Big thanks to our long time friends, Great White, for making time to stop by the KCAL Studios to hang with Stu, Tiffany, and Jimbo Thursday morning. Plus, they brought their guitars for another in studio jam! here’s the video for their latest song, “Shotgun Willie’s”. Enjoy!

We’re less than a month away from the new album, 13. You guys have been all over the first song “God is Dead?”, so here are some more details about what we can expect.

It was great fun to have the opportunity to speak with former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted at the 2013 Revolver Golden Gods Awards. The Black Carpet was filled with reporters and journalists and Jason took a couple of minutes to speak to our KCAL Rockers. Jason has put together a new band called Newsted, has released an EP and is hitting the road this summer with Megadeth on the Gigantour.

The Revolver Golden Gods Black Carpet event was a blast. It all happened last Thursday evening at the Nokia Theater at LA Live in Los Angeles. I had the pleasure of interviewing Alice Cooper and Marilyn Manson about their upcoming co-headlining tour and about Alice’s forthcoming covers album. Marilyn Manson was the comedic sidekick during the interview. He seemed to let the veteran rocker, Alice, take the lead. Hope you enjoy the interview.

This past weekend it was Metallica Day at AT&T Park, home of the San Francisco Giants. Check out their sweet rendition on the National Anthem:

They were giving out some totally cool Metallica/Giants hats, and Daryl scored one!

Apparently, Daryl was enjoying the beers up there in San Francisco!

And then there’s Lars..kinda throwing out the first pitch:

Ok, we’ll just say it was a big looping curve ball that caught the corner of the plate…
 

Metallica Night happens at AT & T Park in San Francisco in conjunction with the Dodgers/Giants game tomorrow night. Big congrats to the winner of KCAL Workforce Getaway #2 who’ll be flying up there for the fun. Metallica is getting geared up for the event by releasing a video of them jammimg with Giants pitcher, Barry Zito. Pretty cool!

They’ll also be auctioning off the custom guitars they use to perform the National Anthem…
