Richie Ranno is an American rock guitarist best known for his work in the 70’s bands Starz and Stories. He’s toured and performed alongside other legendary acts of the era such as Kiss, Pat Travers, ZZ Top, Peter Frampton, Ted Nugent, Foghat, Blue Oyster Cult, Bob Seger, Aerosmith, REO Speedwagon, Styx, Black Oak Arkansas, Johnny Winter, The Eagles, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Angel, Jeff Beck & Jan Hammer, just to name a few. He was one of three guitarists invited to audition to replace Ozzy Osbourne’s guitarist Randy Rhoads after his tragic death in 1982.
In today’s episode of GIG NIGHTMARES, Richie reflects on record label mismanagement, disillusionment with a "producer"’s drug habits in the studio, radio airplay payola, and how a disastrous music video shoot may have changed the course of Starz’s career.
