Del James

He’s a lifelong friend and road manager of Guns N’ Roses, but also is an accomplished author, journalist and lyricist whose credits include GN’R, Testament, the Almighty and others. Del James joins us to discuss his gritty new graphic novel, “Consensual Violence,” his time at RIP magazine, his love of wrestling, plus a couple sidebars on Junkyard and Danzig. In his words, it’s all been a “beautiful blur.”

Lower Class Brats

Three decades since proudly proclaiming they’d “Rather Be Hated Than Ignored,” the Lower Class Brats are still driving harder than a stolen getaway car. Singer Bones and guitarist Marty Volume join us to discuss their reissued 1997 street-punk call-to-arms. We also revisit their derelict beginnings in Austin TX., their ongoing, international legacy, the merging of punk and metal, and why being obsessed with music will never be a phase.

Jeff Wagner

The story of Voivod is one of otherworldly weirdness. Words fail, comparisons don’t exist and articulating the essence of the Canadian tech-metal/prog-thrash band is an exercise in futility. Until now. With his new book, “Always Moving: The Strange Multiverse of Voivod,” acclaimed metal author Jeff Wagner pens the ultimate biography of one of music’s most oddly intriguing bands. From desolate, chaos-metal beginnings to forays into the outer limits of musical exploration, Wagner picks the brains of band members, producers, peers and others in Voivod’s orbit to fascinating effect. We welcome Wagner aboard to tell the story behind the story.

Graham Bonnet

He’s got one of the most powerful voices in rock and a list of recording credits that can’t be overstated (who else could replace Ronnie James Dio?). Graham Bonnet joins us to discuss his latest album, “Lost in Hollywood Again,” which revisits career milestones with Rainbow, MSG and Alcatrazz, as well as his solo discography – all recorded live at Hollywood’s legendary Whisky a Go Go. We also discuss his amazing roster of past guitarists (Blackmore, Schenker, Malmsteen and Vai), his upcoming duet with Bruce Dickinson, his fascination with science fiction and the songs beyond the hits that he considers personal favorites.

Dangerous Toys - Demolition

Somewhere in the cobwebs of 1990-93, Texas rockers Dangerous Toys wrote a hellacious stack of songs for a third, major-label album that, unfortunately, never happened. While some of those song ideas subsequently surfaced on the indie-label album, “Pissed,” most were left for dead as “rejects” or unfinished demos. Until now. Singer and co-host Jason McMaster tells us how 10 of those long-lost tracks were dusted off, salvaged (as much as possible) and blessed by Bill Z. Bub for the upcoming Dangerous Toys release, “Demolition” (see what they did there?).

Alex Skolnick

Best known as the lead guitarist for thrash-metal titans, Testament, Alex Skolnick is also an accomplished jazz player. He joins us to discuss the Alex Sknolnick Trio’s recently released sixth album, “Prove You’re Not a Robot,” as well as Testament’s latest thrash platter, “Para Bellum.” And, yes, we had to ask about that one gig with Ozzy.

Kelly LeMieux

He’s been Buckcherry’s bassist for the past 12 years, but Kelly LeMieux has also played with Dave Mustaine, FEAR, Paul Gilbert, Goldfinger, the Electric Love Hogs and one of Joey Ramone’s favorite bands, 22 Jacks. He joins us for a rapid-fire, wide-ranging -- and totally fun -- discussion about his bass heroes, desert-island albums, Hanoi Rocks, Talas, a (kinda) close encounter with Iron Maiden's Steve Harris, joining Buckcherry and so much more. Grab some coffee and try to keep up. You won’t want to miss a word!

Tim Durling

Canadian author Tim Durling has written nerd-level books offering insight and analysis on albums by Y&T, Night Ranger, Sammy Hagar and Kansas. He also writes with authority on the subject of collecting 8-track tapes. Naturally, our discussion was as geeky as it gets.
