#162: Richard Christy of Charred Walls of the Damned / The Howard Stern Show

You might know Richard Christy as a cast member of The Howard Stern
show, but metalheads know him as being a badass drummer with
Death, Control Denied, Iced Earth, and now Charred Walls of the
Damned. In our in-depth interview we spend a lot of time talking
about that history, his relationship with Chuck Schuldiner, the
story of Death and the end of the band, how he approaches the
drums, and what Charred Walls of the Damned means to him in his
very busy schedule. Christy has been a vital part of not one but
two crucially important and disparate cultural icons, Death and The
Howard Stern Show; how did he do it? We dig in. Also this week
we praise ICP followers for being the most dedicated fans
of all time. Cutting one's finger off to pay tribute in a
ritual salute to a fallen Juggalo is the most metal thing we have
heard a fan of any genre of music doing in twenty years. Boredom
and Faygo can be a dangerous mix. Songs: Charred Walls of the
Damned – "The Soulless" Alcest - "Oiseaux de proie" Learn more
