David Reece (Bangalore Choir, ex-Accept, Bonfire) joins We Go to 11 for a career-spanning interview that is equal parts hard rock history and absolute chaos. David opens up about his brand new album, Rapid Fire Succession (billed as On Target Part II), and why he finally decided to reclaim the sound of 1992.

But the stories don't stop at the music. David shares the "Spinal Tap" reality of the Sunset Strip era, including the time Bangalore Choir destroyed a limousine, resulting in a $12,500 bill and a fistfight on the freeway. He also reveals the unbelievable true story of how he gave a 15-year-old Jared Leto his very first acting job in the "Loaded Gun" music video.

Plus, we dive deep into the legacy of Accept’s Eat the Heat. David reflects on being "loved or hated" with no in-between, and why fans are finally apologizing to him 36 years later.

In this interview:
The Return of Bangalore Choir: Why David views Rapid Fire Succession as the true sequel to On Target and how the song "Driver's Seat" kickstarted the project.

The Jared Leto Connection: How a young Jared Leto was cast in the "Loaded Gun" video for $100 and how he reacted when running into David years later.

The Limo Disaster: The insane story of a drunken ride down the 101 that ended with burning seats, broken crystal, and a furious limo owner.

Accept & "Eat the Heat": The controversy of replacing Udo, the "German Tank," and why the album is seeing a resurgence among collectors today.

The "Prisoner" Remake: Why David hated the original production on Eat the Heat and how he modernized it for the new album.

Bikers & "Payment": The time a motorcycle club refused to pay the band in cash and offered a slab of cocaine instead.

Touring Plans: Exclusive info on a planned U.S. tour for early next year.
