Ultimate-Guitar.com recently caught up with Volbeat guitarist Rob caggiano for an in-depth career-spaning interview. An excerpt is available below:

UG: You joined Anthrax as a guitar player and then offered to produce "Superhero"?

Rob: "I joined them as a guitar player and then recorded that song very shortly after that. It basically happened all at the same time."

UG: That took some balls to ask a band you had just joined to produce their album.

Rob: "(Laughs) Oh, definitely. The thing with those guys is they were my favorite band for a long time as a kid. A huge influence on me musically so it was definitely a surreal time for me back then."

UG: You knew all about Anthrax before joining them?

Rob: "Of course, yeah. A legendary metal band. They were one of my favorite bands."

UG: You join Anthrax and produce the We've Come for You All record in 2003. What were those sessions like?

Rob: "It was great. I think that record went really smooth. The thing about that album was I think we started recording at the end of 2000. Basically we started the record and the band was going through a label change, management changes and all crazy stuff was happening back then. We ended up doing it in sections. So we'd record a little bit, go on tour and play some shows and come back. I think it was that kind of thing and that's how it went down."
