Johnny Goudie

His alternative, pop-rock band, Goudie, was signed by Metallica drummer

Lars Ulrich who was impressed enough to release the album “Peep Show” in

2000. Besides his namesake band, Johnny Goudie has also made a name for

himself with the Austin-based bands, Mr. Rocket Baby and Skyrocket,

among others. Since 2011, he’s hosted the “How Did I Get Here?” podcast,

which is a question worth asking considering his Lars connection and

work with members of the Go-Go’s, Fastball, the BoDeans and others. He

joins us to discuss all this and more.

Bad Marriage

Bad Marriage guitarist Mike Fitz and newcomer Tommy Skeoch (ex-Tesla) join us discuss the band’s new chemistry, past history, an upcoming tour with Vandenberg, how a metal detector inspired a new song and that time Eddie Money kicked open their dressing room door to praise the band’s name in his best (unintentional) Rodney Dangerfield voice.

Rick Ventura

Featured on Riot’s seminal hard rock/heavy metal albums, “Fire Down Under” and “Restless Breed,” guitarist Rick Ventura was poised for stardom on the strength of high-profile tours with Rush, Black Sabbath, Sammy Hagar and Rainbow. He also had the immense respect of his peers (Hello, Lars Ulrich!). So, what happened? Sharpen your swords and pour some tequila as we dig into Rick’s storied past, his new music with Riot Act, the story behind Riot’s oft-maligned album covers and the heartfelt humility of leaving his mark.

Logan Olivero

Central Texas may seem like an unlikely spawning ground for a symphonic black metal band, but long-running Vesperian Sorrow is turning the tide. Singer Logan Olivero joins us to discuss latest album, “Awaken the Greylight,” his wide-ranging vocal influences, his proud affiliation with “the worst band in the world” (Complete, look ‘em up!) and the time his Texas hospitality “backfired” on Polish metal band, Vader.

Mr. Lifto

Using pierced body parts to lift heavy objects is a huge “no thanks!” for most people -- but Mr. Lifto isn’t most people! He joins us to discuss (disgust?) touring with Lollapalooza as part of the Jim Rose Circus; shenanigans with Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Ministry and others; the “Circus of the Scars” documentary; shocking the talk show circuit; painful injuries; “bile beer;” and the time David Bowie made him wet his pants.

Jeremy Asbrock

He plays guitar for Ace Frehley AND Gene Simmons in their respective solo bands -- obviously quite the rocket ride for any lifelong KISS fan. Jeremy Asbrock joins us to discuss his band Rock City Machine Co., touring with his childhood idols (and the songs they wouldn’t play), his favorite KISS deep cuts, jamming with Robin Zander and how he was secretly “ripped” during Ace Frehley’s “Cherry Medicine” video.

Steve Conte

If you only know Steve Conte for his top-shelf work in the Michael Monroe band, you’re missing the bigger picture of his wildly impressive career. The singer/songwriter/guitarist joins us to discuss his latest album, “The Concrete Jangle,” his years with the New York Dolls, that time he jammed with Chuck Berry, his ongoing hot streak with Michael Monroe and so much more. The guy just oozes rock’n’roll.

Bobby Landgraf

He works for Pantera as Rex Brown’s bass tech and tours the world’s biggest arenas and stadiums delivering the band’s crushing sonic onslaught. He’s also documenting all the behind-the-scenes footage on his popular “Crew From Hell 2.0” YouTube channel. Bobby Landgraf joins us to discuss the logistical magnitude of opening stadium shows for Metallica, headlining arenas and sheds with Pantera, his history with metal supergroup Down, that time he stepped in on bass for an ailing Rex Brown in front of 60,000 people (or more?) and why nothing short of skilled professionalism will cut it in the big leagues.
