power of following your dreams. We end our conversation with a sneak peek into Ron's upcoming album, symbolizing his commitment to continue creating music that people appreciate. Join us on this musical journey, it's filled with soulful stories and inspiration, all served with a heavy dose of rock'n'roll.
