Troy Sanders and Bill Kelliher (Mastodon) Talk with Jesse Leach (Killswitch Engage) for the Talkhouse Music Podcast

The metal legends sing jingles, discuss the perfect place to dump a body, and recount their wildest tour stories

Mastodon’s Troy Sanders and Bill Kelliher got together with their old pal Jesse Leach of Killswitch Engage to talk metal for our podcast. Except, that didn’t really happen. Instead, the guys had an impromptu riff session, including hilarious off-the-cuff stories about how Mastodon’s Brent Hinds taught Jesse to save his tour per diems for drugs, Phil Anselmo of Pantera’s bathroom antics, Bill’s high school breakdance troupe, Troy’s recommendation for the perfect place to dump a body, and so much more.
