Our next guest is an absolute titan of modern guitar. She is a Berklee College of Music graduate who went from tearing up the solo underground to sharing stages with icons like Steve Vai and Guthrie Govan. Whether she is shredding animated metal riffs on tour with Dethklok, holding down the stage with Danny Elfman, or shooting 10-foot flames out of her guitar in Las Vegas for Cirque du Soleil's Michael Jackson ONE, her precision and melodic voice on the instrument are unmatched. She is fresh off the release of her incredible, synesthesia-inspired fourth studio album, Eventide, and she finally has her brand-new, ultra-purple signature Ibanez guitar, 'The Answer,' in her hands. Today on Verbal Shenanigans... the phenomenal NILI BROSH!"   We also talk about a tree hitting Scott's house, tell some tales of gross comics and play a game called "Axe or Ailment."  Have a listen!

Why did one of progressive metal's most legendary mad scientists walk away from traditional collaboration to protect his own creative sanity? On this week's episode of The Loaded Radio Podcast, host Scott Penfold sits down with the incomparable Devin Townsend following the highly anticipated release of his massive, 24-track rock opera project, The Moth. In an incredibly open and elaborate conversation, Devin delves into the intense physical pain and personal life transformations that completely derailed and reshaped the direction of this decade-in-the-making symphonic masterpiece. Devin also takes a raw look back at his '90s catalog, reflecting on how he feels today about fronting Strapping Young Lad and stepping onto the global stage alongside Steve Vai for the infamous Sex & Religion album. While he reveals that his current relationship with Vai is excellent, Devin drops a bombshell truth about his creative process, admitting that he actually "does his friends favors by not working with them" because of how difficult he can be in the studio unless he maintains total control. Voices From The Underground Segment: In the second half of the show, we shift our focus to the grassroots independent scene. Scott catches up with Niko and Thursday from the rising Spring Hill, Florida-based original metal band Silver Bullet Smile . We discuss their breakout success on the unsigned charts, their studio workflow crafting thunderous tracks like "Man In The Moon", and the absolute grit required to break through the modern underground metal circuit. In This Episode: Devin Townsend Interview: Shifting The Moth through personal turmoil, the reality of studio control, and the legacy of Strapping Young Lad and Steve Vai.

Devin Townsend goes all out on new double-single ‘Prepare For War / The Big Snit' Taken from ambitious, orchestral-metal opus The MothThe Moth is about the journey—but it is also about arrival”Canadian metal maverick Devin Townsend recently announced the long-awaited release of his ambitious, orchestral-metal opus ‘The Moth', out 29th May 2026 via InsideOutMusic.An album over a decade in the making, it existed in the back of Devin Townsend's mind as his “life's work”. Then, about six years ago, after an acoustic show in Amsterdam, Townsend was approached by the head of the North Netherlands' Orchestra and Choir with an offer; and with that moment The Moth stopped being an idea and began to become a reality.Today he is pleased to reveal another part of The Moth narrative in the shape of the visceral and heavy double-single ‘Prepare For War / The Big Snit'.

Paul shares iconic film moments that have inspired countless players to pick up the guitar, along with practical lessons from each scene for your own playing and performance confidence.Episode Highlights

