Goo Goo Dolls' Johnny Rzeznik tells us it's amazing to watch a producer take his song to a place he'd never anticipate it going, how he's the type of guy to wait for a sign from a girl before making a move, how assault weapons make no sense to him and how meeting Nelson Mandela was a shock.

Drowning Pool's Stevie Benton tells us how they're able to write what feels natural with new vocalist Jasen Moreno, how Jasen lights up the crowd so much they call it 'Moreno Mania', how he wants to learn the sleeper hold from Fozzy's Chris Jericho, and how letting Drowning Pool end would mean closing the book on Dave, which they won't do.
