“All you have is memories… and those memories stick with me forever.” Original Faster Pussycat guitarist Greg Steele joined me for an in-depth conversation about the history of Faster Pussycat, the Sunset Strip era, writing the band’s biggest hit “House of Pain,” the breakup of the band in 1993, and the memories that still stay with him decades later. Check out my interview with Faster Pussycat guitarist Brent Muscat: • Brent Muscat Tells All: The Real Faster Pu... In this exclusive interview, Greg speaks openly about the early days of Faster Pussycat, the songwriting process behind “House of Pain,” life during the height of the glam metal explosion, and what eventually led to the band falling apart.
