Whole Lotta Talk - Interviews that rock!

Talking about touring, favorite stage memories and music in general

Foreigner are without doubt one of the world's most important Classic Rock bands of all times. In June, Foreigner want to celebrate their 40 year anniversary on tour with their fans in Germany. And bass player Jeff Pilson promises great things! In our exclusive ROCK ANTENNE Interview, we talk to Jeff about the tour and what to expect, his favorite moments on stage and the role of music in his life. Enjoy!

Talking about the state of Rock'n'Roll and Bon Jovi's hair

Who starts a record with a song called "Rock and Roll Deserves To Die"? Well - The Darkness does and it tells pretty much everything about the band. Don't take yourself too serious, plug in your guitar and go crazy. We spoke to singer Justin Hawkins about the relationship between Jon Bon Jovi's hair and rock'n'roll, why Queen is a big influence for The Darkness and why they don't call themselves a glam rock band. Enjoy!

Talking about their career and the future plans of Bad Wolves

Things going very well for the Bad Wolves and they're grateful for that, especially for one person, who has always supported them – Five Finger Death Punch guitarist Zoltan Bathory. We met singer Tommy Vext and drummer John Boecklin to talk about their career, touring with legends like Megadeth and about the next steps for the Bad Wolves.

Talking about the new album, living with Morbus Meniére and future plans

Nobody would probably have thought that "Weather" would be the last studio album of Huey Lewis - especially not himself. Huey suffers from Morbus Meniére and the disease has now forced him to retire completely. In our exclusive ROCK ANTENNE interview, we talk to the Rock legend about his new album with The News, about how to cope with his illness, what is still possible and what the future holds for Huey Lewis. Because he may not hear everything all the time - but he sure as hell still feels it. Enjoy!

Talking about the new album and discovering the punk in folk music

Where the fun is, there are the Dropkick Murphys! Since 1996 they're rockin the shit out of irish and celtic folk and nothing seems to stop them - good for us! With there new single "Smash Shit Up" they dropped a brand new single with an unusual cover on the b-side: "The Bonnie" by scottish songwriter Gerry Cinammon. We talked to guitarist, multi-instrumentalist and former fan of the band Tim Brennan about plans for a new album, discovering the punk rock in irish folk and being lucky to know that many traditional instruments. Enjoy!

Talking about touring, the new album and drinking in underwear

Apocalyptica are a phenomenon: Cello meets Metal - a great combination both loved by fans and fellow Rock- and Metal bands. Before their show with Sabaton in Hamburg, we met with Eicca Toppinen for a little chat. We talk about tour habits and drinking sessions in underwear - but of course also about music: About the challenge of bringing Cello into Metal, about the new album and future plans, both with regards to music and collaborations. Also we discuss the ultimate question of what came first - the love for metal or the love for Cello. Enjoy!

Talking about the plans for Billy Talent and about their exciting career since 1993

It's fair enough to say that guitarist Ian D'Sa is the one who is responsible for the unique sound of Billy Talent. His guitar riffs are unmistakable with songs like "Devil In A Midnight Mass", "Fallen Leaves" or the newest single "Reckless Paradise". We talked to Ian about the next steps for Billy Talent - about a new record, a new tour or even a band documentary. Enjoy!

Talking about the current "Music&Stories" tour, a very busy 2019 and plans for new Sweet music in 2020. Enjoy!

Andy Scott from Sweet is on the road all through Germany. This time with a new touring project called "Music&Stories", for which the British Rock legend gets to interview three other legendary British Rock bands (Uriah Heep, Nazareth and Wishbone Ash) on stage about backstage stories, that have never been heard before. We met Andy Scott before his "Music&Stories" show in Munich and talked about the current tour, but also the state and future of Sweet. Enjoy!

Talking about memories, dreams and time

Dream Theater have a lot to celebrate this year: Their newest album "Distance over Time", the 20th anniversary of the legendary "Scenes from a Memory" record and of course their current tour, where the Prog legends are bringing both to the stage. In our exclusive ROCK ANTENNE interview, we talked to Jordan Rudess about concert rituals, crazy fan moments, working on new songs, personal idols and inspiration and a lot more. One of the nicest guys of possibly one of the nicest bands - enjoy!

Talking to Anti-Flag about their new album and their exciting career

More than 25 years on the road and still loud, angry and great: Political Punk's finest Anti-Flag are back with their new record "20/20 Vision" and are pointing the finger at the US-government like they never did before. A chat with singer and guitarist Justin Sane and bass player Chris#2 about ideals, activism through music and why kindness is the most Punk thing to do in these days!
