Turn Up The Radio

"Turn Up the Radio" is a glam metal track by Autograph, released as the lead single from their 1984 debut album, Sign In Please. It reached number 29 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 17 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, helped in part by heavy MTV rotation. For electric guitarists, the song offers a solid introduction to the hard rock riffs and lead work that defined the mid-1980s glam metal sound.

  • The song peaked at number 17 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, making it a genuine radio staple of the mid-1980s hard rock scene.
  • Heavy MTV airplay was a key driver of the song's commercial success, reflecting how music video exposure shaped rock hits in that era.
  • At just over four minutes long, the track gives guitarists enough runtime to study its riff structure and lead guitar phrasing in detail.

The DigiTech Whammy provided Lynch with pitch-shifting effects beyond his Floyd Rose's capabilities, adding experimental texture to Autograph's synth-rock influenced arrangements and expanding his expressive possibilities during lead work.

Lynch used the ISP Decimator noise gate to control feedback from his high-gain Marshall setup during fast legato passages and pauses, keeping his complex tapping work clean without losing natural sustain.
