First and foremost, we try to speak to the awful loss of Every Time I Die legend Andy Williams. From there we tackle new singles from Slipknot and Spiritbox, the hallucinatory hellscape stories…
But as we get into the actual news that we are here to talk about, first of all, we do have, like, quite a few high-profile, big stories to talk about.
Like, there's real some stuff of meat to chew on this week in the world of rock and metal news.
Uh, because earlier this week, i- in the, in the middle of the week, we got the news of the passing of Andy Williams from Every Time I Die, the guitarist, one of two guitarists in that band.
Guitarist, then turned professional wrestler, uh, in- incredibly for the last few years o- of his life, uh, wrestling in AEW under the name The Butcher.
Um, but of course, so many of us here in the rock world know him as one of Every Time I Die's two incredible axe slingers, one of the most beloved bands of their genre of the, the 21st century.
And Andy Williams, um, after a, a wrestling match, seemingly suffering a, a medical emergency and, and, and collapsing and passing away, uh, short- shortly afterwards at the age of just 48.
And it's been a, it's been a rough time recently, hasn't it? It's been one of those periods, like, you know, last year when we got that run of, you know, Ozzy and Brent Hinds and Tomas Lindberg and all these, like, incredible, iconic names.
Um, it feels like the last sort of couple months, I mean, particularly in the world of hardcore, right? Where we had, you know, uh-
Bo KLuders from, from Harm's Way and Luke Holler from Sick of It All, and now, um, Andy Williams as well.
It feels like that scene in particular just keeps losing a lot of icons and, and scene pillars recently.
And, and Every Time I Die being, you know, in the T and M sphere, a band who we as a podcast have just s- spoken about so lovingly all through down the years, and Andy Williams as, I don't know, one of the most lovable characters in that band, I think.
Um, and, like, just the outpouring of condolences and, like, sadness you see from everyone, it's made it even just, like ...
It, it's very beautiful that everyone loved Andy, and no one had a single bad word to say about, against him.
Like, I obviously, like, we fucking, as part of that two-headed riff machine in Every Time I Die, how many of those fucking riffs do s- we still have discourse about? I feel like every six months someone will tweet, "Is this the best riff of all time?" in, like, the Map Change riff.
It's like, Every Time I Die riffs are still talked ab- like the Werewolf riff or, like, Wanderlust.
