It's another big week on the Talkin' Rock with Meltdown podcast. John 5 is up first. We discuss his latest signature guitar, being part of Motley Crue's legacy, and a paranormal experience he had. That's for starters with 5. Steel Panther's Michael Starr is next, as they kick off their tour this week. He tells me about Corey Taylor playing on past Panther songs, burying the hatchet (or not) with rockers who aren't SP fans, and more. The dude is always hysterical! This week, we wrap up the episode with Ray West of Spread Eagle. They're playing the Token Lounge on August 25th. Ray talks about the new music the band is working on, his short stint in Lynch Mob, touring Europe, and lots more. Thanks for listening!
1990 was a year on the cusp of change. The world was watching as the Berlin Wall fell, signaling the end of an era. In pop culture, we were transitioning from the neon glow of the '80s into the more grounded and grunge-tinged '90s. But in the heart of New York City, a different kind of sound was brewing—a sound that captured the raw, untamed energy of the streets.Spread Eagle's self-titled debut album dropped in 1990, right before the tidal wave of grunge would alter the rock landscape forever. But before Seattle's gloom took over, bands like Spread Eagle were embodying the gritty, dangerous spirit of the urban jungle. If Los Angeles had its glitzy, Sunset Strip glam metal, New York had something dirtier, darker, and undeniably more real.Drop a couple bucks in the DMO tip jar ✌️Formed in the late ‘80s by members who had cut their teeth in the rough-and-tumble world of Boston's rock scene, Spread Eagle brought a level of authenticity to their music that set them apart from their more polished contemporaries. With Paul DiBartolo's blistering guitar riffs, Rob DeLuca's throbbing bass lines, and Ray West's raw, powerful vocals, the band crafted an album that was as much about attitude as it was about musicianship.Songs like “Switchblade Serenade” and “Scratch Like a Cat” are prime examples of the album's relentless energy. These tracks, dripping with the sweat of countless nights in dingy clubs, capture the essence of what it meant to be a rock band in New York City at the dawn of the ‘90s. This wasn't just music; it was a lifestyle—a survival mechanism for the band members who were living on the edge, both figuratively and literally.The album's lyrics paint a picture of a world where danger lurks around every corner. From the seedy underbelly of city life to tales of love and betrayal, Spread Eagle's debut is an unfiltered look at the world they inhabited. It's no surprise that this album resonated with fans who were looking for something more than the superficiality that had begun to creep into the rock scene by the late '80s.Yet, despite their raw talent and the album's undeniable quality, Spread Eagle didn't quite reach the heights of some of their peers. Perhaps it was the timing—just as they were finding their stride, the musical tide was turning towards the flannel-clad introspection of grunge. But for those who were there, and for those who have discovered this gem in the years since, the album remains a powerful testament to a band that could have been huge in a slightly different era.In many ways, Spread Eagle's debut is a snapshot of a fleeting moment in rock history. It's the sound of a band on the brink, both creatively and commercially, giving everything they had to make their mark. And while they may not have achieved the widespread recognition they deserved, the album remains a beloved artifact for those who appreciate the raw, unpolished power of NYC street metal.For anyone looking to dive back into the raw energy of late 80s Metal, or for new listeners curious about what else the era had to offer beyond the big names, Spread Eagle is a must-listen. It's not just an album; it's a slice of history, capturing a band and a scene that was every bit as vital as anything else happening in rock at the time.So, crank up the volume, let the gritty riffs wash over you, and take a trip back to a time when rock and roll was still dangerous.Songs in this Episode* Intro - Switchblade Serenade* 07:52 - Summertime (Bang)* 35:15 - 42nd Street* 37:16 - Broken City* 38:00 - Switchblade Serenade* 39:27 - Thru These Eyes* 44:25 - Hot Sex* 57:28 - Thru These Eyes* 57:38 - Sweet Child O' Mine (Guns N' Roses)* 59:17 - Dead of Winter* Outro - Spread EagleMake Your Metal Voice Heard!In our quest to explore the depths of 80s metal, we rely on you, our listeners.

