Meltdown: Lockdown – Day 286
I’ve lost track of the days….
Yesterday was a great day full of awesome conversations with a couple great musicians.
First up, I talked with Jay from the Rival Sons via Instagram. That was killer! About an hour before the interview I got a call from the record company. They told me that Jay would probably sing a song and that I should back out of the picture if I wanted to. So, that’s what I did….hilarity ensued! LOL You can watch the streaming interview here. It’s a very entertaining interview….
Up next, my Talkin’ Rock interview with Megadeth’s, David Ellefson. This is the third or fourth time interviewing David in the last couple years. I’ve developed a friendship with him over that time, he’s just one of the greatest guys. I surprised him by getting former Megadeth drummer, Chuck Behler on the call for a bit. He was genuinely excited that Chuck was on the call.
Jr. really gave me the full, in depth, as to what was currently going on with the band. He said the band has all the new material demo’d out and is continuing to tweak songs here and there, until they can get in the studio when this whole lockdown ends. He’s really fired-up about the songs and said “management was, like, ‘Oh my gosh! This is next level, beyond ‘Dystopia’. This is absolutely perfect. This is the next-level record for MEGADETH.” I cannot wait to hear it!
You can hear that whole interview here. It’s a GREAT listen!
As I type this, at 7:55 am, I’m preparing to talk to David Coverdale for the Talkin’ Rock podcast today. He’s one of my absolute faves to speak with…..can’t wait. He’s also the best rock star to follow on Twitter.
Be well, guys…talk soon.
