#335: Jamey Jasta (Hatebreed)

Jamey Jasta of Hatebreed is our guest this week. We celebrate 500
episodes of his own podcast, The Jasta Show, the importance of his
show's sponsors for its survival, how he gets in trouble for
speaking his mind and the lessons he has learned from his peers in
podcasting. Turning to his band, he reveals how he thought The Rise
of Brutality would never be released, feeling competitive with
other bands when Hatebreed were coming up, and the role the Melvins
played in him falling in love with live music. We also discuss
heavy metal's reputation as an angry old guy on the lawn and his
suspicions that he was named after James Taylor. Petar, Brandon,
and Sylvia tackle some fan mail on when we think metalheads will be
able to attend live shows again and we discuss the coronavirus
battle rap between Pete’s offspring. Songs: Hatebreed - “When The
Blade Drops," Jasta - “When The Contagion Is You” (featuring
Matthew K. Heafy), Local H - “Turn The Bow” Learn more about your