“jeen-yuhs” codirectors Coodie and Chike were smart to break up their documentary on Kanye West into three parts, especially where they did: “Act I: Vision” covers the earliest days of a future legend, “Act II: Purpose” zeroes in on the pivotal moment that he became a megastar, and “Act III: Awakening” explores the repercussions of that explosive success.The only problem is that, as the insiders who made the first two acts, Coodie and Chike got kicked outside for the third — a perhaps natural progression for the inner circle of an artist who, as an underdog, wanted every moment of his life documented but now, as a superstar, almost certainly does not. Particularly, that is, in the current climate, when the rest of the media hangs on his every public act or social-media missive (and justifiably or no, is not kind about them).As a result, “Awakening” feels more forlorn and distant than its predecessors, unsure of how to resolve a life and career story that obviously is not yet finished, wherein its documentarians no longer have the same access as they once did.“Awakening” opens with an act of hubris from Kanye West that seems prophetic (given his subsequent behavior) but which one imagines might have been charming at the moment he was hovering on the cusp of success: West gets into a real argument with frequent collaborator and fellow rapper Rhymefest for emphatically saying that Kanye is not a genius — yet. “Genius is developed through experience and hardship,” Rhymefest observes, “and I thought you were a genius before I saw Jay-Z make up a rap in five minutes.” Of course, Jay-Z had more than a decade of experience on West even before he released his debut album, but you still get the sense that West's beloved mother Donda may have at least slightly over-nurtured her son's confidence.Sadly, she died in 2007, taking with her the counterbalance and groundedness that kept him tethered to reality, although more than one montage showcases exactly how quickly West succumbed to delusions of grandeur — rationalizing his claims of being a genius, claiming to be to hip-hop what Michael Jackson was in the 1980s — years before she passed.Donda's death is widely acknowledged by critics in the media as West's “Rosebud,” and if you've paid attention to his behavior between then and now, it's easy to suggest her absence set him on a different path. Unfortunately, Coodie and Chike don't offer much more complexity to this widely-held theory, despite the mountains of footage that they recorded of the two of them during the formative years of his career.To be fair, it is undeniably touching to watch West and his mother sing “Hey Mama” together in his kitchen or to see how she props him up as his biggest and most tireless supporter. It's certainly possible that every bad decision he's made in 15 years originates from that understandably unmooring event in his life, but from a storytelling perspective, it behooves these would-be insiders to draw that conclusion with a bit more nuance than the average know-it-all critic.By Coodie's own admission, he and Chike began to lose touch with him even before Donda passed away; what becomes subtly fascinating to watch is the distance that grows between the camera and its subject as Kanye's star continues to rise, an official “team” assembles around him, and the documentarians' status downgrades to a part of his entourage.While years tick by without him being a part of Kanye's life, Coodie chronicles the birth and raising of his own daughter as a well-intentioned but unsuccessful effort to create the parallel narrative of his own life and career, while the footage of Kanye grows more packaged and distant. The filmmaker's sympathetic arms-length commentary on Kanye's exploits, from interrupting Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2009 to his failed 2020 presidential bid, offer few insights that others haven't made before.Unexpectedly, Coodie gets an opportunity to follow Kanye at the tail end of his series of Sunday Service performances and his promotional tour for the accompanying album “Jesus Is King,” and later he decides to start assembling 20 years' worth of footage into a film as COVID-19 shuts down the country. Flying to the Dominican Republic in July 2020, Coodie not only captures footage of Kanye recording (and of the constantly shifting influences of religion, art, culture, and even pottery that drive his creativity,)but also of some uncomfortable conversations with real-estate partners that grow so unhinged that he actually stops filming.It's clear that this is a different Kanye West than the one he once knew, and Coodie seems to capitulate to the idea that his former friend has grown so successful and powerful and out of control that there's no way to turn that trajectory around, much less to intervene and comfort Kanye.As the documentary concludes, what audiences are left with is a series of images of Kanye