Bob rock is a legendary record producer, sound engineer, and a musician. He is well known for producing bands like METALLICA, MOTLEY CRUE, AEROSMITH, OFFSPRING and SIMPLE PLAN. He also worked with BONJOVI, CHER, DAVID LEE ROTH, SKID ROW and many more.
Bob began his music career in Langford, British Columbia (a suburb of Victoria) as a guitarist playing with friends William Alexander and Paul Hyde in the former's household basement. After high school graduation, Bob left Victoria and became the co-founder of the Payola$, who became well known with the success of their '80s hit, "Eyes of a Stranger", which was used as part of the soundtrack of the movie Valley Girl starring Nicolas Cage. In 1983, the Payola$ won the Juno Award for Single of the Year. Rock also worked as an assistant at Little Mountain Sound in Vancouver. In 1987, the Payola$ (who had by then changed their name to Paul Hyde and the Payolas) again changed their name to Rock and Hyde and had a hit single in Canada with the song "Dirty Water". The song also charted on Billboard's Hot 100. In 2007, the Payola$ reclaimed their irreverent band name and once again became active as a touring and recording act, releasing the EP Langford Part One.
Bob's career both as a producer and musician was recognized at the 2007 Juno Awards Ceremony in Saskatoon for his lifetime contribution to popular music. He was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame by the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS).
Bob is a musical craftsman whose wide range of talents show no signs of slowing, He has helped to define rock music as we know it today.
