    William DuVall of Alice in Chains
    Jan 14 2026
    William joins Matt to talk about "Black Horizon," his debut with Metal Allegiance and the first new music from the hard rock supergroup in eight years. We also discuss his experience working with Metal Allegiance founder Mark Menghi in King Ultramega and their explosive cover of Soundgarden's "Rusty Cage." Plus, William gives us the origin story of how he met and started touring with Jerry Cantrell as part of Jerry's solo band for the Degradation Trip album (before the album was even out!). He also shares a surprising anecdote about his early days in Alice in Chains.

    Remembering Bob Weir
    Jan 13 2026
    UCR's Gary Graff joins Matt to reflect on the news of the passing of Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead. They dig into a number of topics including the many interesting layers of the Dead as a band, some of the things that influenced Bob as a player, the unexpected moment when the band had success with "Touch of Grey" in the '80s, thanks to radio and MTV -- and a song that's a polarizing moment in the catalog. Matt and Gary also talk about the fan culture, the gateways into the group's music, some notable covers and the inspiring work was doing with Don Was in the last years of his musical career.

    Aerosmith released their first album this week in 1973, so we're cracking the seal on a conversation you haven't heard yet with legendary producer Jack Douglas. He started working with the band beginning with 1974's Get Your Wings and shares the story of what he learned listening to their debut record and how the future Boston legends evolved in those early years. Along the way, Douglas also shares anecdotes regarding his experiences with John Lennon and Yoko Ono, the Who and what he's up to these days.

    Triumph
    Dec 11 2025
    Rik Emmett, Mike Levine and Gil Moore joined Matt on the eve of the tour announcement for Triumph's reunion tour to share the stories behind how the 2026 outing came together and also talk about how they're getting ready for the shows -- and how new band members Phil X (himself a Triumph alum), Todd Kerns and Brent Fitz will be integrated into the performances. We discuss a number of different subjects, with Rik offering insights on how the added three players will actually help them finally be able to play some of the songs live in a way that will be more representative of how they were recorded. We also dig into the history behind some of the band's biggest classics and the guys talk about whether or not they might be looking to make new music together.

    Chris Mars of the Replacements
    Nov 17 2025
    An expanded box set for The Replacements' Let it Be album is due out in November, so it was a lot of fun to talk to Chris Mars to revisit his memories of how the album came together. We dug through a lot of different Replacements-related topics, but also plenty of other subjects, including his time working with Golden Smog, his solo work, his artistic endeavors with painting, drawing and video and a good amount of conversation outside of all of that with Chris Mars, the music fan. Our thanks to Chris for spending some time and digging in deep. The Let it Be box set will be available Nov. 21st wherever you get your music.
