The show begins on a festive note — with drummer Jeff Plate previewing Trans-Siberian Orchestra's dazzling Christmas tour, complete with lasers, pyro, and snow inside the arena. But joy turns quickly to dread as listeners call in about Charlie Kirk's assassination. A self-described amateur rifleman explains how shockingly little skill is needed to carry out such an attack, while others recount overhearing laughter about Kirk's murder in public spaces. Anger and fear rise as calls for firing squads and swift justice echo through the lines. Then the breaking news: the assassin's name. Twenty-two-year-old Tyler Robinson of Utah, a scholarship student, arrested after throwing away his future — and others' lives — in a single horrific act. With the FBI press conference looming, the episode captures a nation reeling: parents praying, citizens demanding vengeance, and a deep unease about security, radicalization, and where this violence will lead next.

This episode takes listeners on a rollercoaster of emotion. We start with a festive preview of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's dazzling holiday show — lasers, pyrotechnics, and snow inside the arena, plus insights from drummer Jeff Plate on what makes this tour an annual fan favorite. But the mood shifts sharply as callers react to the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk in Utah. Experts and listeners weigh in on the ease of carrying out such attacks, the suspect's identity, and the broader implications for public safety. Twenty-two-year-old Tyler Robinson, a scholarship student with his whole life ahead of him, is now in custody, sparking anger, grief, and calls for justice. The episode captures a nation grappling with tragedy, security concerns, and the fragility of life in a hyper-connected world.

Today's episode covers a wide range of intense stories shaping America. We break down the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk, the arrest of 22-year-old Tyler Robinson in Utah, and the public's reaction to this national tragedy — from discussions of gun violence and radicalization to the personal impact on families and communities. Amid this, we also highlight a lighter note with an in-depth look at the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's holiday tour, complete with dazzling pyrotechnics, lasers, and emotional performances that have captivated fans for decades. It's a day of stark contrasts: grief and fear, hope and celebration, all reflecting the complexity of life in modern America.

In this episode of Poducer at Sound Haven 2024, we link up with Tree Gaud and Ozztin — two close friends and rising names in the underground bass scene. From throwing down original edits on the UFO stage to geeking out about lasers at a Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert, this convo covers it all. We get into their unique approaches to performance, like Tree Gaud's “Flip God” set packed with bootlegs and bass, and Ozztin's genre-blurring style that lands somewhere between weird and heavy. They talk about growing up on Grateful Dead, Weird Al, and Adventure Club, and how those early shows shaped their path into electronic music. We also hear the full story of a surprise backstage moment with Skrillex at Soul Quest, and why that night was a turning point. From dreadlock maintenance to military stories and festival bromance, this one's full of wild memories, unexpected tangents, and pure Sound Haven energy.

oel Hoekstra is a powerhouse guitarist known for his technical skill, versatility, and relentless work ethic. Born on December 13, 1970, in Iowa City, Iowa, and raised in a musical household, he started out playing cello and piano. But everything changed when he saw Angus Young of AC/DC on TV—at that moment, he knew guitar was his calling. That inspiration launched a career that would span Broadway stages, stadium tours, and studio sessions with some of the biggest names in rock.Joel first gained wider recognition playing with Night Ranger in the late 2000s. Around the same time, he became a fixture in the Broadway musical Rock of Ages, performing eight shows a week while juggling touring commitments with rock bands. His ability to seamlessly shift between hard rock stages and theater pits set him apart from most guitarists in the scene.He later joined the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, known for their elaborate holiday arena tours, and in 2014, he landed a major gig as guitarist for Whitesnake. Since then, he's toured the world with the band, appearing on albums like The Purple Album and Flesh & Blood, where he also contributed as a songwriter. He's also performed alongside Cher, playing guitar for her Las Vegas residency and her “Here We Go Again” tour, proving he can hold his own in any musical environment.In addition to his high-profile band work, Joel leads his own project, Joel Hoekstra's 13, a melodic hard rock supergroup featuring players like Russell Allen, Vinny Appice, Tony Franklin, and Jeff Scott Soto. The project has released several critically acclaimed albums—Dying to Live (2015), Running Games (2021), and Crash of Life (2023)—with a new one on the way in 2025. The music is a blend of soaring vocals, powerful riffs, and sharp songwriting that showcases Joel's full range as a musician and producer.Outside of performing, Joel is a respected session guitarist and educator. He's contributed to albums by Foreigner, Dee Snider, and many others, and he's shared his expertise in magazines like Guitar World. Whether he's tearing it up onstage with a rock legend or composing intricate solos in the studio, Joel Hoekstra continues to prove why he's one of the most in-demand guitarists in rock today.⸻

This week, we welcome a true music industry veteran — Steve Trudell.

