Black Veil Brides got a lot of hate early on, but why? Why did they evolve from their glam "Motley Crue" look? How far back do they go with Falling in Reverse and Ronnie Radke?Frontman Andy Biersack answers all that plus how Sweeney Todd influenced their new single and upcoming EP "Bleeders." Speaking of, make sure to catch them on the BLEEDERS tour and donate some blooooood.

Johnny Christ, Avenged Sevenfold bassist and host of the Drinks with Johnny podcast. We nerd out pretty hard about wrestling and he tells me about the song A7X wrote for a WWE wrestler that was never used. We also get into fan reaction to their latest album “Life is but a dream”, what’s next for the band now hat they’re finished with their record label, the worst show they ever played, getting sober, whether or not he thinks they will get in the rock hall, touring with Ronnie Radke and more.

Deee from Oxymorrons had me rollin. We talks about touring with Corey Taylor and Bad Omens, the difference between nu-metal and rap rock, how wrestling is cool again, being pampered with access, Linkin Park's legacy, and why you need a side hustle.

Nothing More frontman Jonny Hawkins was almost canceled last year after a domestic incident with his ex-girlfriend and talks about it publicly for the first time on the show. He also gives me the details about how the Scorpion Tail actually works, that giant OSHA violation of a contraption the band uses on stage. I get the lowdown on their new album "Carnal," the collab with I Prevail and get into a lot of fitness and health talk for all the fellow avocados out there.

Mudvayne recently returned from an 11 year hiatus and frontman Chad Gray talks about what happened over a decade ago, what it feels like to be back and being embraced by the new generation of fans that fell in love with them through places like TikTok. Chad was also the singer for the metal supergroup HELLYEAH, which featured late Pantera drummer Vinnie Paul so we of course get into his thoughts about the remaining members of Pantera being out on the road touring without the Dimebag and Vinnie who have both sadly passed away. We talk about the importance of playing live, possible new mudvayne music and picks his bet for the Mike Tyson Logan vs. Paul fight.

Disturbed frontman David Draiman chatted with me literally hours before a flight to some shows in New Zealand. He fills me in on the origins of the iconic piercings, the shaved head and of course the "oo-ah-ah-ah." He also makes his feelings on backing tracks and live music very clear. He still loves Taylor Swift and plenty of other artists in the newer generation.
