  • Josh Travis Addresses His Absence From The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza’s Reunion Shows

    During a recent appearance on The Totally Legitimate Business Podcast, guitarist Josh Travis explained his absence from The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza’s recent reunion shows. According to him, he was unable to take part in the performances due to scheduling conflicts.

    Travis said the following:

    “What is my current status? Well, I would say over the last two months, I guess I have learned that we have a new guitar player [Eric Berngruber]. This guitar player will basically be handling anything that I do, or have done, anytime I’m not there. And I’ve also been hearing things like, maybe we just have three guitar players? So I’ve been kind of waiting to see what’s the… is my role here again? I’ve been kind of waiting to see, I don’t know if I’m gonna have to be a second drummer. Like I don’t know what’s going on yet, but one thing I do know is I don’t have to do vocals and I don’t have to play bass. I do know that for sure. So what is my status?

    Well, I will definitely be here. It’s just little harder because I do still play guitar and Emmure, and I also work for A Day To Remember. [With] A Day To Remember my schedule is like typically set out pretty far in advance. So I’ve been trying to balance just the these two, you know, between Emmure and A Day To Remember, and that’s like, hard enough as it is. So then when Danza‘s stuff started coming into it, it was kind of like, ‘I’m probably gonna go jump into a river or a lake or something’, and then, you know, like, we’ll just see what happens from there. But so we were lucky enough to be able to get Eric in here, who doesn’t know how to play any of the songs properly.

    But, he went in and he taught Layne [Meylain, guitarist] how to play all of the songs improperly. So, um, we got they got that going for us. Everything is wrong. We got that going for us. Um, also, same thing with Emmure I have a fill-in over there, his name’s Chris [Dombrowski, of Sentinels.] He’s been handling everything over there. But so now, we’re just kind of at this point where it’s like, okay, all of this stuff is slowing down. This is all slowing down. And now this is the first time I have laid eyes on Eric since… 2012…”

  • Watch Mawiza Cover Gojira’s “Amazonia” During Session At Joe Duplantier’s Silver Cord Studio

    Mawiza have shared an in-studio performance that they recorded at Gojira vocalist/guitarist Joe Duplantier’s Silver Cord Studio in Ridgewood, NY. You can check that out below. Notably, the set also included a cover of Gojira’s “Amazonia.”

    Duplantier commented:

    “I love Mawiza! For their music, for who they are as individuals and for what they stand for. They represent and honor their powerful Mapuche heritage, amplifying its relevant message of connection with our roots and the universe as a whole. And they do so with determination and in the most modern way, with heavy riffs and an openness to new ideas and to the world. A conversation between past, present and future. Don’t give up the fight!”

    Mawiza vocalist/guitarist Awka added:

    “In the winter season of 2024, Mawiza arrived at Silver Chord Studio in New York, right in the middle of the Northern summer. We came answering an invitation from Joe Duplantier. We traveled light, almost with nothing, the way bands from the bottom usually move. By trusting more in our newen than in any objects, we knew that if the path was true, the music would find its own tools. And that’s exactly what happened. Joe welcomed us with a generosity that still moves us, a kind of care for guests that feels very close to what we are taught since childhood in our nation. He didn’t hesitate to lend us his own instruments so we could shape the noise we carry inside.

    Silver Cord felt like a crack in reality for us. Metal breathing from the walls, the city howling outside, and us walking with the shadow of our ancestors over a faraway land. The north of Abya Yala has ancient guardians; we felt them watching, testing us, opening the way only because we arrived with respect and memory.

    We thank Joe for his honest and powerful hospitality, along with his family for receiving us with warmth from their hearts. We also thank Jamie [Uertz, mixer, etc.] for his impeccable work and all the people at Silver Cord. Finally, we thank the spirits of that distant mapu for letting us create without losing the pulse of who were are. We returned to our territory marked by a dark echo, a spiritual weight that is born only when the energy of nature and the brotherhood of metal meet in distant lands.”

  • Dave Mustaine Explains Why Megadeth’s Upcoming Album And Tour Will Be Their Last

    During an appearance on SiriusXM’s “Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk,” Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine further explained his decision to lay the band to rest following a farewell album and tour. According to him, it’s partially related to “physical stuff that was going on with [his] hands.”

    Mustaine said the following:

    “It had been a long time coming — just physical stuff that was going on with my hands… My hands were letting me down. And there were other things that were difficult because of all the stuff going on in my neck and my trunk. All that area there has arthritis and it has discs that are bulging. I’ve got a broken lumbar bone. Of course, you know I have my back fused, up by my shoulders, by my neck. And just a lot of stuff.

    I always said when it got to the point where I was unable to give a hundred percent every night, that’s when I was gonna start considering winding down. And it wasn’t that I was unable to give a hundred percent, because we finished the record, and I think we did a good job on it, but there was a period when we were working and I said to my manager, I said, ‘I don’t know how much longer I can do this. My hands are really hurting.’ And I didn’t mean to set the ball rolling. Honestly, I just was making conversation, and it turned into me talking to the band guys and sleeping on it and talking to my family and praying on it. And the answer was clear to me that by the time we’re done with the record, I’m gonna know how the record’s gonna do. If the record does really well, then I’ll be able to have one last really good tour. And the part about the farewell thing, it’s kind of like the same thing, isn’t it? We’ve got some dates that we wanna play to say goodbye to our friends.

    The thing is we’re an American band, but we play everywhere. So it’s not like we just are weekend warriors, like country acts here in the States. We’ve got a lot of touring to do in order to do our farewell properly.”

    He also added the following after Trunk mentioned artists that keep performing as quality declines:

    “I don’t think there’s any reason [for us] to [keep playing when we are not able to deliver a hundred percent]. I mean, unless you’re financially in a bad way and you need to keep playing, which, by the grace of God, I’ve been successful. I’ve been able to pay all my bills. All the band guys, they all get their paychecks on time. We do everything right by the book. So, some people, like I said, they may have to keep playing, because there’s nothing else for them to do. Now, when I think about, what am I gonna do after I hang the guitar up, that’s in relation to touring, and I believe that I’m going to keep doing music in some way, shape or form. But not in the fashion that I was doing with MEGS because if I can’t do it and I need to stop playing with my first love, I’m not gonna go out and try and do it again with someone else.”
