Al Del Barrio

When early members of Suicidal Tendencies called him to step up to the mic, Al Del Barrio said “yes, sir” and joined the Luicidal army. He joins us to discuss that fateful call, his longstanding Texas crossover thrash-punk band, Confused, and how a Twisted Sister concert set him on the path to rock’n’roll.

Rotting Corpse

The name alone could incite panic and disgust, but Rotting Corpse just wants to throw a (pizza) party! Frontman Walter Trachsler joins us to discuss the band’s recent resurgence thanks to some unlikely gigs, its decades-long history as pioneers of Texas death-metal thrash, and what it was like growing up with a certain pair of Abbott brothers. He also shares his unorthodox childhood, his time with tech-metal icons, Death, a brush with the Cult and why he’s cautious about sharing his band’s name with those who may not find the humor.

Tesla: Frank Hannon

As a kid growing up on the Beatles, Stones, Skynyrd and Cash, guitarist Frank Hannon borrowed inspiration from his idols when he founded the rock band Tesla and enjoyed his own rock-radio success with a string of 1980s hit songs that still resonates today. He joins us to discuss Tesla’s upcoming album, “Homage,” (due July 17), which reinterprets songs by Elvis, Queen, Badfinger, Supertramp, Bob Seger and others alongside the new original, “Never Alone.” As he and his band mates gear up for a three-month tour with Motley Crue and Extreme, we also learn how a “Cheech & Chong moment” nearly sent Tesla’s 1987 Texxas Jam appearance up in smoke.

Andy Parker

The influence of legendary British rock band UFO is readily – and rightfully – praised by the likes of Iron Maiden, Def Leppard and Metallica (among others), yet the band’s impact in America remains an underground phenomenon. With the recent reissue of UFO’s 1981 album, “The Wild, the Willing and the Innocent,” drummer Andy Parker kindly returns to discuss the expanded release, the unlikely influences of Bruce Springsteen and Elton John, the grinding pace of the 1970s/early ’80s and why the saxophone is one of rock’n’roll’s most unsung instruments.

Ronnie Younkins

His band, KIX, exploded with the 1988 platinum-selling album, “Blow My Fuse” and the major hit single, “Don’t Close Your Eyes,” but away from the spotlight, guitarist Ronnie Younkins was in a tailspin of drugs and alcohol that would turn into the fight for his life. He joins us to discuss his current band, The Blues Vultures, his brutal battles for sobriety, the time KIX picked him up from rehab in a tour bus and his once-in-a-lifetime audition with KISS. hab sobriety

Jeff Duncan

On the eve of new album, “Emotion Factory Reset,” Armored Saint guitarist Jeff Duncan joins us to discuss the band’s new music and videos; the influence of Foghat; kind words from Blackie Lawless; and the joy of being schooled by Michael Schenker. He also tells us why sharing the stage with his brother (L.A. Guns drummer Shawn Duncan) at the Rainbow’s 54th birthday bash was a full-circle moment for two “Hollywood dinosaurs.”

Brian Greenway: April Wine

In 1977, guitarist Brian Greenway joined April Wine in time for the band’s rise to international fame with the 1978 album, “First Glance,” and its classic single, “Roller.” From there, the hits kept coming with radio mainstays “I Like to Rock,” “Sign of the Gypsy Queen,” “Just Between You and Me” and “Enough is Enough,” among others. He joins us from the road where April Wine is supporting fellow Canadian rock legends, Triumph, on a hit-packed North American tour, and kindly indulges us as we ask about the vintage songs (plus an obscure one), the band’s legacy and whether or not new music is on the list.
