Hello and welcome to a very special one off episode of Tour Talk as I’m joined by Frank Bello of thrash metal legends Anthrax to discuss his brand new book Fathers, Brothers and sons: Surviving Anguish, Abandonment and Anthrax. 

It really is a fantastic read and what struck me most was that even though this a co-write with Joel Mciver this book is very much in the voice of Frank. The book is a fantastic insight in to Frank’s life and he is incredibly honest when discussing some deeply personal moments as well as being hilariously funny when covering things  a little less serious. 

We also delved   into current topics too as we learn what life is like touring within the new ‘Covid Bubble’ environment. We discuss Anthrax’s 40th anniversary and the prospect of celebrating this properly on the road in 2022. Of course this wouldn’t be Tour Talk without discussing food so there’s a nice slice of that for you too.  

Introducing 'My Friend Of Misery' editor & co-producer of Tour Talk for his On Screen / Mic debut... Rob Anderton. 

Here's a glimpse behind the scenes at what it takes to put an episode of Tour Talk together and the various strains our 'friendship' endures trying to create a podcast and getting it out to the world.

Hello this is episode 26 of tour Talk and this week I was joined by the awesome Dave ‘Brownsound’ Baksh from Sum 41

We talk bar fights, crossing borders with paraphernalia on board the bus and how the band narrowly avoided not only the London bombing but also being on the flight that took off from Newark on 9/11. 

Being a geordie and knowing Dave is a big Newcastle United fan we had to get in to that and then through no fault of my own Lamb curry is once again discussed on the show as Dave tells us about the time he almost moved to Newcastle and his love for my second favourite Indian restaurant here in town. 

I ask Dave what its like for a band having to make the tough decision to cancel a show during the pandemic, we talk quarantine collabs, and his first real taste of touring, which bizarrely was playing Rugby over here in the UK in his teens and a whole lot more

Oh and there’s a moment of sympathy taken for Justin Beiber… obviously
