Greg Burgess of Allegaeon on The MetalSucks Podcast #163

Our guest this week on your favorite metal podcast was suggested to
us by none other than Chris Adler of Lamb of God back when he was
on the podcast last year, although we have been fans of
Allegaeon for quite a while outside of that endorsement. In our
interview with guitarist Greg Burgess we talk about trying to top
what you think is your best work, the shuffling of the staff
around the band, manager and booking agent and why they needed to
make a change, what surrounded the shift in singers for their
new record Proponent for Sentience, and we find out how much it
costs to get Bill Nye in your music video. We also discuss the
non-beef beef that came up this week between Born of Osiris
guitarist Born of Osiris and The Acacia Strain's Vincent Bennett.
What appeared to be drunk Tweets got serious when the metal media
paid it some attention. Are we taking ourselves too seriously?
Drunk Tweets are just drunk Tweets, right? Even if you are picking
a fight with someone who doesn’t even know why you are fighting
with them in the first place. When a band feels they have to
diffuse a situation as the first reaction to something that can be
attributed to an over-the-limit BAC level, maybe we need to
adopt a sense of humor. Let’s just apologize now for our
discussion too while we’re at it. Songs: Allegaeon – "All Hail
Science" Steve N Seagulls – "Symphony of Destruction" Learn more
