It gives me great pleasure to welcome Dane Campbell.
Dane is the son of Motörhead guitarist, Phil Campbell.
After the death of Motörhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister in 2015, Dane and his two brothers, Todd and Tyla, joined their father to form Phil Campbell and The Bastard Sons in 2016.
Currently the band have released two albums and an EP and have toured the world as support for Guns N Roses, Saxon and Airborne.
Dane also hosts his own podcast, Drum For The Song, which see’s him interview some of the greatest drummers on the planet.
Guests have included Charlie Benante from Anthrax, Ex Guns N Roses drummer Matt Sorum and Mikkey Dee from The Scorpions, Motörhead and King Diamond.
Back in June I spoke to Dane about what it was like growing up around rock music and Motörhead.
We spoke about how he started playing music with his dad and brothers and how things had progressed from forming Phil Campbell’s All Star Band to Phil Campbell And The Bastard Sons.
At the time of this interview the singer of Phil Campbell And The Bastard Sons, Neil Starr, had parted ways with the band.
They had begun holding auditions to find a new singer but with appearances at Steelhouse Festival and Bloodstock looming, time was running out.
Dane talks about what they’re looking for in their new frontman and why singing like Lemmy won’t get you the job!
