Alex Skolnick, Testament, AS Trio: "I realized not fitting in is something to be proud of" Oct 06, 2020

Show notes

At 16, Alex was one of the founding members of the metal band Testament. Alex, consistently recognized as one of the greatest metal guitarists of all time, then walked away from it all. He moved cross country from his native San Francisco to New York City… and went to college to get a degree in Jazz.

He faced loads of criticism from friends and family for doing this… but today, he's happier than ever. Also: most valuable thing Alex learned taking lessons from Joe Satriani… cold, harsh lessons learned in the music business… difference between progress and practice… pleasing others… why NOT fitting in is something to be proud of, and LOADS more stories in this rare glimpse into Alex's personal life...

Satchel from Steel Panther: "A cheap dildo is over $100 bucks… and for a really good dildo, you might wind up mortgaging your house..." Oct 01, 2020

Show notes

Do NOT listen to today's show if you are easily offended! Steel Panther is a comedic glam metal band from LA, known for their profane, misogynistic and humorous lyrics. But don't kid yourself, these guys are excellent, demanding musicians with 5 major label albums…

Satchel discusses his Charvel "Satchel" guitars… the deep and personal meaning of his songs, "Gloryhole," and "I Got What You Want," (hint, "5 ½ inches of love")... putting your own album out right out of the box… and his second choice of careers. This was a hilarious conversation, CLEARLY over the top, satire. Satchel rarely gives personal interviews like this, so listen… NOW:

Shantell Ogden: "I feel very vulnerable sharing this story, but I will…" Sep 30, 2020

Show notes

On this Shantell Ogden Interview, what it's like to be a truly independent artist, highs and lows and expectation roller coaster of being in Nashville for 15 years… why she never considered being a side person, working as a music supervisor, a low point she had and how it impacted her life, why she works with session players and doesn't play on her own records, caring about others, cow troughs, ending relationships and more. VERY sincere and kind vibes

The work ethic instilled in Shantell from growing up on a working dairy farm has taken her far. Her songs have received airplay on more than 800 country and Americana radio stations internationally, reaching Top 2 chart positions both in the U.S. and Europe, as well as appearing in featured films.
