EP. 9 - JOHN STANIER (DRUMMER - BATTLES / THE MARK OF CAIN / HELMET / TOMAHAWK)

I cannot believe that LWICFD! ep.9 introduces one of my favourite drummers…John Stanier!!!   John has been a HUGE influence not only on me as I thrash around on a drum kit from time to time, but also on literally MASSES of other drummers / musicians / headbangers around the world 🤘🏼 I totally encourage you to dive deep in all of the bands John has been associated with over the years that I know of - namely Helmet, The Mark of Cain, Tomahawk & most recently, Battles. During my career in live music, I was extremely lucky enough to be asked to do live sound & tour manage 2 of Johns' bands over the years (The Mark of Cain in 2006 & Battles a few times including the 2008 Big Day Out & 2009 Australian / NZ tour) & it was super cool to catch up again with John from his home in New York City & shoot the shit about beer, his bands, some drum talk, vinyl records & my shitty sound FX 😅 PLUS find out just who he would invite to dinner…this guy has met pretty much every hella rock-person out there since picking up a pair of drum sticks. This episode also features a brand new segment where patreons of the show get to ask the guest a question…it's a work in progress but I encourage you all to jump on board the good ship Patreon if you feel inclined…it's a good hang & certainly has its benefits. Thanks as always to @shizafrigginhotsauce for the Friggin' hot sauce & sponsoring my show. You might actually need to frogmouth a Big Gulp Slurpy afterwards tho to chill your tongue. 🐸😜 Anyway go check them out and put it on all of the foods. 🌶️ Finally, don't forget to check out the Spotify playlist associated with this episode & the above mentioned PATREON & 🔗 to all those things & everything to do with John & all his bands + fun stuff from this episode are below 🤓 🍸   Bob SHOW LINKS: EP.9 SPOTIFY PLAYLIST: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3SE3eHwglSsmfKIg456ntE?si=df4b69c6635b4a1e BATTLES SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/artist/3EMSpwRtkvUTxfB4aS5xnA?si=zjVR2fK_SeOXhU_q4DsY6g THE MARK OF CAIN SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/artist/059RExYKIaKjxTQqkck98R?si=QKgIoQcvT0SwtDVXi-bewg TOMAHAWK: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6yyZgcrQ10gThrJxzqogiP?si=EjqcfV3pScCA4Oj6ASDLRw HELMET: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0qB0cTENhSUc0feov5qbg0?si=D6CN72DDSAWgQbOQ3pD_EA THE MARK OF CAIN - LIVE @ CHANNEL [V]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8U-4C3cSv0 DAGNASTY SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2KytjqKNcs59u2JaCKNT9E?si=vVIGkfVJS3q7rY73mt1MJA PHOTO OF MY YOUNG FAMILY @ THE STUDIO IN PAWTUCKET, R.I.
