In our second episode of the AltWire Podcast, we speak with lead guitarist Ryan Phillips about the band&#8217;s remarkable three-decade journey and their musical inspiration. Ryan&#8217;s story of picking up a guitar at an early age and his experience in making it in the music industry is not to be missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to learning about Story of the Year&#8217;s roots, Ryan also speaks about the high points &#8212; global recognition and a 2004 tour with Linkin Park &#8212; and even some low points, including an incident where Godsmack&#8217;s road crew and Story of the Year got into it (here&#8217;s a recap), and how Covid changed the band&#8217;s plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also take some time to discuss their sixth studio album <em>Tear Me to Pieces<\/em>, and how their return to basics approach helped them create one of their best records yet. Finally, Ryan has a message for Story of the Year fans and hints at a pretty big tour soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>00:00 <\/strong>Introducci\u00f3n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>00:49<\/strong> Interview with Ryan Phillips Begins<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>00:57<\/strong> Reflecting on the Band&#8217;s Journey<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>02:15<\/strong> Early Days and Musical Inspirations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>03:54<\/strong> Formative Years and Band Evolution<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>04:41<\/strong> Working with John Feldman<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>06:29<\/strong> Experiencing Global Recognition<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>08:31<\/strong> Touring with Linkin Park<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>12:03<\/strong> Backstage Fight Incident<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>14:11<\/strong> Participation in &#8216;When We Were Young&#8217;
