Davey Johnstone interview with Ryan Roxie:
Just came across another excellent new (June 30, 2020) interview with Davey Johnstone. Ryan Roxie did this one-hour-plus interview and features superb questions and insight and is well worth watching. It was kindly uploaded onto YouTube at:

Those who know Alice Cooper will know that Ryan Roxie plays guitar in Alice's band and that Davey also played in Alice's band and on the album FROM THE INSIDE (1978) and played in his touring band from the late 70s until the early 80s.
By the way, Alice Cooper's FROM THE INSIDE album not only featured Davey but also Dee Murray, Kiki Dee, Fred Mandel and musicians who EJ would use in his early 80s albums such as Steve Lukather and Steve Pocaro. This album also featured Dennis Conway on drums who played in Elton's surprise retirement announcement concert in London in 1977. Dennis was in the band China for the concert and what were to be follow-up concerts. China was the band featuring Davey and James Newton Howard. China released an interesting debut record in 1977 with some decent tracks. OK, enough rambling...check out the interview.
Enjoy!
