Lemmy Kilmister - Gründer, Bassist, Sänger und einziger Fixstern der Rockband "Motörhead" ist vor zehn Jahren gestorben, am 28. Dezember 2015 und vor 80 Jahren am 24. Dezember 1945 in die Welt gerutscht. Die legendäre britische Band Motörhead wurde vor 50 Jahren gegründet. Wie lässt sie sich rockhistorisch einordnen? Hardrock, Heavy Metal oder einfach schneller Rock n Roll? Und welche Rollen spielte Lemmy, die ikonische Outlawfigur? Thomas Mießgang im Gespräch mit dem Musikwissenschaftler Dietmar Elflein („Schwermetallanalysen. Die musikalische Sprache des Heavy Metal“, Transcript, 2010)

We've had the pleasure of talking with Mike Pope for years now… exploring his innovative contributions to bass electronics, spending a day with him as an educator at Berklee, and of course, enjoying his phenomenal performances both live and on countless recordings. Many of you might even remember our last interview back in 2020 (read it here).Now, we're especially excited to catch up with Mike about his brand-new album, The Parts You Keep, released on August 22, 2025. This project is a stunning mix of jazz standards and original compositions, and we'll be diving into the stories, inspirations, and creative process that brought it all together.One of the most touching highlights of the album is hearing Mike's mom, Ann Almond Pope, on classical piano for two tracks. Her playing adds such a beautiful, personal dimension to the music… you won't want to miss it.Join me as we explore Mike's latest masterpiece, his future plans, and how you can catch him live in performance.Here's Mike Pope!This interview first appeared in Bass Musician Magazine in September 2025Go to jazzguitartoday.com and bassmusicianmagazine.com more interviews and lessons.

Bassist Ross Schodek…I've always been a huge fan of Poncho Sanchez's music, so you can imagine how excited I was to dive into his latest album, Live at the Belly Up Tavern.

This time I am hanging out with Mike Leon, current bassist for CKY, and Igorrr. (Former member of Soulfly, Havok and The Absence.) We dig into how a kid who was obsessed with CKY movies and weird heavy bands ended up actually joining his favorite band, and how that path wound through DIY world tours, insane lineups and a whole lot of van miles. Mike walks through his whole journey: discovering heavy music in the pre-internet days, cutting his teeth in The Absence, jumping into Havok, then getting the call from Soulfly, and finally landing in CKY literally days after leaving Soulfly. We get into the “law of attraction” side of all this, but with the real-world piece too, the boring but crucial part, consistency and doing the work for years when no one is watching. Of course we nerd out on bass gear and tone. Mike talks about his first Fender PJ that felt like opening a treasure chest, his love affair with ESP basses, how his ESP MLB4 signature came to be, why longer scale lengths and heavier strings matter for low tunings, and how the humble Boss ODB-3 and a chorus pedal get you straight into Peter Steele territory. We also get into NAMM show chaos, what good artist relations actually looks like, and how his day job at Enki has him helping other artists solve real on-the-road problems. We round it out with kids discovering heavy music, whether a new “Warped Tour era” is coming, and a spicy pizza take involving pineapple. If you are into CKY, Soulfly, metal bass tone, ESP gear, NAMM stories or just want to hear how sticking with it can literally change your life, this one is for you.

The band Phish has toured for over 40 years. One of the draws of their legendary live shows—which can go on for 8 hours—is finding moments of “flow,” when the band members lock into an improvised jam, finding new musical ideas in real time.Phish fans live for these transcendent moments, but so do the musicians—to the point that Mike Gordon, the band's bass player, is funding scientific research to better understand flow state.Host Flora Lichtman sits down with Mike and his research collaborator, neuroscientist Greg Appelbaum, to unpack their research so far and how it's helping to inform other neuroscience.Guests:Mike Gordon is bassist and co-founder of the rock band Phish.

I recently learned about Dr. Emma Dayhuff's new album, “Innovations & Lineage: The Chicago Project,”, which has been garnering a lot of attention, and I wanted to learn more.When it came to bringing this album to life, she knew exactly who she wanted on board. She assembled a remarkable group of musicians: Dee Alexander on vocals, Isaiah Collier on tenor sax, and Kahil El'Zabar on percussion.Recorded live, the album captures the energy of the performance while presenting a clear, resonant bass sound that anchors the music beautifully. It's both a nod to Chicago's rich jazz tradition and a glimpse into the innovative directions Dr. Dayhuff is exploring in her work.Today, we'll hear about her musical journey, the inspiration behind this album, and what she has planned next. Please join me in welcoming Dr. Emma Dayhuff.This interview first appeared in Bass Musician Magazine in October 2025Go to jazzguitartoday.com and bassmusicianmagazine.com more interviews and lessons.

