Nick Bowcott

He promised to “See You in Hell” in 1983 and we all welcomed the warning with horns held high. Grim Reaper guitarist Nick Bowcott joins us to discuss his heavy metal heyday; his post-Reaper career as a music columnist and gear brand ambassador; his audition for Iron Maiden (pre-Dennis Stratton); how a broken leg paid for his first guitar (his signature Union Jack Yamaha); his friendship with Dimebag Darrell; a memorable chat with Randy Rhoads; why he shaved his head; and that time Dave Grohl surprised him by naming a deep cut as his favorite Grim Reaper song. You will not meet a more passionate, heavy metal lifer.
