Crank it up to 11, because we are going to rock it with Ronny Valeo! We got the one and only Kenosha music legend to come out of hiding and sit down and talk about his life....
From his first guitar, to his factory job, to a certain thrash frontman breaking down in tears, Ronny Valeo recalls his life as the guitarist for alternative metal band Screamer and industrial metal band The Electric Hellfire Club, as well as owning Kenosha’s coolest record shop, Grand Central Records, with his brother Leonard – for 30 years!
Recommended rocking:
Screamer – “Outcast” from “Target Earth” (1988)
Electric Hellfire Club - “Where Violence Is Golden” from “Burn Baby Burn” (1993)
