RJP:Ep.16 – Brian Wheat & His Crazy Life with Tesla
Brian Wheat is best known as the bass guitar player for the multi-platinum rock band, Tesla. While you may not be familiar with him by name, Brian has enjoyed the spoils of success and lived the sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle. But it came at a cost, one that took years to repair. In his deeply honest and utterly revealing memoir, he sheds light on the many challenges he faces, including bulimia, weight issues, and the crippling anxiety and depression caused by his conditions.  In this episode we’ll talk about his new autobiography, Son of a Milkman My Crazy Life with Tesla, out on Tuesday, which includes stories of life on the road, collaborations and encounters with his friends in Def Leppard, David Lee Roth, Alice Cooper, Paul McCartney and more. Plus, a Wayne/Garth/Steven Tyler/Joe Perry reunion AND…Dave Grohl loves tacos!
