It’s a show LOADED with rock news so we adjusted to make room! #MickFleetwood says he regrets much of #FleetwoodMac’s drama going public over the years, (even though it inspired major hit songs).

This became an unofficial #Genesis fan podcast from the moment Dave Kinchen saw video of #PhilCollins and #MikeRutherford reuniting in Europe to play #FollowYouFollowMe. Rutherford’s #Mike+TheMechanics is supporting #Collins on his solo tour, but this was the first time the two played together publicly since the last Genesis show on the 2007 reunion tour. So what happens now? We talk about it! Also, #WolfgangVanHalen will play the tubs for #Sevendust guitarist #ClintLowery’s upcoming solo album. So...where does that leave things with #VanHalen? Who knows, but it’s fun to talk about!
