Ahrue Luster (Lions at the Gate, ill nino, Machine Head) - Ep062

This week Scott sits down with Ahrue Luster from Lions at the
Gate for a great conversation. 


As with previous guest Cristian Machado, Ahrue is a member of
Lions at the Gate; a group picking up momentum quickly. The
conversation begins with a discussion of how the band came
together. The fast turnaround from band formation to recording is
staggering and the results speak for themselves.


Before Lions at the Gate, Ahrue Luster was a member of Machine
Head; notably on the album The Burning Red. In this chat, Ahrue
shares the story of how he became a member of the band and much
more. It's an interesting story that just underlines how small of
a world the music industry can be. The band switched up their
sound during this time. Ahrue discusses the differences between
The Burning Red and Supercharger as well as his departure from
the band.


Ahrue was also a member of ill nino. In this discussion, Scott
gets his take on his  time with the band, his role as a
member, what led to the breakup and more.


As always, Scott goes over the discography of this week's guest.
With being a member of 3 very notable bands, they had a lot to
talk about.

The chat wraps up with more discussion of Lions at the Gate and
how his addition to the band was a life-changer.


Other topics covered include the Indigo Ranch, Slipknot, Ross
Robinson, songwriting inspirations, being a part of a sound
change in a band, 9/11's impact on the band, touring stories, and
much more!


We hope you enjoy Scott's talk with Ahrue Luster and SHARE with a
friend!
