You guys are in for a treat today. Becky is an amazing bass player but what I loved about this conversation is the passion that she has for music. It was super infectious.

Please follow her and listen to her band Fury

We got a new segment and we got some new news for everyone.

We have decided to start doing segments on Fridays now since things have been really taking off and Tuesdays are going to be the interview days. So you get TWO episodes a week. The amount of listeners we have gotten in the last two weeks has been mindblowing and we are truly grateful.

Todays new segment is called, Is this a Perfect Album and we couldn't think of a better album than the 1992 juggernaut album by Alice in Chains, Dirt.

So grab your beverage of choice and some headphones and dive into this cool discussion on why we think this record is a perfect album.

This was such a treat. We had the Van Halen encyclopedia on the show today, PHd Professor, Mr Greg Renoff. We talk all things Van Halen but we also dive into his book about Ted Templeman, The New York Jets, watching Metallica getting ready to take over the world, Jersey and so much more....

I can't thank Greg enough for how gracious he was with his time.

New segment on the show today that we are going to call "Let's Talk" It's going to be an insightful conversation about comparing and contrasting two ideas and we thought what a great way to start this segment by talking about Randy Rhoads and Jake E Lee. We kinda take sides and there's a great ending to this conversation. We hope you listen and enjoy it and pass it along to your guitar player friends.

Happy Halloween! We thought we would throw out a special episode and discuss the effect Stephen KIng had on music with Author/Musician/Label Owner/Engineer Anthony Scott Ashworth.

Don't sleep on this one!

What a better way to celebrate the 35 anniversary of Pearl Jam's first live performance than to talk with Selena Fragrassi about her new book, Pearl Jam Live!: 35 Years of Legendary Music and Revolutionary Shows

We had such a great time talking about Pearl Jam, the Seattle scene, the movie Singles, Ann and Nanvy Wilson, Alice in Chains and so much more.
