Rachel Bolan & Phil Collen

Rachel Bolan sits down with Eddie Trunk at the Jersey Shore to dive into his debut solo album, Gargoyles of the Garden State. The two share stories about growing up in New Jersey, from winning records on the boardwalk to sneaking into bars underage. Rachel opens up about the creative process behind the album, working with producer Nick Raskulinecz, and featuring guests like Corey Taylor, Nuno Bettencourt, and Danko Jones. They also discuss the ongoing search for Skid Row's next singer, reflect on the band's 35-year legacy since Slave to the Grind, and touch on underappreciated albums like Thickskin. After that, Phil Collen from Def Leppard sits down with Eddie to reflect on what he considers two of the best shows in the band's 44-year career during their Vegas residency. Phil opens up about Joe Elliott's three-hour vocal warmups, the band's renewed chemistry, and why they're still getting better after all these years. The conversation shifts to Man Raze, Phil's power trio with Sex Pistols drummer Paul Cook and Simon Laffy, as they release a comprehensive box set called Lock, Stock and Barrel. Phil also reveals he's been working with legendary producer Mutt Lange again on a Crossbone Skully track, discusses Delta Deep, and shares his thoughts on potentially playing the Sphere.