Alessandro Cortini är den italienska hårdrocksgitarristen som drömde om att bli en ny Steve Vai när han började på Musician's Institute i Los Angeles. Där upptäckte han syntar och fick snart jobb som keyboardist i Nine Inch Nails. Som soloartist har han blivit känd för hotfulla och harmoniska ljudlandskap, en sorts dystopisk ambient. Nu hälsar han på hemma hos Strage där han bland annat pratar om antika syntar och den "alkemiska" ljudmaskinen Strega ("häxa" på italienska) som han själv utvecklat, om att turnera med Nine Inch Nails och remixa Depeche Mode, om att medverka i tredje säsongen av "Twin Peaks", om sin kärlek till Kents fyra första album, om att skriva soundtracket till Netflix-serien "Il mostro" (om Italiens mest ökända seriemördare) och om sitt nya uppdrag: att producera Kites första riktiga studioalbum. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome back to When Words Fail, Music Speaks, the podcast that explores the healing power of music with the people who live it every day. In today's episode, host James Cox sits down with a true musical chameleon – Jeff Young, the former Megadeth guitarist whose story stretches far beyond the thrash‑metal spotlight.From the gritty rehearsal rooms of Boston to the buzzing festivals of Canada, Jeff recounts life on the road with Kings of Thrash, the frantic pace of touring, and the unforgettable moments that make every gig feel like a trip back to 1987. He dives deep into his formative years at the Guitar Institute of Technology, where legends such as Frank Gambale, Steve Morris, and Tommy Tedesco shaped his education, and reflects on how formal training both sharpened his technique and challenged his creative instincts.The conversation quickly widens, tracing Jeff's love for funk in Dayton, his immersion in Brazilian rhythms and flamenco, and his reverence for jazz greats like Frank Gambale and Scott Henderson. He shares the story behind his newest record, Revolutions – a labor‑of‑love analog project recorded on two‑inch tape, a statement against the digital overwhelm of today's music world.Listeners will also get insider anecdotes about missed opportunities (a David Lee Roth gig, a Steve Vai invitation), the tragedy and triumph of Jason Becker's legacy, and how Jeff's eclectic palette—rock, jazz, classical, world music—continues to evolve.Stay tuned as we unpack the myth, the music, and the man behind the metal, and discover why Jeff Young's voice is far more than a riff—it's a bridge between genres, cultures, and generations.Grab your headphones, let the vibes lift your frequency, and remember: when words fail, music speaks.

Hour 1 opens with Mother's Day weekend recaps, Marc's concert trip to see legendary guitarists Steve Vai and Joe Satriani, and praise for the Patriot Training Foundation before pivoting into rising tensions with Iran and frustration over climbing gas prices tied to instability around the Strait of Hormuz. Marc argues President Trump was right to reject Iran's latest proposal and predicts stronger military action may ultimately be necessary despite short-term economic pain. The hour then shifts into a fiery cultural and political discussion sparked by Bill Maher criticizing entitlement culture, political rage, and younger Americans embracing victimhood despite modern conveniences. Marc and Kim connect Maher's comments to broader debates over mental health, political extremism, and anti-Trump obsession while also targeting Mark Kelly for comments Marc viewed as undermining military leadership. “Kim on a Whim” dominates the middle of the hour with a deep dive into lingering distrust from the COVID era, criticism of “trust the science” messaging, skepticism toward pharmaceutical companies like Bayer, and frustration over corporate healthcare systems pushing rigid treatment protocols during the pandemic. The hour closes with lighter conversation about fans camping overnight outside Enterprise Center for Bring Me the Horizon tickets, along with complaints about skyrocketing concert prices and changing live music culture.

Hour 1 opens with Mother's Day weekend recaps, including a concert featuring Steve Vai and Joe Satriani, before shifting into escalating tensions with Iran tied to the Strait of Hormuz and concerns over rising gas prices. The discussion frames Trump's Iran strategy as necessary toughness while expanding into a broader cultural critique sparked by Bill Maher's comments on entitlement, victimhood, and political anger in modern America. The hour also revisits COVID-era distrust in institutions, criticism of “trust the science” messaging, and skepticism toward pharmaceutical and healthcare systems, before closing on lighter entertainment culture talk around Bring Me the Horizon concerts and rising ticket prices. Hour 2 continues international focus with U.S.–Iran and China leverage discussions, alongside criticism of Mark Kelly's remarks on military readiness. Domestic issues dominate the middle of the hour with childcare protests framed as politically driven debates over family policy, while St. Louis topics include crime concerns, civic tech responses, and speculation around Steve Savard's media role. The hour ends with financial reporting on AI-driven market gains, retail strategy shifts, and broader economic anxiety signals in consumer behavior. Hour 3 pivots into media fear critiques over a reported hantavirus case, then moves into major legal analysis with Hans von Spakovsky on redistricting battles across multiple states and Voting Rights Act interpretations. Cultural politics take center stage with Dan Buck's “Buck Stops Here” music segment featuring Tom McDonald's “Anti,” sparking debate over censorship and political messaging in entertainment. The hour closes with “Kim on a Whim,” focused on proposed federal action revoking passports for individuals with unpaid child support and the tension between enforcement and personal rights. Hour 4 opens with Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway detailing legal battles over control of the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Board, kratom enforcement actions, and ongoing election integrity efforts tied to voter roll audits. The conversation shifts into the same passport-child support policy debate before moving into sports with Tom Ackerman, who breaks down a tough Cardinals loss to the Padres, Missouri State's major hire of Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte, and a strong weekend for local teams including the Battlehawks. The show closes with political commentary arguing Democrats are positioning to reverse Trump-era policies while downplaying economic developments like the Granite City Steel reopening and broader manufacturing gains.

