Gonzo Sandoval

Armored Saint drummer Gonzo Sandoval surprises us with a special-guest

appearance before and after our scheduled interview with his

Phil Sandoval

In the tradition of brothers who formed heavy rock bands (Van Halen,

Pantera and AC/DC), guitarist Phil Sandoval and drummer Gonzo Sandoval

turned their childhood passion for rock-n-roll into the California metal

band Armored Saint. Tours with Metallica, Scorpions, Quiet Riot and

many others helped cement Armored Saint’s reputation as one of power

metal’s most enduring and beloved bands. We talk to Phil Sandoval about

all things past and present, including Armored Saint’s latest album,

“Punching the Sky.”

Dan Delaney "Danbowski"

Dan Delaney’s passion for rock music borders on the fanatical (and we

mean that with high praise and respect)! As a lifelong superfan, Dan

embraced YouTube in its infancy and began using the platform to review

albums and offer commentary on hard rock and metal bands (as well as

other interests, including hiking in Mexico). From knowing song

sequences and liner note factoids to reciting lyrics off the top of his

head and adding his own personal insights, Dan’s video commentary will

keep you up past your bedtime. Check him out here:

Mike Soliz

As the piercing vocalist for Militia, Mike Soliz was a central figure in

the history of the mid-1980s South/Central Texas thrash-metal scene.

Alongside Texas bands like Watchtower, S.A. Slayer, Juggernaut and

Helstar, Militia were early peers of Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer and

others who rose to international fame. Join us as Mike recalls Militia’s

brief, but storied (and highly collectible) past and brings us up to

date on the band’s latest lineup and album, “And the Gods Made War.”

Dunsmore discusses his massive record collection (more than 10,000

LPs), singing for Devastation, touring with his idols and his lifelong

passion for heavy metal.

Simon Wright

AC/DC was a worldwide juggernaut when Simon Wright joined the band in

1983 at the young age of 20. After drumming on three AC/DC albums and

playing in front of massive audiences around the world, he left to join

Dio and, later, Rhino Bucket, UFO, Pat Travers and Operation Mindcrime,

among others. We caught up with him to discuss his star-studded career

and quickly learned to appreciate his humility and humor.

Chad Cherry

As the front man for The Last Vegas, Chad Cherry made his mark as one of

rock’s most charismatic lead singers (just ask Nikki Sixx, Alice Cooper

or Matt Sorum). Today, his appreciation for Jagger and Stewart is front

and center with The Claws, and his clothing line is worn by members of

the Alice Cooper band, pop star Pink and others. Join us as he recalls

touring arenas with Motley Crue, discovering horror movies and punk

rock, and working with B-movie actress, Sybil Danning.

John Gallagher

As one of the forerunners of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, Raven

influenced countless thrash and speed metal bands, including a

little-known Metallica who served as their opening act on the 1983

cross-country U.S. “Kill ‘Em All For One” tour. Bassist/vocalist John

Gallagher joins us to discuss the early years, his ongoing partnership

with his guitar-playing brother, his tricked-out bass guitars and what’s

next for Raven.

Tim “Ripper” Owens

He grew up worshipping his favorite metal band and ultimately became

their lead singer (sounds like a movie, doesn’t it?). In proving himself

to be up for the job, he also became widely recognized as one of the

best vocalists on the planet. Join us as we catch up with Tim “Ripper”

Owens to discuss his reunion with former Judas Priest band mate, K.K.

Downing, and their new album, “Sermons of the Sinner,” being released

under the moniker, K.K.’s Priest.

Nigel Glockler

As the “engine room” who drives the battering beat of metal legends,

Saxon, drummer Nigel Glockler has a long and prolific history as a

master of his craft (he’s also one of the nicest and funniest guys in

all of rock, and an honorary Texan to boot!). Give a listen as we

discuss the latest Saxon news, his early days in Toyah, stints in GTR

and Asia, as well as a punching contest with Nikki Sixx and recording

with Elton John.