West, a hip-hop prodigy turned superstar turned tabloid magnet, imploding as his bi-polar disorder scuttles his presidential campaign — and seemingly everything else in his life — while incessant, grandiose aspirations push him into increasingly unhealthy obsessions, most of all about himself. His interactions with the world have formed a feedback loop that seems to simultaneously reinforce his larger-than-life visions and ruin the prospect of him achieving any sort of ordinary living, much less happiness.Coodie is right to be sad about it, and so should viewers, but what “jeen-yuhs” underscores is that with Kanye West, the knob is broken off and the volume is turned up too high, so even if you want to be compassionate and forgiving, even the things that you might like are too obnoxious to want to experience. Of course, it seems like a sensation that is more common to high-profile celebrities than ordinary people would ever have the opportunity to know, but if Coodie and Chike's documentary doesn't tell us quite enough about Kanye West that we don't already know, it manages to capture that phenomenon and to localize it in someone. At least we now have a fuller portrait when we decide to judge him.★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
Part II opens with a heartfelt home video dated May 17, 1990, capturing Ye and his family enjoying time together. As the camera pans the room, it eventually shows a young Ye (a few weeks shy of his 13th birthday) sporting a white top with black polka dots eager to drop some fire bars.“What's up in effect and it's time to select,” the superstar-to-be begins. “The mind of Kanye is the place to be/ Can't you see it's me/ And I'm freshly/ Moving and grooving and proving to you/ I can be moving/ And yo/ I'm pursuing the rap art fo' sure.”He finishes off affirming, “I'm sway in top place/ I'm not going back/ When I wear the polka dots 'cause that's what I got/ I'm def and I'm fresh and I am the best/ Nothing less can come from West.”The documentary also shows footage from inside Roc-A-Fella's “Paid in Full” press conference, which took place in New York two decades ago, in October 2002. When Coodie asked Dame Dash about the label's plans for then “new artist Kanye West,” the co-founder of Roc-A-Fella said, “Kanye is definitely a ‘Roc-A-Fella.' He's an entrepreneur [and] he's promoting himself as we speak.”At the time, Dash and other attendees didn't know Ye would eventually become a billionaire. “Every time I see him… he has a f—ing camera with him and he does really good music,” Dash said.When given a chance to speak for himself, Ye said, “I definitely think I'm bringing an entire new market to Roc-A-Fella … Because I went through the struggle of being broke, I'm like everybody sitting out here.”At the time, the label still recognized Ye primarily as a producer, but his goal was to become a distinguished rapper. So he set his sights on appearing on Jay-Z's upcoming sequel to The Blueprint.As West continued trying to find his footing as a standout rapper within his new Roc-A-Fella label, he decided that landing a feature on Jay-Z's seventh studio album The Blueprint 2: The Gift and the Curse would be the next big thing to advance his career trajectory.“[This is] just a long-a– way from f—ing rapping in my mama's crib,” a visibly proud Ye said after finishing his verse, which appears on their collaborative song “The Bounce.”“Closed mouths don't get fed, you understand? He wouldn't have been on that,” Jay-Z said in a clip. And when HOV was later asked how he feels about West, the Roc-A-Fella co-founder said, “Ye West! Hot! Fire! Put my money on him.”As many longtime fans know, Ye broke his jaw in three places following a near-deadly car crash while leaving an October 2002 studio session. At the time, many thought his career would be over.But in true West fashion, despite the setback, he decided to push through with his song “Through the Wire.” Cameras followed West as he went to a dentist appointment following the incident.“In my opinion, you should have physical therapy to get your jaw mobilized,” his dentist recommended. “If you don't mobilize it, it's gonna get stuck.” Still, West was eager to appear in an upcoming music video.After its November 2003 debut, “Through the Wire” became a top 20 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.Jamie Foxx appears in the documentary while recording their collaborative groove “Slow Jamz.” The song, which also includes Twista, topped the Hot 100. After recording the hit inside Foxx's at-home studio, West continued borrowing studio time from other artists because Roc-A-Fella had tabled the production of his album College Dropout due to the accident. While recording their song “Breathe In Breathe Out” together, Ludacris had some encouraging words to say about West.