Wow! Jerry Cantrell is on Talkin' Rock. Jonathon Davis from Korn hit the nail on the head between one of their songs when he called them "F'n Legends". I got the message that Jerry had a few minutes to talk the morning of the show. To say I was was stoked is an understatment.

Jerry and I discuss lots of stuff. The tour with Korn and if he still likes touring. Robert DeLeo from Stone Temple Pilots let me in on the AIC mascot, Larry (which you can follow at Larryaic). He tells me about the GNR tour, places they've played at that they never have and living the life of a rockstar. He tells me his thoughts on the Rock N' Roll Hall Of Fame. We talk about some of his favorite riffs, the possibility of an un-plugged tour, solo album and what they have coming up. 

In today's Rock News, Al Beck fills us in on the latest news about Tool, Flea and his auto-biography, a Rob Zombie Halloween exhibit and why Ozzy is going to outlast us all....it's science!

Talkin' Rock With Meltdown

The legendary Jerry Cantrell talks about the current tour with Korn, the GNR tour, the Rock Hall, and tons more.

Talkin' Rock with Jerry Cantrell

It's another packed episode, thanks for listening!

Ace Frehley starts us off. He's playing Soaring Eagle on the 29th, the last gig of the year for him. That show is with Stephen Pearcy of RATT. 

He told me he's working on his next album, Origins 3. We talked about the crazy drones flying around by his house. We also talked about the days of KISS and how big they were here in Detroit and Michigan. 

Ace is so much fun to talk to. Legend!

Bumblefoot is up next, with his new album dropping on January 24th. It's called Bumblefoot...Returns. It's his first instrumental album in 30 years! He's got some heavy-hitting guests on it as well. We talk about the video game surrounding the album, how it's coming out on vinyl and cassette, and more. 

To say he's one of the most talented guitarists out there is an understatement. 

Oscar and Alyse from a pretty new band called LYLVC join me next. They formed during the pandemic and have been making some real noise lately. Their latest song is out, called "XXX". They've had the chance to work with some great producers making new music, which we discussed. Alyse tells me about her appearance on the TV show Don't Forget the Lyrics. They're playing the Machine Shop in Flint on December 20th. 

Speaking of the Machine Shop, Jackyl played there on Thanksgiving Eve. Before that, I spoke with Jesse James Dupree. He spoke of his friendship with Travis Tritt, the only hockey game he'd attended, his home studio and the legends who've recorded there, and his connection with Harley Davidson.

The guys from Three Days Grace dropped a new single today called 'Mayday'. That's the start of what they have going on. Drummer, Neil Sanderson joined the show to discuss the single, bringing Adam Gontier back into the band, and more. He also told me about the record label he co-owns with producing legend, Howard Benson. 

Wolfgang Van Halen is up second. He came through Detroit with 3 Doors Down and Creed, so we talked for a few minutes before soundcheck. He told me about playing at the Rock Hall induction ceremony last month. Insane that he got to jam Ozzy's 'Crazy Train' with so many rock legends. We talked about opening up shows, working on new music, and his first year or marriage for starters.

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.
