Chapter 95: "Death By A Thousand Cuts" ...as read by Andrew Elstner

(Recorded on Saturday Feb 4th, 2017)

We finally get a little bit serious with triple-timer Andrew Elstner. We have some serious topics to discuss. Andrew has since been dismissed from his role as the guitarist in Torche. Elstner tells for the first time what happened, sort of. We also talk about the passing of his amazing TILTS drummer and long time friend Ken McCray. Cancer sucks. Andrew connects some dots with TILTS members with some local St Louis bands and gives us a little insight to some great bands we don't know about (Prepare the google.)

Not really anything to link for this one, but check out TILTS!!! https://tilts.bandcamp.com/music

Chapter 95 is dedicated in the memory of Ken McCray. Thanks for the music, sir.

If you aren't laughing during this one then your earbuds are broken. This chapter is exactly what we've set out to do with this podcast...which is tell fantastic stories. We revisit for the first time (trust me, that's accurate) with our pal Andrew from the band Torche and recap their North American tour. Andrew wrote a tour diary and we pick some highlight stories. Like...Grand Rapids, MI is connected to New Zealand by a magical Lord Of The Rings pinball time machine. ...CC Deville of Poison has awful ideas about guitar sponsership in Toledo. ...There is a secret place of solace for bands in Montreal. ...Philadelphia almost killed Andrew by way of diarrhea. We get a little personal and talk about life off the road and the in-between stuff of a professional musician and how precious it is to cut your grass.

One last thing: There is a great guy out there named Jonathan Dick. He writes a lot and if you're into music you may have already read some of his stuff. His daughter is suffering from a respiratory disorder called ciliary dyskinesia. Follow the link below and just read.

Welcome to the maiden voyage! We have a bunch of guests lined up for the future but we're gonna ease into this first one, mkay? This week we talk about the early and untimely passing of Death bassist Scott Clendenin...only 47 years old. Total bummer. We are gonna discuss new purchases, music we are currently into and any live shows we see. But this time we can combine all three because we went to see a Torche show together. We caught the Wrong/Nothing/Torche show in Philly so we talk about that too. Finally, we review the documentary No New Kinda Story and reminice about the old days and discuss Tooth & Nail's impact on our lives and the music scene. Good times.

Sometimes, it's good to know Stephen Sarro. He got to be friendly with Andrew Elstner of Torche via the inter-webs and said he would try to get him on the show...and it worked! Andrew was nice enough to tell us his whole story. We've got hilarious stories about James Hetfield and his cell phone...how he had to get a baby at a restaurant involved in joining Torche...fighting evil robots to save Miami and why overseas venues always seem to have gummy candy. Andrew got his copies of "Restarter" about five minutes before he started talking to us, so he is checking them out for the first time while on with us. Torche's new album "Restarter" out on Relapse Records on Feb 24th. Go. Buy. Rock. Seriously..."Barrier Hammer" is one of the heaviest tunes they've ever done.

Music by Van Halen, Riddle Of Steel, Tilts, Torche, Torche again because they rule, Helms Alee and INXS.
