Reb Beach Guests on This Weeks Focus on Metal

Episode 223 - Focus on Reb Beach

Another in our series of career retrospective episodes, our guest this week is Whitesnake/Winger guitarist and all around good guy Reb Beach. We talk with Reb and go through a brief history of his career through a bunch of bands and catch up with what he's up to these days as well. Reb doesn't usually go these type of things so it was very cool of him to allow the Focus on Metal team to put him under the musical microscope. We hope you enjoy what he has to say.

Visit Reb's official site at: http://www.rebbeach.com/ you can also get him on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/RebBeach or follow him on Twitter https://twitter.com/realrebbeach
