  • Strong 80s/90s coverage

    Great podcast for anyone who worships 80s + 90s rock. There are times when I wish he’d venture outside that era and cover “newer” bands like rival sons, dirty honey and whoever else is keeping the metal torch lit.

  • Me, me, me,me,me is how he warms up for interviews.

    I just wish this narcissist wouldn’t make it about himself. Trunk must remind you in every aspect of what he does that he knows everyone and everyone is his friend.

    Please Edward, remind us for the umpteenth time that you saw KISS at Madison Square Garden on December16, 1977.

    Well done Eddie, I too saw KISS in 1977 and was mesmerised by them through the seventies. Another great loss in my

    musical journey icon. Be well sir.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Joe Satriani, Steve Vai & John Taylor
Q: How did the SatchVai project come together and how was the recording process managed across locations?
The two guitarists describe a largely remote workflow with producers coordinating sessions from different cities, selecting session musicians tailored to each track, and gradually assembling the material toward a final master through a hands-on but distributed approach.
Zakk Wylde & Criss Angel
Q: What was your favorite moment that you spent with Ozzy?
It was always a ton of laughs; there were never any bad times. Just us cracking up laughing.
Dave Mustaine & Jay Buchanan
Q: What was the inspiration behind your solo album and how did you create it?
I felt the need to create something different, so I isolated myself in a bunker for three months, which led to a lot of introspection and songwriting.
Dave Mustaine & Jay Buchanan
Q: How did you find out about the success of your new album?
I received a text from my bandmate saying, 'We fucking did it' which at first confused me, but resulted in a very emotional conversation celebrating our hard work.
Derek Shulman & Dizzy Reed
Q: How did your experiences as a musician influence your decisions as a music executive, Derek?
Derek explains that having been in bands himself allowed him to empathize with artists he signed, influencing how he approached their careers.
