EOn today's episode of LET THERE BE TALK my guest is one of my all time favorite drummers Brad Wilk from one of my all time favorite bands Rage Against The Machine. This was a dream guest for me and it was so cool to be able to dive deep into Brad's career. This was Brad's first time doing a podcast and he absolutely kills it. I hope you all enjoy this episode and make sure you go out and see Prophets of Rage when they come to your town. Keep The Candles Lit
