Kevin Martin (Candlebox singer)

Episode 129- Kevin Martin from Candlebox! This was fun as I’ve been a fan of Candlebox since their debut and they are from my hometown of Seattle. Their debut sold over 7 million copies worldwide. Tours with Metallica, Rush and Aerosmith followed. Kevin tells the story of how the band formed and the early club days in Seattle. We discuss the Seattle scene, the new album “Wolves”, dealing with haters, and the infamous Courtney Love feud. 0:00:00 - Intro0:01:43 - Early Musical Beginings0:03:25 - Shoe Store & Seattle Bands 0:06:57 - Midnight Oil & Peter Garrett 0:08:56 - Forming Candlebox 0:10:42 - Humble Beginnings 0:13:10 - Seattle Bands: Lack of Camaraderie0:16:30 - Candlebox Debut Album Artwork 0:18:55 - Sweet Water & Green Apple Quick Step0:20:45 - My Sister's Machine & Ethical Dilemma 0:23:25 - Gruntruck & Dealing with Hate0:25:02 - Deserving Success0:26:05 - Rockstock '94 with Tool 0:28:30 - Candlebox's Genre 0:29:55 - Gift from Layne Staley 0:31:34 - Second Album (Lucy) 0:32:56 - Third Album (Happy Pills) 0:36:20 - Drummer Shannon Larkin 0:37:55 - "Gracious Few" Supergroup0:39:36 - "I Want it Back" Song 0:42:43 - Flirting with Velvet Revolver 0:44:16 - Love of Music 0:45:45 - "Wolves" Album Theme & Country Divisiveness0:48:50 - Music Brining People Together & Making Changes0:53:05 - New Singles From the Album 0:53:31 - "Let Me Down Easy" Co-Written with Pete Cornell 0:54:55 - Drums, Singing and Side Projects 0:57:15 - Courtney Love Feud 0:59:25 - Kevin's Podcast 1:01:30 - Breast Cancer 1:02:25 - Wrap UpCandlebox Website:https://www.candleboxrocks.comBreast Cancer Research Foundation:https://www.bcrf.orgChuck Shute Podcast Website:http://chuckshute.comSupport the showThanks for Listening & Shute for the Moon!
