When I clicked the link to his song submission, I fell in love with his single <em>Stranded<\/em>. I love the song and the live video kills! Of course, the first question I asked Bill Zucker was for him to give me the back story behind this song.<\/p>\n<p>Turns out, Bill Zucker told me the song has quite a history: \u201cThis is an older song of mine that keeps on coming back to haunt me, because no matter what I do new, people come back and say \u2018There\u2019s something about that song, I just love it.\u2019 The original studio version was recorded before I formed the Bill Zucker Band. I played all the instruments. Each member of the Bill Zucker Band is someone I\u2019ve had my eye on for years. After I formed the band, I took off my guitar tracks and replaced them with parts by the two guitar players in my band.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Who\u2019s in the Bill Zucker Band? Bill Zucker sings lead vocals and plays acoustic and electric guitars, piano, synthesizer, drums and harmonica. Sean Harrison is also lead vocal and plays percussion, some guitar and keyboards. Tony Marvici plays guitar; Joe Boyle also plays guitar. Donald Main sings and plays piano and synthesizers. Lenny Roberto is on drums and percussion. Steve Earnheart plays bass guitar. Dee Micaud and Kelley Leigh sing backing vocals. Terry Sanger plays sax and sings vocals. Wow, what a lineup!<\/p>\n<p>Bill Zucker is dying to play live and tour with his band: \u201cThey would kick ass on tour! It\u2019s tough. The music business is in such a bad state right now. Record companies are folding and joining each other. The economy has made it so people don\u2019t have the money to go out to a concert. People are downloading music for free. The money is drying up. That\u2019s one of the reasons I\u2019m also an actor and a comedian on the side.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3575\" src=\"http:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Bill-Zucker-Half-the-Man-cover-225x225.jpg\" alt=\"Bill Zucker - Half the Man cover\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Bill-Zucker-Half-the-Man-cover-225x225.jpg 225w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Bill-Zucker-Half-the-Man-cover-225x225-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Bill-Zucker-Half-the-Man-cover-225x225-38x38.jpg 38w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Bill-Zucker-Half-the-Man-cover-225x225-186x186.jpg 186w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Bill-Zucker-Half-the-Man-cover-225x225-184x184.jpg 184w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>I also love the romantic rock ballad starring Jenny McCarthy for the single <em>Half the Man<\/em>. I had to know if this song was about a real-life relationship. Bill Zucker admitted: \u201cIt is, but it\u2019s not about a relationship with Jenny. We quickly put that video together. That video, not that it\u2019s my favorite, is a feel good video. When she\u2019s spinning around at the end, after we get back together, it makes you feel good. As a writer, if I can get an emotion out of someone, then I know I\u2019ve accomplished my goal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Believe it or not, Bill Zucker is a romantic: \u201cA lot of people want grungy rock, where you can\u2019t understand the lyrics. I go for songs where you can relate to the lyrics and they hit you in the heart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I did not know this, until Bill told me, that he did not know Jenny McCarthy before the video: \u201cI still can\u2019t figure out why she came after me and asked to be in that video. There\u2019s a video on YouTube of Jenny dressed like a nun McCarthy apologizing to me for stalking me so badly. She did it to screw with my head. That\u2019s when we became friends. She is the nicest person in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bill Zucker is currently writing a comedy movie with a role for Jenny McCarthy: \u201cI\u2019m writing a comedy movie that is a parody of James Bond, and I put her in the move as agent 0069. She\u2019s my partner. The script is really coming together, and it\u2019s a seriously funny movie and the name is <em>Thunderballs<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Music really is where Bill Zucker\u2019s heart is: \u201cWhen I was younger, I was always writing songs. I never played other people\u2019s music. I went to Berklee College of Music. Music is an important part of my life. I just don\u2019t take it seriously enough or I\u2019d be on tour right now. I\u2019ve had a lot of opportunities, where companies wanted to sign me for a record deal, and I said, \u2018Nah, I don\u2019t want this headache. My music\u2019s personal.