Amplified w/Darby

For three decades, Darby has been living rock ’n’ roll at full volume. He’s shared stories and traded laughs with the gods of heavy music—Metallica, Ozzy, Van Halen, KISS, Avenged Sevenfold, Korn, Disturbed, Deftones, and more.

Now, he’s taking that same no-bullshit energy to the podcast world—where the conversations hit harder, the stories run deeper, and nothing gets turned
