In Episode 14 of the Podcast I talk to Paul Ortiz, the mastermind behind the instrumental Progressive Metal band Chimp Spanner. I reviewed the amazing EP ‘All Roads Lead Here’ back in February (read my review here) and have had it on constantly ever since, definitely my album of the year despite it being an EP, so it was a great pleasure for me to catch up with Paul to talk about the recent US Tour with Jeff Loomis, the recording of the EP and the gear used.

In Episode 13 of The Guitar Noize Podcast I talk to Brazillian guitarist Kiko Loureiro, I recently reviewed his new solo album “Sounds of Innocence” (you can read the review here) so I thought it would be great to talk to Kiko about the album, how some of the tracks were composed, his Brazillian influence and how he fuses it with Rock and Metal and also his signature Tagima guitars. We also talk about some of Kiko’s upcoming tour and clinic info.

Make sure you check out Kiko Loureiro’s website – http://kikoloureiro.com.br/ where you can find info about the new album, some behind the scenes studio videos and tour dates.

In my 5 years of running Guitar Noize I have had a lot of cool experiences but interviewing Steve Stevens tops everything. I remember when I started playing guitar in the late 80′s seeing photos of Steve Stevens in guitar mags advertising Hamer Guitars and Marshall Amps. ‘Bad’ by Michael Jackson had also just been released featuring Steve’s guitar work on the rock track ‘Dirty Diana’ and of course he had also played the ‘Top Gun Anthem’, (check out the video here for a trip down memory lane if you’re as old as me!). Of course Steve Stevens is most famous for playing with Billy Idol and writing classic hits such as ‘Rebel Yell’ and believe it or not he has been playing with Billy Idol for 30 years now.

I caught up with Steve Stevens the day before he was due to leave on a European Billy Idol tour to talk about his guitars, amps and the projects that he has been involved with this year.

In this episode of The Guitar Noize Podcast I talk to Ireland based Dan Barry, one of the creators of the excellent software and guitar tool, Riffstation. If you haven’t seen this software in action yet head over to their website and check out the video demos, it really is quite amazing and definitely something every guitarist will have a use for and have fun using. Dan Barry talks to Guitar Noize about how this software was developed and how, as guitarists themselves, they decided on what features they wanted to include.
