106.7 WLLZ: Detroit's Wheels (Classic Rock) is here

[RayQix]

Day 3......

Still a tweak’n.......

Heard Rafferty on there last nite.

Wasn’t he doing an air shift on WNIC recently?

I think like any good product, you’re out-the-gate with something, and tweaking it along the way to make it better.

It’s one reason I do not like “first year after model change” vehicles. I’ve had a couple (94 dodge RAM & 08 Jeep Liberty) that had a lot of issues/bugs and they got fixed “eventually” in the later years but not to my liking.

No, I don’t have those vehicles anymore either.

At any rate..... weekend..... will be different than the M-F shifts.

Wondering what’s gonna be the main Morning Show on this one, or is it gonna be Imported from Elsewhere?

While I was listening seemed to be a lot of arena rock, hair metal, grunge, and post-grunge. So mostly 80's through 90s, with a few 70's classics
Don't think they will be playing much blues rock, prog rock, glam rock, psychedelic rock, or punk rock

Almost!



Terrestrial radio lacks new ideas. The people who've been in the business 30 or 40 years are not creative thinkers. And because young guns are paid such low salaries, there is a dearth of fresh blood with fresh thinking.

Not necessarily true at all. There are plenty of burnt out veterans for sure, and the creative ones are rarely allow to be creative thanks to the Lew Dickeys and ihearts of the world.
Most of the so called 'young guns' aren't flocking to radio, they're flocking to digital. We all wanted to be jocks when I was coming up, now kids want their own youtube or twitch stream.

I would love to hear more guitar rock like Kenny Wayne Sheppard,StevieRay Vaughn,Joe Satriani-summer song,Hendrix- cross town traffic/hey joe, Yngwie Malmsteen- heaven tonight, Nugent--dog eat dog,little miss dangerous,out of control,fred bear

Some southern rock-----Blackfoot--Train train and highway song,Molly Hatchet--whiskyman/flirtin with disaster,Skynard--gimme back my bullets,mr breeze, Jackyl--down on me/lumberjack

A few off the top of my head...........

I've been watching the WLLZ playlist and listening on and off and haven't heard a single song by Seger.

That's a bad thing???

For real, I heard Old Time R&R yesterday.

Seger isnt the New Generation of Classic Rock just as my list above isnt.Thats how I define it.

Tweaking will come alot more after a couple of books.I believe they will do what it takes to make this work since Alice/the Drive/the Fox/the Beat/the D and Alt were all failures..................

Seeing the responses above, and knowing it would never go down, I've created a couple hour show for a weekend night that focuses on late 70s and 80s lost AOR cuts that haven't seen the light of day in years. A slight flashback to the Wheels of yore.

Alcatrazz "Island in the Sun"
Night Ranger "Don't Tell Me You Love Me:
Touch "Don't You Know What Love Is"
Billy Squier "The Big Beat"
Steel Breeze "You Don't Want Me Anymore"
Sammy Hagar "Your Love is Driving Me Crazy"
i-ten "Alone" (original version, pre Heart)

Things like that. They would never make a day to day playlist, but given the heritage of the station, perhaps a couple hours late Saturday or Sunday would be cool!

Yngwie Malmsteen is about a MILLION TIMES BETTER axe-man than Dedly Tedly ...and not,so far as I know,a stupid reactionary dotard like the Nuge .(How bout some Rory Gallagher or Robin Trower,new WLLZ dudes ? )

I just heard Pink Floyd followed by Butthole Surfers. This isnt the "next generation of classic rock". Its multiple generations. Bands like Queen and Pink Floyd had good multi-generational appeal. Not so sure about Foreigner or even AC/DC. Whats the target demo? I dont think Foreigner fans want to hear 90s alt-rock and a lot of 90s fans dont want Dads music besides the aforementioned bands who pulled off a generational crossover.
