Ep 873 : Brad Gillis guitarist of Night Ranger Aug 24, 2026

Show notes

Today on Let There Be Talk, I'm sitting down with a true guitar legend — Brad Gillis.

Brad is one of those players whose sound you know the second you hear it. He helped define the sound of Night Ranger with those killer dual-guitar harmonies, and he also stepped into some pretty massive shoes when he joined Ozzy Osbourne's band following the passing of Randy Rhoads.

We're talking about the early days, Night Ranger, Ozzy, Randy Rhoads, the legendary Speak of the Devil record, life on the road, and what it was like being one of the guitar players at the center of some of the biggest moments in rock history.

Brad Gillis is a killer guitar player, a Rock n Roller and a huge part of the history of American hard rock.

Let's get into it. This is Brad Gillis — right here on Let There Be Talk.

Ep 872 : Tyler Measom and Craig A. Williams directors of the brand-new documentary If These Walls Could Rock. Aug 16, 2026

Show notes

My guests today are the directors of the brand-new Sunset Marquis documentary If These Walls Could Rock, Tyler Measom and Craig A. Williams.

The Sunset Marquis wasn't just a hotel — it became a home away from home for rock stars. It's a place where records were written, friendships were made, parties happened, and some serious rock 'n' roll history went down.

Tyler and Craig take us deep inside the story of this legendary hotel and the musicians, bands, producers, and characters who have passed through its doors over the decades.

We're talking rock 'n' roll history, Hollywood, music, and the incredible stories that made the Sunset Marquis so much more than just a place to stay.

This is a great one. Let's get into it.

Ep 871 : Comedy Gives Back With Co-Founders Zoe Friedman and Amber J. Lawson. Aug 14, 2026

Show notes

Today on Let There Be Talk, I'm very excited to have two incredible people joining me who are doing something really important for the comedy community — Zoe Friedman and Amber J. Lawson, the co-founders of Comedy Gives Back.

Comedy is supposed to make people laugh, but behind the scenes, comedians are dealing with many of the same struggles everybody else faces — mental health, addiction, financial problems, and just the pressures of trying to make a living in this business. Zoe and Amber saw that there was a real need for comedians to have somewhere to turn, and they built Comedy Gives Back to provide support, resources, and a safety net for people in the comedy community when they need it most.

Today we're going to talk about how Comedy Gives Back started, why this organization is so important, what they're seeing within the comedy world right now, and what comedians can do if they're struggling or simply need some help.

This is a really meaningful conversation, and I'm honored to have them here. Zoe Friedman and Amber J. Lawson, the co-founders of Comedy Gives Back — right now on Let There Be Talk.

Ep 869 : Phil Lewis of L.A. GUNS Aug 03, 2026

Show notes

Today on Let There Be Talk I sit down with one of the true survivors of rock 'n' roll, Phil Lewis, the unmistakable voice of L.A. Guns.

From the wild days of the Sunset Strip to today, Phil has lived it all. We dive into the band's incredible legacy, the making of classic records like L.A. Guns and Cocked & Loaded, the chemistry between Phil and Tracii Guns, and how the band has found a creative second wind over the last several years with a string of killer new albums and relentless touring. We also talk about the brand-new live release, Live From The Guild Theatre, why L.A. Guns is still firing on all cylinders, and what keeps him inspired after decades on the road.

This is a conversation about longevity, songwriting, surviving the music business, and what it really takes to keep a rock 'n' roll band alive. Phil is brutally honest, and full of incredible stories from one of the greatest eras in rock history.

If you love hard rock, the Sunset Strip, and hearing it straight from someone who lived every minute of it, you're going to love this episode.

Thanks for tuning in, and don't forget to subscribe to Let There Be Talk on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen. Keep the candles lit.

Ep 868 : Matt Cameron, Drummer - Soundgarden, Temple Of The Dog, Pearl Jam Jul 27, 2026

Show notes

Today on Let There Be Talk, I've got one of the greatest rock drummers of all time joining me—Matt Cameron.

When you talk about musicians who helped shape the sound of Seattle and completely change the course of rock music, Matt Cameron is at the top of the list. From his groundbreaking work with Soundgarden, to the emotional brilliance of Temple of the Dog, to holding down the drum throne in Pearl Jam for over a quarter century, his résumé is simply untouchable.

Matt's playing has always been the perfect combination of power, groove, creativity, and precision. Whether it's the odd-time signatures of "Gun," the thunder of "Rusty Cage," the emotion of "Hunger Strike," or the driving force behind Pearl Jam's incredible live shows, he's always served the song while pushing the music forward.

Today we dive into his incredible journey—from the early Seattle club days and the explosion of the grunge movement, to recording legendary albums, life on the road, working with Chris Cornell, and so many other iconic musicians, and what keeps him inspired after decades at the highest level.

If you're a fan of rock, drumming, songwriting, or just hearing stories from someone who's truly lived music history, you're going to love this episode.

Please welcome the one and only Matt Cameron.

Ep 867 : Corey Glover singer, songwriter of Living Colour Jul 20, 2026

Show notes

Today on a brand new episode of Let There Be Talk, I've got one of the greatest voices in rock music joining me—the one and only Corey Glover.

From the moment Living Colour exploded onto the scene with Vivid, Corey helped redefine what heavy music could be. Songs like "Cult of Personality," "Open Letter (To a Landlord)," and "Love Rears Its Ugly Head" weren't just incredible records—they changed the conversation. For nearly four decades, Living Colour has blended hard rock, funk, soul, jazz, and fearless social commentary into a sound that's completely their own.

Corey has also built an incredible career outside the band, from solo records to acting, collaborations, and countless unforgettable performances. And now he's part of an exciting new project, ONE TRIBE NATION, an all-star collective that's paying tribute to the music that shaped them. Their latest release is a powerful live version of the Black Sabbath classic "The Wizard," with Corey delivering a vocal performance that reminds you exactly why he's one of the finest frontmen in rock.

Today we dive into the legacy of Living Colour, the band's influence on generations of musicians, the creative spark behind ONE TRIBE NATION, what it means to reinterpret a Black Sabbath classic, and why Corey is still pushing himself creatively after all these years.

Turn it up, spread the word, and please enjoy my conversation with the incredible Corey Glover.
