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.  0:00:00 - Intro0:00:30 - dUg's Early Life & Musical Influences 0:03:54 - The Beatles 0:08:10 - Led Zeppelin 0:10:50 - Breaking Music Rules 0:13:00 - Over My Head 0:16:45 - Kerrang Album of the Year & Critical Acclaim 0:20:50 - Popularity & Timing of the Band 0:25:04 - Sam Taylor & Band Name 0:28:28 - Rick Rubin & Brendan O'Brien0:33:30 - New Kings X Record & Getting Older0:39:40 - Tour with Motley Crue 0:43:50 - Hanging with AC/DC 0:49:03 - Song for Virtual Reality & Metaverse0:54:22 - Division, Politics, & Laws 1:00:02 - Religion & Spirituality1:04:11 - Praying About Being Gay 1:06:38 - Accepting Differences & Abuse of Religion 1:09:50 - Getting Older & Becoming Happier 1:14:34 - Health & Blood Tests 1:17:20 - Upcoming Shows & Music 1:19:05 - Compassion International 1:20:22 - Wrap Up & Outro dUg Pinnick website:https://www.dugnation.netCompassion International website:https://www.compassion.comChuck Shute website:http://chuckshute.comSupport the show (https://venmo.com/Chuck-Shute)
