Director Bill Fishman joins Staci Wilson on "Rock & Roll Nightmares" to discuss his legendary career behind the camera for some of rock's biggest names. From directing music videos for The Ramones, Georgia Satellites, and Good Charlotte to helming the cult films "Tapeheads" and "My Dinner with Jimi Hendrix," Fishman has captured decades of rock and roll history. Fishman shares behind-the-scenes stories from video sets, discusses the challenge of directing rock legends, and reveals details about his latest project, the Marlon Brando biopic "Waltzing with Brando" starring Billy Zane. The episode wraps with Fishman's own personal rock and roll nightmare - a hilarious tale from his years in the music industry trenches (spoiler alert: it involves The Grateful Dead... and this is not the first time that band has shown up in guests’ nightmares!).

Evan Husney, co-creator of Vice's "Dark Side of the Ring" and the upcoming Hulu series "Into the Void," joins Staci to discuss his deep dive into metal music's darkest chapters. Husney explains his fascination with the genre's tragic figures and shares insights into the show's impressive roster of subjects, from guitar virtuoso Randy Rhoads to punk pioneer Wendy O. Williams. The conversation explores the mysterious Kurt Struebing (NME) case and its chilling parallels to other music industry tragedies, while Husney discusses the series' innovative blend of traditional documentary interviews with dramatic recreations. He reveals which story from season one surprised him most during production and explains how the show's unique visual approach brings these haunting tales to life in ways that straight documentary footage cannot.
