Doc welcomes former Suicide Silence drummer, Alex Lopez, to the show and they talk about him joining P.O.D. recently as a live drummer, what his life has been like after leaving Suicide Silence, how his affinity for hardcore influenced his drumming style with deathcore, his current feelings about Suicide Silence's self-titled album, the backlash, and how it affected the band, why he ultimately left the band, his struggle with drinking, and his journey through his whole career to find his path to be true to his art and follow his dreams.
