Summary

Paul Shortino knows everyone in Rock and gladly talks about it. From coming close but not quite making it big at 17 years old, to starting his own recording studio, recording with Rough Cutt, Quiet Riot, Badd Boyz, and being brought under the wing of Ronnie James Dio. Avoiding Phil Spector and almost avoiding the Law, Paul Shortino looks back on a life in Rock and Roll and how it brought him to Rock Vault here in Las Vegas. "This is Spinal Tap" cast him as Duke Fame. Plus, he tells some great stories about being held up at the Canadian Border, getting left in a ladies room, and entering a hotel lobby completely naked.Learn more about your ad choices.
