Cutter's RockCast

This isn't actually a reboot. The news broke about the reboot of the MTV stop motion show 'Celebrity Death Match' right before we got into the studio. A show who's theme music was written by none other than Marilyn Manson! That news spawned this conversation.

Nothing More played The Sylvee in Madison, WI on December 2nd. Cutter caught up with frontman Jonny Hawkins before the show. They talked gaming, the spark that pushed Jonny to music, his road from drummer to singer, and more.

P.O.D. which stands for Payable on Death having been kicking it around the rock and metal scene since the mid 90's. Based out of San Diego their music is unrecognizable. From giant hits like "Youth of the Nation" and "Boom" to their newest album 'Circles' we dive into it all with Sonny, Wuv, Traa, and Marcos of the legendary P.O.D.

After helping Ivan Moody from Five Finger Death Punch do an amazing thing by donating sleeping bags to a homeless shelter, Kaytie and I decided it's high time to go down the list of charity organizations that are ran by, started by, or helped by rockstars.

For the 100th episode of the Rockcast, Kaytie and I went live via Facebook and took your questions. Plus I was still live on the air. Turns out we're OK at multitasking. Here's the audio, enjoy!

A few weeks ago the rock world lost one of it's great guitarists in Oli Herbert from the band All That Remains. Kaytie and I were both lucky enough to have met Oli and everyone from ATR on numerous occasions and I know for me personally they quickly become some of my favorite people in music. November 9th sees the release of the 9th studio album 'Victim of the New Disease.' Mike Martin is the other guitarist in All That Remains and in the middle of Kaytie and I talking about the band Mike and I had a fantastic conversation about Oli, about the new record, some good natured ribbing of Phil LeBonte, playing in the rain and more. Listen to this episode and you might learn something. After you listen to this, or before, do yourself a favor and listen to the new record. You won't be sorry.

The kickoff to the Red Sun Rising tour happened about an hour down the road from our main studio so we had to take advantage and have them stop by and say hi. The Together We Are A Thread tour was inspired by their song "Stealing Life," which they perform live and acoustic on this episode of the Rockcast. They are raising funds for Musicares and spreading awareness while trying to erase the stigma of mental health and suicide. It's an important message and one that Kaytie and I truly believe in. Rockcast 98, Red Sun Rising in studio.

The Detroit rock and roll band Wilson sound like they are all just about the party and the good times, While that may true at times there is still a giant business machine behind them and most rock bands or artists we love. There is a lot more to the behind the scenes than you may think. It even almost destroyed the dudes known as Wilson. It's time to go behind the rock with lead singer Chad Nicefield. Also enjoy the picture of Kayite wearing the gold plated Wilson t-shirt. She wanted to be a baller while having this conversation.

Let me set this up. I had to do the Free Beer and Hot Wings morning show this morning so I had been up since 3am, but when presented with the chance to catch up with my friend Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach I couldn't turn that down. Our time was brief, but we were able to learn some more about the two new songs that Papa Roach put out plus some more info on their upcoming new album due out in January. There's also a lot of excitement about their spring tour with Shinedown and Asking Alexandria. So here's a quick 10 minute conversation with one of the best frontmen in rock.

I was done for the day, I had just wrapped up with Alice in Chains when my girlfriend Luna Nicole taps me on the shoulder and asks "Is that Bam Margera over there?" To which I said oh yeah that's Bam why? haha, turns out we had mutual friends, so I turned the mics back on and we got to talking. We did this in a kind of public space, sort of in between the backstage area and the VIP area at Aftershock, so of course a few fans had to get their pics with Bam first.
