In the dim glow of a Las Vegas studio—still echoing from his near-fatal shooting just over a year ago—guitar legend Jake E. Lee sat down with veteran rock journalist Steve Rosen.

Lee’s voice, gravelly from rehab and reflection, carried the weight of survival, betrayal, and unbreakable riffs. Rosen, the tone-chasing scribe behind iconic profiles on…

Two Jakes. One podcast. Zero warning. And the entire rock & wrestling world just lost its mind. In what fans are already calling “the greatest crossover since Avengers: Endgame,” guitar god Jake E. Lee (Ozzy Osbourne, Badlands) and wrestling monster Jake Hager (ex-WWE’s Jack Swagger, AEW, Bellator MMA) collided face-to-face on Chris Jericho’s Talk Is Jericho – and the clip is exploding across X, TikTok, and Facebook faster than a double-neck solo.
