They share hilarious stories about naming struggles (yes, "Blitzkrieg Butthole" was discussed), old-school touring memories, and what still drives them to create music. The guys reminisce on the golden era of rock—Midnight Special, chart rivalries, and UFO’s Strangers in the Night. Plus, find out how one hotel hallway chat changed everything for Close Enemies.
