Jason Newsted & Phil Collins

Former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted sits down for an in-depth conversation about his battle with throat cancer and his triumphant return to music. He discusses the Chophouse Band tour, including headline shows and dates supporting Blackberry Smoke, culminating in two nights at the historic Ryman Auditorium. Jason opens up about why he plays guitar and sings in The Chophouse Band rather than bass, his painting career, and offers candid reflections on Metallica's legacy including the Black Album and the controversial bass mix on 'And Justice for All.' He also touches on the unrealized Van Halen tribute project and emphasizes the importance of cancer screening and early detection. After that, Phil Collins sits down with Eddie Trunk to talk about his long-overdue induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist. Phil opens up about how the recognition caught him completely off guard, despite selling over 100 million albums both solo and with Genesis. He takes listeners back to the creation of his landmark album Face Value, revealing how personal struggles and an empty house led to some of his most iconic work. Phil shares the fascinating origin story of 'In the Air Tonight,' from its improvised lyrics to that legendary drum break, and discusses how his solo success actually helped Genesis break through in America.
