The mighty John 5 joins the Talk Toomey podcast this week. We discuss his new solo live album "It's Alive" and talk about how the recording came together. John talks about his days playing with David Lee Roth, the new Rob Zombie album and we talk heavily about the life of a hired gun. John also talks more about Gene and Ace playing together. Bob Nalbandian is the mastermind behind "Inside Metal: The Rise of L.A. Thrash Metal" and is on to give all a history lesson. Bob talks about the first Metallica shows, the age of fanzines and what bands he thought should have been bigger. Robb Rivera of nonpoint makes his "Robb's Pick From The Kit" with a Testament gem.
