This Week's Show #084
This week, Dann & Mike crack open the vault to revisit one of the wildest interviews in The Mike James Rock Show history — THE DEFILED! 💀🔥
From touring with Ghost and Gojira, to playing on a literal iceberg for Jägermeister, this episode is pure madness. The guys reflect on the band’s legacy, insane live shows, horror aesthetics, and unforgettable chaos — including interviews that nearly went off the rails (and boats).
Expect behind-the-scenes stories about:
🧊 The Defiled’s Arctic Circle gig
🥃 Jägermeister-fueled tours with Ghost & Gojira
🎤 Life before Red Method & Lowlives
🤣 The time AVD introduced himself 30 times in one night
🎸 What made The Defiled one of the UK’s last true rock ‘n’ roll bands
We also catch up on where the band’s members are now — from AVD’s Red Method to Lee’s new life in California with Lowlives (currently touring with Steel Panther!).
👉 Stick around till the end as Mike & Dann launch their official campaign for a Defiled reunion show — and maybe, just maybe, you can help make it happen.
