On this episode of Talkin' Rock, it's one rocker, an author, and the woman who runs Metallica's very successful All Within My Hands foundation. Up first, it's the legendary drummer Gil Moore of Triumph. The Magic Power - An All-Star Tribute To Triumph drops on June 6th, and it's packed with rock heavy hitters—Slash, Alex Lifeson, Dee Snider, Dorothy, Tommy Aldridge, and a TON more. Then, he talks about upcoming plans with the band, including something called a mixed reality tour. I don't know what that is, Gil said no one does because it hasn't been done before. He explains that part of it. Next, it's music journalist/author, Martin Popoff. We discuss his new 666-page book on Iron Maiden called Hallowed By Their Name. Martin has written over 130 rock books, so he knows a thing or sixty on the topic of rock and metal bands. We did get into some rock talk, which I really wanted to do. We talked about why Maiden has had so much success around the world, specifically outside of the United States. He speaks to who he thinks is the biggest metal band in the world and lots more. I'll have Martin back again in the future, he's a great guest. Finally, Renee Richardson, who runs Metallica's All Within My Hands foundation. She speaks to what they do, the birth of the foundation, how she got involved, and more. She also co-hosts the Metallica Report podcast, which is very well done. Fun conversation with Renee. Thanks for listening!

On the 64th Episode of the Album Review Crew of Shout It Out Loudcast, Tom, Zeus & special guest, rock journalist, author and fellow Pantheon podcaster, Martin Popoff review the 1980 classic album by Rush, "Permanent Waves" As we have stated before, Rush is known for its incredible musicianship with Geddy Lee on vocals and bass, Alex Lifeson on guitar and perhaps the greatest rock drummer of all time, Neil Peart. Permanent Waves finds Rush attempting to become mainstream and commercial. The album was once again produced by the band and Terry Brown. The album cover is another classic Rush cover done by Hugh Syme. The album features more accessible songs and some classic Rush progressive songs as well. The band also experimented with sounds and even some reggae. The album went to #4 US Billboard album charts and went on to become certified platinum. Songs like The Spirit Of Radio and Freewill became concert staples. As usual the boys breakdown and dissect the tracks and rank the songs. They then rank the album and the album cover against the previous albums reviewed on the Album Review Crew. This was Tom's pick. Find out if Zeus still hates Rush or does Rush lovers Tom & Martin convince him that he's wrong. So grab your witch's broom and rock out!

The boys marry many boomer icons, are surprised to learn the one-winged dove is really white, and use the scientific method to conduct an autopsy on the corpse of Stevie Nicks's solo hit, “Edge of Seventeen.” News items and digressions include Alex Lifeson's Envy of None, the Zapruder film, and food poisoning.
For 40 years, Dream Theater has been one of the biggest progressive rock bands in the world, if not the biggest. The driving force behind their music has been legendary drummer Mike Portnoy, but for more than a decade, he and the band were split. That all changed last year when Mike rejoined the band and they recorded their latest album, “Parasomnia.” He sits down with Tom Power to talk about reuniting with Dream Theater and Rush's influence on the band. If you like this conversation, you'll probably also enjoy Tom's interviews with Geddy Lee or Alex Lifeson.

Though the influential punk band Hüsker Dü has long been disbanded, its co-founder Bob Mould has never stopped making music. Back in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, Hüsker Dü cut a path for countless indie bands to follow, like Nirvana, Pixies and Green Day. But before all that, Bob was — as he describes it — a precocious kid growing up in a small farming town near the Canadian border. On the heels of releasing his 15th solo album, “Here We Go Crazy,” Bob joins guest host Garvia Bailey to look back on his life in music. He tells us about his childhood years, how Montreal helped shape him as an artist, and how a Ramones show changed everything for him. In case you missed it, you might also enjoy Tom Power's conversation with Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson.
On this episode, two Canadian guitarists. Alex Liefson is first. The latest Envy of None album dropped last week. He talked about the album and his thoughts on solos - there are only a few on this record - and how he would describe the EON music, as well as working with Andy Curran on it. Of course, we talked RUSH. How was it to create with a guy like Neil Peart? Alex has nothing but glowing things to say about the late drumming master. They also have a new 50th-anniversary package out. He also talks of his over 50-year friendship with Geddy Lee. There are some very funny moments when we discussed his appearances on The Trailer Park Boys and in the movie I Love You, Man. Really funny! Up next, it's Phil X. The Jon Bon Jovi guitarist's new album POW! Right In The Kisser is out now. It features a different drummer on each song. Phil talks to that and working with these legends. He spoke to the first time he took the stage with JBJ, in front of 50,000 people! Also his thoughts on the upcoming Triumph tribute album that he's a part of. That's just for starters in the great conversation with phil. Thanks for listening! Meltdown
‘ENVY OF NONE' RELEASE NEW ALBUM AND NEW SINGLE ‘STYGIAN WAVES' ZOOM EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH LEGENDARY RUSH GUITARIST ALEX LIFESON Envy Of None are the living, breathing definition of a supergroup. No other band on earth could rightly claim to have Alex Lifeson – one of rock's most influential visionaries – heading up guitar duties, with Andy Curran of Coney Hatch and Soho 69 overseeing bass/programming as well as producer extraordinaire Alfio Annibalini on keyboards. However, the star in this band could very well be its youngest member – American singer-songwriter Maiah Wynne – whose wonderfully emotive vocals are able to spin the music in new exciting directions that thrill to the core. Envy Of None are back with their much anticipated second album, Stygian Wavz, released on Kscope March 14th. To celebrate the announcement, Envy Of None have shared a new single – the album title track ‘Stygian Waves' – alongside a new music video. The 11-track album is available now in multiple formats including colored vinyl, black vinyl, CD, Blu-ray, digital and a deluxe-edition box set.

