In this episode, members of the all-star band Close Enemies—featuring Tom Hamilton (Aerosmith), Tony Brock (The Babys), Peter Stroud (Sheryl Crow), Trace Foster (AC/DC’s tech guru), and Chasen Hampton—talk about how the band came together and why the name works, even though they're all tight friends. They share hilarious stories about naming struggles (yes, "Blitzkrieg Butthole" was discussed), old-school touring memories, and what still drives them to create music. The guys reminisce on the golden era of rock—Midnight Special, chart rivalries, and UFO’s Strangers in the Night. Plus, find out how one hotel hallway chat changed everything for Close Enemies.