“Kanye West, one of the top-notch producers and top-notch rappers in the game,” Ludacris began. “I ain't gonna lie to you, he surprised the sh– out of me. Believe that man, everybody already knows about his production. They're about to find out he got skills. Believe me, the n—a got skills.”During another recording session, Pharrell appears visibly surprised to see Ye's freestyle lyricism. “I didn't know!” Pharrell repeatedly said. “I just thought it was [producing] the music. I didn't know. This guy is like … I'm so impressed.”The proud rapper then played “Through the Wire” to gauge Pharrell's thoughts on the track. “That sh– is phenomenal. You're one of my favorite artists,” Pharrell said. “I only heard like two records. You're gonna make it.” He then urged Ye to “keep the same hunger” even after he makes it in the industry.Along the way, West also gained support from Chicago-native comedian DeRay Davis, who soon became the voice of Ye's College Dropout album skits.Still, Roc-A-Fella kept the album on the far back burner after Ye's accident, so he continued producing beats to stay afloat.About four years ahead of of her 2007 death, Ye's mom Donda West declared “Hey Mama” as her most adored song by her son. “That's my favorite song,” the doting mom said. As they walked outside together, Donda said, “Kanye, that was so magnificent what you did. You snapped. I'm telling you, you did. Did you hear me, I was like, ‘Kanye! Alright, give it up.'”She went on, “You said some heavy political stuff in between … I was like, ‘Oh snap!'” All this went on as Ye continued treating his severely injured jaw five months after the car accident. West eventually decided to postpone his reconstructive surgery to continue recording College Dropout. Later in the episode, Donda declares that 2004 will be their best year yet during a New Year's Eve party at her son's first Los Angeles home. “It's just gonna get better,” she said. ” … We're gonna make it, we're gonna do it .. for everybody on the team.”After planning the release party for the “Through the Wire” music video just one day in advance, Kanye opened up about some of the struggles he was experiencing with his label.“I don't know if you know this, but my album keeps getting pushed back,” he told the audience of supporters. “And I don't know if you know this, but my marketing budget is not open. I don't know if you know this, but they actually haven't paid for me to have the black-and-white shot that people get when they originally get signed. I got signed a year ago.”He went on, “The reason I make tracks at this point is to have enough money to pay for my T-shirts, to have enough money to pay for my mixtapes.”When Dash joined the party, Ye continued, “This video cost me $33,000 that I paid for out of my pocket. We put this together to get the buzz going so I can get me a release date.” He then gave a special shout-out to Clarence “Coodie” Simmons for shooting the footage.Finally as Ye started to gain major traction on radio, TV appearances and more, Dash admitted, “I'm not gonna lie, I never really paid him too much attention. I was like, ‘Stick to the beats, kid.'”He went on, “The thing I liked about him the most is he never tried to be like anybody. He was very intent on being original and doing things his way. On another level, he's always controlled his own destiny.”“The impact of The College Dropout forever changed the culture, but it felt like the bigger Kanye got, the further we grew apart,” Coodie said. Then Ye went on tour without him.As their friendship with Ye appeared to be dwindling, Coodie and Chike began directing music videos for other artists. In 2004, they went on to document John Legend's making of “Ordinary People.”But then West circled back to Coodie & Chike to shoot his “Jesus Walks” music video in Chicago after some failed attempts with other directors he originally felt were a better fit for the gig. Clearly, the friendship was rekindled as Coodie & Chike are the directors of Jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy. After The College Dropout finally dropped, Ye earned 10 Grammy nominations for his debut studio album.★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

More info at https://rockn.me/raywest | https://PariahRocks.com/Interviews Spread Eagle is the sound of New York Street Metal. Their 1990 debut album is one of the best Glam Metal debuts of all time, right up with Guns N' Roses, Motley Crue, and Skid Row. Their 2019 comeback record is equally celebrated. Pariah had a great conversation with original and still Spread Eagle frontman Ray West about the band, their music, and so much more. Topics: - Ray West's career before Spread Eagle - The founding of Spread Eagle - A&R reps coming to them - The debut album - Quitting Spread Eagle - Drugs and getting sober - Becoming Ray Fucking West - On track to Subway to the Stars - Subway to the Stars and COVID - The 80s transitioning into the 90s - New York Street Metal - A rat in the Spread Eagle soundboard - Stepping in poo... and it