Episode 56: Rick Pierce of Q5, TKO, Nightshade & Rick Pierce Group

Rick Pierce is a founding member of the legendary Seattle hard rock, band TKO, whose debut release “Let It Roll” continues to cement the band’s cult-like status. Rick’s unique arsenal of guitar pyrotechnics provided the backbone of the unmistakable TKO sound.

Following his successful stint with TKO, Rick remained true to his metal roots and teamed up as lead guitarist for power metal band Q5 with Floyd Rose, acclaimed inventor of the Floyd Rose tremolo system.

In this episode, we talk with Rick about TKO and Q5 as well as his band after Q5, Nightshade and his latest project simply titled the Rick Pierce Group, where he’s teamed up once again with Floyd Rose (as songwriter & producer this time). Four RPG singles are now available on all the digital streaming platforms and a full album is finally on the horizon for early 2025 on Golden Robot Records.
