Craig Behrhorst

A veteran of the San Francisco rock scene, guitarist Craig Behrhorst befriended Metallica, Exodus, Death Angel and others when they played their earliest club gigs. He also took the stage himself with Laaz Rockit, The Ruffians, The Butlers and Davy Vain, among others. Today, he runs his own T-shirt company, continues to make music and freely admits to an obsession with UFO and Thin Lizzy. What’s not to like about this guy?

Stevie D.

When his plan to become Hollywood’s biggest drug dealer failed, Stevie D. and partner Josh Todd relaunched Buckcherry and scored massive radio hits with “Crazy Bitch” and “Sorry.” Today, he and Todd have been sober for decades and are back on the road with well-received, ninth album, “Hellbound.” We caught Stevie before soundcheck in Florida for a quick chat about songwriting, touring and, um, vaping with Eddie Van Halen.

Away

For four decades, Michel Langevin, a.k.a. “Away,” has been the drummer,

artistic visionary and driving force behind Canadian prog-metal thrash

titans, Voivod. With the recent release of the band’s 15th studio album,

“Synchro Anarchy,” we scanned his ever-creative brain to find out what

keeps him ticking. Take it, Away!

As the bass player for the highly influential Big Boys, Chris Gates helped define

Austin’s early 1980s punk-rock scene. Next, he chased his dreams to Los Angeles

where he sought to “make it” as the founding guitarist for Junkyard. Following

a major-label flame-out and near-lethal drug habit, he returned to Austin where

he fought to win sobriety, health, happiness and newfound creative outlets –

both musical and otherwise. In his words, he’s living a big cool life. Visit www.bigcoollife.com

Legs Diamond

Legs Diamond flew under the mainstream radar despite arena tours with KISS, Ted

Nugent and Styx, but found a stronghold in San Antonio, Texas, where legendary

deejay Joe “The Godfather” Anthony turned the Los Angeles rockers into radio stars

and a rite-of-passage concert attraction that’s still talked about today. We

look back and forward with drummer Jeff Poole and keyboardist/guitarist Michael

Prince.

Eddie Spaghetti and Frank Meyer

Frontmen for their respective bands, the Supersuckers and Streetwalkin’ Cheetahs, Eddie

Spaghetti and Frank Meyer join forces after a decades-long friendship to

release a collection of power-pop, cowpunk, down-n-dirty, rock-n-brawl. Aptly

titled “Motherfuckin’ Rock ’N’ Roll,” the album is exactly what you’d expect

from these two rock-n-roll lifers.

Wayne Nagel

An architect of the Austin music scene for more than four decades, Wayne Nagel was

the co-owner of the legendary Austin Rehearsal Complex (ARC) where musicians

like Charlie Sexton, the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Joe Ely and countless others

roamed the halls and fine-tuned their songs. He also co-founded the

long-running SIMS Foundation to help musicians struggling with mental health

and works as tour manager for Creedence Clearwater Revisited, Ray Wylie

Hubbard, Eric Johnson and others. He’s done and seen it all -- and is one of

the reasons Austin is known for its rich musical history.
