Talk Louder

Albert Bouchard

As the drummer on such eternally classic songs as “(Don’t Fear) The

Reaper,” “Godzilla,” “Burning for You” and others, Blue Oyster Cult’s Albert

Bouchard is firmly cemented in rock-n-roll history. Today, he’s reimagining

BOC’s music on his latest album, “Imaginos II: Bombs Over Germany.” We caught

up with him to discuss the past and present (and, yes, we asked him about “More

Cowbell!”).

Don Jamieson

He honed his comedic craft performing with Andrew “Dice” Clay before

spending 14 seasons co-hosting “That Metal Show” with Eddie Trunk and Jim

Florentine. While on tour as the opening act for rock supergroup, the Dead

Daisies, he joined us to talk KISS, jokes gone wrong, hecklers and his

legendary sideburns. Ladies and idiots, brace yourself for a shot of Jamieson!

Phil Lewis

On a hot streak since reuniting with guitarist Tracii Guns in 2017,

vocalist Phil Lewis joins us to discuss L.A. Guns’ new album “Checkered Past,”

his former band Girl (including a hilarious introduction to Randy Rhoads), his

opinion of Axl Rose and memories of touring with Dangerous Toys. We also get

the scoop on a Summer 2022 tour package you won’t want to miss.

his life.

Jay Jay French

As the founder, guitarist and manager of Twisted Sister, Jay Jay

French spent a hard-fought decade on the New York/New Jersey club circuit

before gaining international stardom in 1984. In his new book, “Twisted

Business,” Jay Jay shares how tenacity, wisdom, trust and reinvention turned

each stroke of bad luck into a rebounding success … again and again, on stage

and off.

John Corabi

He famously replaced Vince Neil as the lead singer for Motley Crue

in 1992 and recorded what many fans consider to be one of the band’s best

albums. He also fronted the rock supergroup Dead Daisies and spent time with

Brides of Destruction, Saints or Sinners, The Scream and others. Today, Corabi

lives in Nashville where he is recording and releasing a string of new singles

while riding out the pandemic (and squashing rumors of a return to Motley).

Gonzo Sandoval

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

appearance before and after our scheduled interview with his

guitar-playing brother, Phil. We were obviously more than happy to take a double dose of the Saint!

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.”
