Talk Louder

London May

As a member of Samhain, London May carved his name into the hallowed halls of goth-punk history. Today, the musician and actor has a starring role in the new Anthrax music video, “Cursum Perficio;” is featured in the upcoming apocalyptic horror flick “The Glorious Dead;” and can be heard on recent albums by genre-defying musician, Bonnie “Prince” Billy. He joins us to discuss his bone-breaking and bone-chilling acting roles (literally), his earliest musical influences, why acting kept him out of trouble (sort of) and his legacy as the drummer on Samhain’s cult classic, “November Coming Fire” (an album filled with nerdy factoids that surprised even him!).

Craig A. Williams

In his new film, “If These Walls Could Rock,” co-director Craig A. Williams rallies an all-star cast, including Slash, Grohl, Ringo, Springsteen, Morrissey, Gene Simmons, Billy Gibbons, Chris Robinson, Sharon and Kelly Osbourne, and host Billy Bob Thornton (among others) to share their love of the sometimes debauched, but always iconic Sunset Marquis Hotel. Williams joins us to discuss the making of the film, the stories that didn’t make the cut, the universal aura of Keith Richards and how David Coverdale was innocently mistaken for someone he definitely was not.

Don Jamieson & Jim Florentine

Hello? Hello?

Leave your dignity at the door.

Chuck Billy

He thought he’d be dead at 38, but a higher power had other plans. Testament singer Chuck Billy joins us to discuss his upcoming autobiography, “Holding My Breath: The Two Testaments of Chuck Billy,” (Nov. 10) in which he shares his upbringing, his heritage, his transformation from glam rocker to thrash titan and how his spirituality, family and brotherhood of friends gave him the strength to beat cancer. With a foreward by Rob Halford and afterword by Randy Blythe, Chuck’s story is insightful, revealing, hilarious and, above all, human. You won’t be able to put it down.

Europe

As the keyboardist behind the instantly recognized intro to “The Final Countdown” (and co-writer of the smash 1986 ballad, “Carrie”), Europe’s Mic Michaeli holds a timeless place in melodic rock history. He joins us to discuss Europe’s new album, “Come the Madness,” the concept behind the visually grim “One on One” video (featuring actor Peter Stormare), his early inspirations and his past work with the legendary Glenn Hughes.

Frank Bello

It’s been 10 years since the last Anthrax album, but with the Sept. 18 release of “Cursum Perficio,” the wait is finally over. Bassist Frank Bello joins us to discuss recording at Dave Grohl’s studio, the creative fire that still fuels the band, his recent Grammy win, showing some painful restraint backstage with Rush and a life lesson Steve Harris unknowingly taught him when he was a persistent (and freezing cold) young fan.

Airbourne: Joel O’Keeffe

When it comes to gutsy, high-voltage rock’n’roll, few bands do it better than Australia’s Airbourne. Frontman Joel O’Keeffe joins us to discuss Airbourne’s new, self-titled album, the involvement of “Mutt” Lange and Bryan Adams, co-writes by Johnny Crash frontman Vicki James Wright and why bands like Broken Teeth, Rhino Bucket and Dirty Looks will always be kindred spirits. He also shares a priceless story about Keith Richards hand-picking Airbourne to open for the Stones. Yes, it’s good to be Airbourne!

He’s spent the past 40 years as guitarist for Motown legend Smokey Robinson and also played on massive hits by Jerry “The Iceman” Butler (“Never Give You Up”), Gloria Gaynor (“I Will Survive”) and Peaches and Herb (“Reunited,” “Shake Your Groove Thing”). Robert “Boogie” Bowles joins us to discuss his longevity as a sideman, the power of connections, the advice he shares through his books and how the music business can go from “sh*t to sugar” (and back) in the space of a song.
