#65: Roadrunner Records A&R Man Dave Rath

Senior VP of A&R for Roadrunner Records Dave Rath guests this
week as Chuck and Godless try and expand the knowledgebase for
bands of all levels. We discuss what it takes to get signed,
the state of the industry and metal in general, and whether your
band isn't doing enough work or just plain sucks. We also talk
about the trajectory of one of their latest signings, King 810, and
how their rise has happened seemingly out of nowhere. Doc Coyle
rejoins the podcast this week for another edition of Rejecting the
Sickness, this time defending Phil Labonte of All That
Remains even though he seemingly called out God Forbid by name last
week for not being "musicians." Chuck and Godless discuss Vinnie
Paul's recent revelation that he doesn't make any money on music;
could he live a decent lifestyle on Pantera
money, or are strippers simply more fun to look
at than royalty checks? Songs:Slipknot - "The Devil and I"Anaal
Nathrakh - "Idol" Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
