Welcome to one more episode of this metal and rock podcast, where the legendary Riki Rachtman joins us! Riki is no stranger to rock and metal, having hosted MTV's iconic Headbangers Ball from 1990 to 1995. During his tenure, he brought the best of heavy metal and hard rock to audiences worldwide, showcasing bands that defined the era. However, many people who were part of the music scenes from the 80s and 90s knew Riki, not only from the Headbangers Ball. He was also the co-owner of the infamous Cathouse nightclub in the famous Hollywood. That club became synonymous with the excess and debauchery of the late 1980s and early 1990s rock scene. The Cathouse club was a cultural phenomenon where bands such as Faster Pussycat, Guns N' Roses, and Alice Cooper often performed unannounced, adding to its mystique. In this episode, Riki shares some incredible stories about his time at Headbangers Ball and the Cathouse. He also talks about his recent projects and initiatives, including his passion for motorcycles. Riki even touches on his connection to bands like Twisted Sister, reflecting on the wild times they shared. So, please sit back and enjoy as Riki takes us on his journey through the highs and lows of rock history. --- ?
