Whole Lotta Talk - Interviews That Rock!

The Offspring are FINALLY back! It's been almost a decade, but now their new album "Let the Bad Times Roll" is coming on April 16. We talked to guitarist Kevin „Noodles“ Wasserman and singer Bryan „Dexter“ Holland - about the process of getting their new record out on the market, why their 9 year hiatus ends now and about their close collaboration with legendary producer Bob Rock (Metallica, Mötley Crüe, Bon Jovi, Queen, etc.). We also learned more about the album title’s gloomy meaning, why there are anti-American songs on the record AND… those two Offspring idols spark a lot of hope in our hearts that it won’t be another decade before we get new music.

We also talked about the process of releasing a record in times of Corona and also about the pain of not being able to celebrate it live on stage with their fans. And we talked about riding Harleys in Canada and the hope for a better future. Enjoy! +++ Whole Lotta Talk - Interviews that rock!

The British Metalcore band released their new record For Those That Wish To Exist on 26th of February. It's a record on disasters happening around the world, the climate change, questioning the human race. Sam Carter, vocalist of Architects, gives us an insight of the songs, their evolving sound and what's about to come. Also, where did their typical BLEGH-scream go? Carter gives us all the answers. A detailled interview on the new Architects record! Enjoy!

Are AC/DC done? Not the first time Angus Young might have heard this question - and the answer is still the same: This story is far from over! We talked to Angus about the legacy of his brother Malcolm, their album "POWER UP" and the future of AC/DC. 'Cause there is much more to come... Enjoy!

During a time of no concerts many artists are trying to make the best out of the situation and are working on new material to release. So did Brian Welch - better known as the guitarist of nu metal icons KoRn. Together with Breaking Benjamin's Jasen Rauch he took his project Love and Death into the studio and the result "Perfectly Preserved" just sounds awesome! We talked to Brian about the new record, why they put a Justin Bieber-song on it and about future plans with the band. Enjoy!

All good things come in threes and so for the third time in their career The Black Crowes announced their comeback. We talked to guitarist Rich Robinson about the reunion, the relationship to his brother Chris and the big question if there's another album on its way. Enjoy!

Ausschnitte aus diesem legendären Interview aus dem Jahr 2015 gab es schon on air zu hören, aber wir wollen euch dieses ganze einstündige Musterbeispiel an trockenem britischen Humor nicht vorenthalten! Anwesend dabei: der Meister der Gitarre UND des Sarkasmus, Ritchie Blackmore, sein bezauberndes amerikanisches Pendant Candice Night und ein Interviewer, der zumeist vor Lachen nicht mehr zu hören ist. Viel Spaß dabei!

We talk about the upcoming new album "Cyr", the musical development of the Smashing Pumpkins, the human development of... all of us... and also what their famous line "the killer in me is the killer in you" actually means. And yes, Billy is just as great as you think he is!

For more than three years, there was nothing but silence coming from the duo out of Southern England. Now, Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher are back with their new single "Trouble's Coming" - and for our ROCK ANTENNE interview, they delivered deep insights into their music making process, why the new stuff took so long and what we can expect from the upcoming LP next spring.

Biffy Clyro's bassist James Johnston gives us an insight into how the songs on their latest record came together, his favourite memories while recording, but also what the rock community is all about and the current situation of the live industry in the UK.

He is co-responsible for the success of one of the largest bands of the past two decades. Now, Mike Shinoda is doing music on his own and, due to current lockdown-circumstances, even started streaming on Twitch. We picked the musical all-rounder's brain - and what we found could spell the end of Linkin Park!

Sometimes life is pretty unfair - you're working on a new record for years, finally put it out and then a virus cancels your whole tour. But that won't stop Kansas for long - the party will be even hotter and louder in 2021 and for now the members got some time to discover new hobbies. We talked to lead singer Ronnie Platt about the new album "The Absence of Presence" and about future plans for Kansas. Enjoy!

Listening to "Holy Moly!" by the Blues Pills it's hard to believe it's just their third studio record they ever made. Every note, every beat and every chord sits right where it should be and Elin Larsson's voice is just the icing on the cake. We talked to Elin and guitarist Zack Anderson about their new record, proud women and hard tunes on the new album. Enjoy!

He's an ikon of the 70s, 80s and 90s in Alternative Rock and he is non-stop on the run: Bob Mould of Hüsker Dü and Sugar. In 2019 he released his record Sunshine Rock, now the next one is already to be released in September - more aggressive, socio-critical and very personal. But Mould is also working on the release for his super deluxe boxset Distortion: 1989 - 2019. All you need to know about the busy mastermind in this episode - enjoy!

What's new with Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor? The singer is about to release his debut solo record in fall, so we called him for an exclusive ROCK ANTENNE interview. Corey gives us a great insight into the songs, the writing process, future plans especially regarding touring with Slipknot and solo. All you need and wanted to know about the upcoming Corey Taylor solo record. Enjoy and rock on!

What's news with Metallica? Their remake of the legendary S&M live album is coming in August, so we called Kirk Hammett himself in Honolulu to find out more. In our exclusive ROCK ANTENNE interview, Kirk gives insights into working on S&M2 and also working on completely new music - which apparently he does best while on a surf board. :-) Also, we discover his unconventional love of German Schlager and other fun things. Aloha and enjoy!

What's news with Within Temptation? Like the rest of us, our favourite Dutch Symphonic Metallers are dealing with the Corona lockdown - but how do they spend their free time? In our exclusive (and extensive) chat with the one and only Sharon den Adel, we talk about the lockdown and how to deal with it, about new music, postponing the tour with Evanescence, the necessity of a visit to the hairdresser's and - alcohol. Cheers!

Now, punkrock also has got a supergroup: the Fake Names: Dennis Lyxzen from Refused, Brian Baker from Bad Religion, Michael Hampton from State Of Alert and finally Johnny Temple from Girls Against Boys. Together they now released their self-titled debut album and in the future we can expect more from the group - another studioalbum and maybe even a tour .

Originally, Evanescence would be on tour with Within Temptation right now - if the world wasn't being brought to a halt by a virus. So we will have to wait a little while longer for the double Symphonic Metal trouble - but it will surely be worth it! In the meantime, we had a chat with singer Amy Lee. In our exclusive interview, we talk about the new record in the making, their newest single and of course about the impact of the Corona virus on music, touring, and basically the whole world. A great talk with a great woman - enjoy!

What's new with The Pretty Reckless? It's been rather quiet since their last record "Who You Selling For" 2016 - but this year we'll get new music by Taylor Momsen and her guys! The first song "Death by Rock and Roll" is out now and in our exclusive interview, Taylor herself tells us more about the track, the upcoming record and how it helped her through pretty rough times. Also, like the rest of us, Taylor Momsen is staying at home at the moment and gives some advice on how to stay sane during quarantine. Enjoy!
