Talk Louder

Nashville Pussy

Nashville Pussy has spent three decades steamrolling the faint of heart with their unapologetic brand of booze-fueled, fist-fighting, off-the-rails rock-n-roll. With the recent release of new live album, “Eaten Alive,” we caught up with vocalist/guitarist Blaine Cartwright and she-devil guitarist Ruyter Suys for the lowdown on their glorious hellride. Come on, come on! Get some!

Ryan Roxie

He plays guitar for Alice Cooper, recorded an album with Slash and hosts the “In the Trenches” podcast featuring guests from across the rock-n-roll spectrum. From his early days in Candy and Electric Angels to his present-day gig dodging daggers with Uncle Alice, Ryan Roxie graciously surrenders to our geeky inquisition.

Bryan Small

He was digging his own grave from the late-’80s through the ‘90s until he got sober

and refocused his creative muse on his twangy, garage-punk, rock band, The

Hangmen. Some call Bryan Small a singer, songwriter and guitarist with a deep

respect for The Gun Club, Petty, Keef and Cash. We call him a rock-n-roll lifer

with a catalog of kick-ass albums.

Blake Ibanez

Power Trip was one of metal’s fastest rising stars until the untimely 2020 death of 34-year-old singer, Riley Gale. As tributes poured in from Anthrax, Machine Head, Trivium and Ice-T, among others, the remaining band members were left devastated and unsure of the future. Guitarist Blake Ibanez joins us to discuss the triumphs, tragedy and possible future of a short-lived band that made a massive mark. P.S. We’re also joined by a special guest co-host who has a few questions of his own.

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.

Thom Hazaert

He loves Def Leppard and Faster Pussycat as much as Korn and Deftones and has followed his passion for music into multiple music-biz pursuits, including journalist, manager, label boss, vocalist and more. Buckle up as Thom Hazaert’s enthusiasm shows us how music feeds the beast.

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
