Rob and Ray also take us back to the early days of the band, including their debut in 1990, touring with acts like Vain and Scatterbrain, and the rise of Grunge which sidelined them. We discuss the band’s breakup, what led to their eventual reunion, and how they’ve evolved over the years. Plus, we get into the current lineup, their renewed energy, and what lies ahead for Spread Eagle.

    TM 993 DMC

    Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Darryl McDaniels — the legendary DMC of Run-DMC — recently donated his time for an incredible cause, helping raise money for my son’s school. I truly can’t thank him enough for his generosity. Here’s how it all came together: at a recent gala, a meet-and-greet experience with DMC was auctioned off. Fred Buonainto and Marty Monaco placed the winning bid, and I had the pleasure of taking them to the legendary Sound On Sound Studios for an unforgettable hang with DMC himself. In this episode, you’ll hear highlights from that special day — plus, don’t miss DMC’s brand-new track featuring Sebastian Bach, Mick Mars, and Duff McKagan.
