We cannot say how sorry we were to hear that Mark Reale finally lost his battle with Crohn's Disease just days ago. Godspeed, brother.Seeing one of your favorite bands lose a key member always hurts, doesn't it? Join Genghis and Ragman as they discuss the recent departure of Howard Jones from Killswitch Engage and wonder who, if anyone, could fill his shoes. Next, the boys cornered Riot vocalist, Tony Moore, for a tête-à-tête. Tony discusses Riot's latest release, Immortal Soul, as well as what got the classic Thundersteel line up back together.

Note: This interview was taped before the passing of long time Riot guitarist and founding member, Mark Reale. We here at The Right to Rock want to express our sincerest condolences to the Reale family and friends. Rest in peace, Mark.
