Chris Shiflett (Foo Fighters)

" FIRST EPISODE OF SEASON TWO!!!!!! Thank you all so much for joining me!  I couldn't be happier or more thankful to have this opportunity for another amazing season and we're starting it off with a BANG!!  Today I get to sit down with a buddy I met almost thirty years ago! A little backstory: Chris Shiflett used to play in a punk band called, No Use For A Name in the 90's and I used to play in a punk band called Hagfish (also in the 90's...which is crazy because I'm still 25).Our paths used to cross all the time because we were on the same label (Fat Wreck Chords) and played shows together all over the place but it wasn't until one night at the famous, Bottom Of The Hill in San Francisco, Chris came out to see us play and him and i just hit it off. We realized we had a lot in common. From heavy metal to our love for the same guitars and gear and even the same players. We also both had older brothers that also played and had showed us both everything we knew.  It was like we'd know each other forever and we've been close friends ever since. I called him immediately after I'd heard the news that he'd joined one of the world's biggest (if not THE biggest) bands. I was so happy for him and proud of him. He's also been a major inspiration for me to always keep pushing and wanting better for myself. He's just the best and I love the guy.He deserves everything he has ten-fold. He's also a hell of a player and we talk about all of that and so so much more.I could keep going on and on but you'll hear me do a lot of that!Once again, thank you for tuning into my first episode of my second season of this thing that I love so much. I couldn't do it without you all and I hope you enjoy!" -ZachExplore more music podcasts at Ruinous Media.Find us on Instagram Mentioned in this episode:Schecter GuitarsDunlop
