#242: Orange Goblin's Ben Ward

Ben Ward of Orange Goblin is our guest this week. We discuss the
immediacy and sound of the band's latest record The Wolf Bites
Back, the reason Ward believes no rock band has captured a
generation like in the past, how popular artists rest on their
laurels after achieving success, the English metal scene and the
unity that used to make it special, why retirement doesn’t make
sense for musicians, and the successful crowdfunding campaign he
launched to help out Metal Hammer. Petar and Brandon present Kiss
toilet paper in ad form and discuss the importance of taking a
stand, the dangers of staying neutral in certain situations, and
how setting a bad precedent hurts the scene and fans. Songs: Orange
Goblin - "The Wolf Bites Back" Iced Earth - "Declaration Day" Learn