KCSU music director Ria sat down with Jared Swilley of Black Lips ahead of their Dever show at the Mission Ballroom on October 28th, 2025. On this tour the band is supporting Viagra Boys whilst performing songs from their latest album “Season of the Peach”. The two discuss the excitement of touring, the juxtaposition of telling intense stories with a lighthearted sound, and how aliens might react to bird sounds.Ria JanapatiWe are here at the Mission Ballroom, October 2[7]th, [2025]. You are Jared of the Black Lips-Jared SwilleyJared, and you are?Ria I am Ria, Music Director of KCSU; I've got some questions. Jared Cool. Ria First one being: You've been doing this music thing for a hot minute now, are there things about being on the road specifically that change for you excitement level wise? Jared Oh sure, yeah. There's a different, like, excitement level. I've been touring since I was 16. We drove- the first like US tour we ever did was pretty miserable, but it was still the funnest thing; like, by my standards today, it would be pretty miserable, but I remember seeing the desert for the first time, and that's like, that excitement- I can remember the excitement I felt, like, the first time I saw a cactus. But like, now, you know, I slept on a pretty drive today because I've seen a lot of that stuff. So that changes. I still love being on stage and stuff. But yeah, I mean, just like, anything you do forever, things get boring. Ria Are there any cities that you visited a first time and you, like, couldn't wait to go back? Or maybe the opposite, you were really excited, but it wasn't your fav. Jared Oh, I won't mention any cities I didn't like, because I figure it's best not to say negative things about people or places. But there's... like, yeah, a lot of cities. I mean, talk about [the] excitement of being someplace. I remember the feeling of the first time we went to Europe to play; I couldn't believe it, like, because it was, it felt really cool. And I wanted to go back to all those cities, and I have been back to pretty much all of them. Or, like, you know, like Tokyo, like going there, I was like, "I have to come back here. It's awesome." So most, most places I would like, I, you know, there's, there's very few places I'd be like, “I never want to go there again.” So, yeah, I like most places.Ria I've seen that you guys have come to be known for pulling some antics during live shows, especially more in the DIY spaces. Has there been anything you've really wanted to do during a live show that would just be like a fun little act that no one saw coming? Jared There is one that we've been talking about doing... because we've done, like, all sorts of crazy stuff, and we're, like, older now, so I'm not trying to, like, make anyone upset anymore, like, do anything crazy. But like, have you ever seen the Wizard of Oz? Ria Absolutely. Jared So you know, like, when the Munchkins, like those guys come out as, like, the lollipop... the old guys? We want to- I guess I'm spilling the beans here, but it'll surprise people when we do it. But like, we kind of, like… We have this song that's about eating candy on our new record, and we want to just like, stop in the middle, hopefully, at a really huge show, like something like this [Mission Ballroom], or at a big festival, and, like, drop our instruments and go into the lollipop guild dance and then just start playing again. That's kind of like what we want to do.Ria Nice. A little surprise, a little dance break. Jared YeahRia Yeah, awesome. You just have to get the choreography down. Jared Yeah.Ria And then your newest album, Season of the Peach, I noticed it takes on a lot of different genre influences. There's some rockabilly sound, there's some 60s stuff, some folk stuff going on, just all over the place. So when you're taking inspiration to create something new like that, where do you find yourself looking?Jared I'm always looking in the past, and that's just for me. Fortunately, in this band, like all five members [contribute equally], right? So that's why it can kind of seem like it's all over the place, like musically. But, I mean, I only listen to, like, very old music, so that's kind of really what I'm pulling from; I listen to, like, old country and doo-wop and rockabilly and blues and stuff like that, so that's usually... I'm just trying to recreate stuff in a kind of, like, not as good way as the stuff I really like.Ria Back on your 2020 album, there's a song called "Angola Rodeo", and that song really interested me in the storytelling of it. It seemed like a bit of a silly take on, like, real life events. So-Jared YeahRia When you're going about doing that. Where do you draw the line between like, not taking yourself too seriously?Jared Well, you want to like, not like... or at least with me, I want to be like, if I'm talking about something very serious, and that's a very serious thing... Do you know the story of, like, the Angola rodeo? Ria Yeah, it's a prison rodeo.Jared Yeah, prison rodeo, and we actually went to it. I'd always wanted to go, and we went, and it's like, you know, it's pretty controversial. I happen to be in favor of it, just because it's like, if you're doing life in prison, or if you're on death row, like, it's the best day of your life when you get to do... They actually do it for like, a few months of the year. But you know, you don't want to be too preachy or too sappy, so you got to have your tongue firmly in cheek. My theory has always been, if you have, like, a really sad subject matter, make it a very poppy sounding song. And if you have really happy sounding stuff, it should be like, darker. That's kind of like how I like to do things. Ria Yeah, just flip them on their head. Jared And it's still, like... The lyrics are still like, kind of serious; but it's like a fun kind of sounding song. But you know, the Angola Prison is, like, one of the darkest places in the United States. It's pretty rough there.Ria I just thought that was really interesting, because on a first listen, if you're not really paying attention, it'll just be like, "Oh, this is a fun little tune-Jared There is, like, a big, like, stark contrast when you go to that rodeo, because you are in this just incredibly dark place. You drive in and you see death row, and you see the fields they're all working in, but then you go in there, and it's like, a really happy environment; like the prisoners... It's like, all guys on best behavior, but they've been working; like, they sell their arts and crafts that day. Their families are allowed to come in. They can actually have like, conjugal visits with their family in there. So it's like, it's super dark, ...
I've been noticing a lot of buzz around The Big Ol' Nasty Getdown on social media lately, and it definitely caught my attention.