Ep 53: The iconic guitarist and composer talks SatchVai Band, his earliest inspirations, and his plans for the future Hello, music lovers!  Welcome to Why Music Matters, a podcast where we examine the power and influence that music can wield in our lives.  I'm your host, musician and music journalist Jeff Miers. Today's guest is one of the most critically lauded and commercially successful rock guitarists of his generation. Since the 1987 release of his second album, the evergreen Surfing with the Alien, Joe Satriani has been nominated for 15 Grammy Awards and sold more than 10 million albums.  And he did all of this with a body of work that is almost exclusively instrumental. Taking a page from the book of the late Jeff Beck, Satriani blended a penchant for memorable melodies, intense and ambitious arrangements, and considerable virtuosity, in the process, becoming the best-selling instrumental rock guitarist of all time.  For his latest venture, Satriani has teamed with one of his oldest friends and collaborators - another legend, who also happens to be a former student of Satriani's - the great Steve Vai, to form The SatchVai Band. (For our listeners here in Buffalo, NY, you'll have the opportunity to catch this powerhouse in action at Kleinhans Music Hall on Tuesday, May 12.) During our chat, Joe - who also happens to be one of the nicest guys I've ever encountered in the music business - reflected on his earliest musical inspirations, the importance of jazz in the development of his musical imagination, why the SatchVai Band puts a perma-grin on his face, and his passion for the soon-to-be-released first studio album from that band.  Welcome to Why Music Matters, Joe Satriani… Produced by 678Main Studio and Creative Services https://678main.com --- Follow Why Music Matters on social media https://instagram.com/whymusicmatterspodcast https://www.facebook.com/whymusicmatterspodcast https://twitter.com/wmmpod

Mit zwölf die erste E-Gitarre, mit vierzehn auf der Bühne mit Steve Vai und heute längst selbst eine der sichtbarsten Gitarristinnen im deutschen Pop: Yasi Hofer.Vier Soloalben, über 300 Konzerte mit ihrem Trio und fester Teil der Livebands von Helene Fischer und den No Angels.Im Gespräch mit Senta Delliponti geht es um genau diesen Spagat: Schlager, Pop, Rock – und die Frage, wie man sich darin nicht verliert. Die beiden gehen zurück zum Anfang dieser Ausnahmekarriere: Als Yasi als Teenager ihrem Idol Steve Vai eine Postkarte nach L.A. schreibt, ahnt sie noch nicht, dass genau das ihr Ticket in die Profi-Gitarrenwelt wird. Zeit, mal wieder zu schreiben: Stift und Karte liegen schon bereit, fehlt nur noch das Porto.Bei „Trash oder These?“ geht's um den Nachwuchs: Laut Studien sind mittlerweile rund die Hälfte aller Gitarren-Neulinge Frauen. Klingt nach Wandel – aber wie viel davon ist echte Veränderung und wie viel nur neue Sichtbarkeit? Yasi spricht über Vorbilder, Hürden und darüber, was sie jungen Gitarristinnen heute mitgeben würde.Und dann: 3, 2, 1 Action. Senta und Yasi performen den 90er-Hit „Weil ich ein Mädchen bin“ von Lucilectric.Aber natürlich nicht im Original. Sondern mit neuen Lyrics: Ich spiel Gitarre, weil ich ein Mädchen bin! Was sonst?!Mehr zu Yasi Hofer findet ihr hier:

