Episode #325 - Interview with Greg Lindstrom of Cirith Ungol - Part 2

This week we bring you the second installment of Jarvis' insightful conversation with Cirith Ungol co-founder Greg Lindstrom. During this chat, Greg explains how Robert Garven, Jerry Fogle and he formed the short-lived band Titanic and how Titanic morphed into Cirith Ungol. He talks about early gear, early jam sessions, and early performances, including a disastrous stint supporting a theater production of The Hobbit. Greg also fills in the gap in the band's history from 1971 to 1978, featuring a prolific songwriting period spanning from 1976 to 1979, which yielded some of Cirith Ungol's best-loved material to this day.
