Brett and Erin V (of killpandakill fame) had a chance to sit down on the Iced Earth tour bus and talk to band leader and founder Jon Schaffer. He proved to be a very open fellow talking about the bands latest release Dystopia, their new singer (Stu Block), and he talks some about his activism and political views. This very engaging interview was recorded during Iced Earth’s 2012 North American tour they co-headlined with Symphony X with support from Warbringer (who we also got a chance to talk to) and Evergrey. Jon Schaffer is a fascinating individual with lots of great opinions, highly recommended to check this one out. We finish off the podcast with a preview of Anthem, the second single from Dystopia.

Erin V from KillPandaKill went out with Brett to interview California rockers Kyng on their 2012 tour with In Flames, Trivium and Veil of Maya. The guys were funny and open and this is a really fun interview, plus we’ve included a preview of the single I Don’t Believe at the end of the interview. Check out Kyng’s first album Trampled Sun, it rocks!

 

Erin V from KillPandaKill supported by Brett bring you another great interview with Italian metal band Lacuna Foil currently out touring in support of their 6th studio album Dark Adreniline

Warrant was my favorite band, and in most ways Jani Lane was Warrant.

 

When Brett texted me about Jani’s passing I sent him a message about 20 minutes later telling him I wanted to do podcast on Jani and Brett said he was in. We’ve done some work to make it as good as possible pretty much every day since. That was on Aug.11 2011, today is Feb.1 2012 and it’s finally ready. Today Jani would have been 48.

 

I never expected the project to be so big, or need so much work, but it was obvious soon in that it was incredibly personal to me, and I couldn’t accept it not being done right in Jani’s memory. I owed him at least that.

 

We’ve got rare stuff in here, music, interview clips, as well as our own thoughts and memories. I’m very very very proud of what Brett and I have accomplished, it really took my ever evolving vision and brought it into reality. I hope you all listen and enjoy. Happy Birthday Jani.
