Ep. 88 Alan Robert (Life of Agony)

Joshua Toomey

In the world of music podcasting, there are basically two categories - podcasts by fans, and podcasts by famed musicians that have reached the pinnacle of success. Somewhere in the middle of that is the Talk Toomey podcast. Hosted by Joshua Toomey, who previously was a member of national recording artists Primer 55, Talk Toomey avoids the pitfalls of fandom and the backslapping glad handing that comes from successful bands shamelessly talking to each other. Instead, you get focused, powerful and real looks into “the inner circle” of being a hard rock/heavy metal band, complete with questions most are too afraid to ask because their experience doesn’t meet or exceed the level needed to ask and relate. Talk Toomey has been regularly hailed as a top show since the onset, being highlighted on sites like Blabbermouth, Brave Words, etc. Talk Toomey is released for music fans free every Thursday!

Alan Robert of Life of Agony joins the show this week. Alan and Josh talk about the new Life of Agony album "A Place Where There's No More Pain". The guys discuss Alan's artistic side including his graphic novels and adult coloring book. Alan speaks openly about Mina Caputo and the changes the vocalist has gone through. They also go over the time Whitfield Crane was in the band and the possibility of Alan taking over the vocals at one point. Alan tells great stories of the shooting the Through and Through video and touring with Carcass, Korn and Ozzy.

This episode also marks the beginning of Mike G joining the podcast as a co-host. Mike lets Josh know about his love of Ugly Kid Joe and this may be the last time Mike is allowed to pick the Talk Toomey cover of the week, which is Ugly kid Joe covering Black Sabbath's N.I.B.

The final thought for the week is a discussion about the Roach Koach Podcast. The hosts have both fallen down the rabbit hole of that great show.
