Wow! What an interview with guitar wizard, Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal. I caught up with him in Niagara Falls, NY, on a recent stop with David Ellefson on his Basstory tour. Bumble was nice enough to sit in my car for a while and tell me about lots of stuff, including…

*The tour with David

*How Sons of Apollo started and the past year touring with the band

*The making of the debut album

*Guitar players he really admires

*Writing for SOA vs. solo stuff

*What he wants the new SOA to sound like and when they’ll hit the studio

*Trying out for other bands

*Carl Palmer’s drum camp he’s involved with near the end of 2019

*Bands that influenced him as a kid

*Guitar parts he can’t figure out

*What kind of kid he was

*A message for the GNR fans on the 10th anniversary of Chinese Democracy
