On this loaded podcast Guitar legend Warren DeMartini opens up about reuniting with Stephen Pearcy to perform Ratt's iconic catalog after years away from the spotlight. He shares stories about their renewed musical partnership (which began at the M3 festival), the telepathic connection that remains intact, and his time recording covers and original material during his hiatus. He reflects on Ratt's MTV heyday, the making of classic videos like 'Round and Round,' his brief stint with Whitesnake, and his special musical bond with guitarist Carlos Cavazo. Then, Slaughter's Mark Slaughter and Dana Strum discuss their busiest touring year ever with over 50 dates. They reveal surprising statistics about their hits, with 'Fly to the Angels' reaching over 100 million views across platforms, far outpacing 'Up All Night.' The duo shares emotional stories behind their music, including how 'Fly to the Angels' once prompted a murderer's confession and they reminisce about their Vinnie Vincent Invasion days, their transition to forming Slaughter, and the tragic loss of bandmate Tim Kelly. And last but most certainly not least, Don Barnes, the sole original member of 38 Special, joins Eddie Trunk to celebrate the band's 50th anniversary. He reflects on the group's enduring success, attributing it to their truthful songwriting and consistent live performances. He also discusses their new album 'Milestone' - their first in 20 years - featuring a duet with Pat Monahan of Train and shares fascinating stories about touring with Iron Maiden, Rush, and Bon Jovi in their early days, his relationship with the Van Zant family, and how MTV helped launch their career.