squeals - Boston and New York - Sports - Rock N' Roll has changed - What really happens backstage now - Ray's sobriety - His solo album - Teaching at School of Rock - Ray's advice to the next generation of rockers - The business of being in a band - Split sheets - The one thing every band needs for it to work - "The business doesn't want assholes any more." - The business/fun relationship - Ray's unexpected reaction to the day they signed their first record deal - The Music Cemetery of America - Guns N' Roses blazing a trail - The silliness of the 80s - Getting real - Spread Eagle was caught between the grey area and the grey area - The band girls could bring home to their mothers - "I got to go to the party for a little while." - Backing tracks - The Book of Rock 101 - Auto-tune - Keeping their edge - Spread Eagle's first road gig - New York, NY to Portland, OR One night in 1990, at the pinnacle of 80s Hard Rock and Glam, the safety of the suburbs was shattered with the switchblade screech of Paul DiBartolo's guitar and Ray West's back alley wailing that sounded like gunshots and screams on a Brooklyn summer night. Spread Eagle had broken out of New York and brought the raw, grimy feel of America's largest, most dangerous city with them. Their record company didn't know what to do with them, but their debut album consistently ranks up with Appetite for Destruction, Skid Row, and Too Fast For Love as among the greatest Glam and 80s Metal debut records with tracks like "Switchblade Serenade," "Scratch Like a Cat," "Hot Sex," "Through These Eyes" and "Suzy Suicide." Their sophomore album, Open to the Public, was released at the nadir of 80s Metal and the apex of Grunge, prompting the band to call it quits. 26 years later, in 2019, they released their third album, Subway to the Stars, proving that you can take the Metal boys out of New York, but not the New York Metal out of the boys. The minute my conversation with Spread Eagle lead vocalist Ray West started, we both felt like we'd been friends for years already. We talked about the history of Spread Eagle, Subway to the Stars, the new album the guys are working on, how their record label didn't know what to do with them, Ray's sobriety, and some truly sage advice for the current generation of Rock musicians.

These throwback Episodes initially aired public but were removed as a result of the change in plans of the audio service we were using before. Now we are happy to share these insightful interviews which began the AUDIO journey of Artist Interviews with Out Da Box Radio. Original Show Description: Out Da Box Radio is happy to bring you an enlightening interview with Veteran Producer and Emcee, Ray West and OC (of D.I.T.C.). Last month, the two artists released their debut collabo project, entitled “Ray’s Café”, a project themed around the atmosphere of a vibed out Jazz Club. We got the chance to speak to them on a number of insightful topics. The 1st, being their individual history and how their intent to do music as a career all began. They also spoke on the album’s theme and the importance of preserving Jazz and Blues music for today and future generations. In addition they talked about what naturally evolving Hip Hop should sound like in 2014 and referenced artists like Roc Marciano and Ka as artists who exemplify the New York sound in its most authentic form today. On the beat making side, Ray took a moment to speak on the subject of Analog Vs Digital production as well as his thoughts on artists who use a software approach. He states “I try not to hate on anybody’s process, as long as they’re creating music that they feel good about and they can make it sound dope, then I’m a 100 percent with it”. As the interview progressed, OC gave some insight into his earlier career in reference to his debut LP “Word Life”, and the story behind his successful “Time’s Up” Record. He further touched on the success of being a part of the D.I.T.C. crew and offered up some advice for hip-hop crews of this generation (i.e. Pro Era) to continue to flourish. In conclusion, Ray and OC spoke on their relationship with fellow D.I.T.C. emcee and friend “AG”. They also offered some insight into the reflective subject of “Rules They Would Break And Rules They Would Keep” if they had the chance to start their career all over again. This was truly an insightful interview that taught me a lot about these artists, their perspectives and their profound contributions to Hip Hop music. I feel that true fans of 90’s Golden Era Hip Hop will deeply appreciate this interview. It was a great pleasure to build with Ray and OC and I wish them much success in their future endeavors. Feel free to support their latest project entitled “Ray’s Café” out now via Red Apples 45, available on vinyl as well as itunes. In the meantime, certainly take some time to listen to our in-depth interview with the two artists. We truly hope you are inspired!
