Episode 208 - dUg Pinnick!!!  I sit down for a very candid conversation with dUg Pinnick (Kings X, KXM, Grinder Blues).  We discuss his opinions on the Beatles and Led Zeppelin, critical acclaim versus popularity of Kings X, tour stories of Motley Crue & AC/DC and much more! Things get deep and philosophical towards the end and I really enjoyed the conversation.
