This week on The MetalSucks Podcast, Alter Bridge guitarist Mark Tremonti joins the show! While chatting with our host Petar, the two discuss whether the band's new album Pawns & Kings is influenced by recent world events, the importance of passing down knowledge from each generation, and how the pandemic was a creativity killer for the first six months for him.

They also discuss how Tremonti's passion project would be covering Frank Sinatra songs, the excitement of finally doing a tour with Alter Bridge since the world paused, the side projects that all members have and the positive energy those bring the Alter Bridge, his love for Halloween decorations, and his last great costume that he got to wear.

Later in the episode, Petar and Sylvia discuss the Dave Mustaine and Dave Ellefson media back and forth, and why we feel Avenged Sevenfold’s “Hail To The King” has captured so many streams despite its the obvious criticism about that album.
