Fans In Motion Ep 179: Interview w/DAMN YANKEES & NIGHT RANGER Producer RON NEVISON Part One!
Description
oin me this week as I dive into the electrifying world of classic rock production in this must-listen episode, where I sit down with Grammy-nominated maestro Ron Nevison—the engineering & producing wizard behind some of the biggest albums in music history. Many of us know Ron as the producer the fantastic Damn Yankees records and the Night Ranger reunion record “Neverland”! These episodes cover it all! From his early days cutting his teeth on The Who’s explosive Quadrophenia (complete with wild tales of Keith Moon’s chaotic genius and Pete Townshend’s quadraphonic vision) to engineering Led Zeppelin’s monumental Physical Graffiti alongside Jimmy Page’s meticulous studio sorcery, Ron pulls back the curtain on the high-stakes sessions that defined an era. But that’s just the warmup: Hear how Ron resurrected Heart’s career with powerhouse hits like “Alone” and “These Dreams,” tamed the bombast of KISS’s Crazy Nights, and infused Ozzy Osbourne’s The Ultimate Sin with razor-sharp edge. With over 100 million albums sold and Billboard’s Top-5 Producer nods under his belt, Ron shares unfiltered stories of clashing egos, technical triumphs, and the raw magic of capturing lightning in a bottle—from Bad Company’s gritty debuts to Damn Yankees’ arena anthems. Whether you’re a die-hard Zeppelin fan or just love the untold stories of rock’s golden age, this episode is your backstage pass to the sounds that still shake the world. Tune in for laughs, legends, and lessons from a lifetime in the mix.
