Bed of Nails. Welsh valley native, shredding guitar wizard and all around tidy boyo, Tristan Thomas, is our guest on Episode 268 of Sappenin' Podcast! The Florence Black vocalist exclusively celebrates the release of the bands new single, by reflecting on their start in Merthyr Tydfil, breaking boundaries at classic rock festivals and getting endorsed by all their metal heroes. In this conversation, Tristan explains how preparing their second album has changed the groups mentality, industry success vs maintaining friendships, originally preforming together as kids, being handpicked by Corey Taylor (Slipknot) to tour europe, learning tricks as local roadies, driving other artists around the country, stalking Jack Black at HellFest, wild stadium gigs vs awkward support slots, convincing Padge (Bullet For My Valentine) to manage them, songwriting secrets, hilarious inside jokes, confusing Wales mannerisms, seven string guitars, unholy confessions, moshing in a Spanish restaurant, boarder control strip searches and more!
