Featured Guest
Sonny Sandoval (P.O.D) vocals "One Step Closer"

My eldest son plays drums in a few different Heavy Metal projects, his way of following Dad's footsteps you could say. I however have been a vocalist all my musical career. I gave him the name Spider because like Mick Fleetwood my son is very skinny and very tall. When playing the drums he looks like some maniac spider beating the hell out of something. He turned me on to Linkin Park after I turned him onto Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath etc. They are one of his favorite bands along with Avenged Sevenfold (another band he turned me onto). I love that full circle thing. I took him to his first concert, which Kiss like mine. He later took me to what ended up being my last time seeing Lemmy Kilmister front Motörhead live. I'm glad all my kids like a lot of the same music as the old man does.

Any way this is a nice little performance from KROQ's famous annual Christmas Show. P.O.D.'s lead singer Sonny Sandoval steps up to guest on Linkin Park's anthem "One Step Closer". A song that everybody can relate to at least once in their life.
