"How did Boston go from playing clubs to creating the fastest-selling debut album in rock history? In this exclusive interview, guitarist Barry Goudreau reveals the untold story behind the band’s incredible rise. Hear how Barry first met Brad Delp and Tom Scholz, the struggles to get signed and the chaos of going from playing nightclubs to headlining stadiums in just six months. Barry also shares amazing stories about the band’s iconic debut album, which has sold over 17 million copies and reflects on what it was like touring with Black Sabbath during their early days."

On touring with Black Sabbath

Goudreau: "One funny story: we had a day off , and at that point if you wanted to watch a movie in a (hotel) room, you'd phone down to the desk and they'd put it on your TV. Brad had a favourite horror movie so we figured we'd watch that, and we invited the guys from Black Sabbath to watch the movie (laughs). We're sitting in front of the TV - there was all this talk about Sabbath and Satan (at the time) - and Ozzy is sitting there with a trash can in front of him in case he throws up (laughs)."

Goudreau was a founding member of Boston and was with the band from 1975 – 1981. 

Professor Of Rock recently released the video below, along with the following introduction...

"Boston revitalized rock in the disco era when some thought rock was dead and buried. Their first two albums lit up the charts and knocked disco down. But then it took eight years for their third album to come out because of a lawsuit with their label. Boston beat the big bad label in the lawsuits, but as we all know, eight years in the music industry is a lifetime. And by the time they put out their record, the musical landscape had completely changed. And to make matters worse, someone leaked a rough demo of their new song 'Amanda' to radio months before it was supposed to come out. But then Boston did the unthinkable. Their leaked single 'Amanda' went straight to number one as did their album. And they ruled the mid-80s just like they did the 70s. It is a great story filled with a few surprises, next on Processor Of Rock."
