Episode 16 : Steve Lagudi (Machine Head, God Forbid, Exodus, Napalm Death)

This week Stephen is joined by New York's finest live sound engineer, Steve Lagudi. Steve is probably best known for his work with bay area giants Machine Head but has worked with bands such as Exodus, Ill Nino, Napalm Death, Vision Of Disorder, God Forbid, Possessed, 5FDP and many many more. He is a guy who takes no punches and candidly opened up to Stephen, telling the journey through his career, from being a Metallica superfan at a young age, all the way through to staying at Dimebag Darrell's house whilst mixing the 5th year anniversary of the Ride For Dime Concert.Steve passionately talks about his fantastic work with Machine Head and his part in helping make the 25th Anniversary Burn My Eyes shows happen... And yes... We do get Steve's first-hand account of THAT night at Brixton Academy when Steve saved the show from every sound engineer's worse nightmare.We are proud to be partnering this season with our friends over at Signature Brew who have been brewing music-inspired beers and supporting live music since 2011.
