Rob: It was totally great working with Jacob. LRI: What was it like working with Jacob in the studio? Rob and longtime Volbeat producer Jacob Hansen It just totally grew from there and was an amazing experience in the studio. He originally called me to see if I would produce, I said yes, then he asked me if I would contribute and play a couple solos on the record and I said yeah.

I flew to Copenhagen a couple days later and we just got the ball rolling. It took me all of about two seconds to say yeah (laughs) and that’s pretty much how it went down. Rob: When I left Anthrax I put a press release out and Michael called me right away to see if I’d be interested in working on the new Volbeat record. LRI: Volbeat have always worked with Jacob Hansen producing and I was anxious to hear what your production would bring to the new album how did you wind up getting involved this time around? Rob: Right… there is no bad blood we both played that same night and we hung out and everything was fun. LRI: We saw you in Chicago and it was amazing as always, Anthrax was in town so it was a tough decision! There were people thing that there was bad blood between you and the Anthrax guys but that is proving to be bullshit… Anders, Jon and Michael and I seem to have a great working chemistry. I can’t wait to play every night on this tour. the shows have been insane the crowds have been insane. Rob Caggiano: The tour has been a blast so far…. Legendary Rock Interviews: Thanks for talking to me Rob…how have the shows been going? We’ve had drummer Jon Larsen on LRI a couple times but were stoked to talk with Rob about the new album and how he’s enjoying the touring cycle, read on…. I’ve caught Rob and Volbeat a couple times on tour since he co-produced and performed on the amazing new “Outlaw Gentlemen and Shady Ladies” album and it definitely seems like both Rob and Volbeat are complete. As a fan of Rob in Anthrax, I was a little disappointed until I heard he would be a fulltime member of one of my other all-time favorite bands. Some time ago we all heard the “bad news/good news” that guitarist Rob Caggiano would be leaving Anthrax and joining Volbeat.
