   Hear 2 Zen Episode 320: Ryan Neff (Miss May I) on Vulnerability, Album Releases And Tour Life

   On Episode 320 of The Hear 2 Zen Podcast, we sit down with Ryan Neff, bassist and vocalist for metalcore heavyweights Miss May I, for an honest dive into the emotional reality of dropping new music in 2026. Releasing their ninth record, Ryan opens up about the weight of handing over deeply personal songs to the public. He shares the struggle of letting go of ownership, navigating the pressure to connect with long-time fans, and why he finds himself searching for those few bad comments despite glowing feedback. Beyond the studio, Ryan lifts the veil on tour life, from the grueling balance of self-managing equipment on the road and late-night van driving to why he actually prefers van tours over luxury buses. The two also talk about the crucial role live shows play in proving new material and Ryan’s eager desire to bring Miss May I back to Australian shores. In this episode, we cover: The precarious emotional rollercoaster of album release weeks Navigating online feedback and learning to let go of creative ownership The stark contrast between bus touring and van tour camaraderie How Ryan manages downtime and keeps energy high before headline sets A special message to Miss May I’s Australian fanbase Don't Miss An Episode 🔗Head to the website for all the info 📺 Watch on YouTube: Subscribe to our YouTube Channel and hit that notification bell so you never miss a legendary interview. 🎧 Listen on the Go: Find us on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all your favorite podcast platforms. 📱 Get Social: Follow the journey by searching Hear 2 Zen on all social media platforms! 🎧 Stream the episode now on all major podcast platforms or read the full interview write-up at Hear2Zen.com! #Hear2Zen #MissMayI #RyanNeff #Metalcore #HeavyMetal #PodcastEpisode #NewMusic2026 #ConcertLife #AustralianMetalheads #MusicInterview #tourlife

   Hear 2 Zen Podcast Episode 318: Billy Morrison on 'Hollow', Writing The Songs Of Life And A Life Beyond the Comment Section

   In Episode 318 of The Hear 2 Zen Podcast, we sit down for an unfiltered, hilarious, and deeply honest conversation with the ultimate multi-hyphenate artist, Billy Morrison. Known globally as Billy Idol's long-time rhythm guitarist, a celebrated fine artist, and a popular radio host, Billy opens up about his acclaimed solo record Hollow, shutting the door on 31 years of personal recovery through music, and why he serves the song over his own ego. In this episode, we chat about: Life on Tour: Handling 3 AM interviews, private planes, and why tour scheduling is never predictable. The Record (Hollow): Why Hollow serves as a cathartic, life-affirming body of work after decades of sobriety, and how he approaches major collaborations without using feature names as "name drops." Working with Ozzy Osbourne: The special trust behind writing and recording with the Prince of Darkness and what really makes a legendary performance happen, "The Hang." Videos & Creative Freedom: Directing on an iPhone on tour, tribute moments to Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive," and working with director/photographer Jane Stewart. Fine Art & Life Lessons: How Ozzy Osbourne literally forced him into painting, his Warhol-meets-Banksy aesthetic, and why street smarts beat book skills every single time. Social Media Reality: Turning off comment sections, handling internet rage-baiters, and navigating AI in modern art.
