Today on Let There Be Talk, my guest is my friend Scott Holiday, guitarist and songwriter for Rival Sons.

I've known Scott for a long time, and it's always great sitting down with him and catching up. This time around, we're talking about something a little different — his new solo record "Topology"

We get into songwriting, guitars, recording, and what it's like to be the lead singer on this record.

Scott is really an amazing musician and friend, and I always enjoy hearing how he approaches music and where his head is at creatively.

So sit back and enjoy my conversation with Scott Holiday, today on Let There Be Talk.

Today on another episode of Let There Be Talk, I'm sitting down with an old friend I haven't seen in about 20 years — Shane Russeck, owner of True North Watch Company.

It's always crazy when you reconnect with somebody after that much time and realize you can just pick right back up where you left off. Shane and I went deep on watches, motorcycles, cars, comedy, and a whole lot of stories from back in the day.

We talk about the world of watches and what it takes to build a company around something you're genuinely passionate about, but this conversation goes way beyond watches. We get into our absolute love of Design.

This one really felt like two old friends sitting down and catching up — no bullshit, just a great conversation.

So here we go.

Today on another episode of Let There Be Talk, my guest is comedian Matt Fulchiron.

Matt is a really unique comedian. He's got his own voice, his own perspective, and a style that I really enjoy.

He's here today to talk about his brand-new comedy special, "Altar'd Reality," which is out now on YouTube. And Matt definitely goes into some interesting territory with this one — religion, atheism, Jesus, and just the craziness of life in general.

We talk about the new special, his career in comedy, how he developed his style, and what it takes to keep doing this business and still have something to say.

I've known Matt for a while, and it's always great sitting down with another comedian and talk about the craft, the road, and everything that comes with it.

So here we go — Matt Fulchiron, right here on Let There Be Talk.

Today on another episode of Let There Be Talk, I'm sitting down with a guy who has one of the coolest jobs in Los Angeles — Mark Rosenthal, owner of the legendary Sunset Marquis.

For decades, the Sunset Marquis has been much more than a hotel. It's been a home away from home for rock stars, musicians, actors, comedians, producers, and some of the most interesting characters to ever pass through Los Angeles. The walls of that place have seen some serious history.

Today Mark takes us deep into the story of the Sunset Marquis — how it became one of the most legendary rock 'n' roll hotels in the world, the people who have stayed there, the stories that have unfolded behind those walls, and what makes the place so special after all these years.

We also talk about the brand-new documentary If These Walls Could Rock, which digs into the incredible history and mythology surrounding this iconic hotel.

I love the history of Los Angeles, I love rock 'n' roll, and when you put those two things together, you get one hell of a conversation.

So let's get into it. Mark Rosenthal, owner of the Sunset Marquis, right here on Let There Be Talk.

Thank You

Today on another episode of Let There Be Talk, I'm sitting down with Amelia Davis, curator of the incredible Jim Marshall Photography Archives.

If you're a fan of rock 'n' roll history, this is a special one. Today we're talking about a brand-new book documenting one of the most legendary moments in music history — The Beatles' final concert, which took place right in San Francisco at Candlestick Park on August 29th, 1966.

Jim Marshall was there with his cameras, capturing The Beatles at a moment when nobody knew they were witnessing the end of an era. These photographs give us a front-row seat to what turned out to be the final paid concert The Beatles ever played together.

Amelia and I dive deep into Jim Marshall's relationship with The Beatles, the story behind these incredible photographs, the chaos surrounding that final show, and what it was really like to document some of the biggest moments in rock history through Jim's lens.

This is a great conversation about The Beatles, San Francisco, Jim Marshall, photography, and the end of an incredible chapter in rock 'n' roll history.

Let's get into it.

Today on Let There Be Talk, I'm sitting down with a true guitar legend — Brad Gillis.

Brad is one of those players whose sound you know the second you hear it. He helped define the sound of Night Ranger with those killer dual-guitar harmonies, and he also stepped into some pretty massive shoes when he joined Ozzy Osbourne's band following the passing of Randy Rhoads.

We're talking about the early days, Night Ranger, Ozzy, Randy Rhoads, the legendary Speak of the Devil record, life on the road, and what it was like being one of the guitar players at the center of some of the biggest moments in rock history.

Brad Gillis is a killer guitar player, a Rock n Roller and a huge part of the history of American hard rock.

Let's get into it. This is Brad Gillis — right here on Let There Be Talk.

My guests today are the directors of the brand-new Sunset Marquis documentary If These Walls Could Rock, Tyler Measom and Craig A. Williams.

The Sunset Marquis wasn't just a hotel — it became a home away from home for rock stars. It's a place where records were written, friendships were made, parties happened, and some serious rock 'n' roll history went down.

Tyler and Craig take us deep inside the story of this legendary hotel and the musicians, bands, producers, and characters who have passed through its doors over the decades.

We're talking rock 'n' roll history, Hollywood, music, and the incredible stories that made the Sunset Marquis so much more than just a place to stay.

This is a great one. Let's get into it.

