  • Great KISS talk

    Just found this podcast and really enjoyed the Rock n Roll Over ep. Have to deduct a star for Mike having bad case of “To me”. Don’t need to say “…to me” after saying every opinion about a song or something. It’s all your opinions so don’t need to specify “to me” each time you say something. It’s just nonstop.

Ep. 349 - Lawrence Gowan of Styx Interview
Q: How do you feel about AI and backing tracks in live shows, and where do you draw the line between human performance and technology?
The human experience and on-stage humanity are essential; tools should serve the music without replacing the authentic energy of the performers.
Ep. 349 - Lawrence Gowan of Styx Interview
Q: What's your take on performing albums in full, like Pieces of Eight, in today's concert environment?
It's a meaningful way to present an album as a whole, providing a faithful arc and a shared experience that connects with fans on a deeper level.
Ep. 349 - Lawrence Gowan of Styx Interview
Q: Do you see Styx slowing down at all given the heavy touring schedule you described earlier?
No, there's no intention to slow down; the band plans to keep leaning into touring and creating new music as long as it feels worthy to them.
Ep. 346 - The Beatles Revolver: A Look Back Can we be objective when discussing these legends?
Q: Do you think your ratings are higher or lower for these Beatles songs just because they are Beatles songs?
None of my ratings here are because of The Beatles at all.
