Interview

CBS Dallas Forth Worth talked to the father of 35-year old James Boulware, the lone shooter who opened fire on Dallas Police Headquarters Saturday morning.

Despite recent bizarre appearances and testimony from musicians close to him, Scott Weiland maintains he has not used drugs in 13 years.

At this years Big Purple Party We Are Harlot tore up the big stage and I got a chance to talk to lead guitarist Jeff George about meeting up in Colorado, licking Eddie Van Halen's face if he ever met him and of course working with Danny Worsnop.

At the Big Purple Party, my bro Danny Worsnop took some time to talk with me about We Are Harlot and what fans can expect when they see We Are Harlot live.

"It's our big day," said Nancy Neal with Lubbock Parks and Recreation. "Our pools open today (June 2) and just in time for the ninety degree weather." The City of Lubbock has four swimming pools that will open today: Clapp Park, Maxey Park, Montelongo Pool (located in the Arnett Benson area) and Mae Simmons Pool...

At this year's Big Purple Party, Papa Roach frontman Jacoby Shaddix took some time to talk with me about performing with a female on stage for the first time, along with referring to We Are Harlot as the gift that keeps on giving and what performing live means to Papa Roach.

I caught Maria between In The Moment's performance at the Big Purple Party and her jumping up on stage with Papa Roach for the duet of "Gravity." She was an absolute sweetheart. Yes guys, she was between costume changes, in a bathrobe and it was THE BEST THING EVER!

I had the most amazing conversation with Phil Labonte on his band All That Remains backstage at the Big Purple Party. I am fascinated by the band's incredible use of acoustic and electric guitars and their ability to embrace both the soft and the heavy, the light and the dark.

Five Finger Death Punch's Zoltan Bathory discusses their upcoming tour with Papa Roach, gives an album update and talks about why the band loves ShipRocked.

We are getting close to this year's Big Purple Party, and a band playing the show that you might not know (but should!) is Sons of Texas. Lead guitarist Jes DeHoyos took some time to call in to The Midday Meltdown and talk about the show and a subject near and dear to my heart: drinking.

Cody Hanson drummer of Hinder took some time time and called into The Midday Meltdown with Rooster to talk about returning to Lubbock and the new album.

As we prepare for the Big Purple Party, Papa Roach's Tobin Esperance took some time to call into the Midday Meltdown to talk about the band's new album, "Gravity" music video and performing live.
