In this in-depth interview, I sit down with Spread Eagle bassist Rob DeLuca and vocalist Ray West (two longtime members of the band) to talk about everything past, present, and future.

We dive into their brand-new album The Brutal Divine and what fans can expect from this latest chapter. Rob and Ray also take us back to the early days of the band, including their debut in 1990, touring with acts like Vain and Scatterbrain, and the rise of Grunge which sidelined them.

We discuss the band’s breakup, what led to their eventual reunion, and how they’ve evolved over the years. Plus, we get into the current lineup, their renewed energy, and what lies ahead for Spread Eagle.

Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Darryl McDaniels — the legendary DMC of Run-DMC — recently donated his time for an incredible cause, helping raise money for my son’s school. I truly can’t thank him enough for his generosity.

Here’s how it all came together: at a recent gala, a meet-and-greet experience with DMC was auctioned off. Fred Buonainto and Marty Monaco placed the winning bid, and I had the pleasure of taking them to the legendary Sound On Sound Studios for an unforgettable hang with DMC himself.

In this episode, you’ll hear highlights from that special day — plus, don’t miss DMC’s brand-new track featuring Sebastian Bach, Mick Mars, and Duff McKagan.

Mark Strigl sits down with John Moyer of Disturbed for an in-depth conversation recorded in December 2025.

In this interview, John reflects on Disturbed’s sold-out concert earlier this year at Madison Square Garden in New York City, his journey into the band, and his time with The Union Underground, including why the band never released a second album. John also shares the story behind his audition for Disturbed and discusses the incredible singers he’s performed with over the years, including Scott Weiland, Scott Stapp, Russell Allen, and more.

The conversation also covers Adrenaline Mob, working with A.J. Pero (Twisted Sister), and John’s memories surrounding A.J.’s passing. We dive into his memories of playing with guitarist Mike Orlando, the band Art of Anarchy, experiences at Ozzfest, Queensrÿche, and John’s work on the upcoming Geoff Tate album, Operation: Mindcrime III. John also talks about Disturbed’s time in the studio over the past couple of years—and much more.

Mark Strigl Connects with Type O Negative, Quiet Riot and Patriarchs in Black Drummer Johnny Kelly for Deep-Dive Conversation on His Metal History and an Unreleased Bill Ward Collaboration

Mark Strigl recently connected with legendary drummer Johnny Kelly—best known for his work with Type O Negative, Quiet Riot, and Patriarchs in Black—for an in-depth conversation about metal and rock. Kelly reflected on Type O Negative’s history, how he originally got the gig, his time in Quiet Riot, performing with Kill Devil Hill, and more.

During the discussion, Kelly was asked about the long-rumored, unreleased song recorded by the surviving members of Type O Negative with legendary Black Sabbath drummer Bill Ward. Here’s what Johnny had to say:

“I wanna say, at this point, it was eight years ago, something like that. The foundation of it is, when Peter had passed away, Bill had written a song in tribute and he wanted to get the rest of us to play on it—Kenny, Josh and myself. So Kenny and I went out to California, played and did the drum tracks, the guitar tracks. I think Kenny is singing on it a little bit. I think Dewey is singing on it. Through that friendship of Bill and I, Dewey became friends with Bill Ward, and then Bill would have Dewey sing a lot of the stuff. Bill is always working on music… he is always writing and recording and stuff like that, and he grabbed Dewey.

So we did the song. Josh actually did a keyboard track on it in New York and that was it. We recorded the song, and I’m not sure—for a long time I wasn’t sure what was going on. But the last time we spoke to Bill, he was talking about getting the song finished. That was this year after Back to the Beginning, he said he was gonna start working on it and get it wrapped up.”

Josey Scott Reflects on Wayne Swinny, Saliva’s Legacy, and New Music in Exclusive Interview with Mark Strigl

In a brand-new exclusive interview, veteran rock journalist Mark Strigl sits down with Josey Scott, the original voice of Saliva and a four-time Grammy nominee. Scott opens up about his powerful return to music, collaborating with producer DJ Scattered Brains (Jelly Roll, Struggle Jennings), and honoring the 25th anniversary of Saliva’s breakthrough album, Every Six Seconds.

Throughout the conversation, Scott speaks candidly about his former bandmates and the late Wayne Swinny, who passed away in 2023.

“Wayne Swinny was and is a very dear friend of mine.”

When asked whether a Saliva reunion had been in the works before Swinny’s passing, Scott revealed:

“We had talked about doing a reunion tour with the original rhythm guitar player Chris D’Abaldo and the original bass player Dave Novotny and the original drummer Paul Crosby, we had talked about that for sure but because of… how do I say this? creative differences that weren’t between the 5 of us, we weren’t able to accomplish that… and I’ll just leave it there."

In addition to remembering Swinny, Scott and Strigl discuss Every Six Seconds, working with Nikki Sixx and Chad Kroeger of Nickelback, and Scott’s decision to leave Saliva.

A video of the full interview is now available on Mark Strigl’s official YouTube channel.
