Episode 431 - Robb Rivera (Nonpoint)

In this episode Robb Rivera joins the podcast. Robb talks about Nonpoint’s ‘Painful Statements’ tour where they have been playing both “Statement” and “To the Pain” albums in their entirety, relearning songs that have never been performed live, the status of new music from Nonpoint, Elias Soriano’s (episode 83) voice, the Ruthless and Heartless EPs, Chris Collier’s influence on the track Paper Tigers, Jason Beiler’s involvement with the band early on, how the band’s writing approach has changed throughout the years, the influence of Robert Sweet of Stryper on his performance, Bill Ward’s return to the stage at Back to the Beginning, his love of Black Sabbath, some thoughts on Ozzy, Snot, Doc Coyle (episode 133), Shannon Larkin, and a ton more! I kick the episode off with some Nonpoint talk, and then finish some episode with a bit of talk about Rob Ruccia, and the new band announcement from members of Tesla, WASP and Saliva.
