JOHN DIVA & THE ROCKETS OF LOVE are here to take us back to the carefree days and party-hard nights of when Hair Metal ruled the airwaves and our hearts. Diva and his cohorts recently released their third studio album The Big Easy, through Steamhammer/SPV. The album could have easily set the soundtrack of our 1987 childhood. I had the chance to speak with frontman John Diva to find out more about it.
Highlights include:
-Discussion of new album The Big Easy
-How the band formed
-Playing Wacken before they had original material
-Returning to producer Michael Voss (MAD MAX)
-Signing with Steamhammer/SPV
-The Big Easy Tour 2023
-Comparisons to STEEL PANTHER
-Crazy rockstar behavior
-Would Diva consider a solo album?
-And much, much more