After Rush ended, Alex Lifeson wasn't sure if he'd ever make music again. The Canadian guitarist had toured the world with his best friends from high school and changed rock music, so he felt like he had been there and done that. But when Alex heard a young singer named Maiah Wynne, he was transfixed by her voice and lyrics. That led him to form his new band, Envy of None. Alex sits down with Tom Power to talk about how that group came together, the early days of Rush, and how at 17 he decided he was destined for a life of rock and roll. If you enjoy this conversation, you might want to check out Tom's interview with Rush lead singer Geddy Lee or Extreme guitarist Nuno Bettencourt.

In this episode, we dive into the nuances of networking and making meaningful connections in the music industry. Our guest, bassist Luis Espaillat, shares his insights on navigating the professional landscape, from the importance of saying "yes" to opportunities to the value of versatility and immersion in one's craft. We explore Luis' musical journey, from his time at Berklee College of Music to his diverse collaborations with artists across genres. The conversation also touches on the challenges and rewards of touring, the role of social media in personal branding, and the art of preparation and improvisation. Additionally, we discuss the concept of "drumming roulette" and the importance of pushing boundaries and embracing new musical experiences. This episode offers valuable lessons for musicians and industry professionals alike, highlighting the power of adaptability, authenticity, and a genuine passion for the craft. Luis Espaillat is a multi-faceted bassist and musician whose career has spanned many genres and taken him around the world.

In the studio, Luis can be heard in various genres from the modern country sounds of Bailey Zimmerman's multi-million stream and counting hit, “NeverComin' Home,” country legends like Michael Martin Murphey to contemporary country, Juno award nominees Autumn Hill, the #1 Country Christian song, “I'm There” by Buddy Jewell, TV commercials for the likes of Ford Trucks and Zaxby's to the Billboard Top 20 hard rock sounds of Eve To Adam. His sense and respect for the art of the song itself has made him in demand for many songwriters and producers not only in Nashville, but also Los Angeles and New York City. On the stage, Luis has performed with country stars Jon Pardi, Brett Eldredege (for his big band Christmas tours), Lee Ann Womack, Jo Dee Messina, Ty Herndon, Lee Greenwood, Trace Adkins, Jamie O'Neal, Jimmy Wayne, Lindsay Ell, and Pam Tillis, legendary singer/songwriters such as Gavin DeGraw and Jim Messina, rockers such as Tom Keifer of Cinderella, Tantric, The Guess Who, Tony Harnell and Bo Bice, progressive instrumentalist like Johnny Hiland, and even artists that defy normal convention such as country rappers Cowboy Troy and Colt Ford, just to name a few.

Way back in Episode 67, I had the pleasure of speaking with Maiah Wynne about her involvement with Envy of None, a project featuring Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson, on which she sang lead vocals. Maiah is back with her debut solo album, and the talented singer-songwriter has made an exquisite first solo impression with Out of the Dark, a heartbreakingly beautiful collection of songs that span 10 years of her life. In addition to discussing the album's songs track by track, Maiah was kind enough to talk about what's next for Envy of None, some of her struggles that led to the new album's themes, Lifeson's involvement on some of the songs on her album, learning about making videos, and more.

February 14, 1975 saw the release of the second album by Canadian power trio Rush, Fly By Night. But it was the debut of Neil Peart with the band - a well read and empathetic man who would go on to be hailed as one of the greatest rock drummers of all time. Not only would his attention to detail but his relentless challenging of himself pushed Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson to continue to grow. Neil also took over as the lyricist for the band mixing in pieces from the many books that kept him fascinated. From Ayn Rand to JRR Tolkien, Neil injects his literary phrases into hard driving and otherworldly riffs that are signature to Rush. Songs like Anthem and Fly By Night are as rock solid 50 years later as the day they were released and Neil's lyrics of wanderlust and yearning for a unique life continue to offer hope. By-Tor and the Snow Dog saw Rush starting to grapple with the more progressive rock they admired coming from Yes and is the start of the concepts that would drive them to greatness on 2112 and Hemispheres. Though Alex Lifeson's guitar is fierce throughout the rockers, he also breaks out nylon for Making Memories, Rivendell and In The End - we even get to hear a little slide from Lerxst! The final 3 tracks may not be the most memorable in the catalog but it shows the boys were still willing to experiment, never to be pigeon-holed. For Rush fans, this is a classic.

It wasn't long ago that we were getting our first listen to Today Was Yesterday, a new band that this guy Alex Lifeson was working with. Listeners of RushRash911 have heard Chaz and Schatz discovering more about the band every week, and now, it's mastclass time as they visit with Ty Dennis, drummer of Today Was Yesterday. The guys have a blast getting to know Ty, learning about his very diverse musical upbringing, and the ins and outs of being a professional drummer and getting to do things like: • Playing with Robbie Kreiger and Ray Manzerek in The Doors of the 21st Century • Being in Robbie Kreiger's house band and getting to jam with some of the biggest names in the business • Form Today Was Yesterday with his partner Angel Barbera, bassist and multi-instrumentalist • Driving Alex Lifeson home from a gig and having it turn into him guesting on your album • Getting to play some of your favorite Rush songs with the guy who wrote them • Getting files from the guy who wrote all those songs, but the files he's sending are songs he's writing with you • Playing in the ultimate David Bowie tribute band on the side The Wheel gives us Limelight of 1980'2 moving pictures. Interesting in that we get to unpack the song with someone who's actually played it with Lerxst! Do you really wonder where the voting ends up on this one? (Yes, we still voted , call it a formality!)