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with guitarist and composer Bob Lanzetti, best known as one of the founding members of Snarky Puppy. I've admired Bob's playing for a long time, so getting the chance to talk with him felt especially meaningful. We begin with something many musicians quietly carry with them: the fear of hand issues and how that concern evolves over the course of a career. Bob reflects honestly on how he thinks about it now compared to earlier years.From there, we rewind to the beginning—growing up around his dad's guitar, discovering The Beatles, and the simple invitation that changed everything: “Learn this song and you can sit in with my band.” That moment set Bob firmly on the path toward becoming a guitarist. He traces his journey through early mentors, jazz studies, and eventually to the University of North Texas, where he found a musical community that would change his life—and where Snarky Puppy first came together.We spend time talking about the musical ecosystem around North Texas as well, especially the gospel and R&B scenes that shaped Bob's ear in ways the classroom couldn't. Bob shares how Snarky Puppy actually learns and rehearses music—often through oral tradition, demos, and Logic sessions—and how the band's three-guitar setup works without stepping on each other's sonic space. Along the way, he reflects on something younger musicians often overlook: the importance of restraint, listening, and self-balancing within a band.One of my favorite parts of the conversation centers on Bob's Nosferatu project, where he composed and performed an original score for the classic silent film during the COVID years. That project opened the door to exploring 20th-century classical textures, string writing, layered guitars, and production techniques. We wrap up by talking about the wide range of influences that shape Bob's music—from Charlie Christian and Jim Hall to Sonic Youth and Derek Bailey—and what's ahead in 2026, including GroundUP Festival, touring with Snarky Puppy alongside the Metropole Orchestra, his trio work, and the growing role of producing in his creative life.Key TakeawaysMusicians confront physical concerns over time — long careers require resilience and perspective.Early invitations can shape a life path — a simple opportunity to sit in with a band set Bob on the guitar journey.Community matters — the University of North Texas and the surrounding Dallas scene were foundational for Snarky Puppy.Listening and restraint define great band playing — especially in complex ensemble settings like a three-guitar lineup.Musical learning often happens by ear — oral tradition and demos play a huge role in how bands develop material.Creative side projects expand the palette — Bob's Nosferatu score opened the door to new textures and production ideas.Producing can become another creative outlet — shaping the sound of recordings scratches the same itch as performing.Music from the EpisodeB - Bob LanzettiAnonymous - Bob LanzettiThe Seven Deadly Sins (from Nosferatu) - Bob LanzettiJenny is a Donkey - Bob LanzettiAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a podcast hosted by Brad Williams, featuring conversations with musicians, composers, producers, and creative thinkers about their musical journeys.

What does it really take to become a guitar virtuoso? According to Steve Vai, the answer is surprisingly simple—yet incredibly demanding. In this episode, we dive into Vai's powerful insight that elite-level guitar playing isn't a mystery at all. It's an “intellectual exercise” built on relentless discipline, focus, and countless hours of dedicated practice. From the explosive shred era of the 1980s to today's social media landscape filled with jaw-dropping players, virtuosity has long been the dream of aspiring guitarists. Steve Vai's formula proves that greatness is within reach for anyone willing to commit to the journey—though not everyone will enjoy the hard work it requires! Alongside this inspiring discussion, I also demo the VIXXNOXX LED-powered guitar picks, showcasing their vibrant glow and performance while playing my Taylor SF Giants acoustic guitar. These eye-catching picks add a unique visual flair, perfect for live performances and late-night jam sessions. If you're passionate about rock, guitar mastery, and cool new gear, this episode is for you!

