Returning guest Woody Compton takes on what some feel is the Holy Grail of punk rock excess/hubris, The Clash's sprawling, three-record-36-track opus "Sandinista!" Woody contends it would have been far more effective - and palatable - as a single record, and brought us his 12 song track list as evidence. Rob is in love with the whole overindulgent assemblage, proving one man's mess can be another man's masterpiece. 

What was Cone McCaslin of Sum 41’s reaction to receiving a voicemail from Joe Strummer of The Clash? What happened while partying with Lars Ulrich after playing Metallica’s “MTV Icon” tribute TV special? What’s it like to share the stage with icons like Iggy Pop and Darryl “DMC” McDaniels of Run DMC? What does the bassist remember most about recreating the video for “Walk This Way” with Ja Rule and Nelly for the “MTV Icon” tribute to Aerosmith?

Find out what Cone reveals in “There Goes My Hero” - an interview series where Matt and Zach talk to their favorite artists about the first time they met their idols. Hear our guests relive every glorious (and possibly embarrassing) moment from encountering their musical heroes, and how that experience impacted them for the rest of their lives.