\u2019 As I get older, I realize I\u2019m an idiot. Now, things are heading that way, whether I like it or not. I\u2019m getting ready to rehearse the band and put a great show together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3577\" src=\"http:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Bill-Zucker-concert-225x225.jpg\" alt=\"Bill Zucker concert\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Bill-Zucker-concert-225x225.jpg 225w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Bill-Zucker-concert-225x225-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Bill-Zucker-concert-225x225-38x38.jpg 38w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Bill-Zucker-concert-225x225-186x186.jpg 186w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Bill-Zucker-concert-225x225-184x184.jpg 184w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>I asked Bill Zucker if he felt that his being a well-known Hollywood entertainer has helped or hurt his career as a recording artist: \u201cDefinitely hurt. I\u2019m my own worst enemy. Any agent that\u2019s approached me has said to me, \u2018Bill, you\u2019re a comedian, you\u2019re a serious actor, you\u2019re a singer-songwriter that writes funny songs and you also write serious songs. Pick one thing and let\u2019s make it work.\u2019 I can\u2019t pick, because I love it all. Eventually, I see myself touring and doing movies on the side or doing movies and touring on the side.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now that Bill has formed a band and he\u2019s more serious about his music, what advice does he have for other recording artists? \u201cIf there was a formula that I could give, I would. I really think it\u2019s about doing what\u2019s in your heart and being prepared for when opportunity crosses your way. Make sure you grab that opportunity, because sometimes lightning won\u2019t strike twice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bill Zucker believes that writing music should not feel like work: \u201cIf I\u2019m struggling with a song, that means I\u2019m working too hard and it\u2019s not going to be magical. For example, the song that I wrote for Gene Simmons and Shannon for their wedding wrote itself in two minutes. I sat down and the words just poured out of me. I literally wrote the words down, went into the studio and the music was already stuck in my head. I recorded the song, and when we went to make the video, the editor finished editing in 20 minutes. So, if it\u2019s like pulling teeth, you\u2019re on the wrong track.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To continue appealing to a mass market, Bill Zucker has to be careful about what he does: \u201cIf I have a girl in my video that looks young, I\u2019ll hear about it. You have to also be careful about the things you say too. Knowing that I have a half million people following me on Twitter, I\u2019m smart enough not to bring up religion or politics. I have to be politically correct.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bill Zucker also recommends fan appreciation and positivity: \u201cMy fans know that I seriously love them; they\u2019re my family. I appreciate everything everyone does to help me, because I believe you are nothing without your fans. I do my best to make people feel positive. I have no room for negativity. I\u2019m known as the most positive guy on Twitter; I\u2019m the non-spam guy. I could be making money spamming fans, but I refuse. I want it done right. I want it done with class. I don\u2019t believe the school of thought that says it doesn\u2019t matter how you get there. I cleaned up my act and, since I\u2019ve been living that way, all these good things are coming.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s up next musically for Bill Zucker? \u201cIf you know anyone who books tours, I\u2019d like you to get a hold of Cynthia or myself and get the Bill Zucker Band on tour. The band rocks and the show is phenomenal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m going to help any way I can. I wish you all the best Bill Zucker. &lt;3 U<\/p>\n<p>Amused Now ReverbNation Contest Winners<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3576\" src=\"http:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Bill-Zucker-and-guitar-224x275.jpg\" alt=\"Bill Zucker and guitar\" width=\"224\" height=\"275\" \/>Bill Zucker<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.reverbnation.com\/billzucker\" target=\"_blank\">ReverbNation<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/billzucker\" target=\"_blank\">@BillZucker<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MrBillZucker\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cynthia Kahn, Founder of Amused Now<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/amused_now\" target=\"_blank\">@Amused_Now<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AmusedNow\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/amusednow\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/amused-now\/id916561789\" target=\"_blank\">iTunes<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/soundcloud.com\/amusednow\" target=\"_blank\">SoundCloud<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was already a big fan of rocker, comedian and actor Bill Zucker, before I noticed his entry to our ReverbNation contest.
