  • Highly recommended

    Fantastic podcast that includes some serious analysis and deep-dives. Theres a 5 episode behemoth on the making of Dio’s Strange Highway album - who could say no to that?

  • The love for old and new music shines through.

    Focus on Metal is my favorite music podcast. I love the in depth coverage of old and new bands, including producers, engineers, and anyone related you happen to unearth. I will admit that I jump all over your interviews with artists I grew up with, but I'm following a lot of new bands I found through your podcast, and I've noticed they make their way into my morning commute more and more. Thanks for your hard and excellent work.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP 595 - Freak of Lion
Q: How did you adjust your playing style for different drummers?
Each drummer has their own style, and I had to adjust to how Vinnie played, who was behind the beat compared to others.
EP 595 - Freak of Lion
Q: What was the status of the band at that stage right before Mark had the accident?
They were doing well with tours lined up but faced difficulties due to lack of support from their record label.
EP 595 - Freak of Lion
Q: Where are you on the West Coast?
Jerry is in Los Angeles.
EP 598 - I Am The Weapon
Q: Has it got more difficult as your body gets older to play this kind of music? How do you adapt to that?
I'm just totally not dealing with getting older. I don't want to deal with it, so I just keep it in the back of my mind.
EP 598 - I Am The Weapon
Q: Do you think, Michael, that you were out of the band for a while and that made you hungry when you got back?
Totally, 100%. When I was out of the band, I took some time off to raise my family and stuff. And when I came back to the band, I never listened to any of the new records that those guys made while I was gone.
