Episode 150- Doc Coyle from Bad Wolves! This band has had  four number one rock songs on the charts, including their smash hit “Zombie” which is a cover of the Cranberries song.  Before he joined Bad Wolves he was in a band called God Foribd for 17 years, and he’s also filled in for Lamb Of God, written blogs for VH-1 and Metal Sucks, and hosts his own podcast, the Ex-Man with Doc Coyle. We went down some rabbit holes together and we talk conspiracy theories, UFOS, politics, the media and all that stuff. And of course we talk music and Doc opens up a little about what happened with the change at signer for Bad Wolves. Overall, one of the most enjoyable episodes of the show for me. Hope you agree!
