Former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted sits down for an in-depth conversation about his battle with throat cancer and his triumphant return to music. He discusses the Chophouse Band tour, including headline shows and dates supporting Blackberry Smoke, culminating in two nights at the historic Ryman Auditorium. Jason opens up about why he plays guitar and sings in The Chophouse Band rather than bass, his painting career, and offers candid reflections on Metallica's legacy including the Black Album and the controversial bass mix on 'And Justice for All.' He also touches on the unrealized Van Halen tribute project and emphasizes the importance of cancer screening and early detection. After that, Phil Collins sits down with Eddie Trunk to talk about his long-overdue induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist. Phil opens up about how the recognition caught him completely off guard, despite selling over 100 million albums both solo and with Genesis. He takes listeners back to the creation of his landmark album Face Value, revealing how personal struggles and an empty house led to some of his most iconic work. Phil shares the fascinating origin story of 'In the Air Tonight,' from its improvised lyrics to that legendary drum break, and discusses how his solo success actually helped Genesis break through in America.

Interview by Kris PetersHillbilly Vegas' dynamic sound caught the ears of an independent label in Nashville in 2011, and their first album Ringo Manor was released and sold more than 10,000 copies – driven by the hit single Little Miss Rough and Tumble.The band has gone onto chart five songs on Billboard's Rock charts, including Let It Ride – which remained on the chart for 13 weeks and reached #10, Feels Good, High Time For A Good Time, Hell To Pay, Two GunTown, and fan favorite Shake It Like A Hillbilly. The band has earned a reputation for rousing live shows-bringing a loud, party-like atmosphere that is all-inclusive.They've shown they have a broad appeal across different genres, pleasing crowds while performing shows with rockers Blackberry Smoke, The Kentucky Headhunters, Wolfsbane and Ted Nugent; along with country icons Alabama, Travis Tritt, Blake Shelton, and Wynonna Judd. Hillbilly Vegas has played before huge crowds at NASCA Revents, as well as many major bike rallies, including the legendary annual Sturgis Motorcycle rally.They have a strong UK following, and have played the Maid of Stone and Steelhouse festivals.Now, Hillbilly Vegas are set to raise the stakes even higher with the release of their new album A La Mode, slated for release this Friday, May 8. With everything you love about Hillbilly Vegas and fresh characteristics that expand their sound even further, A La Mode epitomises the rock and roll spirit unlike anything you have heard in recent memory.HEAVY sat down with vocalist and original member Steve Harris to find out more, starting by asking how he is feeling about the release."We feel good about it," he enthused. "We like what we've done. The name A La Mode is a silly name, but it's a fun name. We hope that everybody enjoys it as much as we enjoyed doing it."We ask Steve to dive deeper into the musical side of the album."Well, I wish I could say there's a bunch of deep meaning in it," he smiled, "but we just write songs and when I hear the music that the guys start writing, I just... Sometimes it tells a story, sometimes it paints a picture, and then I start writing from there. I do a lot of observational stuff, and people I know are just things I've seen, and there's a lot of things on there. There's a good story in every song, even the silly ones, and we hope everybody finds their story in our story."In the full interview we covered Hillbilly Vegas' new album A La Mode, its musical character, notable collaborations, and upcoming touring plans. Steve introduced the band lineup and described the record as a mix of ballads, heavy rockers, country, and boogie-woogie, explaining the title reflects the idea that “everything's better with ice cream” rather than any title track. He also highlighted the single Mr. Midnight, noting Paul Rodgers contributed vocals, appears in the song and video, and was praised as a defining rock voice and a generous collaborator.The conversation then reviewed the band's origins and early Nashville experience, with Steve saying the Nashville songwriting-factory environment conflicted with their broader rock-and-roll approach. He recounted how their first radio play led to a Nashville record deal. Steve also announced a U.S. summer tour planned for June–August, the band's first U.S. tour in three years, and noted several of their top streaming cities are in Australia and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

The Jay Franze Show: Your backstage pass to the entertainment industry
A trunk ride with Billy Gibbons, a pair of “blessed” boots, and the moment a lyric became a band name—this one has stories. We sit down with American Mile's Eugene Rice for a fast, funny, and unfiltered tour through the making of a modern Southern rock band built on grit, harmony, and a never-quit work ethic. From a Vermont town of 1,500 to SoCal stages, Eugene traces the path: sleeping in rehearsal spaces, selling a bike to buy an RV, and logging 200+ dates a year—often in four-hour marathons that would break most bands. He breaks down how “American Mile” emerged mid-take with producer Keith Nelson (Buckcherry), why a bison ended up on the merch table, and how thrift-store scarves became a signature stage move that also solved the hated-iPad problem.We get into sound and influence—Allman Brothers and Skynyrd bones with modern threads from The Black Crowes and Blackberry Smoke. Eugene spotlights the B3 and harmony vocals as secret sauce, plus the rotating “fifth member” who steps in for showcases. Then it gets practical: the economics of LA gigs, the reality of casino anchors, and why a vintage guitar day job keeps the dream alive and the tone honest. He opens the hood on the business too—band democracy, equal pay, and a vesting path to ownership that rewards the grind—while telling road-war stories about blown control arms, stolen catalytic converters, and welding fixes that saved shows.Underneath the laughs and lore sits a clear message: the American dream is still there if you work for it. Mentors matter. Systems matter. Saying yes matters. If you're building a band, a creative career, or any longshot, you'll leave with playbook-level tactics and renewed fight.

