Duff McKagan catches up with Eddie Trunk from the road, sharing stories about Guns N' Roses' recent tours through Brazil, Europe, and North America. He talks about playing in cities that had never hosted international bands before, the emotional connection with fans, and how the band keeps things fresh by never playing the same setlist twice. Following that, Fred Coury, drummer for Cinderella, sits down to discuss his thriving career as a TV composer, including his work on the SYFY series The Ark.

The conversation takes a somber turn as they discuss Tom Keifer's latest vocal setback and what it means for any potential Cinderella reunion. Closing out the podcast, Joe Holmes joins Eddie to discuss his powerful new self-titled album, recorded with longtime collaborators Robert Trujillo and Mike Bordin from his Ozzy days. Joe opens up about the creative process, working with analog gear and two-inch tape to capture that raw, authentic sound.

She opens up about the incredible experience of touring with AC/DC for two years across multiple continents, how Angus Young became a fan of the band, and why watching them perform every night reinvigorates her love for rock and roll.
