E8 : S1 Living the Dream with Mike DeLeone from Philip H. Anselmo and The Illegals Dabghanistan

    • Music Interviews

In this week's episode we had the great pleasure to chat with one of metal's friendliest faces and all around shredders "Metal Mike" DeLeon. Mike talks about his earliest introductions to music, when starting at age 4 his Dad took him to see concerts like Stevie Wonder, David Lee Roth, and Steve Vai!! Mike fills us in on all the details necessary to make it from fanatical metal fan mexican kid in Texas to playing on stage in front of 50k people on his first trip out of the country! He recalls the tale of meeting Kerry King for the first time and being given the opportunity to shred KFK's rig, an opportunity he took FULL advantage of... unlike our "classically" trained co-host when he was given his first chance. Finally, Metal Mike updates us on new music from his band Flesh Hoarder, as well as gives us the very inside story as to what finally convinced his other project, Philip H Anselmo and the Illegals, to start covering Pantera songs for the first time, giving fans something they have so desperately wanted!
 
sidenote: this episode easily breaks any previous podcast episode record for most appearances by DEVIL HORN/METAL FINGERS!!