There are lyricists, and then there's OC. In a class by himself, the veteran emcee stops by Library Rap with Tim Einenkel to speak on everything from his debut album, to the role of the producer, to how he comes up with concepts and writes his rhymes. He also speaks on working with fellow artists such as AG, Buckwild, Ray West, Apollo Brown, Apathy and much more. It's in-depth and informative, much like the top tier rhymes of the great OC, and it absolutely should not be missed. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents the ZILLA ROCCA and CHONG WIZARD interview session! This Phildelphia MC and Vancouver DJ/producer have been on their own individual tears the past few years. Zilla with his work with RAY WEST and ALASKA, as well as putting in work with THE WRECKING CREW, which counts CURLY CASTRO, PREMROCK and SMALL PROFESSOR as members. Chong just wrapped up his 6-part INFINITY STONE series and is at the helm of his own record label, with recent physical releases from CHRIS CRACK, LORD JUCO, NAPOLEON DA LEGEND, RANSOM and NICHOLAS CRAVEN. This fall, Zilla and Chong come together for MIDNIGHT SONS, a conceptual album loosely inspired by the comic supergroup of the same name. We talk about the genesis of the project, how features from NATURE, BILLY WOODS, LORD JUCO, CURLY CASTRO, ALASKA, DENMARK VESSEY and PREMROCK came to be and why J-ZONE unknowingly ended up shaping the entire sound of the album. The duo also break down the significance of having MALIK B (RIP) on the record, who unfortunately passed this summer very soon after recording his verse, and how RALPHIIE REESE came through in the clutch to get the verse recorded.

The foundational pillars for The Brantley Method are Inspiration, Motivation and Education; the mission is to utilize stories as a vehicle to provide those pillars to the world in unique ways. Chania Ray has experienced the biggest fear of most Student Athletes; the day the air goes out of the ball. She has gracefully transitioned from running the team as a Point Guard to running her own business. She's taken the skillset that made her one of the best players in the Big 12 and utilized it to make her a successful business woman. She has utilized her drive, determination & dedication to build a sustainable brand. She is an example of what can happen if you dare to dream big and put in the work to achieve those dreams. She is a leader on and off the court who understood how to make a decade of practice, training and competition translate to "win's" in the sport of entrepreneurship. We discussed her journey and what has made her successful on and off the court. Chania spoke to me about her love and passion for her family and the things she would change about women's basketball to give more opportunities for those who travel the same path she did. The future is extremely bright for Ms. Ray and with everything going on in the world today, her story and message are very much needed. I'm thankful to have the opportunity to share Chania's story and others like it. #FreeGame #GoFURTHER
Rob has a lot to say on today's Talkin' Rock podcast.

Plus, playing with Joan Jett, Helmet, following in Pete Way's bass playing footsteps and questions from Spread Eagle front man, Ray West, "JD" from Black Label Society and Johny Chow from Stone Sour and lots more..

