Another big interview on Talkin' Rock. Nicko McBrain was nice enough to Zoom in and tell be about the new album, Senjetsu, which drops on September 5th. Nicko is a really nice guy and told me about how the album has been finished for two years, some of the writing process, mostly with Steve Harris, and more. He talked about the recent passing of Charlie Watts and Joey Jordison as well.....

Then, it's Molly Rennick of the band Living Dead Girl. They dropped their debut album a couple moths back. Why name the band Living Dead Girl? She explains. She talks about her influences, growing up in Canada, making the move to the Sates, her parental support and LOTS more.

Thanks for listening!

Talkin' Rock With Meltdown

Talkin' Rock with Iron Maiden's Nicko McBrain and Molly Rennick of Living Dead Girl

Again, lots happening on this episode of Talkin' Rock with Meltdown. 

Jerry Horton of Papa Roach is first. We discuss their 2025 plans. Tour, new music, and more. He speaks to playing Detroit, trouble the band may have gotten into on tour, and playing with a marching band on stage in Columbus, Ohio. That's just for starters. 

Michael Starr has the honors next. "Feel The Steel" is 15 years old and the band is celebrating. They're heading back out on tour and playing a song they wrote with Chad from Nickelback. He talks about that experience, as well as the addition of Spyder to the band, Superbowl predictions, and more. 

We wrap it up with Eric Bass of Shinedown. The guy does it all, including writing, producing, and playing an entire solo album. Eric Bass Present: I Had A Name drops on February 28th. He tells me this project has been done for a while. We talk about his depression, a hero he lost who taught him a ton around the recording studio, and questions from bandmates Barry, Brent, and their head of security, John.

What a fun conversation. The topics with Paul included the new box set release on November 8th, some big gigs they played here in the States, the last-ever concert in their hometown, the documentary ‘THE TRAGICALLY HIP: NO DRESS REHEARSAL’, and more. It was truly an honor to speak with Paul; he was very candid and interesting.

If you get the chance, the documentary is well worth the watch!

Give this a listen and crank up some HIP!

Talkin' Rock with Paul Langlois of The Tragically Hip

Two frontmen on today's Talkin' Rock Podcast. 

First up, it's Bobby Amaru from Saliva. It's his time of year since he's all inked up with horror movie characters. We discuss Halloween, some of his favorite scary movies, and more. 

The band is dropping a new song called "Time Bomb" on November 1st. He tells me about that and working with Howard Benson. We talk about the legacy of guitarist Wayne Swinny, on what would've been his 61st birthday. Bobby talks about keeping his spirit alive, and how much material they have from the guitarist. That's for starters. 

Up next, it's Lee Jennings from The Funeral Portrait. The band has had a whirlwind year. He talks about that, dropping their new album, Suffocate City - which is killer. 

We talked about the chain Buc-ee's. “I’m a huge fan of Buc-ee’s because when you’re on tour, clean bathrooms are hard to come by,” Lee laughs. “I posted about it a few times, and our fans started turning me into Bucky (the mascot). We even made shirts with me as Bucky, and they sell out every time!”

We also talk about being "Zesty"....LOL

You can watch both of these interviews on the RIFF TV section at wrif.com.
