OUT NOW! Streaming everywhere. “It’s Only Rock N’ Roll”. Think of “It’s Only Rock ’n’ Roll” as Michael Des Barres’ musical autobiography, the soundtrack of his youth and the songs that shaped him in the spirit of classic cover albums like Bowie’s Pin Ups or Bryan Ferry’s These Foolish Things, both released within weeks of one another in October, 1973. That places it smack in the middle of the dozen covers on this album, all originally released between 1971 and 1975 (with the exception of the Velvet Underground’s “I’m Waiting for My Man,” which was arguably the inspiration for everything that followed on this collection).

Watch the new episode of Chief Guitar Officer and learn about Michael Des Barres - a true rock & roll survivor. Michael’s consistent message of love and positivity comes through loud and clear in this fun, entertaining and deeply interesting discussion with CGO, where we cover:
…his new album “It’s Only Rock N’ Roll” (available October 11, 2024) - a love letter to early 1970’s glam rock featuring (12) important and meaningful hand-picked cover songs; why the notion that “rock & roll is dead” is ludicrous; the real meaning behind rock & roll and why he has rediscovered a juvenile adolescent view of it.
Plus…his acting roles in iconic shows like Miami Vice with Don Johnson and playing Murdoc in “MacGyver” and films like “Sugartown”; how in 1985, after his song “Obsession” by Animotion (co-written with the great Holly Knight) was a hit all over the world, he was asked to join the Power Station (with John Taylor and Andy Taylor of Duran Duran and Tony Thompson of Chic) to replace Robert Palmer at the last minute, and perform at Live Aid in front of 2 BILLION people - and then do the tour!
MDB also talks about his sobriety and co-founding of Rock Against Drugs (where Ozzy Osbourne showed up on drugs!); his upbringing in English boarding schools and developing his love of reading along with the blues; the impact of Elvis; how Merck Mercuriadis of Hipgnosis helped him land his current record deal with Rock Ridge Music; his current band featuring Eric Schermerhorn on guitar (Iggy Pop), Paul Ill on bass and David Goodstein on drums (Linda Perry); and the significance of the guitar as a powerful and iconic religious-like symbol, featuring his cool black Gibson Les Paul as an example!