This week, we are talking about bands that have rock stars in them: Supergroups and Offshoots. We once again discuss how a band consisting of well-known artists from other bands does not always equal great success. Dive in with us as we discuss and listen to some of the more obscure supergroups and offshoots that didn't break with huge mainstream success or stay around very long. What is it we do here at InObscuria? Every show, Kevin opens the crypt to exhume and dissect from his personal collection: an artist, album, or collection of tunes from the broad spectrum of rock, punk, and metal. This week, we talk exclusively about Supergroups featuring famous solo artists and band members, along with Offshoots, which are bands that contain the bulk of a previous incarnation of a famous band. We hope that we turn you on to something new. Songs this week include: Alcatrazz – “Painted Lover” from Disturbing The Peace (1985) Subrosa – “World's Greatest Lover” from Never Bet The Devil Your Head (1997) Black Swan – “The Fire And The Flame” from Paralyzed (2026) THE LAST ROCKSTARS – “THE LAST ROCKSTARS (Paris Mix)” from THE LAST ROCKSTARS (2022) Circus Diablo - “Mad Parade” from Circus Diablo (2007) DREAMCAR – “We Rats” from Dream EP (2024) Swedish Metal Aid – “Give A Helpin' Hand” from Give A Helpin' Hand - single (1985) Please subscribe everywhere that you listen to podcasts!

You get a front-row seat to how Michael Grande turned hard-won tech chops and late-night studio hacks into real music-business wins. From escaping NAMM chaos and leveraging smart PR and management, to transforming a throwaway “stupid idea” into Card Chords—an Amazon-topping guitar tool born from a Cricut, Guitar Center testing, and sheer persistence—you see how necessity, experimentation, and saying yes the first time landed him in Jimi Hendrix's old bedroom at Electric Lady Studios, shredding in the lineage of Vai and Satriani, and inventing Tone Picks on the fly. Along the way, you're reminded that when you know you're right, you embrace it, protect your IP, and keep swinging big—whether that's launching music schools, eyeing Shark Tank with a bold offer, or pivoting your career from Wall Street CTO and Certified Ethical Hacker to full-on guitar innovator. Then you're pushed to rethink how you teach, lead, and build your own music brand. You learn why great schools and studios run on clear mission statements, strong unique selling propositions, and a coaching mindset that focuses on the student, not the curriculum—getting them hooked on the songs they actually want to play, then turning them toward what they need. You see how asking potential customers for their own answers, treating every audience like they matter, and showing up like a coach instead of a teacher all point to one core operating principle: you're never off-duty, because you Always Be Performing—ALWAYS. 00:00:00 Gig Gab 525 – Monday, March 16th, 2026 March 16th: Freedom of Information Day Guest co-host: Michael Grande from Card Chords and more 00:02:14 Getting out of NAMM 00:03:10 Have a good PR guy!

The legendary Joe Satriani calls in to talk about his upcoming tour and long friendship with Steve Vai. How he became a guitar teacher and who he taught. How he quit football to take up guitar.

In the second half of our conversation with Nick from Pod of Thunder, we dive deep into music, emotion, and entertainment.We compare the emotional depth of Steve Vai's "For the Love of God" with Joe Satriani's instrumental work, exploring how technical skill alone isn't enough—emotional connection is what separates great performances from legendary ones. We discuss instrumental music's power to convey emotion without words, touching on artists like Nat King Cole and what makes truly vulnerable performances resonate.Plus: Todd's saga with terrible hospital cutlery (it's worse than you think) and a fun debate about movie sequels better than their originals—from Terminator 2 to The Last Crusade.Linktree: https://linktr.ee/seangeekpodcastPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/meetthegeeksWe are a part of the Boneless Podcast Network: https://boneless-catalogue-player.lovable.app/Merch:Tee Public: https://www.teepublic.com/seangeekpodcastRed Bubble: https://www.redbubble.com/people/seangeekpodcast/shop@seangeekpodcast on Twitter, Instagram and FacebookMentioned in this episode:New Merch AdAn ad that incorporates Red Bubble and Tee Public
