Dan Estrin on writing The Reason in his mom’s guest bedroom, surviving a life-threatening accident days before tour, and still hearing the song in the wild years later: “I’m at the grocery store… and the florist lady is just rocking out, singing it.” Some songs don’t leave quietly.
“…I was told you had to be in a very narrow lane to be legitimate.”

“If you think the song is about you, you’re probably correct.” Anthrax's Scott Ian didn’t name names, but Get Off doesn’t bother with subtlety anyway. Motor Sister sounds like five friends locking in, turning amps up, and remembering that rock & roll is supposed to be fun. No frills. All frills.
“We check the nostalgia box like a mofo.”
NKOTB's Joey McIntyre on touring, embracing the past without getting stuck in it, and realizing the choreography from 1992 is still very much in their bones.
“I wouldn’t be on this interview if I wasn’t Caleb from Stranger Things,” Caleb McLaughlin said, reflecting on the show that shaped his life and career.
