On this week’s show, we’re joined by melodic rock Vocalist Ronnie Romero, an artist who got his name on the heavy metal map debuting as Singer of Richie Blackmore’s Rainbow, followed by an extensive stint with Michael Schenker. 
Raised in Chile, lived in Spain, and now resides in Romania, he is truly a Global musician & hands down is the hardest working man in the rock business! In 2023 alone he released his second all-covers album, toured Europe with the Rock Meets Classic ensemble, plus the band he co-leads with Richie Faulkner, Elegant Weapons, released their debut album & toured the European Summer festival circuit. And if that wasn’t enough, he’s just released his brand-new solo album “Too Many Lies, Too Many Masters”, a labor of love Ronnie put all of his heart & soul into!
 Ronnie shares a lot about his intentions for 2023 and in the future, as he takes his first big step into taking on all aspects of his musical career on his own, from the song writing to the producing, managing of his Brand, etc. & we take an in-depth look at the songs on the new album. Also, he talks all about the overwhelming response received from playing the new Elegant Weapons material to massive audiences, many who had likely never heard a song before & impromptu approach in selecting cover songs to add to the setlist.
Ronnie reveals just how he got into music (it was a family affair, as his Grandfather led a Big Band Orchestra & his Dad was the Crooner), the privilege of working with so many major artists in such a short period of his career, and how he’s been able to put out so much material in the last 10 years. 
In addition, we hear about his passion for CD shopping (something he still does on a regular basis as he travels the globe!), his philosophy for only picking deep cuts for his latest covers albums, how his wife ended up as the Model on the album covers, and he reveals a big answer to an important question sent in from a Listener about the future of Elegant Weapons. And of course, we couldn’t leave the conversation without talking about his experiences and impressions of both guitar gods (Blackmore & Schenker), as Ronnie reflects back on just what he learned from his mentors, plus he’s sharing a great story of his time playing soccer with the Rainbow crew.
Another example of a great, unique, conversation filled with in-depth anecdotes and disclosures found only here at Metal Mayhem ROC.