Today on Let There Be Talk, I'm very excited to have two incredible people joining me who are doing something really important for the comedy community — Zoe Friedman and Amber J. Lawson, the co-founders of Comedy Gives Back.

Comedy is supposed to make people laugh, but behind the scenes, comedians are dealing with many of the same struggles everybody else faces — mental health, addiction, financial problems, and just the pressures of trying to make a living in this business. Zoe and Amber saw that there was a real need for comedians to have somewhere to turn, and they built Comedy Gives Back to provide support, resources, and a safety net for people in the comedy community when they need it most.

Today we're going to talk about how Comedy Gives Back started, why this organization is so important, what they're seeing within the comedy world right now, and what comedians can do if they're struggling or simply need some help.

This is a really meaningful conversation, and I'm honored to have them here. Zoe Friedman and Amber J. Lawson, the co-founders of Comedy Gives Back — right now on Let There Be Talk.

We really get into what makes this album so special and what it's like to put your heart into a record and let the world hear it.

Today on Let There Be Talk I sit down with one of the true survivors of rock 'n' roll, Phil Lewis, the unmistakable voice of L.A. Guns.

From the wild days of the Sunset Strip to today, Phil has lived it all. We dive into the band's incredible legacy, the making of classic records like L.A. Guns and Cocked & Loaded, the chemistry between Phil and Tracii Guns, and how the band has found a creative second wind over the last several years with a string of killer new albums and relentless touring. We also talk about the brand-new live release, Live From The Guild Theatre, why L.A. Guns is still firing on all cylinders, and what keeps him inspired after decades on the road.

This is a conversation about longevity, songwriting, surviving the music business, and what it really takes to keep a rock 'n' roll band alive. Phil is brutally honest, and full of incredible stories from one of the greatest eras in rock history.

If you love hard rock, the Sunset Strip, and hearing it straight from someone who lived every minute of it, you're going to love this episode.

Today on Let There Be Talk, I've got one of the greatest rock drummers of all time joining me—Matt Cameron.

When you talk about musicians who helped shape the sound of Seattle and completely change the course of rock music, Matt Cameron is at the top of the list. From his groundbreaking work with Soundgarden, to the emotional brilliance of Temple of the Dog, to holding down the drum throne in Pearl Jam for over a quarter century, his résumé is simply untouchable.

Matt's playing has always been the perfect combination of power, groove, creativity, and precision. Whether it's the odd-time signatures of "Gun," the thunder of "Rusty Cage," the emotion of "Hunger Strike," or the driving force behind Pearl Jam's incredible live shows, he's always served the song while pushing the music forward.

Today we dive into his incredible journey—from the early Seattle club days and the explosion of the grunge movement, to recording legendary albums, life on the road, working with Chris Cornell, and so many other iconic musicians, and what keeps him inspired after decades at the highest level.

If you're a fan of rock, drumming, songwriting, or just hearing stories from someone who's truly lived music history, you're going to love this episode.

Please welcome the one and only Matt Cameron.

Today on a brand new episode of Let There Be Talk, I've got one of the greatest voices in rock music joining me—the one and only Corey Glover.

From the moment Living Colour exploded onto the scene with Vivid, Corey helped redefine what heavy music could be. Songs like "Cult of Personality," "Open Letter (To a Landlord)," and "Love Rears Its Ugly Head" weren't just incredible records—they changed the conversation. For nearly four decades, Living Colour has blended hard rock, funk, soul, jazz, and fearless social commentary into a sound that's completely their own.

Corey has also built an incredible career outside the band, from solo records to acting, collaborations, and countless unforgettable performances. And now he's part of an exciting new project, ONE TRIBE NATION, an all-star collective that's paying tribute to the music that shaped them. Their latest release is a powerful live version of the Black Sabbath classic "The Wizard," with Corey delivering a vocal performance that reminds you exactly why he's one of the finest frontmen in rock.

Today we dive into the legacy of Living Colour, the band's influence on generations of musicians, the creative spark behind ONE TRIBE NATION, what it means to reinterpret a Black Sabbath classic, and why Corey is still pushing himself creatively after all these years.

Turn it up, spread the word, and please enjoy my conversation with the incredible Corey Glover.

Today on Let There Be Talk I've got a true guitar God in the house — one of the most technically insane, melodic, and joyful players to ever plug into a Marshall… the one and only Paul Gilbert.

You first felt the shred attack with Racer X, where the speed was blistering and the musicianship was on another planet. Then came the arena-sized hooks and monster riffs with Mr. Big — yes, the band that gave the world "To Be With You," but also some of the fiercest guitar playing of the late '80s and '90s.

Now Paul is back with a brand-new solo record, WROC — and as always, he's pushing himself, chasing tone, melody, and that endless curiosity that's kept him evolving for decades.

We dive deep into:

• The making of WROC

• His practice philosophy and how he stays inspired

• Life in Mr. Big and Racer X

Paul's not just a shred legend — he's one of the most positive, dedicated lifers in rock 'n' roll.

Turn it up.
This is Let There Be Talk. 

Thank You