Welcome to Ep. 300! Join us as we celebrate a milestone event by literally getting the band back together! We are joined by our former bandmates, Brandon Still & Kent Aberle, who are currently members of the southern rock juggernaut: BLACKBERRY SMOKE. In the early aughts, the 4 of us shared the stage in the power pop tour de force known as BIG JACK PNEUMATIC. Thank you to all who have contributed to or listened to the show. Let's celebrate! Cheers!!!What have we done for the last 299 episodes here at InObscuria? Every show, Kevin has opened the crypt to exhume and dissect aural artifacts from his personal collection, an artist, album, or collection of tunes from the broad spectrum of rock, punk, and metal. Robert has tested his endurance of the macabre and provided valuable, if not obtuse and titillating, feedback for your listening pleasure! Our hope is that we've turned you on to something that was lost on your ears, or something you had simply forgotten about, or that (in our opinion) should have been the next big thing. Looking forward to another 300!!!Songs this week include:Big Jack Pneumatic – “In Cars I Ran” from Live @ Star Bar 1.29.2003 (2003)Tom Troccoli's Dog – “Todo Para Mi” from Tom Troccoli's Dog (1985)…And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead – “Will You Smile Again For Me” from Worlds Apart (2005)Big Jack Pneumatic – “Goodbye” from Half-Ass Cool EP (2003)Please subscribe everywhere that you listen to podcasts!Visit us: https://inobscuria.com/https://www.facebook.com/InObscuriahttps://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/https://x.com/inobscuriahttps://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/Buy cool stuff with our logo on it: InObscuria StoreIf you'd like to check out Kevin's band THE SWEAR, take a listen on all streaming services or pick up a digital copy of their latest release here: https://theswear.bandcamp.com/If you want to hear Robert and Kevin's band from the late 90s – early 00s BIG JACK PNEUMATIC, check it out here: https://bigjackpnuematic.bandcamp.com/Check out Robert's amazing fire sculptures and metal workings here: http://flamewerx.com/
The sisters sat down with Abby Hamilton at AmericanaFest to talk about her previous album, "The #1 Zookeeper (of the San Diego Zoo)," her AmericanaFest experience, and what's coming next! If you've spent any time exploring Kentucky's booming music scene, chances are you've heard somebody say, “You've really got to hear Abby Hamilton.” Her latest single, “Midnight Call” was released in August 2025 and follows an acclaimed debut album, #1 Zookeeper (of the San Diego Zoo), released in 2023 via Blue Gown Records—a new imprint run by WhizzBangBAM's Ian Thornton (Tyler Childers) in partnership with Virgin Music. The album was produced by Justin Craig and Duane Lundy and further establishes Hamilton as one of music's most intriguing new voices. Of the record, American Songwriter praises, “infectious…introducing the acclaimed songsmith's captivating blend of folk and indie rock,” while Holler declares, “one of the most refreshingly out of step voices in country music has made one of the year's most genuinely brilliant and beautiful records” and Wide Open Country proclaims, “channels a universal relatability that will aid anyone's journey of self-discovery and healing”. With influences ranging from the classic country divas to Bruce Springsteen, she wins over audiences with her clever lyrics and entrancing vocals. The born-and-raised in Nicholasville, KY singer-songwriter has garnered a reputation as a can't-miss live performer, opening for acts like Tyler Childers, Wynonna Judd, Deer Tick, Shakey Graves, Kelsey Waldon, Futurebirds, Blackberry Smoke, The Mountain Goats and Justin Wells. She has also performed at several major festivals includingg Bonnaroo, Americanafest, Railbird and Luck Reunion and made her television debut performing on CBS Mornings' “Saturday Sessions.” Be sure to check out Abby here: IG: Abbyehamilton FB: Abby Hamilton TikTok: Abbyehamilton
Blackberry Smoke plays LIVE, Jim Florentine and Vic Henley 3/27The final year of my radio journey holds a special place in my heart, made even more poignant by the loss of my cherished friends, Carl Ruiz and Vic Henley. Reflecting on that time, I rediscovered the pure passion and exhilaration that drew me to radio in the first place. Amidst the chaos and challenges, we found endless moments of hilarity and camaraderie. Alongside Carl, Vic, and Sherrod Small, we shared unforgettable experiences both on and off the airwaves, our tight-knit bond shining through every episode. That year also marked Carl Ruiz's meteoric rise to stardom, inspiring me to launch the Opie Radio podcast with him. I'm immensely grateful to Erock, Clubsoda Kenny, Paul, and Louis for joining us on this wild ride. Get ready to dive into the rollercoaster of emotions—the highs, the lows, and the laugh-out-loud moments—that defined my last year in radio.
