Listen to Dan Reed’s interview with Cheetah Chrome of The Dead Boys

Cleveland punk rock icon Cheetah Chrome of The Dead Boys is very much alive and kicking, between his 2010 memoir Cheetah Chrome: A Dead Boy’s Tale From The Front Lines Of Punk Rock, his first-ever solo outing – aptly titled Solo – released in fall of 2013, and most recently, his contribution to You Don’t Know Me, a tribute compilation of songs by country music legend Eddy Arnold.

WXPN’s Dan Reed is a Cheetah fan, and on Tuesday the 7th of January, had him call into the XPN studio for an on-the-air interview. Listen to the entire interview below, and then after the jump, check out Chrome covering “What is Life Without Love” by Arnold and watch a vintage performance of The Dead Boys classic “Sonic Reducer.”
