Rock Of Nations With Dave Kinchen

We’re taking the last weekend of summer off but we’ve got some killer shows planned for the week ahead. Check out what we’ll be talking about!

We are learning more about #Cars legend #RicOcasek’s final hours. Also, #RodStewart says he’s in the clear following a prostate cancer diagnosis. #KKDowning will jam with #RipperOwens and others, and #DavidLeeRoth on #EddieVanHalen’s health...sort of. We are looking at a new Roth interview that is raising questions in #VanHalen fandom.

It was a tough weekend for us rock fans with the deaths of #RicOcasek of #TheCars and #EddieMoney happening within days of each other. We remember both legends, and we have part 2 of our interview with iconic hitmaker #DesmondChild.

Legendary hitmaker to the stars #DesmondChild talks exclusively with Dave Kinchen about his upcoming album #DesmondChildLive (released Oct. 25th), along with writing smash hits with #BonJovi; #KISS, #Aerosmith and many more. Enjoy!

Here is our preview of Dave Kinchen’s interview with legendary Grammy-winning hit songwriter #DesmondChild, who has written with #BonJovi, #KISS, #Aerosmith, #Cher and many more. Enjoy!

After days of speculation, #Tool knocks off #TaylorSwift for the number one #Billboard album spot. We break it all down, including a bizarre mini-culture war that’s broken out between #Tool fans and #Swifties. Also, #MetallicA does #S&M again and we talk the latest in the world of vinyl with Dan at #RepoRecords in #Philadelphia.

A shocking story out of an #IronMaiden concert where a fan gets beat up. Singer #BruceDickinson goes off on the venue and security. We’ve got a link to the audio. Also, #RobHalford is doing a #Christmas album, with several new tracks. Finally, we are talking more about how rock stars have embraced social media, and how it brings them closer to us fans. Enjoy!

Ever wonder what #BruceSpringsteen’s #EStreet drummer #MaxWeinberg thought of his son drumming for #Slipknot? We’re looking at a new interview an outlet did with #JayWeinberg that has a rather funny answer. Also, we’re talking about some modern classic rock supergroups that may leave you astonished.

It had to come at some point, but yes we are here. It’s the unofficial end of summer. We’re talking up some of the best summer rock concerts and even #MadeInAmerica (with little to no rock, but that’s okay). Also, #PaulStanley takes on gun control after the #Odessa shooting. We look at politics on both sides of the guitar...or aisle.

It’s a full show, kicking off with our review of #Tool’s long-awaited new album #FearInoculum. Dave finds it absolutely mind-blowing; both musically and lyrically, but don’t think that would be a typical review! Also, #DefinitelyMaybe by #Oasis turns 25 this week, and what would have happened if #PaulRodgers joined #DeepPurple instead of #DavidCoverdale? Lastly, some members of #Congress want a full investigation into #LiveNation and the ticketing industry. Where might this go?

It’s part 2 of our exclusive interview with famed drummer #AntonFig. Here he talks about his memories as part of the house band for the “#LateShow With #DavidLetterman”, plus his advice for drummers starting out today.

What a pleasure it is to have legendary “#LateShow With #DavidLetterman” drummer #AntonFig on the program! In the first of our two part interview, he talks about working with #JoeBonamassa, #KISS and KISS guitarist #AceFrehley. Plus the “RONDK Vinyl Master” is back with some more good records to talk about. Enjoy!

We just got off the phone with legendary drummer #AntonFig of the #LateShow With #DavidLetterman, #AceFrehley’s solo albums, and #KISS. Here’s a little bit of our chat where he talks about playing with famed new generation axeman #JoeBonamassa! More of our interview this weekend!

Dave Kinchen tries his hand(s) at a piano jam and some drumming...sort of. In news: some unlikely stars came out to greet #IronMaiden in #Nashville. It’s none other than #KeithUrban and wife #NicoleKidman! Also, #Aerosmith drummer #JoeyKramer misses another show due to injury and #Tool reveals singer #MaynardJamesKeenan received death threats for the new album taking so long to make. What is wrong with some people?!

Yep! You guessed it. It’s another loaded down show! The U.S. #JusticeDepartment is backing up #LedZeppelin in their #StairwayToHeaven case. #FooFighters are working on new material. #RichieFaulkner of #JudasPriest has high praise for #KKDowning after #Bloodstock. Finally, we continue our look at the non-Ozzy #BlackSabbath records in the 90s.

Iconic singer and songwriter #MartinPage checks in to talk about his recent solo works: The Amber of Memory and The Slender Sadness (The Love Songs), plus his 90s hit "In the House of Stone and Light”. He also shares his memories of collaborating with #EltonJohn’s chief lyricist #BernieTaupin to write such classics as "We Built This City” for #Starship and “These Dreams” for #Heart.

We are taking a look back at the stories behind the non-#OzzyOsbourne #BlackSabbath albums on this show. But first...we know #Ozzy has done loads of drugs over the years (by his own admission), but does he now classify as a genetic mutant? We’ve got the wild science story here. Also, #LynyrdSkynyrd has postponed some shows as founding guitarist #GaryRossington recovers from heart surgery. Get well soon sir!

It’s a loaded show! Lots of news and random rock n’ roll memories all mixed into one episode. #Tool’s new song makes history on #Billboard. Also, #KKDowning destroys at #Bloodstock, former #Motorhead guitarist #PhilCampbell has a new song and album with #DeeSnider and many other legends, plus our friend Shane shows us some wild 80s concert tickets for #DefLeppard, #Blondie, #ElvisCostello and more. Care to guess how cheap the cost of admission was?! It will blow your mind!

The reviews are coming in for #Slipknot’s brand new album and the new #Tool song. Dave has his take on those. Plus, more of our exclusive interview with #JudasPriest legend #KKDowning. Why he says the band is shutting him out completely as they announce their 1st 50th anniversary show. Also, a new segment where we talk vinyl albums with our own vinyl master!

Our friend, founding #JudasPriest guitarist #KKDowning checks back in, previewing his upcoming jam with #RossTheBoss of #ManOWar at the #UK’s #Bloodstock festival this weekend. We also ask for K.K.’s thoughts on Priest announcing its first 50th anniversary show next year and where he is with his former band today. Enjoy our chat!
