EP 11 - The End of the Road: A Look Back at 2025

<p>Thanks for joining us one more time this year.</p><p>2025 had a way of stacking things on top of each other without much pause. The schedule stayed full, the pace didn’t really let up, and a lot of the year was spent moving forward before there was time to process any of it. Sitting down now, it feels like the right moment to look back at how much actually happened.</p><p>The year was shaped by the tours I was able to be a part of, my first time going to Australia, and stepping into drum tech work for the first time. Being in new environments and taking on more responsibility changed how I approached the road and what I took away from the year.</p><p><br></p><p>There’s also no way to talk about this year without acknowledging how much loss the music world took on. The deaths of Ozzy, Ace Frehley, Sam Rivers, Dave Shapiro, and so many others cast a long shadow over the year and we talk honestly about how that weight carries differently when this is your everyday environment.</p><p><br></p><p>We also get into the bigger industry moments that defined the year like Megadeth announcing their retirement, and what those kinds of announcements signal about where heavy music is at right now.</p><p><br></p><p>Alongside all of that, we talk about growth. 2025 ended up being the biggest year so far for both Take Me On Tour and The Logan Show, and we reflect on what it’s taken to get them there.</p><p><br></p><p>Thanks for closing out the year with us. Here’s to 2026!</p><p><br></p><p>0:00 - Welcome Back!</p><p>10:38 - AC/DC&#39;s &quot;PWR UP&quot; Tour</p><p>14:18 - Disturbed&#39;s &quot;The Sickness&quot; Tour</p><p>17:37 - The Summer of Loud Tour</p><p>20:26 - Sleep Token&#39;s &quot;Even In Arcadia&quot; Tour</p><p>32:58 - Tours to See In 2026</p><p>34:13 - Motley Crue&#39;s &quot;Carnival of Sins&quot; Tour</p><p>40:31 - 10 Years In the Game</p><p>44:18 - Biggest News In 2025</p><p>53:57 - The Tragic Passing of Dave Shapiro</p><p>56:41 - What A Year for John Hoffman</p><p>1:05:32 - Is This the End of Slipknot?</p><p>1:13:32 - In Person with Charlie Starr</p><p>1:17:06 - Huge Thanks to All My Guests and Viewers!</p><p>1:19:47 - Collaborating with Slipknot</p><p>1:24:39 - The Future Is Unpredictable</p><p>1:27:44 - See You In 2026!</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>www.takemeontour.com</p><p><br></p><p>steven@takemeontour.com</p><p><br></p><p>____________________________________________________</p><p><br></p><p>Links Related to This Episode</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Logan&#39;s Interview with Charlie Starr of Blackberry Smoke</p><p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftqw_vQBD3Y</p><p><br></p><p>Jamey Jasta (Hatebreed) On Patreon</p><p>https://www.patreon.com/jasta</p><p><br></p><p>Roadie Friday Podcast (Jose Escudero and Darren Makins)</p><p>https://open.spotify.com/show/0KQs0n1sKzDJHYK1gImIo2?si=8dcbd2c8785b4faa</p><p><br></p><p>Warm Beer Cold Pizza Podcast (Steve Warmbier)</p><p>https://open.spotify.com/show/4PXVbcEM5Z7Bg8ivCfUtso?si=02dcd732b81e48e1</p><p><br></p><p>____________________________________________________</p><p><br></p><p>Listen to the podcast on your favorite platform!</p><p><br></p><p>Spotify</p><p>https://open.spotify.com/show/5AeMo3SDqs1ELUSBFa9Z2m</p><p><br></p><p>Apple Podcasts</p><p>https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/take-me-on-tour/id1729129027</p><p><br></p><p>YouTube Music</p><p>https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC_4uT5wogtxoAbVDInNpNCdYiEQw3mFU</p><p><br></p><p>Amazon Music</p><p>https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b5a6e6fc-6a7e-47a6-b03a-779a24befb98/take-me-on-tour</p><p><br></p><p>iHeart Radio</p><p>https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-take-me-on-tour-147868454/</p><p><br></p><p>Castbox</p><p>https://castbox.fm/channel/id6011032?country=us</p><p><br></p><p>Overcast</p><p>https://overcast.fm/itunes1729129027</p><p><br></p><p>Pocket Casts</p><p>https://pca.st/moajb7aa</p><p><br></p><p>RadioPublic</p><p>https://radiopublic.com/take-me-on-tour-GqEvpg</p><p><br></p><p>____________________________________________________</p><p><br></p><p>Follow Take Me On Tour!</p><p><br></p><p>Main YouTube Channel</p><p>https://www.youtube.com/takemeontour</p><p><br></p><p>Podcast Channel</p><p>https://www.youtube.com/@TakeMeOnTourPodcast</p><p><br></p><p>TikTok</p><p>https://www.tiktok.com/@takemeontour</p><p><br></p><p>Instagram</p><p>https://www.instagram.com/takemeontour</p><p><br></p><p>Facebook</p><p>https://www.facebook.com/takemeontour</p><p><br></p><p>X (Twitter)</p><p>https://www.twitter.com/takemeontour_</p><p><br></p><p>Threads</p><p>https://threads.net/@takemeontour</p>

EP 9 - Drum Teching Down Under: 10 Years In the Making

<p>After ten years of touring, I finally made it to Australia, but it almost didn’t happen! My visa didn’t get approved until the very last day, and for a while, it looked like I might miss the tour completely. Thankfully, everything came through just in time, and I spent seven incredible days drum teching for Jake Garland of Memphis May Fire across Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne.</p><p><br></p><p>The trip was packed with some unforgettable moments. I got to see the Sydney Opera House up close, spend a day on Rottnest Island, and even hang out with some exotic animals in Brisbane thanks to Wildlife HQ Zoo and Atreyu for setting that up. It was one of those trips that reminded me just how grateful I am to get to do this for a living. Short but fulfilling, and easily one of the highlights of my touring career so far.</p><p><br></p><p>Check it out now on the latest episode of the Take Me On Tour Podcast!</p><p><br></p><p>0:00 - It&#39;s Good To Be Back!</p><p>5:05 - How I Landed the Gig</p><p>9:44 - The Travel Days Are Intense</p><p>15:56 - Working for Memphis May Fire</p><p>17:50 - A Wild Day In Brisbane</p><p>23:35 - Little Things I Noticed In Australia</p><p>26:19 - A Day On Rottnest Island</p><p>33:41 - What&#39;s Next?</p><p><br></p><p>www.takemeontour.com</p><p><br></p><p>steven@takemeontour.com</p><p><br></p><p>____________________________________________________</p><p><br></p><p>Listen to the podcast on your favorite platform!Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/5AeMo3SDqs1ELUSBFa9Z2mApple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/take-me-on-tour/id1729129027YouTube Musichttps://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC_4uT5wogtxoAbVDInNpNCdYiEQw3mFUAmazon Musichttps://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b5a6e6fc-6a7e-47a6-b03a-779a24befb98/take-me-on-touriHeart Radiohttps://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-take-me-on-tour-147868454/Castboxhttps://castbox.fm/channel/id6011032?country=usOvercasthttps://overcast.fm/itunes1729129027Pocket Castshttps://pca.st/moajb7aaRadioPublichttps://radiopublic.com/take-me-on-tour-GqEvpg____________________________________________________Follow Take Me On Tour!Main YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/takemeontourPodcast Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@TakeMeOnTourPodcastTikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@takemeontourInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/takemeontourFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/takemeontourX (Twitter)https://www.twitter.com/takemeontour_Threadshttps://threads.net/@takemeontour</p>
