YTunes Shuffle with Quinton Flynn: Song Nuggets

QUINTON FLYNN is a voice actor extraordinaire! You've heard him as Raiden in “Metal Gear”, Reno in “Final Fantasy VII” also in the Crash Bandicoot video game series.

Here are the songs he brought to the show during his interview.

The Beatles “I Wanna Hold Your Hand”
Bob Dylan thought the line “I can't hide” was actually “I get high” like a marijuana reference. ACTUALLY, John, Paul, George and Ringo had never smoked pot. Dylan became forever a part of their history when he introduced them to it!


Ian Hunter “Cleveland Rocks”
There is some speculation that this was originally written as “England Rocks.” But Ian Hunter has interviewed many times about this song, saying that the coastal U.S. Didn't like the glam-rock scene (i.e. David Bowie and Roxy Music). Cleveland was the first place that his first band “Mott The Hoople” sold out a club and though Cleveland really was the coolest place!


American Noise-”Hollywood Boulevard”
This band signed a record deal with Planet Records (Elektra). The label couldn't promote this nationally and then Planet Records went out of business. They self-released one more song, “Statutory Sue.”


Todd Rundgren “Love Is The Answer”
Todd formed his band NAZZ in Philadelphia with drummer, Thom Mooney, and keyboard/vocals Robert Antoni. Their FIRST GIG was in July 1967 opening for THE FREAKING DOORS at the Town Hall in Philadelphia.


The Snozzberries “Pure Imagination”
This is our GUEST!
