Steve Blaze is the guitarist, songwriter & founding member of the band Lillian Axe. The band burst on the scene in 1988 when their debut album was produced by Robbin Crosby of Ratt. Since then they have shared a stage with Poison, Alice Cooper and Motörhead and played huge shows like the Monsters of Rock Cruise & the M3 Rock Festival. They have a new album out soon called From Womb to Tomb that Steve is here to discuss. We also talk Jani Lane almost joining the band, how Steve helped Phil Anselmo join Pantera, missed opportunities with Sebastian Bach & Lita Ford and more!
