Udo Dirkschneider, Mark Strigl and Fitty Wienhold - 2013

This episode was recorded at Dave’s Tavern and at the NYC Gibson Showroom.  It includes an interview with Udo Dirkschneider and Fitty Wienhold from the band U.D.O.

Interview topics with Udo and Fitty include the new U.D.O. Steelhamer album, the new band lineup, Stefan Kaufmann, memories of touring with Ozzy and Iron Maiden in the 80s, how he came up his classic signature look and his thoughts on the last 2 Accept albums.

Udo:   “I was listening to Blood of Nations, of course, good album, good singer.  The second album is not as good as the first one, outside of the song, Stalingrad, I have a feeling they were recording the 2^nd album along with the first one.   Wolf said he was not in contact with me about a reunion but this is not true.  He was asking me.  We had a long talk and in the end I said no.  I told Wolf I don’t want to do it again.  I am really happy with U.D.O. “ to hear the full interview jump to 14:50 of the podcast.
