Signals From Mars Episode 309 Rick Hughes Sword

SWORD | RICK HUGHES

In this episode of Signals From Mars, we welcome Rick Hughes of the band Sword.

Among the topics discussed include the band’s new album III, their first album in 34 years. The process behind making the album. How Rick felt that he had to continuously up his game to match what the rest of the band had done on the album. Touring with the likes of Metallica, Alice Cooper, and Motorhead. And thanks to a heads up from former Radioactive Metal host Roch Vaillancourt, I ask Rick about an incident with a Harley Davidson motorcycle. We also discuss the band playing festivals like Keep It True and Heavy Montreal.

You can check out Roch’s original Album Autopsy on Sword’s 1986 album Metalized here, Part 1 and Part 2.
