Cutter's RockCast

Fun Fact: After all these years I've never spoken to Claudio Sanchez from Coheed and Cambria in an official forum before.

Now we get to find out for sure they are definitely more than just that "comic book band." The stories told within this incredible music though should not be downplayed and with a new album on the way 2022 is looking solid for Coheed and Cambria.

Kaytie has returned once again to Cutter's Rockcast! We also welcome the debut of our newest family member, Decker. The reason for the special hostful episode is because you may have seen the news about yet another Puddle of Mudd mishap. Wes who had heard and seen for ourselves had been doing much better, but on this cold November night in Green Bay, WI that was not the case. Wes walked his band off stage and generally just did not have a great night. Cutter was at the show and saw it all first hand. Then he received a message from a listener saying it was basically the media's fault that so many rockstars before have had this downward fall. We discuss.

Ps...we do truly hope all is well with Wes Scantlin, when he's sober he's such a loveable guy.

That's right the legendary Jerry Cantrell, guitarist for Alice in Chains is back for more on Cutter's Rockcast. We got in a quick conversation about his new solo album 'Brighten' before I had to leave and get to my son's karate graduation.

After two very successful albums, their singer is out. Enter new frontman Daniel "DL" Laskiewicz. He was the guitar player in the metal band The Acacia Strain and now he's the singer for Bad Wolves. Old friend and Bad Wolves guitarist Doc Coyle joins us to discuss that process and talk up their new album 'Dear Monsters'

John Cooper is the singer and bassist for the band Skillet. If you're keeping track that's two weeks in a row with a singer/bassist. Anyway Skillet got their start in the Christian music circuit in the late 90s, but by the time they released their album 'Awake,' they were posed for mainstream rock success. They found it, and now here we are talking about their upcoming 8th studio album 'Dominion' due out on January 14, 2022. The new song "Surviving the Game" is out now.

Mastodon have officially released their highly anticipated new double album 'Hushed and Grim.' Yes, we said double album. An album that was largely influenced by the unfortunate passing of Mastodon's manager Nick John. As the single "Teardrinker" starts rising up the rock radio charts and the new album is now being ingested by Mastodon fans worldwide, it's time to go in-depth one of the most in-depth albums we've heard in a long time. Singer, bassist Troy Sanders of Mastodon sit's down with Cutter.

Yes that Slash. He plays guitar in Guns N' Roses, he wears a top hat, and plays that iconic Gibson Les Paul guitar. Slash of course has seen a lot of music success in the past few years with his own band featuring Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators. Just announced his 4th album 'Four' will be released in February and with that of course is a new song. It's called "The River is Rising" and features not one but two Slash guitar solos, we'd expect nothing less. Always an absolute honor to have one of Guitar World's top 10 guitarists of all time back on The Rockcast.

Nathan Hunt is the lead singer of the band Shaman's Harvest. A band who put out their first music when it was still the 20th century, not the 21st. In other words, they've been at a long time. A few years ago they really struck gold and broke through with the song "In Chains" and their amazing cover of the song "Dirty Diana." Now with the release of their latest single "Voices" they're ready to be back. Maybe we can find out when there's more coming!

Kaytie is once back on Cutter's Rockcast as we have a quick conversation with the legendary Dean DeLeo of Stone Temple Pilots. Their tour with Bush was canceled due to covid concerns from Bush, but STP goes on. Their fall tour kicks off in Oklahoma City on the 17th and rolls from there. On top of STP activity, during the pandemic Dean put together an album called Trip the Witch that includes a song with Jon Anderson of Yes. There is also a quick guitar lesson involved with this conversation. Oh and he gives a little love for my hometown of Green Bay.

As of today Friday, September 24th, Badflower's new album is out!!! It's called 'This is How the World Ends.' This is special though as this marks Badflower's 6th appearance on Cutter's Rockcast and for the first time since that now-infamous Corey Taylor episode, Kaytie is back! So as she says we are celebrating Badflower Day.