Angus Clark is an expert of all things Tony Iommi, and he has the gear to prove it! The Trans-Siberian Orchestra and Rock of Ages guitarist shows us a couple sweet Iommi tribute SGs as he walks us through Black Sabbath's discography, breaking down Iommi's vocabulary, sound, and gear, and how Iommi created some of the most identifiable riffs in all of rock. Angus is plugged in and ready to go, so we get to hear some of the moves in action—including how loose, light gauge strings create the signature Sabbath sound, how it encouraged some parts of Iommi's lead moves.Today's episode brought to you by https://rockymountainslides.com/Follow Nick: https://www.instagram.com/nickmillevoiFollow Jason: https://www.instagram.com/jasonshadrickGet at us: 100guitarists@premierguitar.comCall/Text: 319-423-9734Podcast powered by Sweetwater.

Welcome to PTBN Pop's Video Jukebox Song of The Day! Every weekday will be featuring a live watch of a great and memorable music video. This week, since we are once again in the holiday season, we are featuring Christmas music. On today's episode, Steve Riddle is watching, “Wizards In Winter” by Trans-Siberian Orchestra from 2004.

Jason Fraley catches up with drummer Jeff Plate as the Trans-Siberian Orchestra rocks Capital One Arena in Washington D.C. on Dec. 23. They discuss holiday hits from “Christmas Eve/Sarajveo” to “Christmas Canon,” which are still played on Christmas radio stations every December to this day. (Theme Music: Scott Buckley's "Clarion")

Welcome to Live From Progzilla Towers Edition 544. In this edition we heard music by Chicago, IQ, Bakelit, Annie Lennox, Ocular, I Am The Manic Whale, Giobia, Geoff Castellucci, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Mike Mainieri, Jethro Tull, Présent, Nik Bärtsch's Ronin, Joe Satriani, Chasmhead, Big Big Train, Opeth, Les Penning & Robert Reed, Kevin Gilbert, Shakti, Sabaton, Ott, Blueneck and Trevor Horn (Ft Matt Cardle).

Just to be 100% TRANSparent, this is NOT an officially sanctioned “Chronicles” episode. However, it is the time of year for the TRANS-Siberian Orchestra (featuring the “Savatage Brothers”) and we felt compelled by the power of the holiday season to delve into the realm of HAIR METAL and reflect back on one of the least desirable (yet often most satisfying) subgenres of metal alongside memories of poon from the days of yore with the kinds of girls you would “meet once at a party and never talk to again”. Really, the entire objective of hair metal was to give actual metal heads an “in” to attaining money, drugs, and (especially) poon back in the day.    Dust off your “gloves of shame” and get ready to “rip the band-aid off” and “power through it” because it's time to “hold hands”, discover some “stall appropriate noises” for the next time you've got to “deuce” and JOIN US as we get into the good, the bad, and the horrific of HAIR METAL.

While it may have taken a few detours for Jonathan Tetelman to become the opera star he is today, the journey has been well worth it. Tetelman initially found success with his voice quite young, singing in the American Boychoir School and recording with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Yet following years of vocal study, Tetelman stepped away from the arias to become a nightclub DJ in New York City. It was only upon realizing that opera was indeed his passion that Tetelman returned to the genre and found incredible success in the great music halls and houses across the globe. Tetelman now captivates audiences with performances in Madama Butterfly, Carmen, and La Bohéme – and with his albums “Arias” and “The Great Puccini.” Jonathan Tetelman speaks with host Alec Baldwin about the challenging transition from baritone to tenor, the work he puts in behind-the-scenes to understand his characters and how he navigates the physical demands of his career.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
