Possibly, Wikipedia isn't always accurate?  Todd and Ryan also discuss the impact that Lee Jackson brought to the sound of Judge Jackson. They elude to the fact that Lee was cremated with one of his guitars. That tells you how playing guitar encompassed his entire being. He was truly a road dog. The road was where he was meant to be. Ryan terms his as "The Tony Iommi of Southern Rock" - meaning he was the ultimate riff-master.  Todd as a former Canadian, admits that he still bleeds blue and white. Meaning that he is a supporter of hockey's Toronto Maple Leafs. Don Cherry is brought up and how Hockey Night in Canada is not the same since he was let go and the fact he should have never been let go. So again we get into sports which is fully embraced on the show.  Ryan also fills us in on how much of a 'Metalhead' he is. The Duran Duran his sister was listening to just wasn't cutting it for him. So like so many of us he moved over to the 'Darkside'.  Todd surprises Tyson within the conversation as he eludes to working with the legendary Mick Mars of Motley Crue on his solo material and other things. Todd is definitely on 'Team Mick' when the break-up is mentioned.  This is truly a great interview that features blood, sweat and laughter. Tyson had a blast talking to Todd and Ryan.  https://www.facebook.com/judgejackson/ Support the show www.nonstoprocktalkrocks.com

What is Anthony's favorite Black N' Blue album? When did Anthony first see Kix? What is Anthony's favorite Y and T album? These are questions that all get answered in this episode.  Queensryche's  amazing 'Operation: Mindcrime' album is talked about. The brilliance of the album is brought up and how Anthony made a conscious effort to go deep within the lyrical content like Queensryche did on the 1988 gem.

Tyson comes to find out that Anthony is a New York Yankees fan. Actually he is an all around sports fan... so this is not just a rock talk... it became, Non-Stop Jock Rock Talk for this episode and that makes it even better!

    Lockhart - Devon Kerr and Jason Junop

    Send us Fan Mail Non-Stop Rock Talk proudly presents guitarist/singer/keyboardist - Devon Kerr and bassist - Jason Junop of Canadian AOR band Lockhart to discuss the bands latest release on High Roller Records entitled 'City Pulse'.  The discussion goes full bore into the album.

Kane's single for "Does Anyone Fall In Love Anymore" is brought up and Devon actually sings the chorus!  The conversation discusses where Devon and Jason take influence from - it was surprising and interesting Desmond Child, Mark/Marcie Free, Survivor and Dare are all mentioned. These gentlemen have clearly taken a deep dive into so many lesser known bands that clearly influenced Lockhart's sound.  What really puts this interview into perspective... When Devon discusses what guitars were used on the album. He mentions using a Carvin Guitar - "The one Marty Friedman used in Cacophony". For those music geeks, like Tyson is - many would mention Marty in Megadeth, not Cacophony. So that is what this interview is, a surprisingly refreshing rock talk!
