#347 Mike Squires (Ugly Kid Joe/Loaded/Duff McKagan/Peter Hook & the Light)

Life In The Stocks

We're rapidly approaching the end of Series Four of Life In The Stocks, at which point the podcast will be going on hiatus. I hope you've enjoyed this recent run of guests and conversations. The main thing that strikes me as I prepare to take a break from the show - and as I look back on all the people I've been lucky enough to interview over the years - is all the wonderful friendships and connections that I've made along the way. Thank you to everyone who's been a part of the journey.

Mike Squires is someone I first met 12 years ago whilst working at Kerrang! Radio, when he was out on the road with Duff McKagan. Whit Crane was also there that day, and as well still playing with Duff, Mike now also plays with Ugly Kid Joe. That's a perfect metaphor for the symbiotic nature of this business. When it's good it's great - there's nothing quite like it. And it all seems to come full circle eventually. I know Mike can attest to that. This was a really wonderful conversation and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Be sure to check out Mike's podcast Couch Riffs whilst you're at it. And look out for him on bass on tour with Duff McKagan this October.
