#275: Queensryche Vocalist Todd La Torre

Queensryche vocalist Todd La Torre of Queensryche joins our show
this week. We talk about the band's new album, The Verdict, the
role producer Zeuss played in the recording process, Todd's
contributions to the drums on the album, how the conflict in Syria
become a lyrical inspiration and how the artwork was inspired by
laws that create social injustices. Todd also tells us about his
passion for documentary films, the importance of becoming informed
to stop polarization and how to deliver certain messages in a
hyper-sensitive culture. Finally, we get an update on the absence
of founding drummer Scott Rockenfield and we learn how the band's
live setlist on their upcoming tour with Fates Warning will feature
more of their new material. Petar, Brandon, and Jozalyn address
Maynard’s timeline on the new Tool record, Ozzy's recent
hospitalization, Staind's Aaron Lewis saying more stupid shit,
Maroon 5’s Super Bowl tattoo extravaganza and much more.
