Episode 06: Rob Caggiano and Ted Aguilar

In Episode 6 of the Signal To Noise Podcast we sat down with Rob
Caggiano of Anthrax and Ted Aguilar of Death Angel to talk about
their current Tour. In 1990 I saw Death Angel play at a little
place called "City Limits" it was an old Roller Rink that was used
for small shows. It was one of my favorite places to see a band
because you could get right up against the stage. It was small, but
probably still held 500 people. After that show Death Angel seemed
to just disappear. This was in the days before the internet, so I
really had no idea where they went. It was great to sit down with
Ted and talk about where they have been and how far they have come
now. We discuss everything from Ted's guitars to the guest
appearance from Rodrigo y Gabriela on their latest Release
"Relentless Retribution". 1991 I saw Anthrax for the first time
ever on what may been the perfect show for the times. The bands
were in order: Young Black Teen Agers, Primus, Public Enemy, and
Anthrax. It was probably one of the best lineups in a show I had
ever seen. I have followed Anthrax since 1986 or 1987 and to this
day there is still nothing like the sound of Anthrax. They
re-defined the term"heavy" and the set bar in a place where few
bands will ever be able to reach. 20 years after that first show I
saw Anthrax again. And now I can can say that the show I just saw
was probably the best line up for a show I have  ever seen. I
had the opportunity to sit down with Anthrax's lead guitarist, Rob
Caggiano, and discuss his role as a producer and how he captured
the classic Anthrax sound while still sounding modern.
