They also chat about Jonny's now power trio with Mathias Wakrat and Rage Against the Machine's Tim Commerford, 7D7D. The conversation digs into Jonny's career that has had its ups and downs, what he gets out of making music, coping with adversity, and at the same time, showing up in the studio and on the road with some of rock's most respected acts. That and so much more.