Als 15jähriger ein Obdachloser, als Twenty-Something ein Superstar: Jay Kay, der Frontsänger der Acid-Jazz Band Jamiroquai, lernte Höhen und Tiefen im Leben schon früh kennen. Ins Business eingestiegen ist er als Weltverbesserer, bald einmal wurden schnelle Autos wichtiger. Gemessen an diesen Bewegungen ist seine Musik im Grunde überraschend beständig: knackige Beats und interessante Basslinien, eine Stimme irgendwo zwischen Stevie Wonder und Prince.

Billy Joel, John Fogerty, Bassist David Santos Kills Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson I was so looking forward to catching up with bassist David Santos after almost 40 years. Insane in itself! The sit-down stunningly exceeded my expectations. What crazy fun! David regaled us with story after story… starting with gigging for me on Bleecker Street, doing weddings, The Ringo AllStar Band, sans Ringo, with Billy Preston, Lou Gramm, Mark Farner, Felix Cavaliere, Liberty DeVito, Mark Rivera, Randy Bachman, and a backup singer named Wendy Moten who would change and share his life. They're a rare rock n' roll romance success story, today, 30+ years later. David took us through his 3ish years with Billy Joel, how he got the gig, and how he lost it, 13 years with John Fogerty, how he got it and then lost it, Melissa Etheridge, 7 years, how it got it and lost it, Fleetwood Mac, 1 day, how he got it, lost it, 5 yrs with Crosby, Stills, & Nash, getting it, losing it - does there seem to be a pattern here... yup, hysterically summed up each time. Sure, it's funny now, in retrospect, as David has great perspective, self-awareness, good humor, and humility. He's amassed wisdom to add to his formidable talent, perseverance, and ambition. And he always lands bass up! Unlike me, who literally did an unintended mic drop. As was pointed out, this meaty conversation had comedy, drama, romance, intrigue, horror, heart, and life lessons galore. I could have talked to David all night and still have wanted more. And more, I'll get. We have a face-to-face reunion in the reals with Wendy and Snuffy in Nashville coming up. Can you imagine the music those three could make? Don't know if that's on the menu, but do know we'll be seeing Wendy at the Grand Ole Opry, and sharing great local eats! What a way to ring in my next year! David Santos Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson Wednesday, 10/8/25, 5 PM PT/ 8 PM ET Streamed Live on my FB & YouTube Links in the Comments Replay here: http://bit.ly/46TQ3M4 and here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGNYDGbnpE4&t=3s
Vielleicht sagt Ihnen der Name Jörg Holdinghausen auf den ersten Blick wenig – doch die Chancen, dass sie ihn schon einmal live gesehen haben oder die ein oder andere Platte zuhause haben, auf der er zu hören ist, stehen nicht schlecht. Schließlich war bzw. ist er Bassist bei Tele und Wir Sind Helden, und wirkte auch bei Element Of Crime, den Solo-Abenteuern von Judith Holofernes oder Kat Frankie schon das ein oder andere Mal in dieser Position mit. Nun veröffentlicht er erstmals ein Album unter eigenem Namen: Ende November wird "Da draußen" erscheinen, das Holdinghausen als eine "Liedermacher-Platte" bezeichnet, und das in der Tat Erinnerungen an, Leonard Cohen und Georges Brassens, aber auch Reinhard Mey wachruft. Im September präsentierte er bereits einen besonderen "Doppelvorboten", nämlich gab es die mit Klezmer-Elementen spielende erste Single aus dem Album sowohl in einer deutschen Version mit dem Titel "Traum und Wirklichkeit" als auch in der französischen Chanson-Adaption "Rêve et Réalité" von Antoine Villoutreix zu hören. Was wir von "Da draußen" sonst noch zu erwarten haben, und ob vielleicht auch eine Live-Vorstellung geplant ist, erfahren wir heute im Interview von Jörg Holdinghausen.
