#487 - Dez Fafara (DevilDriver/Coal Chamber)

Dez Fafara of Devildriver is our guest this week on The MetalSucks
Podcast! In this episode, we celebrate their new album Dealing With
Demons Vol. 2, emoji’s making their way in business communication,
the income a band would get for plays 20 years ago compared to
today, and younger audiences embracing late 90’s bands. We also
talk about what it was like touring with Type O Negative in the
early 2000’s, the lesson Peter Steele gave him one night while
drinking wine, how he gravitates to people in music without ego,
his take on the feature of releasing new music for the heavy scene,
and how the Devildriver fanbase has accepted any direction he feels
his art should go through the years. Petar also tackles Paul
Stanley’s comments on gender identity as being a fad, Dee Snider
getting remove from the San Francisco Gay Pride Parade because of
his support of Paul Stanley, Dustie Waring of BTBAM addressing rape
allegations, and Rage Against The Machine getting into the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame. Song: Devildriver “Through The Depths” Song:
