Talkin' Rock with Puscifer's Maynard James Keenan and Triumph's Rik Emmett.

Two big rock stars, one non-award-winning podcast! Maynard is up first, talking about Puscifer, the latest album Normal Isn't, the creative process, and more. He's spoken about being a self-doubter, which seems crazy, so I had to ask him if he gets stage fright. The answer might surprise you. What about seeing a show at the Sphere? Not so much, according to him. He and his band play the historic Fox Theater on April 18th, with many more tour dates. Then it's Canadian rock royalty in Rik Emmett. Unfortunately, I had technical issues, which I explain in the episode. That being said, we discussed the U.S.A. Olympic Gold hockey game, his book of poetry called Leaning Into it, and his relationship with former Triumph singer Phil X. All told, I hope Rik accepts my apologies for the technical glitches.
