Talkin’ Rock With Meltdown

Talkin’ Rock with Sammy Hagar, Doug Aldrich of the Dead Daisies, and Firehouse’s Nate Peck


Sammy Hagar is up first this week. His new song “Encore, Thank You, Goodnight” is out now. Sammy talks about the song, how it came to him in a dream, and why Wolfgang Van Halen didn’t play on it. Sammy is really upfront and candid when he talks, which is appreciated. He also shared his thoughts on playing the last Ozzy/Black Sabbath show and the songs he’ll be singing. 

Doug Aldrich from The Dead Daisies is next. Doug fought a cancer battle last year and talked about that. I’m very happy that he’s come out of it, and he says he gets stronger every day. 

The band dropped a new album called Looking For Trouble, where they cover classic blues songs. He told me how the idea came about and spoke about the recording process and location. He also shared stories of rockers, including David Coverdale of Whitesnake, Ronnie James Dio, Reb Beach, and the first time he met Randy Rhoads. I could talk to Doug all day!

Finally, singer Nate Peck joins me. This is the first time I’ve ever had the chance to s[eak with Nate. The Michigan-born singer talks about being on American Idol, through getting the job with Firehouse. The first gig they played, he didn’t even get to rehearse! Nate speaks of his influences, singing these classic songs, and lost more. It was great to connect with Nate!
