So THAT'S who Desmond Child is, and what he looks like! As a rock fan for decades (i'm 57), i've always seen his name on albums or 45's, but never 'got to know him'. This video fantastically filled in the blanks! He is a legend!

so without this guy Bon Jovi would probably be stocking shelves at WallMart today

This interview needed to be longer. They didn't talk about the fact that his real name is not Desmond Child. He made a fantastic solo album back in the mid nineties. He's in fact of Cuban descent. Desmond Child is a fascinating cat.

I remember seeing this guys name in almost every record I bought as a kid.

Desmond is a story teller. I think that's the best kind of songwriter.

Today the title would be "Dude Looks Like A Walrus"

That dude wrote or co-wrote so many great songs. I always read his name credited somewhere on my albums and asked myself who he is. No internet for me back then. ^^

"It takes 4000 songs to make 10 good ones" love that...

Let's face it; this man killed rock music! Some tunes, but a murderer nontheless.

I think I could listen Desmond talking for a whole week without interrupting!!

Dude's net worth is $200 Million.

It takes 4000 KZread channels before I find pure solid gold

The "Dude" story is the funniest. What's even funnier is that Aerosmith was a big influence on the Crue.

80 Top 40 songs is some achievement. Unreal 👏.

I feel like this is a condensed course in songwriting. Desmond is a modern day songwriting legend.

As a songwriter I only have awe and respect for this man.

Alice Cooper's Poison is incredibly musically sophisticated.

I love how he explained a little of his thought process so humbly! One of my all-time favourite songwriters!

Behold....The Architect of all our favorite Pop Rock songs! Tip of the hat to you , Good Sir

400 songs to make one hit. I love that. Thank you Des that's probably the best motivator I've ever heard. I've written 100 and feel down but not anymore. Thanks!