Join Sherry for Just Push Play - A Music Podcast: Interview with Ray West and Rob DeLuca from Spread Eagle Spread Eagle burst upon the hard rock scene of the late ‘80s/early ‘90s playing a brand of rock that hailed straight from the mean streets of New York City. When Paul DiBartolo (guitar), Rob De Luca (bass), and Tommi Gallo (drums) moved to New York City and met up with Ray West (vocals), East Coast Streetmetal was born. The group was quickly snatched up and signed to MCA/Universal Records, then sent straight into the legendary Record Plant studios to record their debut album. The self-titled debut was produced by Charlie Gambetta and featured a gritty and dangerous sound, wailing vocals and razor sharp guitar, demonstrated through songs such as "Switchblade Serenade", "Scratch Like A Cat", and "Broken City". After the release and touring of their second album, "Open To The Public", the band took an exteneded break and went about their own personal projects. Spread Eagle reformed in 2006 under the direction of Ray West and Rob DeLuca (who has also worked with UFO and Sebastian Bach). Since 2012, the current line-up of West and DeLuca was solidified with Ziv Shalev (guitar) and Rik De Luca (drums). The band has been together ever since and finally decided to start production on a new album, that was released on August 9, 2019 on Frontiers SRL called Subway To The Stars. Recording took place at Studio E in Brooklyn, NY with Grammy Award winning engineer Tom Camuso. The new album does not disappoint and picks off up where the band left off. They are yet another vital band from the '80s/'90s rock scene to release amazing new music in the 21st century!

On this special Prime Cuts episode of the Nobodies Are Somebodies Podcast, I had the opportunity to speak to two members of one of my very favorite bands that I thought I would never see, or hear new music from again, Spread Eagle. Based in New York City and forming in 1989, they released two albums on MCA Records; in 1995, the band broke up, but reformed in 2006. Now in 2019, they have a stable band lineup and a smoking new album just released on Frontiers Records, titled "Subway to the Stars". I was first introduced to the music of Spread Eagle via a good friend who loved music from bands of the 80s and 90s that I had yet to discover. This was back in 2000. And all I had to do was start a podcast and wait for 2019 to interview Ray West and Rob De Luca, vocalist and bassist of Spread Eagle, and hell yea...it was worth the wait. I hope you enjoy this very special episode as much as I do, and spread the word about the pure New York City street metal of Spread Eagle! Thank you for the music and the memories guys! Spread Eagle: http://spreadeagle.us Frontiers Records SRL: http://www.frontiers.it/ Spread Eagle NYC on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/spreadeaglenyc/ My Spread Eagle Fan Group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/38803786021/ Music featured on this episode is from Spread Eagle's new album 'Subway to the Stars': Sound of Speed, 29th of February and Grand Scam.

(07/06/19) - On location with singer Ray West and guitarist Freddy Ordine, talking band history, Scott Stapp tour and the future of Weapons Of Anew
On today's episode, I reconnect with a couple old friends. One in-person, and one over the phone. I interviewed Spread Eagle way back in 1991 or so, and as life would have it, I went a couple decades without seeing any of the guys. I reconnected with Rob De Luca at a Sebastian Bach show a couple years ago. I've talked to and texted with Ray for the past decade, but haven't seen him in-person in over 25 years. With their new record coming out on August 9th called Subway to The Stars, and other projects they're working on, I thought it would be a great time to get them on the pod. Ray is up first, after a wing fill-up at the Sweetwater tavern in downtown Detroit. Ray tells me all about his band Weapons Of Anew, as they tour opening up for Scott Stapp. We talk about getting Spread back together, the new album, new members in the band, rehab and getting clean, the 90's and a possible third album, breaking up the band and tons more....all while sitting on the stage of the famous Shelter which was depicted in the movie 8 Mile. Rob had just gotten of tour with UFO and had just gotten back to the states so we connected by phone. We discuss former members Tommi Gallo and Paul DiBartolo and what they're up to, the new record, writing process, working with his cousin, Rik De Luca, on drums and guitarist Ziv Shalev. He tells me what it's like to work with a guy like Sebastian for the past 14 years...and that's just for starters. Enjoy and THANK YOU for listening! -Meltdown-
