Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

HardLore's 3 Year Anniversary Q&A Special
Q: What song from either of your respective discographies that you flat out won't play live and why?
I would say at a hardcore show, we can't really play an eight minute closing track like Crucifixion as much as I would love to.
HardLore's 3 Year Anniversary Q&A Special
Q: If you could join any band playing any instrument, what would it be?
I would play guitar in the Misfits.
HardLore's 3 Year Anniversary Q&A Special
Q: How was that tour you just did? You just did a European tour?
Yeah, I have been back home for less than 24 hours. I don't ever fly Delta. Delta Airlines can fucking suck me sideways. It is the worst major airline in my opinion.
Karl Buechner (Earth Crisis)
Q: Was there a moment that defined your entire life?
That moment was when I was involved in a car accident caused by a drunk driver, which made me realize how dangerous drugs and alcohol can be for everyone, not just users.
Todd Jones (NAILS)
Q: Are there any modern bands that you think are genuinely doing something innovative that might be looked at as a game changer in the near future?
Lockslip and Mongrel are bands I see doing this.
