The Mark and HooGie Show

Glenn Fricker of Spectre Sound Studios tells it like it is. No BS. Straight shooter. Even if it means telling you that you SUCK! Glenn is not only a world renowned producer, but a YouTube sensation! His YouTube videos have millions of views, and he's earned the love and respect from some of the biggest names in Metal.

Imagine being a founding member of the biggest rock band in the world....but also possibly the most HATED band in the world. Mike Kroeger from Nickelback lives this every single day.

Speak with anyone who is a fan of Heavy Metal, and 9 times of of 10 they will mention Machine Head as one of their favourite bands. This week on The Mark and HooGie Show, we had the honour of chatting with former Machine Head guitarist Phil Demmel!

Nothing Can Come Between Us.... Rx.... Bad Girlfriend... Make Up Your Mind... The Bitch Came Back.... the list goes on and on. Theory of a Deadman came out around the same time as Nickelback, so they've always been compared to them. Considering that Theory has been around for more than 20 years.... and continue to have songs that are topping the charts... I guess they've proven that they aren't just a Nickelback "light". Quite the contrary! Nine of their singles have entered the top ten of the US Billboard Mainstream Rock chart, including four songs that peaked at #1!

This week on The Mark and HooGie Show, we speak with Theory of a Deadman singer Tyler Connolly.... and he's pretty open about his procrastination when it comes to writing new music. We also talk about crazy road stories... singing about controversial topics.... bands that he is NOT influenced by... and much more.

This week on The Mark and Hoogie Show, we talk to Shinedown guitarist Zach Myers! We discuss some new Shinedown material in the works.... Smith & Myers.... why Zach has such a huge shoe collection... and much more!

Mike Mushok has written and recorded some of the biggest songs in rock music, as a founding member of the band Staind. Mushok is one of the most respected guitarist in music, and has worked with some of rocks biggest names. Not only is he the lead guitarist for Staind, but also Saint Asonia, and played in the band Newsted.

This weeks guest is Silverstein lead singer, Shane Told! Shane discusses the bands history with Victory Records... his podcast "Lead Singer Syndrome"... and we even find out why you don't want to cross him!

Did you know that customized sneakers is a billion dollar a year industry? That's BILLION, with a B! I never knew, until I watched an episode of  "The World According to Jeff Goldblum" on Disney+ and it was all about this remarkable sneaker industry. Troy “Kickasso” Cole is a leader in the sneaker customization world. Kickasso also just so happens to be our guest today!

This week, we chat with Bad Wolves singer, Tommy Vext, about the current state of the world and music. Plus, which part of the song "Zombie" was Delores O'Rioridan supposed to sing... Tommy gives us a freestyle rap... and what is planned for the future of Bad Wolves?

David Ellefson has been the bass player for Megadeth for 30 years! Dave (or Junior as some people call him) joined us this week on the show to discuss a wide range of topics.
